Sinister Obsession

-23- MOTHER'S SACRIFICE

Estrella encourages me "It is time cary. Finish telling him. He will understand." With a deep breath I continue "Robert. In order to tell you why I erased your memories I must tell you everything. Including my own loss." 

Looking to Alejandro. His gaze from me moves away. Bella stood looking holding Rosa in her arms, both being held by Yonell. "On that night Eduardo uttered spell that killed my pack "In darkest night. Blackness rules. To kill and devour weaker fools. Let the straight be free, for their might is right. Let my spirits consume ALL GAYS TONIGHT!! FOR I....."

"Before he could complete the spell. I ran back and finish what I had started. This time." This time taking his head. But the damage had been done. When Carmen and I returned to the pack, we found many allies and members dead.

We ran into the pack house and there was the worst site ever. There we found the bodies of wulflings. Having fallen huddled around the cubs protectively. The wuflings were dying. Blood seeping out of their ears, eyes, nose and mouth. Each wulfing that was gay, was being consumed from within by necromantic spirits we could not dispel. It was then, pulling the pile of protective parents off their wulflings who themselves were covering you with their very bodies. They were protecting you four, the next generations leaders. Gaining access, moving bodies to the side we found your four.

Bella, Belie and Adelphi together, had cast a spell of their own. A dome barrier encasing you four and Cristina. Carmen screamed running to Adelphi who had been one of the mystics attempting to protect our wulflings.

She screamed as she held her mother's dying body, slumping with her in her arms. To the floor. Belladonna and Belie were still being consumed from within.

But stood, arms extended, hands grasped holding the spell within them, chanting. But they were dying and their wulf speak was weakening.

The spirits assaulting them were beginning to get through. Their focus was the next generation of guardians. Their focus were you four. But it was when, when the dark necromantic spirits turned to attack us, Sable reacted like never.

It was savagery and rage I have never seen before. He phased, sprang forth looked at me for what seemed like an eternity before saying, "You are my mother. No matter what happens to me, you will always be. I will die before any harm befalls you mother. I love you."

Sable sprang upwards, piercing the barrier effortlessly. He unleashed a might neither I nor Estrella have ever seen. Before all present, Sable transformed into something not of this world. 

From his tranformation, in an instant, the spirits froze seeing something I can only describe as fear. For in the next moment they halted their assault. the shapeless forms began to tremble in their aura. They no longer focused on killing. Instead, they began to flee.

But it was too late. He unleashed all his power into an electrical circular blast. The blast engulfed all the spirits. Then Sable did something that severed your bond, Alejandro" 

Looking to my cub, Alejandro's frozen gaze remained to me. It told me he and the others, remained disbelieving at what they were hearing

"He. He absorbed them into himself. It was then. To protect you, he severed your bond. His powerful aura disappeared, retreating into you Alejandro."

My gaze, reliving that day, turns once more towards the ground. "I held your unconscious human form in my arms wailing. It was then I learned the true fighting spirit you both possess. A faint wulf speak. Which came from your unconscious human body were my wulflings' last words "Protect.....him....Mother."

As a mother, bereaved with anguish, I screamed and was about to open a portal to exchange his soul for my own. But at that moment, Estrella stepped in showing me the future. How my cub, MY WULF CUB would one day return.

Looking at your human form, She said one cannot exist without the other. Sable had sacrificed himself just to protect you and all of us. The remaining three cubs, seeing their future leader destroyed, Exploded, releasing their full might. Even at such a young age, the combining might of the three of you would have destroyed the earth. Such has always been your bond.

As Celestial Guardian and pack Alpha. Estrella used her full might to contain your powers. And she did. Using a portal so powerful Estrella diverted all your combined might to space itself.

There she unleashed it to the one place that could absorb it. IT will forever be known as, the lunar eclipse."

For a moment everyone looks up to the sun. Then return their gaze back to me. " Having saved us, Estrella ran to belie and BellaDonna. We phased and cradled your mother, in my arms.

My childhood friend, my first Beta was dying and there was nothing I or Estrella could do. As she was dying, her right hand reached for Belie and his left hers. My eyes saw you come and grab your mother.

Then a cub, screaming, clinging to your mother looking to your father. Your mind was gone. Your body had become a phantom form as a wulf. You screamed like a banshee and spirits were amassing, coming to your aid."It was then Bella asked something of me which left me torn.

My eyes look to Bella remembering that day, tears coming down her face. I stop. She continues

"I said My Alpha. My sister, please. I am dying My son should not remember this memory. He should not live life remembering the events... they killed his parents. Erase it. Please, Estrella. You are both mother and guardian. Protect my wufling. Please, Alpha"

Bella looks to Robert "You screamed in vaporous form. But I saw what was happening to you. You were fading. You were so young, so innocent with no control of your gift. You would have died."

I look to my alpha "I told her "He will be raised with Rosa and Yonel. He will be safe. He will know love." My sight goes to them, quivering lips and emotions causing silent tears to fall.

Holding one another's hands. "Raise our baby. Love him as we would. He must never know what happened to us. Please They nodded and promised. It was then I asked this of her and she did."

Robert turns his eyes on me and I see. He understood. He saw my sorrow, his eyes softened. Then he showed me a small smile of understanding. I continued,

"On that night, Carmen became my new Beta. She swore an oath to me. She would never allow this to be spoken of by anyone to prevent me from reliving the pain and protect you from it. Those were the missions she always left on when I was alpha and she my beta. To forever silence any who sought to return this pain to me or use it against me with you.
