Blood Bound - Chapter 92

>>Yohan

I placed my hand on her cheek while hers was already on mine.

In the quiet night where you could hear the far away sounds of cars passing by, where the world slept innocently, unaware that someone was hurting so much because of fate, the two people in love, broken and scarred, brought their lips closer together and joined them in a soft, meaningful final kiss.

I felt her smile between the kiss and I smiled back. Then her hand slipped and fell by her side as we parted our lips

That was the last of her touch I felt before she was gone.

She had left me now and the immense amount of pain I was feeling could no longer be contained.

And now that she had finally left me, I no longer had to keep myself from crying, I no longer had to put in all of my strength to keep myself at bay.

I placed my hand on her cheek again and then saw droplets of water falling on her face.

Drops that came from my eyes. Tears, I could no longer hold in. Everything inside of me had shattered. Just like a fragile glass falling on a hard concrete ground and smashing into a million pieces.

Pieces that will never be joined together.

My heart had been broken like nothing else. It was shattered and drained, weary and hurtful. In pain and in agony.

It felt as if all the crucification had fallen upon it.

“Maya.” I called out the name of my love but got no reply from her. I was never going to get another word from her.

She was gone.

Gone? The word felt like a dagger. One that was constantly stabbing my heart.

My breathing was shaky and my heart beat was slow,

Tears continued to roll down my cheeks and I made no attempt to stop this.

I cried and I cried like a baby. I cried like there was no end, like there was no tomorrow. I cried out loud, pouring all of my feeling into the liquid that fell out of my eyes, I cried.

I cried so much, so much, it felt like I might not have any tears left to cry ever anymore.

Time passed.

I returned to my daily routine and stayed with Ruda to teach him stuff till he was ready. It took some time, but it was worth it.

Ruda graduated and took his position as the next Alpha in four years.

He learned fast and was more than ready when he took my place. Things were hard for both of us but we managed and eventually settled down.

For Ruda, the best thing that happened to him was that he found his mate in the most unexpected way. She was an employee at the company.

The moment he looked at her his jaw dropped and his gaze followed her everywhere.

I don’t know if that employee noticed him but everyone else at the company knows how lovestruck he was.

I laughed.

Still, it puts me at ease to know his mate is a competent person.

I’m no longer hesitant about leaving.

Over the years I emptied the house because I knew I was eventually going to leave. I was needed elsewhere.

After Ruda settled in his position we parted ways on good, friendly and brotherly terms.

I leisurely walked out of the house that was now pretty much empty. If Ruda wanted to use it for something he could, I was leaving it to him.

I took my time and walked to the forest, slowly, bidding goodbye to all I knew in this world.

With each step I took I remembered the countless memories I made and the fact made me smile that there were many I cherished.

When I reached the oak tree I took a deep breath and moved my hands to my ear to take off the earring I had worn all my life.

I had grown weirdly attached to it ,but now, it was time to let it go.

As I took it off I felt something inside me waken. A new and boundless presence that gave me goosebumps all over my body. The trees around me rustled as if acknowledging my presence.

I held the earring in front of me and smiled

This was it.

I dropped it and it crumbled away before hitting the ground.

This was my final moment as a person in the human world.

My heart felt a bit heavy for leaving all that I had ever known but what awaited me was my duty and surely someday what I want also waited for me.

The mist seeped out of the ground and the portal opened up.

I could see all the creatures there in the magic realm looking at me wide eyed.

They were there anticipating and expecting but most of all, they were waiting.

Waiting for me.

Waiting for their king.

It was an overwhelming feeling but I smiled and walked in.

***

Mystical beings chirped, they sang in their beautiful voices as morning came. The nights were illuminated by the lamp flowers and the hymns of the forest.

Days passed on and became weeks.

Weeks passed by and became months.

Months ran by to become years.

But no matter how much time passes.

I’ll be here.

My mate, my eternal love: I will wait for you

Volume one: End
