Alpha Blake novel Chapter 69

　　Blake sits on his usual seat at his dinner table. His head hangs low and his hands are pursed together on top of the table. Tears keep rolling down his eyes. 

　　It's been almost a week since she died, and nothing has been the same for anyone in their pack. Especially for Blake. His body went through the agony of their bond breaking, but though his body was in pain, it didn't surpass the pain his heart felt to know she was gone. He hated to admit she was no longer here, and every time someone told him maybe there's a chance for him to find a second chance mate, he'd go crazy. Outraged and furious at the sound of those words.

　　The whole pack felt the sorrow of her loss. Everyone mourned in their own way. 

　　Blake was no exception. He's been locked in his room and only comes out at night to sit at his usual seat at the dinner table where he'd have dinner with her.

　　He clenches his jaw. His heart filled not only with sorrow and pain, but with anger and resentment towards everyone. 

　　He stands slowly, walking towards outside. Everyone in the packhouse dares not to question him. Rather, they hang their heads as well and let their tears fall down as they see their Alpha gone and realize that their Luna is gone.

　　Maybe a bit of fresh air could do him good. 

　　He walks past the kitchen and the living room. Harou and Damian sit next to Tyler as they drink coffee and talk. Catching up and putting their differences aside.

　　Yes, though it had never been spoken of vampires, Lycans, and werewolves living together; they weren't just normal creatures.  . . But the perfect trio of friends who had one day made a pact to protect and take care of each other. 

　　**********

　　Selene lays on a bed of soft ferns. She softly raises her head and realizes she is laying in the midst of what looks like an enchanted world. 

　　Slowly, she stands to her feet. She no longer wears her combat gear, but a beautiful white strapless gown and a flower crown around her head.

　　She steps softly, the ground feels feather like and a warm feeling engulfs her. She feels peaceful and pleasant.

　　"Hello!" Her voice echoes through the air. Quickly, a few butterflies emerge from thin air, circling around her. Their appearance seems almost something out of a movie, beautiful, and surreal. Giving them a see-through appearance with glitter and light.

　　"Hello! Anyone here?" She walks a few steps more until a gush of wind startles her, making her stop on her tracks and making her turn quickly towards the direction of the wind. 

　　Two beautiful women stand before her with their skin fair and beautiful, glowing, almost as if they were made of light. 

　　She looks at both Artemis and goddess Selene as they stand before them. "My dear Elena! You're here! I can't believe you're here! After thousands of years!? Finally, you're here." Artemis launches over her, hugging her tight and kissing her on her forehead and cheeks.

　　"Artie! Let her breath!" Goddess Selene giggles and places her hand on Artemis's shoulder.

　　Goddess Selene grabs Selene's hands and slowly pulls her close. She hugs her and cups her cheeks with her palms.

　　"Good to finally see you back with us my darling." She smiles at her. But Selene's eyes fill with tears and a great sadness fills her heart.

　　"I know I should be happy. I remember everything now, everything, from the time I was here, to the day Carrie took us to earth. Each time we were reborn. But-" 

　　Artemis's eyes turn from a joyful melody from her final reunion with one of her twins to a similar resemblance of melancholy and sadness like Selene's. 

　　"But you miss Alarick. I know!"

　　"It's Blake now. And I'm no longer Elena. My name is-" 

　　"Selene." The three say in unison, making all three giggle awkwardly. 

　　"I know I should be happy that I'm here with you, I hoped for so long to come back with you mom! But you have no idea how much I love that man. I just wish I could go back and be with him, just one last time, or at least to say goodbye. My heart aches, I feel like I lost everything. You have no idea how much I love him, mom." Her eyes fill with tears, her voice breaks to the feel of torment inside her.

　　She turns to Selene, aware she is the one that sets each wolf with their perfectly matched mate. "Please! I'm begging you! I know he's probably going through a lot of physical pain right now because I'm gone. I'm just I am begging you to let him find a good mate soon. I want him to find true love again. To be happy, and form a family. I-"

　　She hangs her head low, closing her eyes and gulping hard as she forces the knot building in her throat to disperse. 

　　"Even if it's not with me. I need to see him smile again. I need to know he's happy with someone who truly loves him."

　　Selene takes her chin in her hand, lifting it with her fingers. "Are you sure that's what you want sweetheart?"

　　Artemis widens her eyes. But she knows far too well that if she was in her shoes, she'd do the same. 

　　A few laughers are heard nearby, making Selene avert her gaze towards the laughers.

　　A small girl is heard giggling with her mom as they play with a few mystical creatures.
