Chapter 68- Sad Love
CJ
3 days have passed since I lost Lexy. 3 days taking care of our babies and talking to them about her. 3 days while Helio prepared their traditions to bury her properly. I go to see her every day. Every day I beg her and the moon goddess for her return.
Tomorrow will be the day of her burial. I still can’t think about it or wrap my head around not having her. In Helio’s culture they don’t bury the great ones, they place them on their hidden sacred grounds and after 7 days they burn her to be returned to the Great Phoenix. Helio explained it to me because I wouldn’t let anyone touch her or move her.
After I spent time with the kids and put them to bed with the help of our moms, I decided to go to the room where we were keeping her body secured. I sat holding her hand just thinking. “I’m sorry muñeca. It should have never ended like this. I love you so much. We love you ladies so much” I was tearing up while I talked to her.
“Why did you have to take her moon goddess? Why take her from our kids and me? Please moon goddess, return her to me. Please” I prayed to our moon goddess. I knew there was nothing that could take back time, but I still can’t believe she’s not here anymore. As I finished my prayer Helio walked in. “I’m sorry son. I’ll come back later” he said apologetic.
“It’s fine pops. I just finished. How’s Xiomara been holding up?” I replied. “When she’s not with the grandkids, she breaks down and refuses to eat sometimes. But don’t you worry about anyone right now. Just concentrate on your kids and your grieving” Helio said sincerely. I nodded and thanked him. I decided to take a walk before getting back to my pups. I feel like I’m suffocating with how high my emotions have been.
My walk turned into letting Xazul free. He needed to let out some of the rage he’s built since that day. While running he chose to hunt but before I saw what he hunted it was dead already. He fucking took down a bear with one bite. He literally broke right through the neck almost decapitating it. He enjoyed his bear meat and then went to the waterfalls to get cleaned up.
I knew he was thinking about Lei while staring into the water. They had their fun hunting, and she threatened to hurt him if he didn’t stop whatever he was doing or saying while they were pregnant. She was more verbally violent while Lexy was more physically. I did love when she was feisty because then she would come back feeling sorry and looking for me to give her love. If she knew I would start things to take her there she would kill me where I stand.
Xazul
Staring into the water reminds me so much of her, of them. I just wanted to die with her, but I knew she would kick my ass for being dumb. Also, our pups need me more than ever and I would never do that to them. I couldn’t hold it in anymore and let out a curl wrenching howl. I cried while I howled to the moon, to the moon goddess and to Lei and Lexy. I hope it gets to them and Lei could feel my love, so they both could feel our love for them.
Cecel
“WHAT THE HELL? How could they defeat us like that?” I yelled at the surviving soldiers. I couldn’t understand how or what happened. Helio had disappeared from battle which gave us an advantage. But when he returned he was a whole other animal. He was a beast the way he went through my troops.
I ended up calling a retreat to whoever survived his attack. In the time I knew him I had never seen this side of him. I knew his fighting style, but he was an animal. I can’t reel it through my head that he’s stronger than me. This is not the end, and I will get what I want.
It has been 3 days since the battle, and I still have rage. Nobody has been able to get near me. I killed 1 of my man and 1 of my servants. I can’t lose any more people after that day. I’m waiting to hear news from my scout. She let me know she would be back tomorrow.

It was the next day, and I woke up to the sounds of my pups already crying for breakfast and diaper change. I didn’t even know what time it was when they woke me up, but by the time I was done with them our moms showed up and took over lunch was being served. The whole pack was being fed here until the borders and the couple of houses got reconstructed and reenforced.
I joined everyone for lunch before the ceremony began. Our moms were going to bring the triplets once the ceremony began, but I was against them coming. They weren’t safe until Cecel is dead and Helio agreed with me. Our moms would take turns staying with the triplets along with 3 guards. I made my way to Helio’s office to see him coming out of it. “Morning pops” I greet him. “Morning son” I heard 2 voices say at the same time. I looked behind Helio and he was with my dad.
I’ve been so out of it and haven’t given my dad time. I noticed he could tell I was thinking and just came to me and hugged me. I completely broke in his arms. Dad waved to Helio to join us, and they both embraced me while I fell apart. At this moment I realized that I wasn’t alone in this. After a moment like this we got back to what we needed to do today.
Her body was dressed and set on the burial box. As she was carried by Helio, dad, me, and 3 more warriors down the path that takes us to the sacred grounds inside the waterfall. While on the walk they sang a beautiful song in Greek. I didn’t understand it, but I knew it would put a smile on her face. We made it in, placed the box close to the center, and I picked her body and placed her in the center of the ground. After placing her Helio began to chant something and then blessed her soul with the elders joining him. My place was with her in the center.
After an hour of the ceremony and everyone saying their goodbyes, I stayed with her. I didn’t realize I cried myself to sleep next to her when I woke up feeling like I was burning. As I open my eyes I see Lexy’s body glowing.
