Goddess

Allison POV

It's been two days since my sweet baby passed away. I've locked myself in my room, unable to face the world. I feel like an empty shell, my entire heart scraped from my body the moment she passed away. It feels wrong to eat or sleep, it feels wrong to live without her in my arms. Today is supposed to be her funeral. Everyone has tried numerous times to get me out of bed, but it is like I am glued here, stuck in the wave of endless sadness. I know that my feelings are affecting Damon and Raidon through the bond. It would be selfish of me not to end the bond to save them from my pain dragging them down. I was lost in my thoughts when I overheard people talking at the funeral. It took every ounce of strength to look out my window. I pulled the curtain to the side, it truly was a beautiful service, small but absolutely perfect, placed right under my oak tree.

A stray tear rolled down my cheek. A mother should never have to witness her child's funeral, they are supposed to outlive us, live full and beautiful lives.

I watched on as an idea suddenly struck me. The moon goddess gifts things for something in return. Will she gift my baby life in exchange for me? It was a long shot but I knew that it was my last hope that my child could live. I knew that grandma, Damon and Raidon would love her with the entirety of their hearts.

I ran out of my room and started searching the house for a gun with silver bullets. I went to grandma's room. Something drew me there. I followed this feeling until I looked under the bed and saw a small brown box. I lifted it onto the bed and saw a beautifully engraved pistol, a dragon stretched up the barrel of one side. Its mouth opened at the barrel as if the bullets coming out were to be its fire. I found three silver bullets next to it and loaded each one as they burned my fingers.

I took the gun back to my room. I needed to change out of these bloody clothes and hug my loved ones one last time.

I put on a long black flowing dress and I found a belt that held the gun in place under my dress. I wanted to take my last breath next to my daughter.

I proceeded to walk down the stairs, trying my hardest to hold myself together. I went out the front door and began making my way towards the oak tree. I could hear every word that Damon spoke, and it shattered my heart to hear he blamed himself for her death. He knelt by the coffin, holding it as if his life depended on it. I couldn't help the tears that began flowing, not only from his words, but because of what I planned to do. I hugged him with everything I had, knowing it would be our last hug. I made sure he knew her death wasn't his fault. I gave Raidon the same bone crushing hug, knowing it would also be our last one. I would miss my mates, but I would do anything for my baby-girl, even if that means giving my own life for hers. I made sure each and everyone of them knew just how much I loved them. I listened quietly as everyone else said their good-byes to Aspen-Eve. I didn't want anyone to witness what I planned to do, so I asked for privacy to speak with my daughter, which they all granted.

As soon as I heard the door to the packhouse close, I knew that I was alone with her. I sat next to her coffin as I pulled out the gun that was hidden under my dress and held it in my hands.

"I love you so much babygirl. I hope you never forget my love for you." I heard grandma yelling in the packhouse. I knew that it was now or never now that she knew her gun was gone. Without a second thought, I placed the gun to my head, cocked it and pulled the trigger.



I woke up in a soft field of white flowers. I am now wearing a white dress. I got up to look at my surroundings. That is when I saw her in the distance. A small bundle in the grass, pitch black hair. Perfectly wrapped in a little white blanket. I ran as fast as my legs could take me, I dropped to my knees and picked her up, holding her tightly against me, as tightly as I could without hurting her,"Oh my baby, my sweet little baby. Mommy loves you more than anything, Aspen-Eve." I sobbed as I held her.

She wiggled in my arms and I was met with electric blue eyes. She was perfect. Absolutely perfect, and she was alive. I didn't know how long I had here with her so I planted kisses all over her face, my tears dripping onto her.

"I'm glad you got to have this moment with her, Allison. You deserve it more than anyone."

I whipped around, holding Aspen-Eve close to me, but quickly loosened my grip when I realized who was speaking to me.

"Hello Selene, I'm so sorry that I cannot fulfill the duties you require of me. I don't see the purpose of life without her in it." I teared up, unable to control my sadness, realizing I would most likely be separated from my baby girl soon.

"It's okay child, you see your sacrifice was incredibly brave, and I know that I am asking a lot from you. So I have a gift for you, one that will come at a cost. You and your baby can return to your world together." Selene said as she knelt next to us and stroked Aspen-Eve's hair.

"What is the cost, Selene?" I asked, worried about what it might be.

"You will be unable to produce any more children."

"I'll do it. Anything for my baby girl."

She simply nodded and placed a hand on my head.

I felt a rush as I was pushed back to earth. I gasped for air, the only words I could choke out were,"The coffin, get her out of the coffin."

I could hear people moving around and the coffin lid opening, followed by tiny cries.

"It's a miracle." I heard someone say, knowing that my baby was now safe, I let sleep take me away.
