Xena
I wake up at the palace again. This feels like a Déjà vu. West is here giving me that strained smile again. He looked exactly like this the last time too.
Xaden is gone. Tears well up in my eyes at the loss and emptiness I feel. My son is gone because I decided to be some hero. I had the opportunity to leave after the full moon, yet I stayed. How the hell did I think I could fight against an evil force?
I was naïve and overestimated my abilities. Now Xaden is gone. I will never see his chubby cheeks again. I will never see his sparkling eyes. I will never hear his melodic laughter. I will never feel his warm hugs. I will never see him grow. He never got to grow old, meet his wolf, and his mate, and have his own pups.
I try to blink back, an attempt to prevent my tears from fall
