Her final farewell book 5 of the werewolf mafia seriers

Chapter 26

. Mercury’s P.O.V

I shut the door behind me and flopped down on my bed with my head in my hands. I was trying so hard to help everyone and keep everything together, but without Cheyenne I honestly didn’t know what to do. The only thing that I could do now and it would keep everyone alive and safe was to become the man I once was. The hardest and meanest of them all. I had been angry for so long and I knew exactly why I was angry and who I was angry with. Cheyenne. I was angry at her for leaving me when she didn’t have to go.

“You could have lived and we could have found some way to keep me alive, but no, you had to leave me alone. You left me alone with nothing and I have no idea how to start over again, Cheyenne.” I said to myself, feeling angry, annoyed and downright pissed off. Suddenly a small light appeared and then I saw her. Cheyenne. I jumped up from the bed and ran over to her.

“Baby, you came back. You came back to me.” I said, but Cheyenne held her hand up to me.

“I only have a few minutes as the Moon Goddess could only grant me this much time, so come on, let's sit down and talk.” Cheyenne said, leading me back over to the bed and sitting down on the edge.

“Mercury, I know that this is hard on you and I know that you’re angry with me, but one day you will forgive me and then go on with your life. You will find your second chance mate and you will love her like no other, not even as you loved me. I’ll always be here, Mercury.” Cheyenne said, but I felt myself getting angry at the thought of that.

“It's not the same, damn it. You left me here not knowing what to do and it's not so easy right now.” I replied, but she just slapped me upside the head, reminding me about how we used to be together and how she used to bring me back in line.

“I know it's not, but you have to get up and be the man I know you are. Oh and by the way stop being so hard on Isaiah, he’s only doing what you would do to keep me safe. He’s doing everything right, so bear with him because he’s still learning. I know that you’re mad at me, but please don’t be mad at me forever.” Cheyenne said and I started to chuckle. Goddess I missed this woman.

“You know I can never stay mad at you for too long.” I replied and she softly smiled at me.

“I have to go, my love, I’m being called back, but you need to visit our daughter Selena. She has her hands full right now and you need to make sure that she is alright.” Cheyenne said, softly kissing my lips.

“I’ll always love you, Mercury.” Cheyenne said, kissing my eyes and then my cheeks. I reached out for her, but I couldn’t feel her and when I opened my eyes she was gone. I sat further up the bed with tears in my eyes and thought about everything she had said, but ehr smell was still here and although it soothed me, I ended up crying myself to sleep.

Cheyenne’s P.O.V

I knew that Mercury had been having a hard time without me, but he needed to focus on living his life instead of me being gone from his side. When I got back up to the Moon Goddess she was standing there waiting for me. I had expected the Moon Goddess to be my mother when I got up here as she was before, but I was wrong as there are many Moon Goddesses and they are all from different points in time.

“Is that alright?” I asked, but it was hard for me to speak without crying. I had missed him so much, but I knew that I had to let him go because if I didn’t then he would keep falling and he wouldn’t know how to get back up.

“Moon Goddess, you need to shut the window so I am unable to watch him anymore. If I don’t let him go then he won’t let me go and he will never be happy.” I said and the Moon Goddess smiled at me. There was something so familiar and calming about how she looked and smiled, but I had no idea what it was.

“My child, you have passed the biggest test of them all by being selfless and you now have a choice to make. You may now go forward and have your peace or you can become like me, a Moon Goddess, being there when needed or helping them to find their mates.” The Moon Goddess said and I didn’t need to think about it even for a second.

“Moon Goddess, if I stay here I will always want to be around them and I know that I can’t do that, so it's time for me to go.” I replied and the Moon Goddess nodded.

“Then you shall go, close your eyes, my child and you will be at peace.” The Moon Goddess said and I did just that, letting peace and tranquility wash over me.

The Moon Goddess’s P.O.V

I watched as Cheyenne disappeared into the ether, finally resting and being at peace. It was definitely one for the records, I thought as I sighed. Others would want to stay and watch over their loved ones, but in the end their mates would never get over them and would end up mourning them to death. I have seen many die just a matter of weeks after their mate has passed, but Cheyenne was different and she proved that tonight. This was going to be hard for Mercury, but he will go on and he will have his second chance at happiness, but she will have her hands full with him. I looked through the window and watched as Mercury cried himself to sleep, like he had done many nights since Cheyenne’s passing.

“It's time.” I whispered, sighing and shaking my head as I wiped the tears from his face. I will have to think about how to set him up with his second chance mate.
