valzella: the weird werewolf i made an imprint on.
** few hours later ***
The night dragged on and the mansion was in a still sad soul crushing mood, the atmosphere was heavy, the sad passing of valzella stung in the air. Her body was ready to be moved to the morgue.
"Mrs adolpha, it's time." Lupus announced referring to the transfer of valzella's body to the morgue, he spoke in a cracked voice, his throat was dry and sore from howling loud in the wind (he'd changed into his wolf, ran deep into the forest to let out his grief).
Mrs adolpha sniffled, her eyes reddened and swollen from excessive prolonged crying, mrs adolpha loved valzella like her own child, how couldn't she? She raised the pup from infancy, valzella was a very special werewolf and was dear to her, how could she have let her die like that?
She felt guilty and would blame herself for her death the rest of her werewolf days. She turned to lupus without saying a word, they both walked to the room where valzella body laid.
Mrs adolpha wept as she drew closer to the table where she laid, she fell into deep weeping, she wept for a while on valzella's body.
"You can't leave us like this!" Mrs adolpha said, still crying her heart out, it pained her to see valzella laying lifeless on the table like that. She turned to lupus and said, "say your goodbyes cause i can't. I won't." She said with a final note in an agony filled tone and barged out of the room.
Lupus sighed as he returned his attention back to valzella on the table, he stared at her cold lifeless white face for a while then said.
"You heard elder adolpha, you can't just leave like that, not like this weak link, you didn't survive the fire to be taken out by a silver moon." He spoke to her like she was listening. "Most especially cause i love you and have a lot making up to do with you, you see i finally had a hearing from theodulf about few tricks to get me on your good side, i had planned to lure, seduce and make you mine forever, what do you say to that?" He sighed as tears trickled down his face to her hand. "You would have slapped or bite me if you could here me, wouldn't you?" He smiled then burst into tears. "COME ON VAL I HAVE AN IMPRINT TO DO!" He yelled in agony then paused and looked at her. "That's right, i have an imprint to do, i need to make my imprint on your soul. I'll be back!" He rushed out of the room into one of the rooms where mrs adolpha sat in deep thoughts.
"I'm ready for the imprint!" He announced panting.
"What?!" Mrs adolpha jumped back to reality.
"I'm ready to make an imprint, i accept her as my mate and would love to join souls with her." He said slowly so he wouldn't mince words and so that mrs adolpha would hear everything he said.
"What?!" Mrs adolpha said but this time not in shock but in surprise of what she just heard.
She stood up and walked to him, placed a hand on his shoulder looking him in the eyes then said "Son, she's gone." She squeezed her face trying to swallow the pain that accompanied those words. "You can't, you shouldn't make an imprint on her soul anymore."
"But she's my destined mate." He said in protest.
"Honey you are free to pick another mate." She said.
"The gods matched us." He said.
"I'm afraid they might have been wrong or maybe i didn't hear them correctly, there are thousands to pick as a mate now son, don't trap your soul forever." She tried to talk him out of his decision cause she knows the implications of imprinting on a dead soul.
"But, i want to, really." He insisted.
"Son listen to me! She's, she's...." She paused for a second, she struggled to say the words she wanted to "She's dead. If you make an imprint now, you'll be trapped with her forever, you won't be able to pick another mate. Do you wish to be mateless for the rest of your life? Remember our kind lives on for centuries, that's too much of a long time to stay mateless." She said searching his face but the boy would not be convinced otherwise, he stood his grounds.
