My whole heart.

She would never love like that after. Never again let someone hold a candle to him. Not like she has done with Lev, despite fate's choice even if she loved him for such. He cannot compare to her love. She knows this and weeps for this. Blinded by what fate has chosen, when what she wanted was already standing there. She defied the great mother. Told her no more would she feel that desire for another. She is only his to hold, her star unto the sun. May the burn forever in the light of their life. Forever together in her mind as she could wish for nothing more. Never again leave his side, for she can no longer survive without her heart, but she will not take it back. She gave it to him no long after meeting him. She knew then she had decided her own fate it had just taken sometime to see it.

She can hear another join in her pleas to mother moon. Another sad broken soul, speaking of life, love, and children. The melody strokes her heart, pulling tight on it's seams. She feels sorry for the loss he endured as their songs match and couple among the sky. She wants to comfort him, tell him everything will be ok. Hold him through the pain. Give him peace, forgive him of such tragedy. But it is when the song draws closer does her's finally break, as she found herself waiting. For he comes to her? But why? She hopes he has not come to comfort her, she will not have it. She will let another male touch this heart that she had given away. As her body trembles.

Just go away.

Let me mourn my love and you yours. I want no more of this. She can hear his quick approach but she does not look to him. A scent plays in her head as she pushes it away. She smells him. As he were here, with her always. It almost shatters her delicate body. Perhaps it is to comfort her from this stranger. To make her feel safe. As old bones relax for a moment. And in that moment, her heart stopped as words but break her very soul.

"Siegos?..."

So much love in that name as it spills from her lips which now are stained by salty tears. Head slowly turns as if afraid this but a lie. Or is it a dream? No, there before her in all his red glory is her soul mate. The man that would forever have her heart to keep. It cannot be. He is here. That was him singing with her lullaby, her heart flutters as life pours from it. Suffocates it in warmth and longing. As her body cannot work fast enough. She goes to him, throws her head upon his chest as she heaves his scent into her lungs. She can feel his heart matching her's as finally they are united as one once more. Together forever, until my last breath and more my burning sun. I am yours.

"My burning sun... she pauses as her chest shudders, "I have missed your light in my life. You are my soul and heart and they but only need you." Her soft words crumbling with tears and breath into his fur. And she cannot stop herself. Her muzzle greedily attempts to feel everything of him. As if to reassure herself he is here. That she can be whole again. Her heart breaks all over as he fills in that gap. Mending it and holding it. Her own breath catches every few seconds. Tongue now escapes as she kisses his jaw, At first it needy as if she trying to make up for such lost time. But soon does it slow. As the last one but lingers as if to sink in her undying love. "Always and forever my sun, will you set my heart a fire." And with that she falls silent, left to hold and caress this man she thought gone. Never again will she let go.

She is his to keep.
