He had taken Myrddin to visit Auntie Rosie, so he could have some time to himself. Sky had left him. And not only had she left him, but she had left Myrddin to tell him that his mother had left. She had taken Cody and Lena, leaving him a single father of a male child again. He didn't know what he had done wrong, her message hadn't been that specific. He felt morose and inept. He hadn't gone into her study, afraid of what he would find. In the back of his mind, he found himself remembering their fight right after Tameri's death. Had she left him for Sanja? Had she left him for another male?
What had he done so wrong that she didn't want to be with him? He walked into the house they had shared. For a moment, he stood there, breathing in her scent, the scent of Fella and Cody and Lena. Anguish gripped his heart and he fell to his knees. Sheba, the calico who had adopted him on the day of his offspring's birth, nudged his knee, meowing softly. His breath hitched and he lifted the feline up, burying his face in her fur. How could Sky have left?
After what seemed like ages, he set the purring feline down. He made his way to the room they shared. Her things were gone, even her locked chest. His chest hitched and he turned around, making his way to the porch, away from the now cloying scent of his torn apart family. He took deep breaths, then seized the first of the red skulls, flinging it as far away from him as he could. Each skull shared the same fate. He had told her he would never mate with another woman and he meant it. Even after she tore his heart out, he meant it. He would not mate with another woman. She would be the only mate he ever had. He wasn't his parents, even if she wanted to walk away from him.
He stared at the bone shards, his bi-colored eyes awash in emotion. He had sung her Irish songs, sweet songs of love. Everyone of those songs had a sad ending. He had cursed himself to live a sad lonely life, and his son Myrddin to a life without a mother.
