Selene watched the life leave his body

Selene watched the life leave his body. He didn't even cry out in pain in his final moments, he just clutched what could have been his life in his hand ... Selene. Raven just backed away slowly leaving them alone.

"You can't leave me!" Selene screamed, tears streaking her face. "I will never cry again." she wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. "I...I... I love you."

Donovan opened his eyes; the world was going you of focus. "I know," he choked out. "I know... I...Lo..."

The wolf's body shuddered, and he exhaled his final breath. His body was still.

An earsplitting scream went up through the forest. So much emotion had been poured into that one final moment that the whole forest seemed to freeze. Selene turned back into her human form. She screamed until her throat bled, and Raven came running. He found her crouching over Donovan's body rocking back and fourth slightly.

"Oookay... time to go home." he said hauling Selene to her feet. "We don't need to create a scene."

"Put. Me. Down." she growled. The venom in her voice would have struck fear into the heart of the world. "I will NOT leave him here. I will stay here with him tonight. Selene died with him."

Backing away slowly, Raven turned and fled home.
