All life comes to an end.

A sentence well ingrained—gifted to him at birth to hold and ponder endlessly throughout his years. He had passed it on to his children and Valette hers, and now sitting deep within the cave they both called home Greyback sought to consort himself with it once more. 

Listening to the sounds of his mates labored breathing, Greyback stared at her with such love and admiration.

His love, his heart, his Valette.

He knew he would have to depart her soon. It was a fact as old as time, something he knew shortly after their consummation and one that had not left. It had burrowed deeper, settling within his brain to remind him at every glance he got of her, every scent trail left, every sound. And as he would usually meet such sensations with love and comfort it was only now for the first time—Greyback had met it with fear. 

He could not sleep that night. Could not move. 
He stayed awake, staring at Valette, watching over her for as long as he could whilst feeling the aches and pains of age settle deeper within him.

"I will not go." He murmured.
