She came into abhaile all dressed in emerald green, her chocolate curls pilled high on her head as her creamy skin glisened in the candle light. Her husband Dagda sat at the head of the table, she kept her head down even if she reighed at his side. Doubt filling her with each step she made to the bejeweled chair that awaited her. Feeling eyes on her, she didn't look up she was trying to ignore the newest round of jokes that filled the air. He only warmed her bed on the nights that suited him, growning tired of her to easily. Her only joy the two children she had brought into this world when he still held her as one cherished not just a trophy. She was the nightmare queen, the mortals feared her and held her in high regard. Not the one that should though.
Dagda had added a guard to the ranks as of the past few weeks. Derek a young were that he had rescued stood at his right side guarding him. He had already bested all of Dagda's best warriors and stood with great pride at Dadga's side. He had heard the god's poor talk of the wife other than her beauty, but even then others the god had said were more beautiful. He saw her enter and his desire for the woman stirred. Not yet knowing who everyone was he had to stand behind Dagda. She went to take the seat beside the god he served just in front of him.
Still feeling the eyes on her this time from behind. She turned to see him looking at her. She felt it the moment they looked at each other, something deeper and beyond anything she had felt. She felt the pull of Anam Charaid, not knowing if he felt it to and bound to Dagda she faced forward. Dagda looking at her as if she was crazy. Putting her hand on his he pulled away from his wife. Hurt flooding her at his rebuff she hung her head and waited threw the dinner. Dagda had long stopped loving her.
Dagda sincing the changing had touched her hand keeping anyone else from claiming her in their presence. Morrigan didn't even realize when it happened, but she couldn't keep her eyes off the young were. She wouldn't betray her vows to her husband the way he had betrayed her though. Taking an early leave her heart begging her to stay.
{Centuries later}
Her great love Dagha had passed that morn. She had spent the day weeping in her chamber, the mistresses be damned. She didn't love him as she once had but she did still harbor feelings that ran deep. She had to pull herself together for the pantheon. Derek made his way up to check on me once again. Their bond had grown over the years, never doing anything more than a friendly embrace or chase kiss on the cheek. Derek and Morrigan had grown into deep friends and closer than most anyone knew. She could confide in him when Dagda had hurt her over the years. He had saw the hurt he couldn't bear to tell the goddess. Going to her holding her this way, the way they had never given into. Her tiny body against him wracked with sobs, this wasn't the goddess he knew to lead armies. Holding and conforting her til she stopped crying, soft words came from him to confort her. Finally she looked up at him ready to be kissed, her vows now gone as he was gone.
What a simple kiss, but how it turned their worlds on their heads. No longer content to be friends, the pair let the anam charaid take it's hold on them. Still no mating mark for them no matter how they longed to be together. His touch perfectly honed to her, her body a perfect sheath for him. They should have been mates no matter how hard she tried to make it happen. Of all the people to love her he did the deepest.

Centuries spent together and never mated. Morrigan had decided she had to let him go find his mate. The pain it cause ripped her soul in half, no one could know what she was doing or why. Picking a fight she knew they had been over time and time again, she let him leave. She had no right to hold him when she wasn't his mate, no matter how his feeling for her were and hers for him. She didn't even know Dagda had prevented it so very very long ago. Going their seperate ways, neither happy about leaving the other but it must be done she thought. For him so maybe he can find his mate.
{ Modern day}
Pregnant with Jaden's second child, the pregnancy hard like before she had called him for help. He came running as he always did when she needed him. Wanting to be more than her assistant, but respecting her vows. He went back to the dear friend she knew and loved when Dagda was around. Seeing how hurt she was when Jaden was pulled away how helpless she felt. He could only sit back and watch doing as she asked as the son was brought into the world. So much like her, he took pride in helping her with the care of the new one. Only a few months passing after her son was born, Jaden's soulmate came to claim him. He was there to hold her again her pain taking her so much harder this time. She had to bath in a cleanzing water washing away her heart ache, and every man's touch including Dagda's. Now his curse removed the lovers could now move on become mates. Where life takes them is their choice who will dare hold The Morrigan back, and should anyone try Derek would be there to stop them. Anam Charaid, soul mates, mates....
