“We’re still in the Dark Forest. The Fae you met, the one who saved you from the darkclaws, is Azran, also known as the Red Fury or the High Lord of the Fae.”
“I’m hiding a monster, too. Everyone is. That’s why I hold on to the light as much as possible. Everyone has darkness inside them, Ela. It’s what the world does to us. Just don’t let it take over, because that’s not who you are.”
Insignificant fools who dared to come after her, trying to take what’s mine.
Goddess of war and death, whose smile can light up a room.
“I’ve been waiting for you for so long...” I can’t control my thoughts anymore. “To mold me into your perfect warrior and to fulfill your damned prophecy? To use me for more bloodshed because I, too, am a savage?” Her rage returns instantly, revealing the depth of her distrust in me. “No...” I growl deeply as I grab her by the neck and push her back against the wall. Her breath catches in her throat, and she swallows hard, her chest heaving. The scent of her arousal overwhelms me. “I’ve been waiting for you, and you only.”
“I hear it can be repaired.” I shake my head. “You don’t get it. I felt it snap.”
“My hand makes a much prettier necklace.”
Anger is the only voice my grief has ever had.
“If I had to do it all again, I would. Bearing the burden of my power is a small price to pay to be put on your path. And living in a world where you exist will always be worth it, even if one moment with you is all I ever get.”
“I love you, Ela. More than I could ever put into words. I adore you. All of you.”
“You are my mate, little one. There will never be anyone else.” He’s looking at me with pure adoration in his eyes. “I promise to show you how much I love you until you can trust me. I’d walk through the gates of Hell and relive the horrors of a thousand lives to find you because you are mine, as I am yours, and I will never give up on you. It’s never been about the prophecy.”
Even when the world has turned to ashes, I will love you, little one. I vowed to protect you and fight for you. And my vow is fulfilled. To whatever end.
