A Soul to Guide (Duskwalker Brides, #4)

by Opal Reyne

They never ate meat, so fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes were essential.

Vegan ftw! Lol

“You got a name?” he asked as they waited. “It would be impolite if I just called you woman along the way.” “Raewyn, but my friends call me Rae. You?” “Call me Merc, since I don’t particularly like it when people call me big fucker like you heard the other day.”

Did he just call me an idiot? She didn’t have any weapons! I guess he is my weapon, though. Go forth, meat shield.

“What...” Her heart was nearly in her throat as she yelled, “What are you?!” The low, quiet laughter that echoed from him was dark, and almost cruel. “Now, why did you have to go and do that?”

“Don’t you dare run,” he warned. Of course, Raewyn ran.

She was the most beautiful thing he’d ever seen, and he’d seen almost everything in his long life.

He’d once taught someone how to make these so she could show another of his kind how to, but he reflected very little on that fact whenever he used them.

“Please. He’s my guide in this world,”

It makes no difference to me whether or not you can see, or why you cannot,” he answered plainly.

“You look pretty with my cock in your mouth. I don’t want you to take it away.”

He’d been seeking his own little light, a star to shine in the shroud of darkness and endless void of his life. I want her.

He thought he could handle being anywhere, in any world, so long as she was there to brighten it for him.

I’ve never wanted anything as much as I want her to be mine. His own piece of starlight.

“You are mine, my pretty starshine,” he growled, his sight turning bright pink. “I won’t let anyone take you away from me.”

“I won’t. I thought I would be content as long as I left Earth, but I realised what I was searching for was something to bring me peace and happiness by brightening my world. I have sat in the pitch black for most of my life, my bright starshine, and you chased it away with your strange playfulness, your laughter, your tears, your kindness towards a creature everyone else had scorned.”

“You have scored my heart, Raewyn. I never dreamt of having a bride because I didn’t think it was possible, but in your light, in your unconditional acceptance, you made me believe.”

*bawling* My heart!!

“I want you to be my beacon on the days the darkness wishes to take hold of me again.”

“I have been waiting for over three hundred years for you.” Merikh licked across her cheek to erase the stain of her tears. “If you truly meant what you said, if you have really found it within your heart to love me, I won’t allow anyone to take you away from me.”

“I love you, Raewyn,” he said, the pink of his orbs brightening as he lifted his head back so he could properly see her reaction. She was his equal, his polar opposite, his strengths where he was weakest, his vulnerability where he was strongest. She was all that mattered, all that would ever matter.

D,: OMG I love them so much! *sobs*

“I love you, too, and if you don’t know this about me yet, I want you to know that once I set my heart to something, it never fades.” “It would be unfortunate for you if it did, because I’m never letting you go, my own personal piece of starlight.”

“My home is standing in front of me,” Merikh answered warmly as bright-pink sparks flashed.
