“I had no right to blame you for any of this. Not for my father’s declaration or the destruction of the gate. None of it mattered anyway because I would have brought down my entire kingdom and burned them all before I let them get anywhere near you. I may be warring for the loss of my throne, but nothing will ever compare to what it felt like to lose you. I have a lot of regrets for mistakes I’ve made, and I know I’ll make more, but having you as a Mate would never be one of them. You may think my heart to be dead, but every part of it belongs to you.”
