To the ones who pour out their souls and ask for nothing in return—I hope you find someone who would wage war on fate itself to give you the world.

“If anyone else doubts my intention to find Elessia and kill the king and every single fucking male or female who has hurt her…” Merrick emphasized each word. “Feel free to let me know now.”
“If you die on that ship I will come to the afterlife and haunt you for fucking ever, and then we can talk about possessive.”
“Merrick, there were so many things I never said. I love you so much. You brought me all the light. You brought me everything. Freedom. Hope. Trust. Love. Fight. I love you. Don’t die because of me. Please don’t die because of me. Live! Save this world. Please. Please. Please.” The tugging stopped.
“I don’t care what she wants.” Merrick shoved Raine’s arm off. “I don’t want to live in a world where she doesn’t exist.”
“You’re not fucking listening to me!”
“I know she inspires every person she comes across. She is the fucking light of this world! The purest soul. The kindest. The strongest. A leader, a friend, a lover, a woman, a Fae, a human. But it’s almost too late. I can feel it!”
He loved her. Utterly and completely. With every dark corner of his mind and heart.
“Hi,”
“Hi,” he urged back. “Hi. I love you. I’m here now. You’re safe.”
“I’m real. It’ll be all right. I’ll make it all right. I promise, I promise, I promise.”
“Please. I nearly lost my mind the past few days, so please allow me to be an overprotective bastard. Just today.”
“Perhaps we only get endings.”
“But let’s make that ending one for the fucking books, shall we?”
“I promised the children… I promised it to myself when I left my home! I need to do this! We need them. I need them!” “And I need you!” Merrick screamed
“Like this one, I want yours and mine to be the same. You are mine. I am yours. That’s just how it is. The good and the bad and the pretty and the ugly. We will fucking share it all. That’s how it was meant to be, and it’s how it will always be. I want the world to fucking know it. I want everyone I ever meet to see that every part of me—every dark corner of my soul—belongs to you.”
If this is the price… if in the end she chooses him… is it still worth it? Merrick swallowed against the pain, but he didn’t hesitate as he declared, “Without a fucking doubt.”
😭😭😭
“He is a good man,” Merrick forced out. “And if… if she chooses him but that means she’s still alive… I will be grateful for it every day of what is left of my wretched life.”
“Fuck them, Lessia. Fuck fate. Fuck this place. Let’s get those wyverns, go to war, kill the king, and fucking win.”
through the room. “Of course you do. My little fighter likes her man on his knees before her. Likes to see him serve her like the goddess she
“Is it worth it?” Thissian didn’t hesitate. “To see him blush like today? To see him smile and laugh and maybe even feel something again? It’s worth all the damned pain in the world.”
My purpose in this life was to find you, and I believe also to keep you alive, so that’s the one damned thing I am going to do. This is my fucking choice.”
“I hate… I fucking hate how much I love you. And I hate you for doing that… but… I am so fucking proud of you. Do you hear that?”
“And so a soulbinder shall help her rise to take her throne—her right as a veiled queen.”
