“Your soul is bound to mine,” I breathed against his mouth, even though I knew he was no longer there to hear my words, but a dark and unknown energy seemed to stir the air itself at that vow. “And I won’t rest until I make every star in the heavens fall for trying to cleave us apart.”
Married and widowed in the same day.
“Darius Vega is the greatest Dragon who ever lived,” I spoke loud and clear, making Lionel fall deathly still.
DARIUS VEGA!!!!!!! Oh my god
“Too much,” he breathed. “I want you too fucking bad and I can’t help it. Can’t stop it. I’m yours to do whatever you want with. I’m your fucking Wolf, Cal, and the thought of making you mine is too much to bear.”
“Listen to me, Blue. I loved you when your soul shone with all the starlight in the night sky, and I’ll love you now when your soul is the blackest you’ve ever known. I will love you whole and I’ll love you in pieces. It doesn’t matter, light or dark, I am here. That is what mates are for. It’s what I’m made to be for you by the stars themselves, so stop trying to shut me out.”
I had fallen for him so hopelessly. He was Caleb Altair.
“Matrem consanguinitate religatam et ultra. Filii mei vinculis mortis suscipio,”
I am no longer bound by blood to my mother. I am taking on the bonds of death for my son.
“Her blood was my blood,” he said in explanation. “She paid the price of your curse in her death. You’re free.”
I bowed my head before her, my limbs trembling with the magnitude of this action, of what I had known and should have admitted for a long time now. “I pledge myself and all that I am to you, my Queen,”
“I’ll wait for you,” he swore to me. “Right here. I’ll wait for you for as long as it takes. And I’ll watch over you, Roxy. I’ll be there even though you won’t see me. I’ll never truly leave you. I swear it. I’ll wait for you even if eternity passes me by while I do. I won’t ever leave you.”
Stealer of life. Twister of destiny. Beware the cost. Turn from this path. Stop before you unbalance the scales. His ascension will bear a price.
“My soul is his,”
“My heart is his.”
“Let them beat as one,”
“Let them be one,”
“My life is bound to his. His death bound to mine. One heart….”
“One life…”
“One path. Together,”
“No!” Darius bellowed, his eyes dropping from my face and forcing me to look down at the sun steel blade which now pierced my chest, mirroring the wound which had stolen him from me, the agony of it wrenching at the anchors of my soul as it tried to rip me away into death too.
No. I hadn’t bound us in death. I had bound us in life and those motherfuckers knew it.
“There is only him,”
The thump of Darius’s heartbeat rang out in perfect synchronicity with my own because it was my own. One heart. One life. Never to be parted again.
I met my husband’s eyes as he dropped to one knee before us, placing the head of his axe against the ground and bowing his head low before us. “I pledge my life to your service.”
suddenly they were all there, Caleb falling to his knees at Darius’s side,
“I pledge my life in your service,” Caleb
“I pledge my life in your service,” Max
“I pledge my life in your service,” Seth
