Estrella’s knees shook before her weight collapsed in on itself, her
body sliding down the wall at her back until she sat upon the
jagged stones beneath. Pulling her knees to her chest and leaning forward to
touch her cheek to the tops of them, she stared at the carnage around me in
shock, the gaze in her green eyes going distant. Studying the wreckage I
had wrought to save her life, she ignored the motives to focus on the end
result.
Making me the villain of her story, when all I wanted was to be her
everything.
Her bronze skin paled against her inky-black hair as she took in the
mangled bodies of the Mist Guard that rose the moment their corpses
touched the ground. She stared into a hole where a heart should have been,
her eyes glassy as her full bottom lip trembled. Something inside me
cracked, seeing the grief rife on her face as she tried to process what stood
in front of her.
She weighed my confessions and everything she hadn’t seen, finding
herself lacking for not acknowledging my deception before.
Her eyes traveled over the place where the dead surrounded the rest of
the Fae Marked, allowing them to get comfortable in the circle as the fight
trickled out of them.
Crouching down in front of her, I willed her to take a good look at me,
instead of the aftermath of my fury, and see the male in front of her who
would do anything to protect her. To finally see me beyond the illusion
meant to keep her wandering in the dark.
Her eyes snapped back to mine suddenly as the bond arced between us.
Nothing existed outside of the two of us, the world beyond our bond
existing outside of the haven we created. Without my glamour to lessen it,
the magic seemed to pulse through the air, the hands of the Fates and their
threads working to connect us as we had always been destined to be.
From the moment I’d been created, from the very instant I’d come into
this world and drawn my first breath, she’d been in the Void between life
and death.
Waiting to be born. Waiting to be mine.
She tore her gaze away as sharply as she’d given it, the magic between
us severing like a broken twig with the loss of her eyes upon mine. It was
still there, still lurking and waiting for the moment when she would return
to me, but there wasn’t a doubt in my mind that my human mate had
somehow found a way to keep her mind closed to me.
