“It’s a pleasure to meet you,” Edward says.
Daisy looks at him, then back to me, and then back to Edward again.
“My dragons,” she says.
“What?” I ask innocently.
“You mated him.”
“What? No, I didn’t.”
“Oh, you did! I can tell!”
“What? How?” There is no mating mark. There’s no scar. There’s no real way to tell that someone has mated another. This can’t be real. I rack my brain, trying to think of moments when my mother may have revealed more about the true instances of mating, but my sister simply starts to laugh.
“You just gave yourself away, love,” Edward says, and he steps toward me.
“So it’s true,” Daisy says.
“It’s true,” I grumble.
“I’m very happy for you. The king doesn’t seem too bad in real life, actually. He’s much more handsome than the rumors let on.”
“I’m right here. I can hear you.” Edward crosses his arms playfully over his chest, as though he’s upset, but I know he isn’t.
I know that right now, no matter what happens next, everything is going to be okay because we did it. We actually did it. I killed Wyatt. I killed him before he could take one more thing from me. I killed him, ending his life, and now the kingdom will never have to face him anymore.
Oh, I know there will be other threats. I know there will be other problems, but this problem? This one is over.
“Well,” Daisy looks from Edward to me and back again. “I suppose I’ll just...go...see if Luther needs anything.” She winks at me and then hurries out of the throne room. She closes the doors behind her.
“So we’re alone,” Edward turns to me and wraps his arms around me. He pulls me close.
“I thought you were going to die.”
“I thought I was, too.”
“I’m glad you’re okay.”
“Thank you for saving me,” he whispers.
“You aren’t sad you were saved by a girl?”
He just laughs and smiles. Then Edward kisses me sweetly and brushes my hair back out of my face.
“I’m just glad I was saved by a goddess,” he whispers.
Then he kisses me again.
Epilogue
Rose
Murder has never been my favorite way to pass the time, but killing Wyatt felt right.
Good.
Noble.
