RAFFERTY
My entire world dies the moment Ember’s soul leaves her body.
I cling to her limp form, her eyes staring up at me from a face far paler than it should be. A final tear slips from her eye and trails down her cheek, and I tighten my hold, unwilling to let go.
Agony.
Burning, blazing agony burns through me.
She was my mate.
My true mate.
The one person in any world who was made for me, and now she’s gone.
I can make my pain go away. I can make it all disappear. I can get vengeance for her.
The darkness coos to me, calling me forward and showing me all the ways I can slaughter the woman I once believed to be my mate. The woman I should have killed centuries ago.Ailis.
For the first time since I took in the power, I consider all it offers me.
Tears burn my cheeks as they fall, slipping down and falling onto Ember. She’s gone. There’s nothing left for me to lose now.
Nothing.
Left.
To.
Lose.
Closing my eyes, I let that darkness in. It slips through my body, intoxicating me with power. It pulsates, and with each passing moment, my agony eases.
My chest stops hurting.
My tears stop falling.
And when I look down at the woman in my arms, the woman I would have destroyed the world for, I feel…
Nothing.
