With an animalistic roar, I attack him, my knife savagely slicing into his skin, my vision seeing nothing but red as blood spurts everywhere.

The cuts I make are no longer shallow.

These are meant to make him bleed out.

With a growl, I ram my knife into his stomach, intent on stabbing him over and over again, not stopping.

Even when he’s dead, I don’t plan on stopping.

As I pull my knife out, strong arms wrap around my waist, the smell of spice and woods washing over me.

“Eve. It’s over.” His voice is calm and soothing against my ear. “Come back to me.” His hands slide down my body, resting over my stomach, pulling me from the darkness.

Blinking, my vision clears. “William,” I rasp, feeling him pressed against me.

“I’m here, baby. Always.”

Tears fill my eyes. “Thank you…” I choke on a sob, unable to say anything else.

“Shhh… No words are necessary, Eve. You aren’t in that dungeon. I rescued you.”

My body goes limp, sagging against him, letting him support me. “You stopped him from…” Biting my lip, I’m unable to say the word.

“I did.” His warm lips press against my neck. “I’d do anything to save you. I’d burn the entire fucking world to the ground, painting every city and town in this godforsaken world red as broken and dead bodies fall behind me in my quest to get to you.”

I heave out a sigh, knowing he means those words with every fiber of his being.

He presses himself tighter against me, a hard edge to his voice. “I won’t ever let my guard down again. I refuse to let anyone get close enough to hurt you… or our kids.”

Turning my head to look into his light blue irises, I nod. “I love you.”

Spinning around to face him, my lips trail over his jawline, his stubble rough beneath them before landing on his soft, pillowy lips.

He moans as our mouths crash together, full of passion, commitment, and promise.

And most of all,love.

The kind of love that lasts an eternity.

My breathing is heavy as I slowly pull away from his mouth. “Let’s go home now.”

“Of course.” Wrapping an arm around me, he guides me to the door. “Just let me say some final words to Bryan first, okay?”

I nod and he releases me.

As I watch him stride away, there is something chilling in how he moves toward Bryan. My eyes search Bryan’s face, but he’s only focused on William.

Then he hands him a large ax.

A ferocious snarl leaves his mouth as William grabs the ax, then spins around, fire flaming in his eyes as he heads to Colin.

Colin’s eyes slowly open when he hears William’s snarl, his breathing ragged, laying there like helpless prey on the verge of death.

William stares down at Colin, contempt and rage battling for dominance on his face. “You’ll never fucking hurt my woman again, motherfucker.” With one single, forceful swing, the blade connects with Colin’s neck, decapitating him. Dropping the ax, he spits on Colin’s headless torso before raising his head, his gaze connecting with Bryan’s. “Call the guys. Dispose of this piece of shit.”

Bryan nods, already pulling out his phone.

William turns to me, his ferocious gaze freezing my body in place as the darkness engulfs him.
