A single white flower with the most delicate pink edges and golden center.
Slowly, it changed, growing into a small green fruit. The apple transformed until it was the size of her palm—its color a pure light gold.
She flapped her wings a little to give her enough lift to reach the fruit and snap it off its branch.
“Take a bite,” Freya urged, watching her closely with an indefinable glint in her eyes.
“Tell me what it tastes like. But be sure to make your wish before you do so.”
Eir turned the apple in her hands.
Was this it? Would this work?
“How do I know if my wish comes true?” she asked.
“You don’t,” Freya said.
“You can only have faith. Just, don’t waste a wish on trying to change your Fate, my friend,” she advised. “That way usually leads to disappointment.”
“The wish is not for me,” Eir replied.
Freya’s eyes flickered as if she was surprised.
But all she said was, “Then make it and see. You have nothing to lose.”
Eir held the apple in both hands and closed her eyes.
Kai’s face immediately came to mind. Tattooed and scarred. Rugged and primitively masculine.
She saw his full lips curve in that shy, barely-there smile, the corners of his firestorm eyes crinkling with joy.
How she loved that beautiful male! His heart and soul most gorgeous of all.
With that image locked in her mind, she inhaled deeply and made her wish.
To seal her hopes, she took a large bite of the fruit, and was barely aware of Freya asking again, “What does it taste like?”
Bittersweet, Eir thought but didn’t say out loud.
Like every emotion at its keenest extreme—joy, pain, breathless elation, endless desire…
But the feeling that eclipsed all the rest waswonder.
Wonder that she could have been fortunate enough to meet this male.
Wonder that Kai would feel so deeply for a Death Dealer such as she.
Wonder that she could learn how to love him in return. The way a woman unconditionally loved a man.
None of this had been written into her Fate.
None of this should have happened.
And yet it did.
They found each other at last. They belonged to each other forever.
And Eir knew, without a doubt, no matter what happened—
That her wish would ultimately come true.
