My Lilith is gone.
Those words repeat over and over in my head as I unleash my rage.
One by one, beings go down. I can’t stop myself from destroying anything in my path.
I feel arms pull me from my trance, and I look over to see Bernael who looks at me with wide eyes.
“She’s gone,” I say roughly.
“I know. We will find her again. Furcas seems to be gone as well,” he says.
I look around and see that most of the enemy force is gone, and those who haven’t died are being killed by my army right now.
I don’t see Furcas anywhere. We have lost a lot today.
I lost my reason for existing.

I stand back and watch as my woman and father join hands, and he takes her back to his most painful time.
It doesn’t take long before tears fall down her cheeks.
When she pulls away, she gasps like she can’t believe what she just saw.
“I’m so sorry,” Serenity whispers.
“It has been a long time,” my father whispers back.
“What do you think?” Jasper asks.
“He never saw Furcas die; he just went off of what his other friend had told him. He had to have died; his frame is black,” she says while looking at my father in confusion.
“It turned black that same day. That’s why I never questioned it,” my father admits.
“Maybe he did die, but he found his way back home and regained his memories and powers,” Otis states.
“Then why would his frame not change back?” Serenity asks.
“He had to have figured out a way to keep it black. This is something we will have to look into,” my dad says.
“For now, let’s focus on your bonding ceremony, in addition to making sure we don’t have any spies for Furcas amongst our soldiers,” Lorenzo says.
“I don’t want to rush a bonding ceremony. We can’t push Serenity into something like that,” I tell my family.
“I’m ready to start planning it,” Serenity says so quietly that I’m questioning if I heard her correctly, but everyone has the same surprised look on their faces so it is clear that she actually said what I had thought she had said.
“Are you sure?” I ask, walking over to her with hope and taking her hands in mine.
She nods her head and gives me a shy smile.
“Yes, I have been sure for awhile. I want this with you. It’s the one thing I know I don’t have to question. I can feel that what you feel for me is real and genuine. I trust in you, and I trust in us. I’m not fighting it anymore.”
I pick her up and kiss her hard on the lips. I don’t remember the last time I felt this happy.
