Chapter 15

“But I want to come with you!” Aala all but screams at me, her rather strong arms tightly wrapped around my waist. “You will go and never come back, just like my parents and aunt. I don’t want you not to come back!” she cries, and it breaks my heart with every word. Ren kneels next to me, right at her level, and taps her little shoulder. She breaks her head away from my hip and looks at Ren with wide, tear-filled eyes.

“The goddess that blessed you is going to protect us all. Kaitlyn especially. You have nothing to worry about, little one. When this is over, where would you like to go?”

She thinks about it a little as she lets me go but still stays close. “The beach to get shells!”

“The beach it is then,” he replies and stands up.

“But you need to stay here and be brave for us. Is that okay?” I ask, knowing I’m not leaving her alone in any sense. There are twenty-nine women and sixty-two children staying behind who cannot fight today. If the vampires fall today, at least they will be here to make a new generation of vampires. There are many tales hiding in Knox’s dimension with them, the ones who cannot fight, as the tales island will not be safe when we are at war so close by. We wait for Aala’s answer as she stares at us before she lowers her head and whispers a small answer.

“Yes.”

“My brave girl,” I whisper, leaning down and kissing her forehead. I walk Aala to the women who swear to look after her before a tear-filled goodbye. I head back into my rooms and stare at the clothes on the bed.

“What are these?” I ask, picking up the shimmering blue material and gold chains hanging off the dress.

“The royal clothes of the vampire race. My mother’s dress,” Ren softly explains, coming to stand behind me. I turn back, glancing at the clothes he has on now. Gold chains fall off his shoulders, wrapping around his black shirt and black cloak that falls off his thick shoulders. The black cape has lines of the same shimmering blue material that looks like real magic. Stunning. “She would want you to wear them today. You’re my queen, and this, this is your crown.” He pulls his hands from behind his back, and in them lies an elf-like crown. A thick blue stone in a diamond shape rests in the middle of the dark blue metal that winds and swirls around it. I bow my head for Ren, and he places the crown on me where it fits perfectly. Turning to look at myself in the mirror, I only see how Ren looks down at me instead of how the crown looks against my blonde hair and pale skin.

“Any queen is lucky when their king looks at them the way you look at me,” I tell him before turning and kissing him, taking his lips for my own. His hands grip my hips tightly as he lifts me up, pushing my back against the counter.

“I will always look at you this way. You’re my love, my queen, and my redemption.” I kiss him harder the second he stops talking, even when his words steal my soul and brand it with his name once more. I quickly undo his trousers as he pushes down my leggings, and I wrap my legs around him as he easily slides into me. I moan as his teeth drift down my neck seconds before he bites me, and the sensation is incredible. Like a lightning bolt jolting through me, pleasure wraps around my body as he thrusts into me, feeding from my neck at the same time. My orgasm slams into me as he removes his lips from my neck and kisses me, thrusting harder.

“Kaitlyn...” He groans my name against my lips as he comes hard and long inside me. We both stare at each other as we calm down, reality threatening to seep back into our world. We have hours before the war, and this is the last moment we will have together.

“I love you,” I whisper. “Thank you for changing me, for being my ghost when I was alone and showing me what was really worth fighting for.”

His smile hurts my heart with how perfect it is. “It was never you who was lucky. It was always and forever me.”

I kiss him one more time, wishing we had forever to
