---- Ss felt her presencethe warmth approaching.


    He wanted to fight, but then arms wrapped around him in the air.


    That Selenia was attacking him head-on, and he had frozen.


    So much hatred for what? So many years waiting for his revenge, only to be trapped in a single moment.


    His eyes widened in shock as he found her beautiful face mere inches from his.


    He got lost in the gray of her gaze, a gaze that was devouring him.


    Her full, sensual lips parted to speak.


    "Ss, I love you.


    I love you so much.


    Remember me, my mate, please...


    remember our love." Her voice was soft.


    His dark heart skipped a beat.


    He struggled, tried to break freehe had tobut how could he resist when the only thing he truly wanted was to surrender? The killing blow wasing, he knew it.


    She leaned in and...


    did.


    did she kiss him?! She...


    she kissed him!! Umbros froze, rigid, almost forgetting to move his wings to stay afloat, his entire world spinning.


    The warmth of her wet lips began to move against his cold ones.


    With wide eyes, he watched her.


    She closed hers, glistening with tears, and pulled him against her chest, which throbbed steadily alive.


    ---- A dark and golden magic surged from within her, seeping into him, invading every pore, reaching his raging energy, exploring it, intertwining, remembering.


    He hated being kissed he bit, he spat, he had even been muzzled like a beast but now...


    now that sinful mouth taking him by force tasted like pure glory.


    The Specter Kings eyelids grew heavy, little by little.


    His breath becamebored.


    A soft moan escaped her lips, and his curious tongue slipped inside, tasting her, exploring her, inhaling her intoxicating scent.


    His hands moved on their own, reaching for her narrow waist, pulling her flush against him, possessive and dominant.


    Their ck and golden wings beat in the air, keeping them afloat.


    Mist began to coil around Ss, hiding him, while on the other side, Selenias magic enveloped Sigrid in a radiant glow.


    Light and darknessboth forming a perfect circle, creating a space that existed only for them.


    "Sigrid," he whimpered, as if in unbearable pain.


    His fingers clenched tightly around her golden armor.


    His other hand rose to her ck hair, gripping it in a possessive fist.


    His lips began to devour hers with desperation, with hunger.


    The memories...


    those beautiful, tormenting memories surged through his mind like a flood ---- The essence of your magic, your being I recognize it." "Mydy...


    my lover...


    my vengeance...


    my woman...


    my mate...


    you are my Sigrid, you are mine, my Selenia..." Tears of blood streamed from Sss eyes as he clung to herhis only light in so much darkness Tremember you."
