LOGINChapter 217- EpilogueSERA's povI sucked in a deep breath and exhaled, as I smiled at myself in the mirror.
SERA's pov"Please don't cry like this, Sera." Matthew said gently, as he cupped my cheek with his palm. I was on my knees and still held him in my arms, while I wept like a child. "I'm really not afraid of dying…especially now that I know that you're going to be safe. You're going to live the kind of life your mother would have wanted for you."
SERA's povI would recognize that voice even in my sleep and felt a shiver run up my spine as he poked my back with the knife he was holding."What are you doing here?" I asked, my voice barely above a cold whisper. But I felt that was such an odd question to ask, because he had clearly come to finish me off.And if he didn't come to kill me, but to take me away, then he might as well just kill me, because I wasn't going anywhere with him.Not without a fight anyway."Isn't it obvious?" He asked sharply, his voice taking on an angry tone. "I came for you, Sera. Since you've been having a great time trying to make my life miserable."His accusation left me cold and somewhat angry on the inside.I was making his life miserable? Was I the one obsessed with a mate bond that was clearly a mistake?"I didn't do anything to you." I retorted quietly. "I only ever wanted to be left alone.""Yes, of course!" He yelled.

SERA's POVI was relatively calmer than I'd been all day. Plus, I finally felt understood by Damon and that went a long way to pacify my mood.But none of that meant that the situation at hand was settled. We still needed to talk about it and figure out the best option for the both of us.
DAMON's povI watched in frustration as Sera left with Jace.I wanted to go after her and demand that we resolve the matter right at that moment, but I knew sera enough to know that would only push her farther into whatever corner she was already in.
Sera's Point of ViewHe was taller than I'd expected.Way taller. Had to be at least six-three, maybe more. Broad shoulders that filled out his dark grey shirt in a way that made my mouth go dry. The suit jacket made him look powerful—not in the scary way from the cave, but in a way that commanded
Sera's Point of ViewMy head felt like someone had stuffed it with cotton and then hit it with a hammer.I groaned, blinking against the sunlight streaming through unfamiliar windows. Where—Right. The villa. Giselle. Wine.So much wine.I was still on the couch, but someone had covered me with a s
Sera's Point of ViewThe villa was gorgeous.Like, actually gorgeous. Not just nice—stunning. White stone exterior, huge windows, gardens that looked professionally maintained. The kind of place I'd only ever seen in magazines."This is where we're staying?" I asked as Giselle pulled up the drivewa
Damon's Point of ViewShe believed me.Actually believed my bullshit excuse about needing to know if she was a "good fit for the pack."I watched her face as she answered—completely serious, a little nervous, trying so hard to give me the right answers. Like there were right answers to questions ab
