Shani's POVI was lost in his love, somehow the feeling of our love was surging uncontrollably through me. And that was when I was remembering all the pain that Rain shared with me previously.He touched my hand making me shivered, the coldness, the sorrow of his loss was beyond what I've ever experienced. It was far greater than the feeling when my parents were taken too soon from me.I could feel the hollow of his heart, and now all the feelings were jumbled up inside myself. The moment that Arkael gave me his all without any barrier, the fear of me having his baby wasn't the only thing I felt. This wasn't the first time that he was bare.Hours later after spending more time with him, I started to realize that it was the fear of losing him which hits me the hardest. I knew deep down that I wouldn't be as strong as Rain. What if my elders decided to take him away, I must do something abou

Shani's POVTwo hours later a portal was opened for us. Savaric was hesitant but he eventually followed us, not wanting to face my elders without us around to help him.We reached the kingdom and were greeted by Rain, with Ranulf standing by his side. Savaric was looking tense and amazed at the same time since he had never seen a fallen angel before.I could see Rain was watching Ranulf's amused expression to Savaric's unshielded gaze towards his wings, and muscular upper body which he proudly displays.Hmm...I guess it affected everyone, I was remembering when I saw him for the first time while Arkael was standing next to me.Then Rain ushered me to Arkael's chamber, leaving them all behind."So, how's Ranulf been treating you?" I asked while Rain help me with all my preparation."He's helping me a bit too much. I'm actually over

The next day she prepared her ritual to contact her elders. I joined her and Rain in my chamber just moments before she started."Rain, I need you to be here just in case Maven is wrong. Promised me that you'll get him out of the way, I will be fine..."I was about to object when I decided to back down and let her give further instructions to Rain.This was her domain, she needs to do this. Should anything go wrong I would do anything I could to save her. She suddenly looked at me and told Rain to get more black chalk from the nymphs. He hesitated but she whispered something to him and he nodded.Damn...she knows exactly, that I would put her safety above my own.We were alone when she was in front of me. "You will save yourself before me. This is my elders, I will deal with them. I do not come down to hell to save myself. I'm doing this for you! You are mine...and I need you to d

"Arkael, we really need to get out of bed or you're going to be drain again and we would never leave this hell.""Mmmhh...that is not such a bad idea. We could lounge all day and make love and....""How about your King's duties once you decide to reside back here? Not to mention the scheduled war, the training for the soldiers, the constant nagging from the unsatisfied beings...don't say you love them more than lounging on earth and do nothing but carved all day and do me all night?""Damn...you make a very good point, okay I'm up were meeting Ranulf and Rain soonest and settle your elder stuff."She slithered her hand around my shoulder, as I take her away from the bed along with me. We dipped in the royal bath for another steamy make-out session then get dressed. She was still not used to the vast emptiness of the bath, but I proved her otherwise. Every time."You two lovebirds

One more day.I was getting antsy, and she was starting to realize it.We were lying in bed ready to end the day. I was spooning her, trying to keep my feelings under control."Arkael?""I'm good Shani, it's just that we've been here too long already. And I can't wait to get back up." I started kissing her neck and pulling her close to me.What if everything goes wrong tomorrow? I don't want her to shed a tear for me. I don't ever want her to be sad."No something is wrong, I could feel it." She said looking into my eyes."Just the war, it's alerted to me, and with Ranulf still in recuperation, I'm doubting myself. Look...why don't...you...take my mind off of it?" I started kissing her with each pause, and kiss her deeper at the end of my explanation.It wasn't a total lie, there was going to be a war tomorrow. But it was
