~Alaya The process is simple. Sinful strides around me, sliding a needle into the top of the small bottle. At least he has chosen a more pleasant way to take my life, considering how little he actually feels for me. We have a plan, which so far, is going smoother than I thought it would. I tore my mind to pieces last night, as I lay beside Asher, hating myself. I'm sure one day he will understand why I'm doing this. Even if it means risking my life, it means saving another. At least I have a chance of surviving. If Sinful goes along with the plan... "Are you sure you are ready for this?" Sinful asks, pausing to stand directly in front of me. I glared up at him, knowing why he is asking t

~Alaya I'm not sure what surprises me the most. Sinful is a jerk. I know that much already, though. How he managed to make my plan go from somewhat brilliant to absolute trash that I'm too far deep in to revoke. He always managed to do it in record time - I assume when Asher and I were back in the mortal lands. Cunning. Manipulative. All these things I already know about Sinful, yet it still crashes over me like wave that I may have possibly stepped into a trap. The next surprise to contest the former, is this utter stranger looking down at me. He definitely adds sense to the strange in that word. In some off sense, he reminds me of Fate, and maybe on a far stretch, Fate. That relation is probably due to his

~Alaya I'm confused, surprised and also immensely relieved to see Asher in front of me. He looks at me, over my shoulder, then back at me again. I'm surprised he's standing here, confused that he got up here in the first place, and relieved because he's here to save me. I was about to leave and go who knows where, so to see him in front of me wants me to fall to my knees and cry. I had almost accepted I wouldn't see him again. "You're safe," he breathes, sweeping a worried gaze across my body, before he focused his gaze behind me, at where I knew Micah was standing. As Asher brushes past me, I can't predict how he is going to respond. I tu

~Alaya I have no other choice but to go to this party. The message on the other side of the invitation was the most incriminating information on me in this world. It made me feel sick to my stomach, but guessing by the signing off at the bottom, it made sense how this could be known. Naturally, I had to check, and once I had confirmed it to be true, I decided I have to go to this party. I just have to hope Asher will be here. This new discovery, as heartbreaking as it may seem, is something I have to inform him about. As my dress arrives, and I pull it out of its box, I wonder if he would even want to talk to me. He left me as his own decision, which I know is to help me get on with with my life, but after everything that I have been through, I'm not about

Epilogue

~Alaya I watch a completely naked Asher walk toward the edge of the water, a sated smile on my face. Despite myself, I can't help but roll my eyes. He turns, glancing over his shoulder with a typical boyish smile on his face, knowing what just want on between us, as if he wants to proclaim it to the world. I lie back on the blanket he had set out earlier, ignoring him for a moment. I'm not sure why when I know he won't rest until I'm following after him. I don't know what spurred him to bring me out here, into a wood clearing where he had found a pond of water underneath a small waterfall. It's peaceful out here, compared to back home. The
