| • Penelope's POVI guess every living thing has its time to die.I just never imagined mine would come at the hands of the mate I loved eternally.Rain poured down on me, chilling my already-numb body and slowing heart. Out of the corner of my blurry, lifeless gaze, I watched as my mate—the love of my life—swaggered out of view, the sword still gripped in his hand, stained with my blood.I smiled.How Iconic.The words he left me with echoed in my mind.'You were just a plaything. A drug I couldn't get rid of. A replacement for your sister, whom I searched high and low for.'Once again, it was my sister who had turned the skies into pure darkness.I closed my eyes as a single tear slid down my cheek, but it did nothing to dull the silent ache in my chest as my heartbeat slowed to utter silence.And yet, as I lay there—where life should have drained from me—something bloomed in its place.The will to live.The need for revenge.The longing for justice.The desperate desire to see my

My legs moved before I could stop them, and I knelt. A king, kneeling. Her scent coiled around my senses like a curse, and my throat went dry with something dangerously close to hunger.Since the millenia I had lived and ruled in Lycos, this was the first time my heart raced at the mere sight of blood.It disturbed me so much that I closed my eyes and grabbed her leg.
