His Vampire Bride
“Zelda is with him.”
At least he didn’t lose all of them. At least he wasn’t completely alone, but as Declan once explained to her, a vampire’s bond with his first bride was the strongest and most profound of all, and no subsequent bond could ever come close. Both Rowan and Matthew lost their first brides. And here Declan was, trying to be strong for everybody, trying to keep everyone standing, when he himself must have been in agony. She dried her tears, cupped his face, staring into his green eyes. “How are you?” she asked.
He shook his head. “I don’t know. Eros once told me I’m the strongest of them all…I wish…oh God, Aster, just once I don’t want to be the strongest.”
