THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION SIGRID | didnt know what to say or do.
A silent tear slipped from the corner of my eye as | stared up at the sky.
How did I not see it before? Now, it felt so obvious.
The man who spoke so warmly behind me, who heldand whispered words of love in my earmy matewas the
very man the world called a villain.
The most feared, the most ruthless and bloodthirsty.
It was incredible how history could be twisted by its victors.

Honestly, Umbros doesnt feel familiar toanymore.
| dont like it..." "Dont say it!" | turned suddenly, pressing my hands over his mouth.
"Your nis Silas.
You are my Silas.
That nam say it ever again!" Ishouted, trying not to break, as if merely avoiding the word could erase his fatethe
destruction he was meant to bring.
"Sigrid, whats wrong? Why are you crying?" He gently pulled my hand away from his lips, his face etched with

His fingers brushed my tears away, but they wouldnt stop falling ---- Iwas drowning in the storm of my own
emotions.
| threw my arms around him, holding him tight against my chest, desperate, wanting to tell him so many
thingsbut how could | accuse him of a future he didnt even know? "Nothing.
Nothing...
| just suddenly felt afraid," 1 admitted, burying my face against his back, clinging to him.
| had to pull myself together.
Even if | wanted to tell him the truth, I couldnt.
Now | understood why this damn vow of silence preventedfrom speaking clearly about the future or my
mission here.
"Twas afraid of losing you," | continued, forcing my voice to remain steady.
"Now that youre so powerful, many women will desire you.
Maybe...
maybe you wont be satisfied with a half- blood Selenia anymore." T swallowed the lump in my throat and blurted
out the first foolish excuse that cto mind.
His cold fingers lifted my chin, forcingto look at him.
| wanted to avoid his gaze, to hidebut he wouldnt let me.
His golden eyes burned, brilliant and unwavering, | would give anything to keep them from darkening further.
He said nothing for a few seconds, simply watching my tears.
His jaw clenched, muscles tense, his magic dangerously unstable.
I didnt know if he believed me.
Silas was a very intelligent man ---- observant and perceptive.
"That will never happen.
Never." His voice was firm, unshakable.
"will always be with you, Sigrid.
Always.
My body and soul belong to you.
Your mark is here..." He took my hand and placed it over his powerful heart.
Its strong, steady rhythm pounded beneath my trembling fingers.
"Its carved deep into my very being.
Dont be afraid, my Selenia.
1 will protect you.
| will protect our love." His words completely disarmed me.
Then, he lowered his head and kissed mehungry, desperate, filled with passion.
My lips trembled, the salty taste of my tears mixing between us.

Silas liftedeffortlessly and sat down on the rooftop, not asking any more questions.
The dawn was nearly upon us.
The end of this bloody night.
He stroked my waist slowly, holdingtightly against his body.
| lay curled against him, my face buried in his neck, inhaling deeply.
That intoxicating, spicy magic.
My dark temptation.
Neither of us spoke.
Each lost in our own thoughts, our own plans.
