"What of her soul?"
Death tilted his head toward me. "That's what worries you? Not the return, but her soul?"
I said nothing.
"Soul?" Death tsked. "The fractured thing it is. It's a jagged, crushed thing, the remnants buried within him."
I had not seen that outcome either.
"Her soul is in Samkiel?"
"What is left of it. Two beings in one. It seems Samkiel was strong enough to bear it," Death said and sipped his tea.

"No one has ever protected me like you do. I'm always the one taking care of everything and everyone else. You're supposed to protect the world, not me."
"You are my world." He pulled me flush against him and tipped my head back to kiss my forehead, his hand running idly up and down my back. "I’ll always protect you, akrai. No matter the consequences," he whispered against my forehead. "Even if I break the sky."

"Dianna will never choose you, even with all your conniving and fail-proof plans. She chose me and has every day from the moment she laid eyes on me. She left you then and never once looked back. Not. Once."
"You stole our amata mark, so I did the next best thing. She is my wife, my only, and she will never again be yours. Never."

Reggie smiled at me, and it was the first real one I had seen from him in a long time. "Bring your queen home."
I gave him a curt nod and shot into the sky, leaving the sound of thunder in my wake.

"Okay." I grinned, and to chase away the dark clouds that had formed in his eyes, I said, "So, how do you feel about being called my husband?"
His face lit up. "So much better. I never have to hear you call me your friend again."
😂
I threw my head back and laughed. When I looked at him, he was just staring at me, dumbstruck.
"What?" I asked.
"Nothing," he whispered roughly. "I just love you."

"Sami." My heart lodged in my throat as another realization struck me. "You planned all this while you were gone?"
He looked at me as if I had grown horns. "Yes. If we cannot share the mark, I want the next best option. I want everyone who encounters us to know who we belong to. I want something that can protect you when I cannot. I thought I'd made my intentions very clear?"

"Samkiel, I can't do this. I can't just act like nothing happened between us. You left and—"
I turned and froze, every muscle in my body seizing.
It wasn't in fear of the hundreds of lying bugs that probably infested this city, but because Samkiel, World Ender, Destruction Incarnate, and the legendary God King throughout all twelve realms, was kneeling before me.
His hand was raised, and he held a shimmering silver ring that held a rhombus-cut, clear jewel. The band gleamed in the low light, and the main stone and the four smaller gems surrounding it sparkled like starlight. Power wafted from it, pure blinding power that I could nearly taste.
"W-what?" The word left my mouth in a whisper as I glanced between him and the ring. My body flushed with heat, and my heart pounded. I took a step back.
"I wanted to do this differently, but I am afraid that creature signaled more to come. There is no perfect place to do this. No place would be perfect enough for you, but anywhere you are is perfect for me."
My brain stopped completely, unable to comprehend what was happening. The ground shook beneath us, or maybe it was me, my entire world tilting.
"This is how it is done on Onuna, yes? They get down on one knee and confess their undying love." Worry creased his brow. "Am I doing this wrong?"
🥺🥹
I couldn't breathe, couldn't think. Every form of language emptied from my brain at the sight of Samkiel kneeling before me, holding that ring out. My heart thudded in my chest, and my throat went dry.
"What is this? What's happening?" I managed to gasp.
"Well, I believe this is the part where I ask." His smile was so soft and so sweet. It broke my heart. "Dianna, will you—"
"No."
Samkiel's brows furrowed, and he stood. I backed away from the ring he held like he was offering me poison.
"No?"
I shook my head. "No."
He opened his mouth, undoubtedly to say some pretty words that I would believe, but I could not let him say them. There was too much between us, too much still not talked about, reasonings, answers, and questions. Even more than the fight, there was the fact that I hurt everyone I loved. I'd hurt him, and I refused to do it again.
