He said that only a villain can take down another villain.
Fine. Then that is exactly what I will become.

Because I have only done what I always do.
I have ruined everything.

Agony carves through my chest like a burning blade. It feels as if someone has ripped my heart out. As if someone has ripped him out.

He hates me now.
And I can’t take it back.

None of them know what I had to do to buy us this victory. What I had to sacrifice to save Draven’s life.

A massive wildfire of red-violet hatred slams right into Draven’s chest.
And our mate bond shatters.

All magic comes with a price. The cost to use this portal is the death of the one who loves you.

Power washes over me. Oh Goddess, I could get drunk on that power alone. Because I am her goddess now. Her life is mine. I am finally in control. I finally have the power.

Those awful words still echo inside my skull. You ruined everything. Pain still rips at my heart. I can’t breathe. Goddess above, I can’t breathe.
So I turn to rage instead.

A villainous smile spreads across my mouth as I lie there in Draven’s arms and gaze up at the glittering heavens above. I nod, feeling his words settle deep inside me. A promise. A vow. A fucking defiant scream to this unfair world
