We soared side by side, carving silver trails through clouds. My heart soared with us. The bond, once seen as a curse, had become my greatest gift.
As we landed on the balcony outside my bedroom, moonlight cast molten shadows across the stone. Taron swooped me up in that way of his and carried me straight through the open doors, into our suite. He lowered me to the bed, his reverence making my chest squeeze, then pressed his forehead to mine.
“I loved you before I ever knew you, but hid it under hatred,” he whispered, his voice rough with wonder. “I’ll love you long after every realm burns to ash.”
I cupped his cheek, letting my thumb graze the scar near his mouth. “You are my firebrand, my fiercest joy, my forever.” Then I kissed him and let the rest of the world fade into silence.
Tonight belonged to only us. And for the first time in my long existence, the fire within me was not a weapon. It was a home.
