Chapter 47: Death Becomes You

*VICKY*

I heard the sounds of Leon’s screams as I gave into the void. They were utterly heartbreaking. I wanted to open my eyes…I wanted to stay with him. As Vicky, as Victoria, it didn’t matter anymore. I just wanted to be with Leon. My Blood Bond. My mate.

A soft hush fell over my consciousness. It was quiet. Peaceful. I hadn’t experienced this sort of serenity since I was a child on my parent’s farm. I yearned for it, but I couldn’t risk going any further. I needed to wake up. I had to wake up.

I heard a faint muffling sound and swore I could smell Leon’s Blood Perfume. It was rich, and strong, just like when we had first met, but it was now combined with my own scent. We were one, and as I tried to will myself to consciousness, I could see the light from the bright full moon gradually turning from silver to red behind my eyes.
