* * *

Romelia’s father meant what he said. He said I wouldn’t die for her.

He meant that I would die with her.

Because I can’t bear to think of breathing without her. I can’t. In fact, I start to cough. I’ve always said that Romelia is my breath, and right now, I feel like I can’t breathe. My lungs burn, and I try to focus, to feel that connection to Romelia that I’ve always felt.

And I can’t.

It’s because I’m panicking. That’s why. He’s causing me to doubt Romelia, and that just won’t do.

I glower at him. “You’re lying.”

Her father cocks his head to the side. “Am I?”

“You’re a demon. That’s what you do.”

“Yes, we can lie, unlike fairies, but that doesn’t mean we can’t also tell the truth.” He grins, revealing his sharp, pointed teeth. “But if you don’t believe me, go ahead. Go to her side. See her dead body for yourself. For claiming to love her, you should be able to know if she breathes or not, but you don’t know. You can’t tell, and that makes me doubt your love.”

“You have no right to question my love!”

"Is that so? You don't have to shout, but I do have to wonder why it is that you're here, covered in blood, having clearly fought in the war that you supposedly want to be done and over with instead of being with my daughter who you profess to love. To me, there's a disconnection, and I don't understand your logic. You claim to love Romelia, yet you came here because you wanted to fight me, did you not?"

I grit my teeth. Yes, I came here to stop Romelia's father, and I had been willing to fight him if I needed to, but I knew then as I know now that a fight with her father would mean I would die. But I would've done it. I would've died to try to stop the war.

But if Romelia is dead…

She can’t be.

She just can’t be.

In a daze, I turn around, but I don't take that first step away from him. If I do, I'm too afraid of where the journey will take me. I don't want to believe Romelia's father, but why would he lie about this? He has no reason to want me gone from his house.

He just might be telling the truth.

“I don’t know what you’re waiting for,” her father taunts.

“Have you said goodbye to her?” I snap, whirling back around. “Or do you not care about her because she’s dead and can’t be used as a pawn for your world domination plan?”

“Oh, you’re a feisty one, aren’t you? I can see why my daughter might’ve liked you.”

“She loves me.”

“Loved, wolf. Loved. She’s dead.”

I shake my head.

He sighs. “You’re delusional, wolf.”

“My name is Julian. Julian Moonblaze. And your daughter? She’s Romelia Moonblaze.”

His eyes flash with surprise.

“Yes. We married. Our love won’t end with our deaths, though. That’s something you can’t possibly understand, though, so don’t bother trying. I love her, and she loves me.
