I’d thought Ethan was going to show me around the packhouse gardens or something, but instead he walked me quickly through them, before disappearing into the trees to shift, returning a moment later with his jeans hanging from his mouth. Nudging my side, I took the hint and climbed up onto his back, leaning down to wrap my arms around his neck. I knew straight away where we were going. The question was, why?

Ten minutes later, Ethan came to a stop in front of the cave we had used to meet up in all those years ago. Sliding from his back, I moved towards the entrance while he quickly shifted back and dressed.

“Why are we here?” I asked, spinning around to face him once he was descent.

“I thought it would be a great place for us to talk, get to know one another again.”

Entering the cave, it was like walking back through time, back to a time when life wasn’t so complicated, to when I was just a normal Wiccan with no threat of death hanging over my head. But I also remembered the last time I’d been there, the day I’d left to train with Grace, the day I told him to stay away from me. Now here I was again, almost five years later, and it hadn’t done any good. I had tried to save him, tried to spare him the pain that was to come. But here he was, my protector… doomed.

“What are you thinking about so hard?” he asked, sitting down on the large boulder in the middle of the cave that served well as a seat.

“Just how pointless it all seems now.”

“What do you mean?”

“I always knew it would be you,” I whispered, tears welling in my eyes as I acknowledged the truth I had denied all these years. I turned away from him so he wouldn’t see them. My emotions were already in turmoil after the incident in his room with Chelsea. Now, being back in this place after so long, I just couldn’t hold it back anymore. “I felt it deep inside, in my heart, my soul. And when my mother told me the truth of who I was, I panicked. It wouldn’t be just me the demon came after; it would be everyone I cared about, everyone I loved. And there was one thing my mother said to me that stuck in my head, echoed over and over. She said that at least I would die before I met my protector, bonded with him, so I would never have to live with the knowledge that it was my fault he was doomed to die a gruesome, painful death like myself. But that wasn’t true. Because I knew who my protector would be. And I knew I had to do everything in my power to make sure he survived, even if it meant making him hate me, him and everybody else I cared about.

“But what good did it do? Here we are, five years later… Doomed.
