Episode Three

Chapter One

Time. It has a way of settling your aggressions. In some cases it teaches you to think before you speak. In others, you develop a habit of not giving a damn what you say—or do. Talon had always lingered somewhere in between.

In his mortal days he did nothing but raise hell. He never thought before he spoke. That notion forced him to learn to fight at a young age, simply because not many liked to hear what he had to say. The first of his immortal days were more of the same.

Even today, he was quick to strike first and ask questions later, at least when it came to those he cared about: Reveca, his MC. At the same time, because of his Club, he learned to pick his battles, or at the very least carefully plot his way through the war he was eager to engage in.

His cool nature coupled with his appearance was what some said made him the most lethal of all the Sons. He could smile with the best of them, never let you know he was onto you, then strike the lethal blow without warning.

One thing that Talon had never done well was bend to the will of others. He knew, though, that the only way to command an empire was to learn to do just that, marginally, of course. You always needed someone with just a bit more power or influence than you to edge you higher.

However, in his opinion Reveca bent far too easily for her family, for the coven that turned their back on her when she tried to build a life of her own.

Saying goodbye, she could never handle that. And as long as she had existed she’d been force to do so over and over. People came into her life and they left. As long as it wasn’t a final goodbye she could handle it for the most part, at least as far as Talon knew she could.

Not being able to handle that final goodbye is the reason he was an immortal today. She’d brought him back. To this day he could still remember that pull. He remembered the cold grip of death opposing her, seeing all that he’d done wrong in life.

The only thing in his life that had any trace of good to it was Reveca. She was no damsel in distress. He’d never saved her from the woes of life, but she made him see life differently. She gave purpose to all that he was fighting against.

When she first began to pull him back, he hesitated. He knew it was her fear of being alone, her hatred of saying goodbye that was spilling her tears, that what they had was raw, deep and powerful, yet not complete.

He found himself hovering over his body, watching her cry, watching her pull all the power she could to one source. Through the words of the spell that were whispering across her lips he heard her say, ‘not again,’ over and over.
