Nadja looked down at the man she’d loved and smiled again. She would miss his ardent embrace, his passion. She’d miss knowing that he’d always be there for her, and she was grateful for all he’d done. But she couldn’t trust anyone else to complete this transference ceremony, and the rite required the physical death of a body to keep her soul anchored.

She again pressed her mouth to his lips, a sweet lingering kiss that would be their last. Using her magick, she sapped the last of Sasha’s strength and turned it against him. She used that borrowed force to move the athame up through his body and then down again, gutting him like an animal.

It was what he would have wanted. After all, she’d asked him if he would die for her and he’d agreed.

She raised her arms and called a storm. Thunder crackled outside, and clouds covered the daytime sky with inky black depths. The tender rain that had been like tears from Heaven became torrential, crashing down into the soft earth, the drops like bombs, slamming into the landscape and crushing flora and fauna alike. Lightning ripped the atmosphere, tearing asunder the very fabric of reality.

Inside the crypt, another bolt struck. It incinerated Sasha’s body, reducing it to ash. Nadja spoke more words, and that ash merged with the blood and diamond paste to become a whole stone. It burned red with the love that Sasha had held for her.

When the smoke cleared, Nadja picked up the stone. It was warm. She pressed it to her chest and the stone fused there, its power keeping her soul bound to the mortal realm and also feeding her energy from the endless strength of Sasha’s love. He’d always be with her. She caressed the rock, enjoying the incongruent texture with the softness of her new skin, and she smiled some more.

But the time for woolgathering was past. She needed to find a mirror and see what Sasha had given her to work with. Then she had to find her idiot son and bring that self-righteous bitch Grace to heel. The latter would destroy Seraphim Stregaria, which was something Nadja had been looking forward to for a very long time.
