Kali:
I fell to my knees, gasping for air.
I knew this was coming, yet it still took me by surprise.
It is the pain. The pain never hurts less, and you never forget or get used to it.
I've lost them the same way every time.
Their lives slip through my fingers with every jump, and I curse myself for our bond not being the kind where the couples mark and mate on the spot. And because it isn't, because we never manage to mark and mate, I lose Asmodeus to a poisonous arrow through his heart, and then I lose Uriel in the battle that comes after.
I always try to do something to change it, and it never works. I wish I had known that this was it.
I wish I had known this was the moment that the Coven would cross our border. If I had, I would have stopped them when they left to speak alone
