Ah, he can consider those gifts from my world.
I hand him two glowing stones, which he takes with care since the other two fallen souls reside within them. “Please work with Skull on this project.” I already showed Onyx how to handle the reincarnation of the spirits.
All he has to do is gift the rock to a worthy and willing mated pair, and the life will be reborn.
Perhaps not the way it was before, but there wasn’t much else I could do.
The only reason Onyx is standing before me now as he once was is because of his royal bloodline. He’s an extremely powerful Corpse Fae, which allowed him to survive in my world for longer than most. If Maliki were to ever die, his soul would do the same.
He would hold on, then wait for me to find him and bring him back.
Unfortunately, not everyone possesses the same strengths in the afterlife.
And death… is complicated.
“Thank you,” Onyx mutters, this time with a bit more feeling in his words.
“Just take care of those souls” is all I say before engaging my mist.
Then I realize one more task I need to give him.
Turning corporeal, I add, “And reach out to Typhos so he knows I brought you back.”
Because I don’t have time to waste on a call with the Hell Fae King right now.
I haven’t seen Serapina in nearly two days. I need to put eyes on her, just to make sure she’s all right.
Deep down, I know she’s fine. I would feel it if she were hurt or in pain. But I… I simply want to see her. Maybe talk to her, too.
There’s so much to say.
So much to work through.
So much tounderstand.
But the moment I materialize in my cavern, I realize all that is going to have to wait.
Because Morpheus’s scent iseverywhere.
In my room.
In the hallway.
In the kitchen.
In my guest room—which is the only space I don’t completely mind.
All over the beach and the items he clearly manifested formymate.
And…
And where are you now?I wonder, searching for his essence as well as that of my mate.
My teeth clench when I realize they’retogether, their mingled souls stirring a growl inside me that I barely contain as I mist myself to their location.
Air ripples around me when the sight of them unveils before my eyes.
A sight I will never unsee.
