Chapter 45: Chapter 45: Sealed Fate

Ivy POV

I knew the moment that he kissed me he felt something, and by the look on his face when he pulled away, I knew without a doubt he was confused by what was going on.

Why wouldn't he be?

From what I had learned from Caleb, if the bond had not been completed, then it was stripped from us all, and I was no longer bound to them.

I would have a chance at a new life… or better yet, I could decide my fate.

"Damian," I whispered, "you have to see that what we were told wasn't the truth. What the prophecy said was up for interpretation."

Shaking his head, he cast his glance towards Kate, who looked just as shocked as he was.

"Don't look at me. This is all far beyond my concept of anything. I can call my father, though. Perhaps he may know something."

Kate quickly moved from her chair and made her way from my hospital room. Damian's eyes still staring at the spot where she had once sat, not a word coming from his mouth.
