Chapter 167: Chapter 167: Death To Those We Love

Cassie.

I had never given much thought to how I die, but being faced with it now, I finally realized why it was my parents loved so fiercely. At any point in time, you could walk out the front door and never come home. Fate didn’t pick sides, and it never made things fair, but in the end, we learned to live with the futures we were given because, as my mother always said, things happen for a reason.

Watching Lucas walk towards me with the jade dagger in his hand, my heart broke. The moment he realized what he did, he would regret it for the rest of his life because even though Inanna had her claws in him and he tried to reject me, I knew he still felt our bond.

Glancing towards Inanna, who was taking out candles and preparing the altar, to which she would free Loki, I decided to try one more time to get through to Lucas. There was no way he could be unreachable, and with a heavy breath, I focused.

The pull of our slightly broken bond told me he was still there.
