AUTHOR NOTE: If you want to share the experience I had writing this scene, try listening to "Ashes of Eden" by Breaking Benjamin while you read it. Oh, and you might want to bring the tissues. #SorryNotSorry

Please… Elia prayed. Please! You didn't say you would save me only to take him!

The cave seemed to darken as she lay there, helpless and sobbing, watching the life seep out of her vibrant, massive mate. Watching him suddenly reduced to a limp, quivering rag, she shook her head, unable to accept it.

He was too big. Too strong. Too… too Reth. He was still young! He couldn't die! Not like this!

It was surreal. Reth lay naked on his back, his arms splayed out slightly from his sides. His huge feet falling to the sides, jiggling as his body was shaken by Aymora, straddling his waist, and shoving at his chest with her entire strength.
