He made Singe stand and they exited the room, Raze giving Lucian a nod before they disappeared. The second the left, Lucian's arms wrapped around my tiny frame. "Esmeralda...I don't want to loose you." He whispered, kissing me lightly. I tasted the salt of his tears.

"Who's Sonja?" I asked, wiping the tears from his face. He didn't answer. "Lucian, who is she?" He looked into my eyes and I realized. "Your lover."
