Cruel Fortunes Omnibus: Volumes One to Four
Page 95
As soon as we made it across the street, I tilted my face to his, and his mouth came down on mine. I tingled from my head to my toes, happiness coursing through my veins. Then he grew serious.
“I know what you were thinking back there, Aeval.”
“Really?”
“Yes, and ye mustn’t think it because she’s mine. Alanna is my child.”
“How can you be so sure?”
“Well, for one thing—she’s the spitting image of me.
I did have to give him that. Seeing Elena as a grown woman had been a shock. She was basically the female version of Cullen, but that wasn’t complete proof. “Many kids look like their aunts and uncles.” I replied.
“Ah well, this one looks like her Da.” He smirked. “I asked Sandra right before she passed on.”
“When you ran to help her, you mean?”
“I knew that ye needed to know the truth of it, whether ye admitted it or not. And she confirmed that Liam never raped you. She made that up so that you would give the book to her.”
Though I couldn’t cry, I felt the sting of tears behind my eyes; it was so good, so very right to hear those words. I’d always known the truth inside. Liam had not violated me, and Alana was in fact Cullen’s baby, and yet to hear those two facts confirmed lifted the pit of darkness from my stomach.
“Where are you taking me—off on another adventure?” I asked with a grin as he set me in the front seat of his truck.
Cullen made a noise in his throat. His eyes were intently on me. “I’m takin’ ye to bed, Aeval—that is the only adventure I’m interested in ever again.”
The End.
Authors Note:
Thank you for reading my omnibus. Writing this series has been an incredible adventure for me. I have a penchant for time travel, castles, spooky old houses riddled with secret rooms and lost journals and I tend to include one or both in all of my stories. Fingers crossed you love all of these things too. Fun fact, this was the first series I ever wrote. It was originally titled something else and this baby is now thirteen years old. They grow up so fast, don’t they?
I hope you enjoy Sophia’s witchy adventures. If you do, please tell someone. Word of mouth is still the best way to discover fabulous new reads. Reviews are also a great way to tell others about the books that you’ve enjoyed and they keep me going.
Please, please leave a review. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
