Dark Flame ti-4
Page 26
I lean against him, pressing my head into the hollow of his shoulder as I gaze up at the house, seeing the light in Sabine's room go off and squeezing Damen's hand when I say, "Romy and Rayne were right. You know, about the magick. That used for selfish and nefarious reasons it'll result in karma that comes back times three."
We shift, our gaze meeting as the air hangs heavy between us.
"The first was when I was forced into that situation with Haven and I changed her-turned her into an adversary bent on destroying me. The second was my attraction to Roman-the dark flame that burned inside me. And now-and now this-Roman-the death of his soul and along with it, the death of the antidote." I look at him. "I mean, that is the three, right? Or was my attraction to him just me? A monster of my own making, a shadow of me that already existed and now there's still another one out there-somewhere-waiting for just the right moment to boomerang back at us? Something we won't even see coming until it's too late?"
I fight to catch my breath, suddenly overcome by panic, the foreboding feeling that it's not over yet, there's more out there, and it's headed our way.
Soon comforted by the feel of his strong arms holding me tightly, his tingle and heat, and the knowledge that there's now a brilliant, white light shining inside me. And because of it, because of everything I've been through, I'm now strong enough to meet it-my karma, my destiny-in whatever form it may take. .
Damen's warm breath at my ear, echoing my thoughts when he says, "Either way, we'll ride it out together. That's how it is with soul mates. That's just what they do."
