Fractured: A Dark Fantasy Novella of Loss & Redemption
Page 8
With a laugh I opened my arms wide toward the sky and proclaimed for all the world to hear. “I won!”
Epilogue
Some things still hold true, no matter how much I wish they would fade.
Like scars...
Prominent on your skin.
They never disappear. A constant reminder.
Some wounds never heal.
But maybe, just maybe, you can find love and redemption. Maybe you can find a soul that binds to your own and fills the empty places inside you with more than you could ever hope for. Maybe forgiveness, of our own personal failures, of ourselves, is the most important thing of all.
Maybe love truly was the only thing that mattered.
I knew my heart had found the one who would complete me, in every way when I saw Kellen’s devotion at my side.
My eyes fluttered and opened, my entire vision dominated by the face of the one I loved. He was with me now, in every locked door inside my head, in every dark corner of my ravaged heart, in every space of my once empty soul. I might have been fractured by my past but now, with the strength of his love and my newfound freedom, I was becoming whole.
Kellen leaned down and pressed his lips to mine in a tender but passionate kiss. “I love you Renee. Don’t ever leave me. I’d die without you and I nearly did. From this moment we hold on and let nothing come between us again.”
The hope in his eyes dashed the last of my fears as he slipped a diamond engagement ring on my finger, the one from so long ago. The ring he held in the box the day he found Seasnan and me, when our world shattered and fell apart. “I kept it all this time Renee. It was always supposed to be yours.”
Tears of joy filled my eyes. I never really lost him, even when I thought I had. How was I so lucky?
My heart beat fiercely within my breast as I realized I was loved and accepted, forgiven and redeemed. In Kellen’s arms I was home.
We would face the future together, as one. The way we were meant and fated to be.
“I love you too Kellen. Stay with me. Always.”
“Always,” he agreed, and sheltered me within his forgiving and healing embrace.
Always.
Wasn’t that full of wonderful opportunity?
