NovelEnglishChapter One Hundred and fourthen +25 BONUS Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen THANE My eyes locked on Riley, and I sprinted toward her with every ounce of strength I had left. Then I spotted Bella- her hand raised, a dagger in her grip. No one had noticed her until the blade was in the air.
Everything seemed to slow as I watched in horror. The dagger struck its mark before I could get to her, embedding itself deep in Riley's chest. It pierced through her heart, the blade tip jutting out. Riley staggered, her eyes wide with shock, and my breath caught in my throat.
Daemon snarled, picking Bella up like she weighed nothing he bit into her neck. But a smile remained on her face.
"I accept your rejection." Her mouth formed the words right before Daemon tore her head off her shoulders.
Blood dribbled from her mouth "Thane..." "I'm here." I said to her.
"Ethan... he is... find him..." she coughed. "Am I dying?" she asked, and I shook my head. "No, no, you aren't..." "You-you are finally free." She muttered before her eyes shut and she stopped moving.

"Riley! Wake up!" Mistakes.
I had made a lot of mistakes, but the day I had let Bella go free, the day I had showed her mercy, would forever be the worst mistake I had ever made.
I pulled the dagger from her. It was made of silver.
She was dead; she died because of me; she died because of my mistake.
I roared, a cry of pain, sorrow, and loss escaping my lips.
And then all I felt was rage. This tnot even blood could satisfy it.
"Thane." Bruce called, cautiously approaching me. "Than" I slashed widely at him; he dodged, but he wasn't fast enough. He clutched his injured arm to his chest.
My gaze returned back to Riley's limp form.
It couldn't happen. She couldn't die. I wouldn't let it.
"You're a Warlock," I said to Bruce, trying to keep calm. "Can't you cast a damn spell or do something?" "I wish there was something I could do. Jade is better acquainted with things like this, and she just left. Even if she were here, she wouldn't be able to do a thing." The sorceress, she had been here... she still lives?" "She does, but she is gone now." 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen "Find her, I don't care what has to be done." Bruce nodded and headed back to his building.
Daemon had been completely quiet. Slowly he walked forward, staring at Riley's corpse like he couldn't believe his own sight. I growled at him when he tried coming closer "How was Bella still alive?" he asked.
"I spared her life." I confessed.

"And she claimed hers. You say I am dangerous, but your mistake always put her in danger, and now... she is erin dead. You should have stayed in the cave. Maybe she would still be alive."
Once, I would never let a demon speak toin that manner, but now, even I could agree that he was right.
If I had killed Bella, if I hadn't let what F I felt get in the way, none of this would have ever happened. This was all my fault, and that's why it was up toto correct it. She couldn't die.
"I was able to contact the sorceress; she hadn't gone too o far she said she would meet you by the Azure Hollow; it's only a small distance from here." Inodded, picking up Riley's body.
"Alpha. I beg you not to expect anything; I love my daughter, and I wish anything could be done, but she is dead." "She isn't dead." I growled at him. He had the look of pity in his eyes, and I hated it.
"I am coming too," Daemon says.
"No, you aren't." "Did you plan to get there on foot? You need me." He was right; I needed his 'shifting' abilities to reach there as quickly as possible.
"It will be alright, Riley." I say, brushing the hair off her eyes. "You will be fine.' I kissed her lips.
