“Would you consider staying in this world?”
“Can I have both? I want both.” She looked like she really was considering that concept.
“Both, you’d want both?”
“My grandma is a part of this world. I was devastated when she died. She was eighty six at the time and I knew she was old and would leave me soon, but it didn’t make it any easier. No one else got me the way she did. No one else believed in me the way she did either. It was the best to see her again. How many people get that wish? To see a loved one who’s died again.”
I understood what she meant. I got that wish when I saw my parents.
They died after Malachi and I were accepted into the Knighthood. We didn’t see them again until we became sentinels.
It felt like a reward to me. Malachi too.
I definitely understood what she meant. I guess I would want both too if I had someone special in the human realm.
There were many beings that lived in the human realm. It was the way they wanted it to be. There was no reason why she couldn’t have both. The problem would lie with how she managed to live both lives.
“A lot of people have both.”
“Really? So it’s possible?”
“I’m fairly certain you’d be able to have both.” Talking was helping. It was stopping me from freaking out, because right now my sketchy plan was exactly that. Sketchy and uncertain.
I’d thought about what we’d do when we got to the Shadowlands, but not the technicalities of it. And I hadn’t thought about what we would do now.
If Balmora and the necromancer flew out from nowhere right now and took Alyssa I wouldn’t know what to do.
“Where is Picchus?” The smile came back to her beautiful face and her eyes twinkled with delight.
Her question cut into my thoughts and threw me. It threw me because she was asking about me.
“That’s where I live.”
“Will you give me an address?” Her gaze intensified.
“Oh so this desire to be in both worlds includes me too?” I teased.
“I need to check out your house first. See if I like it.”
“I knew when you kissed me you must have liked me. Such a waste of time to keep resisting something you want.” I knew she would be shocked by me saying that.
She gasped and straightened. “Hold on Mister, you kissed me. I just kissed you back.”
I didn’t argue because I did kiss her. “Thank God you didn’t resist. You tasted good.” Okay, that was my inner desire talking. My inner desire which had enough power to distract me for eons.
Of course it was stronger today because I was with the one woman I admittedly wanted so bad it made me ache.
I needed to find out more about this soul mate business.
“You tasted good too.” Her voice was just louder than a whisper. As she continued to stare a serious expression filled her face. “Dante.”
“Yes, Princess.”
“Why do I feel like I know you from somewhere? It’s weird. How is that even possible?”
I knew why, but I wouldn’t say. It was just as Malachi said, somethings were best unsaid. There were some things we shouldn’t know. In her case it may freak her out. I didn’t want to freak her out more than she already was.
“It must be your powers.”
