front of me. He cupped my face gently. “And I would give it to you right now if that is what you wanted, because a life without you...” He shook his head and didn’t finish his sentence. “I’m sorry about that kiss. I didn’t know…” He didn’t finish his sentence.
Didn’t know what?
“I’ll be whatever you need me to be, whether it is a brother figure, a friend—whatever you need. I will never ever hurt you like that day on the mountain again. I would rather kill myself than betray your trust.”
A stray tear rolled over my cheek as his words finally hit me. This was his apology for treating me like crap all those years. He pulled me into his chest. “Don’t cry, please. You’ve cried enough.” A small grunt left his lips. “I would give anything to hear your thoughts again. I fucked up and I don’t know how to fix it. I don’t know how to mend it.”
“I could never hear yours, except those times you wanted me to hear it.”
I could hear the smile in his voice as he spoke. “Yeah, I was a big fucking idiot. I’ll fix it, Elena. I promise. Somehow I’ll get it back.”
He hugged me tighter.
I wanted to trust this so much. He’d poured his heart out to me and a part of me still waited for him to wake up and tell me that he didn’t want me. But a part of me was wondering about the Viden’s first words in the Book of Shadows. Everyone thought it was ours, and if Blake really felt the way he did, then maybe they were not too crazy to think it. Just maybe it could be because Blake was the last person—dragon—on this earth that would say anything like that to any girl.
WE STAYED ON that mountain for a long time, just talking about everything.
He told me a lot about what had happened during the time I was stuck in Etan.
He gave the Council the slip so many times. They wanted to have meetings with him badly, but he refused to meet them because he was searching for me.
I now felt bad about the way I’d treated him when he’d found me in the hospital. He’d wanted to see me so badly and I didn’t want anything to do with him.
Still, he’d given me what I needed, space far away from him, even though it must’ve been hard for him.
How that made him feel, well I could just ask and he would tell me in detail.
Lucian came up again. It was a topic he really struggled with too, but he’d been dark back then. He’d wanted me dead, not Lucian.
I huffed. “Have you ever imagined how hard it would’ve been on him if he was still alive?” I asked as I laid my head on his stomach, soaking up the sun’s rays.
He pushed himself up and looked down at me through squinted eyes. “Hard on him?”
“Yeah,” I said and pushed myself up too. I’d never really thought about it. Lucian had said that he was glad to be dead because it would’ve been the hardest thing for him, knowing that I would choose Blake at the end.
Blake’s chin rested on the back of my shoulder. “You would’ve left Lucian to be with me?”
I sucked in lips. “I might, I don’t know.”
He smiled. “And here I was scared that I didn’t stand a chance if he was still alive.”
“Oh believe me, Lucian told me about this side of you and how he would never have stood a chance.”
He chuckled. “I really miss him, you know?”
“I do too.”
Our gaze locked and I felt lost again. But he broke it just as his watched beeped. My head cleared at once.
“Wait, what time is it?”
Blake laughed. “You worried about school? I seriously need to share my opinions about princess perks.”
“I’m not that kind of a princess, Blake.” I sighed. “In fact I really suck at being one.”
He kissed the tip of my nose softly, which made me feel all sorts of things I thought were lost. “You? Never.”
I blushed.
“But if you want to go back, I’m a bit hungry myself. We’ll get back just in time for dinner.”
“Dinner!” I yelled and got up. “We were here that
