Wellll the chapter you all have been waiting for... I think? The question, do you guys enjoy cliff hangers.

Ariella POV
I watch as my mate drops to the ground in horror, the love of my life being the one that stabbed him.

My emotions are all over the place. I feel sad, angry, all of the above. I slowly look up in disbelief, my eyes locking with Crystals.

All of a sudden, the magical barrier keeping me in place leaves, and I feel my body drop to the ground. 

I quickly get up, and rush over next to Lucian.

I bend down to touch his neck, and I don't feel a pulse.

My breathing becomes erratic, and I feel my heartbreak. He was still my mate even though we're weren't as close as we could've been.

My heart starts beating faster.

"How could you," I say through clenched teeth.

Crystal looks at me and shrugs so that we can be together with my love; he was getting in the way.

"Getting in the way," I repeat slowly and calmly.

She flinches at the calmness in my voice.

"So, you decide to kill him." I snap at her.

"Yes, I couldn't let faking my dea-." She stops and covers her mouth. 

My eyes instantly snap up at her.

"What did you say," I ask, barely audible.

She continues to look at me, not say a word.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY," I scream at her.

"I-I I couldn't let faking my own death be for nothing." She states almost proudly.

"B-but you told m-." I was cut off

"I know what I told you, and I lied; if you knew what I did, you'd be angry, but you know me, I can never keep up a lie." She shrugs and smiles innocently at me.

"How could you," I yell

"Do you know what I went through how many people I killed all because you "died" I scream

"Why would you do that..." I say, utterly defeated.

A flash of regrets flashes through her eyes, and then it's gone, "that's not important." She says coldly

All of a sudden, the sweet innocent Crystal that I knew and standing in front of me was a completely different person.

"What happened to you," I say disgustingly.

She laughs maniacally, "oh, you know torture, basic stuff like that."

"Your crazy," I say to her while slowly backing up.

"I want you to leave," I say to her, determined to drag her out if need be.

Her laughing stops, and she looks at me blankly.

"I WENT THROUGH HELL AND BACK ALL SO I CAN BE WITH YOU AND NOW THAT I HAVE IM NEVER LETTING GO." She yells down at me.

My eyes go black with anger at this, and I lunge at her with intent to harm.

She dodges me with incomprehensible speed. She faster than me, I think, but not before I feel myself being pushed to the ground. She has me pinned down on the grass with my hands above my head.

In any other situation, I'd be turned on, but right now, I'm afraid for myself. Which is something I've never been because I've always been the strongest when push comes to shove?
