Chapter 37

Nine months later

Seth's POV

Jaxon and I curled up next to the fireplace, engulfed in each other's arms. I rested my head on his shoulder as he ran his fingers up and down my arm comfortingly, his scent lingering in my nose.

''Hm, what would you like for dinner, Angel?'' He asked me, his deep voice breaking the silence. I tilted my head up towards him, feeling the smile lingering on my lips as he gazed down at me. He had a faint smile on his lips. His eyes were proudly glowing a bright yellow... I don't think I'll ever get sick of them.

''We don't really have anything here... we should probably go to the market tomorrow,'' I said to him. He let out a sigh at my words, pulling me closer in our embrace.

''And move from this spot? Why would I do such a thing?'' He said, placing a soft kiss onto my forehead. I couldn't help but laugh at his words...

I tilted my head up, my lips meeting his. I brought a free hand up to his cheek as I kissed him. I felt as he smiled into the kiss... I couldn't help but smile myself. I was so lucky to have him after everything that happened...

After Lilith's battle of France.

A lot has happened in the nine months after the war. There were many, many deaths. Of course, nobody in my Kingdom was injured... but many warlocks, werewolves, and any other mythical creatures were killed.

It was a very hard time. The district of Ikricaea was completely ripped to shreds due to the war... I've never seen anything like it. Everyone contributed to fixing it... but I couldn't help but feel worthless.

Jaxon and I have gained severe PTSD from the whole war. Of course, I already had it from my kidnapping with Avel, but... we couldn't bear to step foot into the kingdom anymore. It hurt me greatly, considering I was their king...

...So I stepped down from being the King. I cannot lead a Kingdom after everything I've gone through. I know it sounds weak... but every time I tried to step into that castle I just broke down in tears. Every time I step foot into the place I've grown up in... I'd go into a state where I'd just keep crying. Jaxon and I would wake up in the middle of the night screaming because of the war... we just couldn't do it.

My people aren't angry with me. I left the Kingdom with one final speech... I told them of the loss we had that day. I told them of the blood that was shed. I didn't tell them what I had done, for the sake of the children's ears... but they are aware that it may have been one of the most disgusting battles in our dimension's history.

I have given the king's crown over to Jules... and my mother's crown to Estelle. They have been ruling the Kingdom for eight months now. They have been taking care of the Kingdom so well... I wouldn't have been able to do it myself. Estelle still takes care of the poor and the children just fine... even with a child on the way.

One thing I could say confidently is... I brought the Kingdoms together. The mythical world... and the human world.

My people began to trust them when they fought by my side in the war. They no longer have to have walls up against each other... there is plenty of homes and new families in the mythical territory that are human... or even a mix. Plenty of people found new love with warlocks or werewolves. I find it very beautiful.

Jaxon and I decided to build our own home in the woods. Jayce and the rest have offered for us to live with them in Jayce's mansion... but we thought it was best for us to have our own space. We spent a few months building our own log cabin together. We built our home a little farther in the woods than the rest... when we go to the market in my kingdom, it takes us at least thirty minutes to walk there. Of course, we could use Jaxon's portals or my shadow traveling... but we enjoy the time we have together.
