Heart of Stone (Parts I & II)
[COMPLETE] Some bonds can't be broken, even in death.
--
He couldn't endure another heartbreak.
"Accepting her would be a mistake," he said. "She's a human. I can't afford to have her blood on my hands."
Gwen looked away, and he knew she saw the image that flashed in his mind.
The slaughter. Bodies everywhere. The putrid stench of decay and metallic blood seeping through his fingers and staining the earth under his feet. The small, lifeless body in his hands whose death he couldn't prevent.
And whose death he could never forget.
"It won't be like that with her," she murmured to the floor.
"I won't take that chance."
Heavy with sorrow, her brown eyes looked up into his. "Not everyone is given a second chance. Take it."
--
Soulmates only come along once in a lifetime.
Or so everyone thought.
She was his second chance.
But her heart loved another.
Fate would bring them together, and Fate would tear them apart.
