We walked through the empty mansion and emerged outside. Inola went on before me and joined the rest of the coven at the bottom of the hill in the distance.
I closed my eyes and allowed Gabriel’s euphoria to embrace me.
“Come to me, Kara.”
I opened my eyes and approached the hill. The coven parted as I walked through them, their faces no longer apathetic or hostile. Thomas winked at me from the front of the crowd as Inola leaned on his shoulder, a soft smile on her face and tears shining in her eyes.
I was not nervous when my gaze found Gabriel’s. I walked up the hill and took his outstretched hand.
With the blood moon shining down on us, Gabriel bit into his wrist and drew blood into his mouth. I did the same. He leaned down to me. Our lips touched, and we exchanged blood with the kiss.
He was my destiny, and I was finally home.
