Chapter 418:

“It was never my intention. Giving you your freedom was the only decision I could make then. Letting whatever we had between us continue… it was ill-advised for so many reasons.” His tone was overflowing with remorse.

“I’m soulless, Aekeira. That alone made it impossible. I’m also on a highway to madness, another reason. And you… you are human. You are not Syren. Even if I had my soul, it’s not possible for a bond to take place between us. When Daemon offered to set you free, I thought it was best.”

Hearing it laid out like that, Aekeira understood.

Frankly, she had thought of all this herself over the years. She could understand why he did what he did. Yet, understanding didn’t lessen the pain.

“And now?” she whispered. “What about now?”

“Now, I regret that decision more than anything. I sent you away so you would not see me go feral, but when it came down to it, you were all I wanted by my side. As I battled against it, I found myself hoping—praying—that I would recover enough to cross into the human world and bring you back here, Aekeira, to where you truly belong.”

He looked her in the eyes. “I wish I’d never let you go.”
