Chapter 160
76. The Sounds of the Night
SKYLA.
The moon has risen, but despite the silence of the night, everyone is awake in the Rossi mansion.
I can hear the quiet conversations, the deep discussions, the occasional shout.
Out here, I can also hear the sound of insects in the garden. The soft wind is blowing through the trees and the passing comments and commands of the guards and others around can be heard.
This feeling… it’s unexplainable…
I feel… content, sorrowful and…different.
I don’t even know how to explain it.
I’m sitting on the back steps, staring out into the night sky. I’ve done this so many times in my life, but today I feel like I’m no longer the Sky I once was…
My eyes sting and I tug at the sleeves of my long -sleeved top as I exhale slowly.
Some things just stay… changing you even.
I killed my given mate. It’s… an odd feeling…
I know I’m not a monster. I had to do what I had to and to break the hold Apophis had on him, and on this planet, I had to end him.
He didn’t care for me, and that was proven in those last moments. 2
He wasn’t bothered about me… but he was shocked that his brother helped kill him…
Royce is quieter, and I don’t blame him. I want to be there for him, and I will be, but he’s also being that rock for his family. Even Charlotte cried, despite refusing to let a sound escape her. 1
He’s with his mother right now, and she needs him.
She’s down on the firepower right now, and I know we will see that fiery warrior Luna again one day, but for now, she needs to heal… 2
I stare at the sky, resting my head against the door frame.
Life.
It’s painful, beautiful, terrifying, yet for those of us who get to live another day, it’s precious…
“Meow.”
I smile as Malevolent jumps into my lap, and I cuddle her tightly. 1
“Hey Mal…” I say, stroking her head as she purrs in approval.
At least on this journey of life, I’ll always have her and Royce.
I turn when I hear footsteps behind me, sensing Raihana before I see her.
She pauses when she spots me. She’s wearing an oversize cardigan over her tiny sports bra and shorts, her arms wrapped around herself.
“Sorry, I didn’t realise our lioness was out here.” She says with a small smile, about to leave when I stand up.
“You don’t need to leave.”
She turns back.
“Are you sure?”
She’s lost weight, and call me fucking crazy, but I feel her eyes have aged if that even makes sense.
I nod as I walk over to her, gently letting
Malevolent down.
“I’m sorry… about Chris,” I say, ok I’m not a hugger but… I step forward, awkwardly hugging her.
She relaxes and wraps her arms around me, giving me a squeeze.
She whispers, but I
