Slipping the dress down the epitome of all beauty, I could feel intense coldness from her body. The faded color of her eyes and even the palest skin she possesses doesn’t change the fact that I love her for all I know.
“Selene...” My voice echoed as I buttoned up her dress and lay her softly on her coffin.
My eyes were only pierced on her reminiscing all the challenges and happy memories we shared. She was finally mine...
She was finally beside me...
We were finally the same...
We were finally together...
We finally became a family...
She was my princess. My queen. My life. My reason for moving forward.
My everything.
She was the perfect woman in my eyes as far as history is concerned, be it the human her or the vampire her.
Selene was still Selene until the end.
I damped my lips on her forehead as they closed the glass coffin filled with white roses.
I carried the fruit of our love from her sister’s arms and hugged her tightly seeing my wife slowly transferred to her final destination. She was the best thing that has ever happened to me and next is our child.
The soldiers trumpeted the saddest notes as the gates were forever closed and never be opened for a royalty’s rest in peace... Until the future that Selene will wake up again...
I was enveloped by pain and darkness but I will never forget her and cherish all the times we were beside each other.
And I know in myself that all these tears were never wasted even if she left me.
Were shed for the right person... Because every vampire from both clans will remember her—her smile, her warmth, her sweetness, her craziness, her pain, and her decisions. She sacrificed herself to change the rotten future we may face and distorted it so we could live as we used to. And all the vampires who followed my daughter, Selene Adrasteia Ambrogio-Heathly, will see how great her mother Selene Ambrogio-Heathly was.
The journey we faced ended, but a new set of chapters opened up and will continue forever and ever... and I will wait until we reconcile and fulfill our promises.
As far as the so-called eternity could take us.
END.
