RedNovelChapter 617: "Give yourself a break,” she interrupted in a small voice as she nuzzled against his neck, ravenously breathing in his familiar scent. "Doone favor. Stop hating yourself. Stop the guilt, the anger. We have been through far worse. We'll get through this... together." "No, there is nothing worse than this. There is..." a shaky breath. "I have prepared a special carriage and entourage to see you hsafely." Emeriel bit her lip.

I wanted to keep you for myself. But my mind is unstable again, Emeriel. What I did to you... I cannot bear the thought of it happening again." She pulled back just enough to look him in the eyes, cupping his face. Her palms were warm against his cool skin as she tilted his head so he couldn't look away.
"I am going to say this once. Just once. And I want you to listen to me, Daemon. Truly listen.” His conflicted eyes searched hers.
"First of all, I knew exactly what I was getting into when I fell in love with you," she stated firmly. "For the Light- Gods' sake, I loved your mad beast first. Did you hear me?" "Your mindless, raging, mad beast was my first love. Do you know what that means?” She let the words settle. "It means I never expected this to be all bed and roses. Our love has thorns, and that's okay. I love you, Grand King Daemonikai, and we will fight this-whatever it is." Her eyes bore into his, letting him see all the fight and determination in her tattered soul. "So, that carriage you have prepared? Use it to ship your guilt, sadness, and anger to the human lands, because I'm not going anywhere. I will be right by your side." "You do not understand, Emeriel." Her male shook his head in sheer misery. "This is not a one-toccurrence. It will not just pass." She stopped breathing. "What?" A heavy sigh of defeat. "A few days ago, I began to feel strange again. I had Wegai bringthe strongest chains we have to restrainin my chambers. When I regained awareness... I was in my beast form again." The thought of him losing himself that way again was completely terrifying. For one tiny moment, a small, uncertain voice-—the voice of the girl whose body had been put through the unimaginable-whispered, "Run. Take his offer and run far away." "I see the fear in your eyes," his agonized voice was rough. "Oh, Emeriel... where do we go from here, when I put you right back in a place where you have to fearagain?” Her throat worked tightly. Do not waver. Do not falter.

"We will get through this," she said firmly, spoken as much for herself as for him am not running like a ΕΠ coward."
"Running does not make you a coward. It makes you a survivor." With self-loathing, he added, "Run, Emeriel. Run far away beyond where these cursed hands can ever touch you again. If I have to resort to binding myself in chains laced with dragonblood and scented leaves from the Forest of Abadin, then you'll know things have truly spiraled beyond my control."
