Déjà vu washes over me as shadows curl under the bathroom door.

I stare at my reflection in the mirror. Dark circles ring underneath my eyes.

Panic strikes my chest as my pulse thrums in my ears.

“Ruthless,” I call out his name and pick up the bottle. Dumping the pills out in my hand, I go through the motions. Swallowing them down and chasing them with tap water.

I sink down into the warm water in the bathtub and glance to my right, sensing a presence but unable to see him.

“I belong to you.” I drag a razor across my wrist.

My vision goes black and when I open my eyes, I’m back in his arms.

“What was that?”

“Our soul bond is complete.”

I shudder and a tear rolls down my cheek.

“Never do that to me again.” I touch one of his horns and he shivers in pleasure, then kisses me.

“Let’s finish this in private,” he tells me, touching his forehead to mine and we transport in a flash to a bed where I’m still in his arms and he’s still inside me.

I belong to Ruthless.

He’s mine and I am his.

For eternity.

The end for now.
