Epilogue
Cassie
Maddox and I were curled up in bed watching actors, not on a stage, but somehow recorded and placed on the screen in our chambers. The story we watched was about a brave young man who’d been orphaned and rose to the highest ranks of elite warriors on Everis, falling in love with a beautiful marked mate along the way.
It was exhilarating, a mix of adventure and romance and Maddox pointed out the scenery and explained to me what I was seeing. His world. Everis. The sky was a beautiful pale hue that shifted from purple to blue; according to Maddox, the color shifted with the temperature or the season. The trees were huge, much like I imagined the giant redwoods of California I’d heard about. I couldn’t wait to see his world with my own eyes.
Beep-beep-beep.
Maddox sighed
