Esmerelda’s POV
I was standing in the middle of a dark shrouded room. Only two beings were present aside from myself. One was a faceless man who looked broken and shattered. Her heart ached to hold him close and comfort him. To never allow him to feel this way again. The other was a woman, a goddess to be more exact. She could tell just by the aura and power radiating off of the woman.
I could hear the soft whispers of the Goddess. She was trying to bring the man peace, but he didn’t want it. He wanted to die and end his suffering. “You must not lose faith, young prince. Your mate is out there and waiting for you to find her. You can’t allow the actions of a snake to dictate your destiny.” The goddess spoke in a gentle yet firm voice.
“I don’t want a mate anymore! I don’t deserve her.
