This is my first ever FanFic, and I hope you enjoy! Remember to review! :)

I do not own any of these characters or the Iron Fey Series (but I wish I did!)

Was marrying the Iron King worth saving the entire Nevernever? The lives I could save, Ash and Puck, and everyone else… I glanced at Ash, and found him looking as sick and horrified as I felt. "Meghan, no," he said, as if reading my own thoughts. "You don't have to do this."

Deep down, I knew I did. It was the only way to keep them safe, my family and friends, and that was all that mattered. Ash looked at me with distress and distraught in his eyes as he realised what my decision was.

"No," Ash pleaded me, knowing however, that I was not about to change my mind. I had already lost him once, and I was in no hurry to let that happen again. "Don't do this Meghan; there must be some other way!"

I turned to him, and looked him in the eye. "Ash," I whispered softly in his ear. "You are my one and only love, the love of my life. Can't you see? I have to do this, and it will keep you alive. You mean too much to me, and I am not going to lose you again. Never again." I kissed him softly, forgetting about our audience.

Puck cleared his throat, looking pained and embarrassed at mine and Ash's embrace. He clearly still had feelings for me, and I loved him too, but as a friend, nothing more. I wanted him to let go, to leave his feelings for me behind and move on. Rowan laughed at Puck and took a step forward. "So, do we have a deal?"

I glanced at Ash. He wasn't looking at me, looking anywhere but at me. He was angry, but I had no choice. I had people to protect. I took one last look at Puck, who nodded at me, but his face was drained of emotion. He didn't seem to like this idea, either.

I turned to Rowan. "We do. Puck and Ash are to remain unharmed, and the same goes for the Summer and Winter Fey." He nodded, and turned to Ash. "Although, I am going to miss torturing my brother… What will we do about that now, hmm?" he laughed and stepped to the side. "After you, Princess…"

Sorry it's so short, but more chapters will be on their way! :) Any thoughts on how I can make them better?
