Jake was gazing down at Bethany's sleeping form. She had the face of an angel. Her aura was bright, so maybe she was an angel after all.
The moment he saw her he fell in love. She was admirable. Everything about her made him joyous. He would smack himself if he ever thought for a second that someone as angelic has her would love someone as demonic as him.
She's in love with that stupid, bloody human.
He caressed her cheek, brushed his thumb against her lips, and carefully sweeped her bangs from her face.
They would be together. He would make sure of that. Every single day of his eternal life he would fight for her love. If it meant getting rid of the one she loves, then so be it. Xavier was her first love, her intended to be her last.
He gave her a tender kiss on the forehead. Before jumping out the window. And soon, he will win her heart.
