CHAPTER 51: Goodbye
It didn't take long to find the others. They had wiped out the entire coven, taking no prisoners. As promised, Raze and Valerian had kept Sonja safe. When she caught sight of them, Sonja ran to Lucian's side. Sobbing, she held on to him tightly, oblivious to the wounds covering him. Lucian too wrapped his arms around his frail wife, whispering to her quietly. Unable to watch, Alex turned away. She'd leave it up to Lucian to explain everything to Sonja.
Surprisingly, she found Valerian watching the reunited couple. He looked as sad and defeated as she felt. He was a kindred spirit who was also losing the most important thing in the world to him.
Daniel and Sterling quickly located her, ready to follow her back home. To her relief, they had suffered only minor injuries during the battle. They too would survive, just as she would.
When all was said and done, Yolanda and Valerian wanted to go back to the States with them. No longer were they needed here. Their job was done, their mission complete. It was time to go. They gathered their things and left.
She felt nauseous and lonely as she walked out of the mansion. She hadn't felt the need to say goodbye; couldn't stand the thought of it really. Her life had changed irrevocably, she had changed physically as well as mentally and lost the only person she had ever loved. What else was there to say?
