"So stand firm, my love. The world still needs a hero to save it. And no matter what happens, you will not be alone—for I will be right there beside you."
"…"
My heart grew full from Liv's love and affection. No matter how fake my beginning was. Meeting, Liv. Working through our issues, fighting by her side, and falling madly in love with her. Was all me.
Her words rang true. Regardless of whether we fell in love due to a curse. Everything we did while we were under it would still remain. Just like this Northerner will love me for how I saved her homeland, I would still love her as she is my shield and my woman.
Unable to stop myself, I grabbed her waist and yanked her towards me. A fire burned in my heart. Once that threatened to consume me. As Liv was taller, it was awkward to initiate a kiss. But none of that mattered.
