"If I die here, I will kill you too. You'll never survive!"
Rowan's pain and anger filled voice echoed inside of the forest. His wolf died while fighting and now he only has himself. Without his wolf, it was so hard for him to continue this but he ignored it and used all his strength as he fought with Savater. Rowan was getting weak, he was badly injured. Blood leaked through his body and he was painted in red.
But he was not upset, just like he was injured, Savater was also badly injured. Rowan knew that Savater would not be alive for more time with the way he fell on the ground with his body covered with blood. Once Savater is dead, all the vampires in the kingdom will die too. So that means he can get his kingdom back. He didn't want to be unsuccessful after everything, he would release his people even if it cost his life.
It was already dawn and the sun would rise soon but before that, Rowan wanted to finish everything and go back soon, he felt Arabella was giving birth soon. He could feel it and he knew it. Even if his wolf was not there, he could still feel their bond but he felt that Arabella was getting weak and weaker. Just because he went there and put his strength to her, she's getting weak.
He didn't expect something like this would happen. That's why he fucking went there and share the strength with Arabella. So now he was weak and that affected Arabella. He was scared, he didn't want anything to happen to her. He wanted to go back as soon as possible but he didn't know how to get there quickly without his wolf. Tears filled in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and bent down as he started to punch Savater's face.
He was merciless and he was angry as he punched. He didn't care about any other thing. He knew that he was dying but he didn't want to die without killing Savater. He punched until Savater died. After killing him, Rowan felt that he won the fucking world. He avenged his parents and all the dead people of his. And he avenged the men who died for him over these seven months.
Moving away from Savater's dead body, Rowan dragged himself away from him and rested his back against a tree. His breaths were heavy and his breaths were clumsy as he felt the suffocation in his chest. Soon he felt Arabella was giving birth. His lips slowly curled upwards and he looked up at the sky with a smile on his face.
His mouth was covered with blood and he was all red. Feeling that she was giving birth, he tried to breathe while his heart grew heavier making it hard to breathe. Moving his hand, he placed it against his chest which was pierced by Savater's sharp dagger like nails. Blood rushing out of his chest and tears rolled down from his eyes with helplessness. He knew one thing and it was that he would not be able to see his son and Arabella.
"Bella… I'm.. so sorry"
He whispered looking at the sky. He was in pain and he was scared. He wanted to see her and he felt that she was in pain. He felt she was struggling to give birth, it was all because he became weak at this point. His body trembled as he started to sob. He was not someone who cries but today, he was sobbing helplessly.
But he was happy that he killed Savater and saved both Arabella and his son but at the same time he was hurting because he was going to leave both of them soon. With that thought, he clenched his fists and closed his eyes. Suddenly, Rowan's eyes snapped open as he felt Arabella's heart stopping. Horror took over him and he tried to get up but he couldn't. His body shivered.
"NO!"
He painfully screamed as he felt Arabella dying while his son came into the world. His all hopes shattered and he collapsed against the tree again as his eyes let out blood tears. His eyes were also bleeding and there was no way for him to explain how hurt he was. Rowan gritted his teeth and tried to get up and go to Arabella but he couldn't even do it because his body was numb and trembling.
She died… she fucking died! He felt it, he knew it. It was all because of him. If he didn't go to her and didn't share his strength with her this thing wouldn't have happened to her. It was such a painful thing. Slowly his vision turned dark and he moved his eyes and looked at Edwin who was laying on the ground lifelessly. Seeing him, Rowan sighed. Everything happened because of the betrayal but he was still satisfied with the fact that he killed Savater and saved his people from vampires.
But at the same time, his heart was dying with the thought that Arabella is no longer alive but he felt that his son was healthy and strong. Rowan rested his head against the tree and stared ahead with countless thoughts in his mind. Soon he heard the sound of footsteps. His eyes sharpened and he turned his head to look at who was coming. Then a little girl came and stopped in front of him.
His vision was getting blurred but he looked at the girl to see that she was Arabella. He chuckled seeing the girl who was looking at him and he couldn't help but remember the first day he saw her. The same dress and the same cute face. As he chuckled she moved closer to him and giggled. Rowan knew that he was imagining this but he loved seeing her. Raising his hand, he slowly touched her face and caressed it. The blood in his hands painted her creamy white face.
"Let's go Rowan.."
Touching his hand and taking it, she muttered. Tears filled in his eyes and he forcefully smiled at her. Then he nodded but at the same time he remembered about his newborn son. Arabella is also gone, so if he left too, what will happen to his baby? He couldn't help thinking about it. He was scared to leave his baby alone as soon as he came into this world.
"Lucien will take care of him.. He will be the father."
Suddenly, with a bright smile on her face she muttered. Rowan parted his lips to talk to her but he clenched his jaws and stopped telling anything. Staring at her beautiful hazel eyes, he smiled at her and nodded. Of course, Lucien would take care of his baby.
Since Lucien helped Arabella for everything, he would never ignore the baby that Arabella gave birth to. Even if he was not the real father, he will be the father to the baby that the woman he loved gave birth to. Thinking that, Rowan sighed in relief as his vision completely turned dark. He couldn't see anything but yet, he felt Arabella was holding his hand. Interwinding his fingers together with her little fingers, he smiled.
He felt he was suffocating with the wound on his chest. He didn't try to breathe so hard, he just waited until he would no longer breathe. Rowan waited almost thirty minutes holding Arabella's little hand. Then, with a smile on his face, his heart stopped breathing and he felt his soul leaving his body. So he left the world with a smile on his face.
Knowing that he died, his soul let him have his vision back. Opening his eyes, he looked at the gorgeous woman who was next to him. She was fucking gorgeous and she was smiling at him. Seeing her, Rowan sighed and smiled at her. Arabella… finally he joined her too. He was at least happy to see her even after his death.
"You saved your people," Arabella muttered. Rowan smiled at her and nodded. He saved his people but he failed to save her and himself. So he was still unsuccessful at the end of everything.
"You did well Rowan" she smiled at him and muttered.
Rowan smiled back at her and hugged her against his chest as both of their souls disappeared from the world with the sun rising. Leaving everything, they finally stayed at the peace of their lives.
