Another path created for you (bonus chapter)

"Welcome back, my child."

A sharp scoff slipped past my lips as soon I locked gazed with her beautiful emerald eyes. I was drawn to her the first time I met her, but right now, I didn't have the luxury to get amused by her beauty.

"Will Sam die?" was the first question that escaped my mouth even before I could think.

Lara chuckled as she rested her jaw on her knuckles, smiling. "How will I know that, my child? Don't you have more important questions to ask?"

"That is the most important question for me." I sighed deeply as my shoulders lowered. "My husband's life is the most important thing for me. His death is also my death."

"My child, aren't you too romantic?"

Her response incited a ridiculing chuckle from me as I raised my gaze to her. "What do you know? He is the only person who was there for me ever since. Not the Bloodfang, not the Crawfords, not even you."
