Epilogue (End of Season 1)

Eira watched him sleeping, memorizing the slopes and lines of Lars's harsh beauty. She was exhausted but, it was a good kind of tired. Lying on top of his warm body, she was going to miss it – his heat, his caring and possessiveness and the way those eyes would flash at her in anger or passion.

She was reluctant to leave but, she had to. Pressing a kiss on his lips, she whispered. "I love you, Lars."

He didn't move.

Eira bit back a smile. He must have been worn out. They had been insatiable, and, in some ways, she supposed they were making up for lost time. Gingerly, she disentangled her limbs from his and crept out of bed, pausing in front of the mirror. Even under the moonlight, she could see that her body was a map of love bites. She touched one at the base of her neck, wishing it was permanent.

Honestly, she hadn't expected Lars to confess his love. Though only parts of her memories had been restored, she knew without a doubt that she loved him too. But ever since her parents' death, she had vowed to kill the predator that took their lives. She wanted to lay her ghosts to rest. Now that the opportunity was here, she wasn't going to let it slip by.

It was a selfish decision.

Lars would stop her if he knew, and she didn't want him to be blamed for her desertion. It was punishable by death. Returning to her room, she dressed, grabbed her weapons, and left a holographic message. Eira didn't know if she would return alive. No one ever killed a primary apex and lived to tell the story but, she was going to die trying.

She snuck into the docking bay and was glad to see it was empty. Unlocking the bay doors, she hopped onto a hover bike and rode out into the dead of night. She had keyed in the address on the card from the mysterious man, arriving at a seedy tavern bar in the middle of nowhere. Before she even knocked, the tiny shaft in the door cracked open. "Your name?" The voice was surly.

"Eira Ulva."

The sounds of locks unbolting greeted her ears and the door swung open to reveal a vacant room – no tables or chairs, no bar, and no people. What was up with this place?

"Welcome, Eira Ulva."

Her eyes widened in shock when the space before her rifted apart, and a booted feet stepped through the portal. The same portal she had seen in the cave, with the same young man from before. She was certain now; he did know her.

Those black eyes smiled at her, and he extended a slim hand. Under the light, she noticed he had an uncommon streak of white hair in his hair. "My name is Regis Ciel, and I've been waiting for you."

- END OF SEASON 1.

Author's Note : Hello readers, Season 2 is now live! Thank you so much for sticking it out with me till the last episode. I'd love to hear your thoughts so far, and yes there are many unanswered questions which I will be focusing on in Season 2, and definitely more steamy love scenes to make up for the lack of it here in Season 1. As this is my first dedicated genre, it wasn't easy to keep track of plenty of things, and I literally have an encyclopedia that I sketched and bound by hand of the predators I created. Sadly, not all of them could make a debut. But I do hope that the story so far is enjoyable while the plot thickens!
