Chapter 21

Lark knew he had found Erin. He had sought to expedite the process by killing Eugene, and while he had done so, he had still had to wait for him to be reborn first, grow up, and marry before he and his wife would have Erin.

It had been twenty-odd years since he had killed Eugene. As time had passed, Lark had lived his life from day to day wondering when he would get a sign that Erin had been reborn. He had not known what that sign would be until Erin’s hair had turned to dust and he had not transformed when he had visited her grave.

He had been lucky enough to find her three villages away but he was now faced with another problem.

In her previous life, Erin had known him before he had been cursed. In this new life, she did not know him and he would not be able to go near her without transforming. It was virtually an impossibility for him to get near her and get to know her. How then was he supposed to get near her and get to know her?
