The revolution had been defeated and peace reigned, for now.
The bond between Zezi and Valerick was no longer strained with depression, tensed feelings and overwhelming sadness. It blossomed with happiness, an electric feeling that made they both feel alive. The weight of the pregnancy felt so light for Zezi and Valerick’s happiness returned now that their conflict was over.
It was good that the heart-freezing thing hadn't worked.
To live his life without having feelings for Zezi and his bats would have been absolute horror.
Why had he even ever considered doing that?
That night, they didn't speak much. They just laid in bed, in each other's arms and fell asleep.
It was the most wonderful night they had both had in a long time.
The next day, Valerick was gone for a meeting, after pressing a kiss to her head with a promise that he would be back soon. Gwen came into the room next, happiness radiating all over her.
Her and her group were at it again.
