Delilah stood before the body-length mirror, smiling at her reflection. 

Her back hurt. The wound marks on her back were now becoming more prominent, and she could see little bones peeking from her skin. 

Her wings would grow on those wounds, and she was happy that they were already making so much progress.

"Delilah? Can I come in?" She heard Zephyr's voice and took a shaky breath, her fingers tracing the mark on her neck with a content smile. 

"Hmm," Delilah mumbled through the mind link. 

Zephyr entered the room and looked at the girl with a content smile.

"You look beautiful," he whispered, crossing the distance before placing a chaste kiss on her lips. 

"So do you," Delilah answered. Zephyr chuckled, his deep, chocolatey voice making her smile as her heart fluttered. 

"Are you ready for it?" Zephyr asked.

Delilah nodded, not saying much.
