Chapter 597

• We’d taken Dezrael’s body to the crematorium and burned her. Kiran placed her ashes in a tin box and threw it into Resurrection Bay. We watched it sink and sighed in relief as the bubbles broke on the surface. We didn’t want to taint the forest by burying her there.
• Two weeks went by, and Jessica got over her anger. We didn’t talk about Dezrael again, and we didn’t tell anyone else. I told Falcon and Kari that night when I got home, and I knew Malachi would tell Levi, which meant that William and Saga would know. Saga was super pissed off that we’d taken her mother on again, but she was more pissed that the woman had dared to come into our lives again.
• Things went back to normal, and we all resumed our daily lives. A new bond had been created between Kiran and me. We were closer than ever before, and that first day after our fight in the forest, he’d hugged me tightly in his office, and wiped his eyes afterward.
