“I turned. It took me a moment to grasp it. What I saw. Rhys was sprawled on the rocky ground, wings draped behind him. He looked like he was sleeping. But as I breathed in- It wasn't there. The thing that rose and fell with each breath. That echoed each heartbeat. The mating bond. It wasn't there. It was gone. Because his own chest... it was not moving. And Rhys was dead.” — Sarah J. Maas
I turned.
It took me a moment to grasp it. What I saw.
Rhys was sprawled on the rocky ground, wings draped behind him.
He looked like he was sleeping.
But as I breathed in-
It wasn't there.
The thing that rose and fell with each breath. That echoed each heartbeat.
The mating bond.
It wasn't there. It was gone.
Because his own chest... it was not moving.
And Rhys was dead.
