Chapter 65

This chapter is only dedicated to those who have consistently supported me at my lowest and at my highest. To those...
Thank you.

All there's left to do is do what I do best.

I summon a weapon.

And while Selene is busy pushing her dagger deeper into me, she doesn't see when the knife appears in my hand.

And when I stab the dagger into her side, her eyes widen as she looks down at the moonstone-encrusted dagger in disbelief.

"Must have summoned the wrong knife the first time," I pant, kicking her off of me and sending her dagger clattering to the side. "Hate it when that happens."

She looks across the room at the replica dagger that I was fighting her with the whole time. If she had gotten cut with it, then she would have been able to tell that it was a fake when it wouldn't have hurt her that badly.

I pull out the dagger, but she still groans in pain. "After seeing all of my fights, then you should have known that I never would go down without getting a few slashes in first. Killian is going to be so mad when I tell him that my idiotic plan worked. He owes me $200."

The goddess looks at me in pure fear.

She's right to be scared of me.

Golden light begins to radiate from the knife in my hand, until my vision is completely taken over with a bright white light.

When I can see again, I see Helios leaning over Selene, his mouth set in a hard line. "Hello, sister."

Selene cries as Helios takes out his own dagger, a solid gold one with sunstones decorating the hilt. "Helios, please. You're my brother, we can work this out."

Helios snorts, and all he says is, "Goodbye, sister."

And he stabs her in the neck with the dagger. After a swirl of golden light, she disappears, forever trapped in his dagger.

I pull Selene's knife out of my stomach and toss it to the side. "A little bit of godly healing would be nice," I say to Helios, feeling lightheaded from the blood loss. She hit almost every single vital organ.

Helios looks at me, proudness radiating in his gaze. "Of course, Sun-Freer."

He puts a warm, glowing hand on my stomach, and I exhale in relief as the pain immediately stops as my wounds heal, good as new. He reaches for my eye, but I stop him.

I would live without an eye for the rest of my life. A memory of all of those I have lost, a permanent reminder of everything I had to go through to get to this moment. My penance.

Helios seems to understand, or at least doesn't ask questions when I rip what's left of my torn eyeball out of my eye. It hurts, but so does everything.

Helios cringes as I toss the bloody eyeball to the side and rise to my feet. "Never have I seen a mortal so brutal," He mutters under his breath. "I'll get Killian so we can talk."

I look at him in confusion, and he elaborates. "Now that my power has been restored, I can keep the portal open for a little bit longer. I would like to speak to the wolf before you return to your world."

He goes to the portal, and calls out to Killian, telling him it's safe to leave the portal. Killian steps through, and his eyes immediately search to me. He exhales in relief before rushing over to me and pulling me in for a hug, surprising me.

"Thank you," He whispers, and I know he means for avenging his mate.

"Thank you, indeed, Sun-Freer," Helios says, standing a few feet away from us. "Your bravery has restored balance, and light has prevailed."
