Love Across Lifetimes, One Lifetime of Regret

They called him many things: the King of the Underworld, the Lord of the Dead, the Shadow Sovereign.

But to me, he was simply Kaelen Nightfall.

The man I had loved across lifetimes and through centuries.

Yet I was nothing but a shadow, standing behind a ghost he could never let go.

Lillian Ravenspire. One of the Twelve Flower Spirits.

His first love. His fiancée.

After she died, Kaelen hated me for a thousand years.

And me? I was the intruder. The placeholder. The fool.

Still, I gave everything.
