BONES: GODS OF CHAOS MC
Page 26
Daisy’s eyes widened in surprise.
“You’ve had it all this time?” she asked, her eyes welling with tears.
“So it is yours? I should have given it to you sooner, I’m so sorry,” he said. She took it from him, holding it up to the light from the flames.
“That’s okay,” she said, her voice dreamy and far-away as she gazed at it. “I held onto this thing for so long, thinking it was some kind of good luck charm. But the truth is, nothing good happened to me until I lost it. Then, I met you. I had Alex. Everything changed.”
She stared up at Jason, her eyes bright with clarity and strength.
She had everything she’d ever needed.
She turned quickly, tossing the keychain into the fire. She crumpled the piece of paper in her hand into a little ball.
“Goodbye, mama,” she murmured, kissing it quickly, before tossing it into the flames.
Jason wrapped his arms around her, as she leaned her chest against his, watching as the paper curled up and burned to ashes. The keychain lay next to it, melting into the flames.
“I think it’s time to move on.”
“The past can’t hurt you anymore,” he whispered, his low growl a promise for the future.
“No, no it can’t,” Daisy whispered, her heart finally full of peace, her future full of love…
Afterword
A note from the author…
Thank you so much for reading the Gods of Chaos series. When I began writing Remember Me, the first book of the series, my father had recently died and I left my heart on the pages. I never expected the series would get this far and that the Gods of Chaos would become so dear to my heart.
I didn’t start the series off intending to focus on rape trafficking, but that’s where the story went. Rape trafficking and abuse are heavy subjects and I strive to avoid exploiting that aspect of the series, in any way. I firmly believe in women’s rights and equality and that everyone, regardless of gender, has the right to be strong and safe and free from abuse.
As always, I welcome feedback and discussion about my books.
Feel free to leave me a review or contact me directly at honeypalomino@gmail.com. Again, I thank you so much for reading. I couldn’t do what I love without you, the reader.
I’d like to give a special thanks to my wonderful husband, my amazing daughter (who will never read this), my friend Ivy Hover who helped with the beautiful cover, and some wonderful friends who continue to help me every day — Vivian Lux, Jenn Allen, and Donna Parrott and so many other wonderful people that would take an entire book to name.
Life is crazy. Writing is the only thing that keeps me sane sometimes. I hope it provides you a little escape from the wildness of the world, if only for a little while.
Thank you a million times,
~Honey Palomino
