Chapter 37

Ever heads downstairs to get some ice cream and Drina is there. Drina proceeds to mock and make fun of Ever. Drina taunts Ever about causing the accident that killed her family. Drina and Ever fight and Ever is beyond angry at Drina for killing her family. As Drina tries to kill Ever, Ever reaches inside herself to find the love and laughter. Once Ever regains her power, she throws Drina across the room. Drina laughs, but comes right back at her. Ever again throws her and she goes through the French door, breaking the glass. Just when Ever thinks she may have the upper hand, Drina causes pain in Ever’s head. But Ever will not give up, not after knowing Drina is responsible for the accident. Ever swings her fist toward Drina and is shocked when she hits her in the chest. Ever closes her eyes, thinking this is the end, but when she opens her eyes Drina is struggling with her hands on her chest.

Drina cries out to Damen, who tells her it’s time for her to go. Drina shrivels up and dies. Ever is confused but Damen explains that she hit Drina in one of her chakras.

Ever finally tells Damen she loves him and he promises to teach her all he knows.
