Soul Bound - Bound Essence, #2

EmrickFor a long time I feared the magic inside me. Then I met Kerrienne. I didn't even realize that something was missing in my life until the day she stood her ground against me on the battlefield, matching me blow for blow. She's not only helped me embrace my magic but she's amplified it... I can regenerate almost any wound.  I'm damn near impossible to kill but if I lost her, I know it would be the end of me.  How do I know that?  Because For a short time, I thought I'd lost her and it broke me.  Literally.  Her touch is the only one that can soothe the restlessness within me and her kisses have surely branded me as hers.
And as the fates would have it, they have designated us as each other's soulmates. KerrienneI died once, but I didn't stay dead.  As it turned out, the matebond that I share with Emrick kept me from crossing over but even if I didn't have a soulmate, I wouldn't have died. Why?  Because I'm a Phoenix and my great-grandparents are Egyptian Gods.  Yeah you heard me. Intrigued yet?...
