A Kiss with Destiny

Carter I thought I could keep the Carter persona forever, but people keep forcing my hand. With only Michael to turn to now, I must decide if the price that I must pay is worth it. If that wasn't weighing on me heavily enough, Tempest is desperate to be an answer for me. The last time that had happened I had found my resolve to change, but now I feel too far gone. With Leslie dead, I'm not sure I could ever let another person in, let alone another woman. They all had a way of soothing my soul but the burden was too much. The war is about to climax, and it will be a showdown between Death and the touch of Death. Will I prevail, or like all living things will I finally die. Two hundred and twenty years was a good run, but I'm not sure Tempest is ready to let me throw my life away. Tempest I felt like I had faced the demons that I had kept and had turned over a new leaf with not only my father but the rest of the clan too. I was their alpha, and it was time to start acting like one. The only thing that was missing from my side was Death. He had lost the fight with Michael. I had let him down. Now, he was going to win this war for me. I should've been ecstatic, but guilt swamped me. With the touch of Death in play, there's only one thing that could save him: the touch of life. I'd go to the ends of the earth to find the one that can give it to me, but I'm not sure it'll be in time. Can I instill the will to live again in him like he did me, or will he throw away the life we could have, and the king of mine he should be?
