Seeing her struck Summer like a lightning bolt to his heart.
He had loved Tytonidae. There was nothing delusional or false about the way he had loved Tytonidae. She had found her way into his heart the moment she'd turned up at the borders of the Sunspire, anxious and uncertain, but too possessed of love for her mother to allow either emotion to hold her back. She'd made him care for her with a glance, and it had grown into friendship, then shortly thereafter into love. Their mateship had been both wonderful and terrible for Summer, for as much as he had loved her, she could not give him the future he needed for himself. They were not meant to be. Love had not been enough.
He had loved Magpie first.
She had come to him in much the same way, and Summer had taken to her for the same reasons. She had been a captive of his pack - scared and alone. He had wanted to protect her the moment he'd met her. But unlike Ty, he had never truly been able to develop the relationship he'd wanted with her. They'd had a few days together at the Sunspire before she'd been sent back to the Creek, and then there had been one night after they were grown and reunited after all that time. Magpie was fleeting, but she was a possibility. She had always been a possibility after all this time, after as little time that he'd had with her. The Ostrega had never forgotten the dark girl with angel's wings and eyes the color of Spring, the perfect match the light of Summer in his.
Summer could not find his voice, but she found hers. He heard his name on her lips, but she faltered. His head tilted slightly as he drank in her face, her frame, everything about her. But when she spoke again, his eyes narrowed in confusion. She called herself Maudlin. And for a brief moment, he considered that maybe he was mistaken. Maybe this wasn't the girl he remembered. This wasn't Magpie.
"No you're not," he objected softly, taking a step towards her. Summer was clueless to the inner workings of her mind. He didn't know that she might be having quite a pivotal moment in her life; that she had decided in that moment to remake herself into something greater. He couldn't possibly have even suspected it.
She was already perfect.
"Magpie?"
