Chapter 11 - Wings Above the Mediterranean
That afternoon, we walked to the highest point of the cliffside estate.
The wind was gentle and warm, blowing off the turquoise bay.
Valkyrie sat on Dominic’s gloved fist.
Her wing was fully healed.
Her golden eyes tracked the horizon.
Dominic stroked her head one last time.
“Go on, old girl. Show Gabriel you can still fly.”
He lifted his arm with a powerful upward thrust.
Valkyrie spread her magnificent wings.
With two powerful beats, she caught the ocean breeze.
She soared high above the basalt cliffs, climbing into the sapphire sky.
She circled the estate twice, letting out a triumphant cry that echoed off the
mountains.
Dominic watched her with tears glistening in his eyes.

The weight of seven years of grief lifted from his broad shoulders.
Gabriel was finally at rest.
