"It's time you should be reborn," Joshua sighed at that. "Not until my wish is granted." The person grunted at hearing the same thing. "You are not in a position to bargain, human; you should go, which means you should.” Joshua rolled his eyes. "You are not meeting him in this life." "Then I am content watching him from here." Another sigh escaped from the person. "It doesn't work that way. I am done prolonging your rebirth; it's time." "Let me meet him once, only once. I will get my way around him." The guy rolled his eyes. "He doesn't want to." "That will change with the meeting, trust me." "Same old, same old, cocky, overconfident." Joshua chuckled at that. "I know him better than he knows himself." A long sigh left the guy. "It's going to be hard, and the road to his way will never be easy." Joshua leaned back, a content smile left from him. "With him, it was never easy. I tasted it before, and I am ready for everything, but I want him. My yearning for him will never change, my craving for him is stronger than before, the urge to have him is multiplied, and the desire has reached its peak. This time, the hunger I am feeling is like never before, the longing is ripping something in me, and the ache is different, burning me with passion. With a resolute voice, Joshua spoke. I want him, and I always will.”

A small reminder for grammar seekers: I tried my best, and if the chapters didn't reach your expectations, you can always skip.


This is the end of the Teen Era of Dante. Please don't think I am giving more preference to Dante's character. I am going to cover both characters' POVs equally.


Some of the readers told me to add the character name POV at the beginning of every chapter, but I don't like writing that way. At the same time, I am making sure you are not lost and giving enough clues so you guys can grasp the character.


This is my first novel, where I wrote 21 chapters, without a kiss or sex scenes, but no promises in the future.


The most difficult part while writing was Dante's POV, where I kept forgetting that he talks less and adds more conversation from his side. So many times, I erased and rewrote a few chapters.


I thought of taking a short break after this chapter, but I will lose track of the story, and I can't afford that.


I don't know how the story is coming. Please try to leave comments and review the story. Suggestions are welcome.
