Tobi’s POVI crossed the threshold to find Oscar curled up with Henry on the two-seater sofa. Moira and Lila sat across from them in armchairs, nursing half-empty cups of tea. The coffee table was littered with three drained teapots, and I could tell Moira had been trying to calm Lila her posture was gentle, her tone low.As Lila turned toward me, her smile hit me like a freight train. That soft, radiant light that seemed to shine from her whenever I was near, it floored me. Through our bond, I could feel her love pour into me like warmth from the sun, chasing the last of my anger into shadow.“Are you okay?” I asked softly, crouching in front of her. My hand brushed gently through her hair as I searched her face, scanning for the worry I’d felt through the link.She nodded, nuzzling her cheek into my palm with a small sigh. I let her rest there, just for a moment, soaking her in, my beautiful, fearless mate.That’s when I saw it. The bracelet, my breath caught.Wrapped delicately aro

Moira watched the young couples from her armchair, smiling gently, but the runes' warning still pressed like a weight behind her eyes. She excused herself early, citing fatigue but the tightness in her chest had nothing to do with age. Something was coming. And if the old signs were right...

Tobi’s POVI woke without any sense of the hour, the heavy blockout curtains turning the room into a cocoon of darkness. For once, I’d slept in a proper bed a rare luxury after weeks of restless travel, makeshift accommodations, and the constant itch of responsibility.Beside me, Lila lay still, naked and warm, tucked into the curve of my body. Her breathing was low and steady, her skin soft under my fingers as I traced the line of her hip. I couldn’t stop touching her. Not after last night. Not after everything we’d been through to get here.How had we gone from strangers in Lenweil to this, my mate, sleeping in my arms like she’d always belonged there?I brushed my lips along her shoulder, trailing slow kisses up to the curve of her neck. She stirred with a soft squirm, reaching up instinctively to cup the side of my face.
