Chapter 141 – The New Home

EliraPeace, I learned, did not arrive with trumpets.It came in quieter ways.In doors left open.In laughter drifting from cabins at dusk.In the absence of people flinching when footsteps approached.In mornings where no one asked who might attack before nightfall.For so long survival had been measured by what we escaped. Now, somehow, life was beginning to be measured by what we were building.And that felt stranger than war ever had.The days after learning of the twins settled into a rhythm so ordinary and miraculous I found myself guarding it almost superstitiously, as though naming my happiness too boldly might frighten it away.Shadowhearth no longer felt like Caelan’s pack reluctantly absorbing Ronan’s displaced wolves.It had become one living thing.Cabins once half-empty now held children racing between porches, borrowed dishes exchanged without asking, and old loyalties dissolving in the practical intimacy of shared life. Former wasteland wolves worked alongside Shadowhe

Chapter 142 – Promise of Tomorrow

Fresh pine boards lined one wall where new shelving had been built. A carved cradle sat half-finished near the hearth, the wood still raw in places because Ronan insisted on doing some of the carving himself despite repeatedly proving he had all the delicate finesse of a battle axe.I stood in the doorway watching the two of them argue over a cradle rail.Again.“It’s crooked,” Ronan said.“It is not crooked.”“It leans.”“It has character.”“It has a tilt.”Caelan stepped back, folded his arms, and gave the cradle an offended look as if betrayed by lumber.I laughed before I meant to

Epilogue – When the Future Arrives

EliraThe twins were trying to summon a dragon out of mud.At least, that was Gregor’s explanation.“It needs horns,” he insisted, crouched in the grass with his hands coated to the wrists in dirt, dark hair falling into his eyes in the exact unruly way Ronan’s did when he refused to tie it back.“It needs wings,” Sylvie corrected with all the authority of a child half convinced she had been born older than her brother.She punctuated this by accidentally making her fingers glow.Again.Gold light flickered around her knuckles, brightening with her frustration until the mud dragon shimmered as if blessed by moonlight.Neither child found this remotely unusual.I did.Every time.Gregor, meanwhile, had inherited his father’s infernal streak in ways both fascinating and exhausting. When angry, the air around him heated perceptibly. When excited, shadows occasionally bent in ways they should not. Two weeks earlier he had opened what Ronan swore was a “very small and harmless” portal insi
