The rivers that were filled with poison finally ran clear. The air, for the first time in generations, didn’t taste of fear. It was crisp, pure, and calm.

Birds began to sing, and the forest slowly came back to life. ​

The sun rose over the city, casting a golden light that glinted off the skyscrapers and painted the streets in warm hues. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, Sophie woke up without the weight of fear and uncertainty pressing down on her chest. She turned her head to see Alex beside her, his face relaxed in sleep, the tension lines that had marred his features now softened.

My wolf was silent now, exhausted, and I could feel the burn of the Luna’s Bane working toward my chest. I coughed, and tasted blood in the back of my throat. Above me, through the bare branches, the sky was brightening. The sun was coming up. I looked at the sky, and smiled. How lucky I was to see one final sunrise.

No light but starlight. My aura dimmed. My bones screamed. But I didn’t stop. Not until I had nothing left to give.
