However, when one soul was at peace, another was unconsciously seeking a resting place… At Acre Hills asylum, in the dead of night, the flashing shadow of a certain young man appearing in a gust of smoke, slowly approached the pale figure curled up into a ball at corner of the room, frantically chanting words of distress…

he said, trying to calm down. Violet couldn't blink her eyes, staring into his eyes. She no longer saw the devil in his eyes. All she could see was tenderness and kindness.

All this time, she was not aware of it until Lucian opened her eyes and mind.

Far beyond the world. Far beyond the stars. Far beyond the boundaries of creation itself— Something opened its eyes. And looked back. The moment it happened, the sanctuary shook. Not violently.

He wants to help her into the hereafter, wherever that may be for her, as quickly and painlessly as possible. She is not suffering now. When I try to access her memories, I touch only darkness.

We are the best in the world. There is a beautiful play room, and the best beds and food. It will be a good place for them.”

I remembered clearly how six years ago these streets had been broken, but now, children ran through them laughing, and merchants called out from busy stalls. And warriors trained in the distance while healers crossed the square carrying herbs toward the Healing Sanctuary. Our Healing Sanctuary. The one Knox and I had built together. Neutral ground.

After seeing him out, I canceled the abortion surgery and applied to the hospital for medication to temporarily block the mind link, using physical pain as the reason. Just before taking the medication, I received a message from Lucas through the mind link for the first time in a long while.

My heart beats hard, a swirl of anxiety and resignation tightening in my chest. The golden phrase "Bonding Ceremony" glows with an ethereal warmth at the center of the floral arch.

The glass tables with golden bases reflect the brilliance around us, and among the decorations, the phrase "Forever" rests in silence, a reminder of the inevitability of this union.

Reid has been appointed interim director, with a governing board that includes truth-seers, pack representatives, and other supernatural communities." I smiled at this news.
