I can hear their footsteps scuffling away. “You know she’s never going to make this easy for you, right?” I hear Rowan ask quietly. Silence. Long enough that I almost think Luca isn’t going to answer. “I know,” he says softly. A beat passes. Then Rowan snorts. “You’re so unbelievably fucked.” “Shut up, Rowan.” Their laughter fades down the hall. And despite everything… Dean Withers. The tracker beneath my skin. Callan Ravaryn and his stupid, gentle eyes. The memories of Skyless Keep. The panic still clawing at my chest… I find myself smiling. Just a little.

He took a seat by her side and she heaved a sigh of relief. Next came Raphael and Jake. The sisters followed closely behind and they all took seats close to Hermione. Hermione was comforted by their closeness and relaxed a bit. Lycans walked into the hall, most of them throwing Hermione looks of curiosity. Lang Lang leaned towards Hermione and whispered the names of some lycans. She pointed at a blonde Lycan, who was "Nate", and a sexy brunette, “Raine”, two identical males. She identified them as “Troy and Moran” and a particularly large Lycan “asher”.

And you'd always find me standing for you whenever you'd fall or turn back. I love you Aira. Maybe Hiraeth was in our destiny. Yours and only yours. With love, Asher. The End, To Asher and Aira, A Beginning to Virat and Aira.

Because now I had more than a reason to be here. I had a mission. This was only the beginning. Tomorrow, I would return to the hospital site again and see what else could be uncovered from the ashes. But for tonight, I rest with this small but delicious triumph. Let Delilah sleep with suspicion in her heart. Let Jackson dream about “Amara the investor.” Because Emily the real Emily was back. And I was just getting started.

Her copper rune-threaded robes fluttered as she turned, eyes locking onto mine with a smile too sharp to be warm. “Elias,” she said, voice airy and bright as ever. “We need your help with a bit of an anomaly.” “Aurelian,” I replied flatly, not bothering to ask. “I heard.” Ashleigh didn’t deny it. She just flicked her wrist, and a scroll snapped open midair between us. “The gate scan confirmed dragonblood. Four times. Same result.” I raised an eyebrow. “And your solution is to… assign me babysitting duty?”

"You hit me? Luke, you bastard! This whole plan was your idea, and now, you're blaming me?" Luke roared in frustration, "My plan was for you to get pregnant with Jayden's baby so we could sue him! Not for you to screw my dad!" "No! It was Simone! It was you! You did this!" Tricia finally put the pieces together and lunged at me. She grabbed me by the collar, shouting, "You swapped the rubbers! You set me up, didn't you? You filthy bitch!"

If you wanted to, you could cut through it with a knife “You think you’re better than me?” Lana asked, taking a step forward. “No,” Grey said simply, calmly. “Then what?” She asked, quietly.

You really have the audacity.” She clapped twice, and put her arms behind her.

"I guess you are the only girl who says the meanest things to me. I know you don't mean it though." "How would you know when you’re too absorbed in yourself to notice anything else?" I fired. "By the way, I thought you were going to talk about your DAMAGED DEVICES. And I remember asking you to take a step back. I'm not one of those girls who cringes to have a taste of you all because you stand next to them and..." I was forced to halt because Asher suddenly leaned in pretty closer this time that his lip was barely an inch away from mine.
