She said, and I lifted my gaze, wondering what she meant by that. "He has nothing to lose..." I mumbled, and she smiled. "Yvy, you are his second chance, mate, and his first one rejected him and put him through hell... Yes, he is allowed to be terrified..." Stormee paused, "And I know you must be terrified as well; this realm has not treated women fairly for a long time..." Storm held my hand, and immediately, they stopped trembling.

He’d given Blackclaw back to its rightful name without hesitation, and he’d done it with this steady calm I was starting to depend on more than I wanted to admit. “You ready?” he asked. Not really. But close enough. I inhaled, steadying myself. The ceremony wasn’t loud or extravagant. It didn’t need to be. My people were alive. My land was free. That was enough. When the elders placed the obsidian crown against my forehead, something inside my chest eased—like the last piece of a puzzle I’d been carrying since childhood finally locked in. “Eliana Stormwolf of Shadow Pack,” they said, voices rising with a weight I felt deep in my bones. “Your bloodline returns home.”

The rail station was on the outskirts and required me to pass through a rather deserted stretch of road. My driving speed slowed as dawn began to break. However, I was caught in an accident as I rounded a corner. I heard a loud crash as my car jolted sideways. I quickly realized that I had been rear-ended. I struggled to steer the wheel, but my car still collided with a pole.

And yet, later on, I couldn't tell if I was truly happy. If getting what I wanted was happiness, then why did I still feel this ache and sorrow even with Philip? I had no answer. I just held Mom's hand and promised something even I wasn't certain of. "I will, Mom. I will be happy." Lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice my heel catching on my dress.

He catches me watching and forces a slow exhale, grounding.

Leander POV The storm hit after midnight. Rain hit the mountain resort so hard that the windows shook. Thunder boomed through the valleys like something huge waking beneath the earth. The lights flickered once, twice, before staying steady. Most of the resort had gone quiet hours ago. Employees were asleep behind doors after long days of workshops and getting tired from being in the mountains. I was still awake. Of course I was. Sleep has become unsafe lately. Every time I closed my eyes, something tried to come.

I was frozen in place for what felt like forever. I did not shed even a single tear. It turned out that when a person felt the most devastated they had ever felt, they would not even be able to cry. The sun dipped below the horizon. A blood-red glow swallowed everything. The television said it would get hotter in the next few days. It was dry, so we had to be careful about fires.
