His whole body constricted, and his lungs screamed for air. With one final push, his body tumbled across the line and the pressure disappeared. He lay, panting in exile. ####

he whispered, and the truth of it hung between them like a blade. Her hand trembled against his chest. “What?” Before he could answer, sirens wailed in the distance. Police.

Something that had to do with the moment a hunter realized they’d fallen in love with their prey. “We need to talk,” Elara said, her voice steady despite everything. “About what you are. About why you came here. About why you’re dying.”

When I heard her words, my whole body trembled. With a bitter smile, I said, "Okay." Since I didn't have much longer to live anyway, I might as well give my life to the man she loved. I really wanted to see her expression when she found out that she and Tucker were responsible for Ava's death and mine. I never came off the operating table. Overjoyed that her first love had finally been saved, Olivia happily went home with Tucker. Then the hospital called her. "Ms. Dane, your husband suffered a severe postoperative reaction. His heart has stopped..."

None of them were. As he turned away, Tania stared after him, her expression twisting. What she hadn’t said was the real endgame, not just money. No, she was done. With all of them. Andreas, Mia, the child. Her world was already ashes; she was just ready to burn the rest with it. As Dante began drafting a message, she turned to the window, eyes gleaming.

The drive back to Ember Pack would be long, but for the first time in her life, Tanya wasn't afraid of what was waiting at the end of the road. She had the truth, she had the bond, and she had the man who had been her beginning and would now, finally, be her partner in the end.

A healer named Arlen approached me during one of those sessions with a soft-spoken concern that didn’t match the firm line of his jaw. “Lady Tasha,” he said, lowering his voice, “have you noticed anything unusual with Lady Violet recently?” His tone hinted that he already knew the answer.
