The Alpha's Fated Kiss
“For the ones we lost.”
We pulled.
The thread fought, tearing skin, drawing blood, but we held. Our grief, our love, our truth poured into it: Javier’s laugh, Mamá’s lullabies, Marco’s first hack, Alexander’s proposal, Lila’s choice to stay. The mouth shrieked, the alley trembling, the city holding its breath.
The thread snapped.
The mouth collapsed.
The ash settled.
We fell together, a tangle of blood and tears, alive.
The dawn was clean, the sky blue, the city ours.
