The floor of the hallway made a subtle cracking sound, like ice beginning to grow from within the stone. In the distance, the lights of the hanging torches slowly extinguished one by one, creating a layered darkness that moved closer. Valtorius grasped his wand. "He's awake..." "Who?" whispered Raven, her voice choked. "Something even the Last Watchers dare not mention. They call him... The Night Watcher."

Tristan's POV In the end, Willa signed the divorce agreement and walked out of the ward in silence. I was still too weary from having just woken up, and I barely managed a couple of sentences with Willa before drowsiness washed over me again. When I finally opened my eyes again, I realized that evening had settled in. Delilah walked into the ward with the warm chicken noodle soup and noticed the divorce agreement with both signatures. She merely set the container down and opened it, her eyes narrowing slightly as she said, "You woke up just in time, Tristan. I just made this, so please have some."

I’ll come back.” I curled my fingers into the thin blanket, feeling unfamiliar muscles tighten, a stranger’s heart thudding hard in my chest. “But this time, it will be different,” I promised. “I’m not going to be the weak one.” And somewhere deep inside, that vow settled like a seed.

"No, what if she needs yours to pull through later? We can't waste it now", Zack said, thrusting his hand in Hailey's face. Hailey put the hand on her shoulder, not accepting Noah's.

Time seemed to stand still as we delved deeper into each other's pain, a whirlwind of heat, light, and laughter, shaping our universe within the night. It wasn't just a bonding or claiming; it was an awakening. The universe was reacting, signaling everything and everyone—the one who had spent so long searching for her place—had awakened, and something enormous was approaching.

"Just give me some time." Time was a luxury that was running out. In a matter of weeks or days the venom could spread to his heart and then there will be no more waiting. Maybe Kylen was right, maybe I should awaken prime. I could feel him, see him. All I had to do was find his mental presence or something. What am I talking about, Prime was the mental presence.
