He tried to plead, but my cold gaze silenced him. He collapsed and wailed in agony.

Claudine's eyes met Mary's, sharing a moment of profound sorrow. Denzel wrapped his arm around Claudine, holding her close. As Mary's words faded, the air seemed to vibrate with unspoken grief. Suddenly, Claudine's head tilted back, and a mournful howl erupted from her throat. Denzel joined, his voice blending with hers. Kris, Jacob, Ronald, and the others followed, their howls weaving together in a haunting tapestry of sorrow. Mary added her voice, a soft, melancholic wail. The forest echoed with their collective lament, a chilling, beautiful dirge that conveyed the depth of their loss.

Her figure was covered by a long black coat, and her wrinkled face wore a triumphant smile. "Please enjoy your destruction," she muttered sarcastically. The old woman was always behind every tragedy that happened. Her cynical smile grew wider, as if savoring what was to come next. She... she's Emma! --- Their long journey to Winterblood was accompanied by an increasingly heavy snowfall, the snowflakes falling like tiny wounds that cut Lucas' heart. Each cold drop was like a feeling that filled his chest-frozen and empty. The snow piled up on the road obscured the view around them, making everything seem silent, as if the world was grieving with Lucas.

And maybe that was its own kind of communication, its own way of staying connected to something real and warm and alive when everything else felt cold and broken. Winter closed her eyes and let sleep take her, her last thought a fragmented prayer that the beast would still be breathing when she returned.

The flare paints the sky a violent, angry red and the storm replies like a beast offended. Snow lunges at us in sheets and knives and the world narrows to wind and white. I put my face into the storm and all the noise narrows to one impossible sound: his voice in the air, and Aunt Ruby’s curse that follows it. He does not move like a human. The Winter King stands perfectly still,silver hair flaring, coat snapping like a flag no matter how the wind fights him. He watches me the way people watch a painting they plan to steal.

He didn't even register that I was standing right next to him. Every ounce of his soul was out in the freezing ocean, searching for a woman I don't even know. Who is this Winter? Who was she to you? ​I pulled my hand back from his face, letting it fall uselessly to my side. The frustration and sorrow were so suffocating I couldn't even cry anymore. ---

A black mourning band was wrapped around his arm, and his expression was cold and distant. She quickly looked away and shrank back behind the wall. “Chris, don’t be too heartbroken. Grandma would never want to see you like this. You need to take care of yourself.” A gentle voice carried on the wind into Winter’s ears. From the corner of her eye, she saw Skyla being pushed out in a wheelchair by her caregiver. The family got into the cars and followed the hearse to the crematory. As Winter watched the cars drive away, tears instantly spilled down her face. She dug her nails into her palms to stop herself from running after them.

His golden eyes scanned the scene, checking for any sign of movement in hopes that he had already done enough to stop the madman Leo for all eternity. His heart sank when his eyes met with Winter. Her body is still and lifeless while blood has stained the earth beneath her. A gulf of sadness over him struck him and was almost willing to engulf him. No, he whispered, stumbling toward her.
