Today was the day. Today, Leo and I would stand before the Council to challenge the mating law that had shackled our bond, the law that divided witches and werewolves as if we were enemies rather than allies forged in destiny. I stood in Leo's guest room, glancing around at the delicate furnishings that adorned the space – reminders of a world woven together by both beauty and complexity.
As I gathered my thoughts, I prepared to face the incoming storm. Our carefully crafted loophole was the culmination of three months of sleepless nights, fervent discussions, and desperate hope. We had unearthed secrets long hidden within the folds of the Coven's history; it was a chance to prove that love transcends boundaries.
My heart fluttered as I caught sight of Leo across the room.
