The air around me shifted, thickening with a presence I could neither see nor define.
I had gathered the strength to speak my truth, to finally let the words in my heart escape—but before I could, a voice echoed through the air.
Not just one voice, but two—a man and a woman, their tones weaving together in perfect harmony, carrying a power that sent shivers down my spine.
“Hold in your heart the love you surrendered. Choose who you wish to love, for I have forgiven what you have repeated from this time.”
Their words were like a ripple in fate itself, sending a force through me, shifting the bonds I had once thought unchangeable.
And then—I felt it.
A pull.
At first, it was toward Endy, like an echo of the mate bond I had once clung to, the one I had once thought defined my destiny.
