Mila’s POV“Aiden!”His name is a broken scream ripped from my throat. My hands shake as I cradle his still form, pressing my fingers to his face, his chest—anywhere—to feel the warmth of life. But he doesn’t move. He doesn’t breathe.This can’t be happening.The world quakes around us, the very fabric of reality unraveling in the wake of the battle. The sky above us is fractured, streaked with unnatural rifts of violet and black. The ground beneath me pulses like something alive, rippling outward in erratic waves.And the entity is laughing.“Did you think you could sever the bond without consequences?” Its voice slithers over me, cold and taunting. “You saved him from me, but in doing so, you shattered him. You’ve lost him, Mila.”No. No, no, no—I press a hand to Aiden’s chest, my pulse hammering in my ears. “Come back to me,” I whisper, my voice cracking. “Aiden, please.”Nothing.The entity’s darkness swirls around us, tightening like a noose. I feel it in my bones, in my blood—a

Mila’s POV“Aiden, it’s shifting!”My voice barely rises above the chaos, but Aiden hears me. His sharp gaze locks onto the grotesque transformation happening before us. The entity’s body twists—limbs cracking, heads multiplying, flesh warping as it morphs into something worse.Something impossible.Four massive heads emerge, each one radiating a suffocating energy so heavy it claws at my mind.One head pulses with fear—its empty black eyes swallowing me whole, dragging me into a nightmare where I’m alone, screaming, unheard.Another bleeds regret—its mouth filled with whispers of everything I’ve lost, the choices I can’t take back, the love I’ve risked.The third head seethes with hatred—its guttural growls vibrating through my bones, stoking the rage buried deep inside me.The last drips with vengeance—its fanged maw twisting into a sick grin, a promise of destruction that slithers through my veins.I can feel it—this monster isn’t just something we can kill. It’s inside us, feeding

Aiden’s POVI stare at the beast, the dark mass of hatred and torment that looms above us. It shifts and writhes, and in its monstrous eyes, I can see it—my own reflection, twisted and warped by the curse that runs through my blood. The very thing that’s brought us to this point. The thing I never wanted to face.Mila stands beside me, her face pale and drawn, but she doesn’t move. She doesn’t pull away.And yet, there’s something else between us now. Something that wasn’t there before.The beast doesn’t speak, but I feel its presence. It knows. It knows that I’m the key.I can feel the weight of the curse pulling at my soul, tightening its grip with every passing second. Mila looks up at me, her eyes brimming with tears. I want to reach for her, to hold her and pull her close, but I know—deep down, I know—that this is the end of the line.“The curse,” I whisper, my voice rough. “It’s all tied to me. To my bloodline.”Mila’s hand trembles in mine, but she doesn’t let go. “Aiden, no. Y

Aiden’s POVThe world is unraveling before our eyes. The earth trembles beneath our feet, the sky darkening as the True One looms above us. Its form is indistinct, swirling with a power that twists the very air around us. It’s as if reality itself is bending, warping at its will.Mila’s hand is tight in mine, her breath shallow as we stand on the edge of the abyss, facing the unimaginable. The air around us crackles with the sheer force of the entity’s presence, the air thick with the promise of destruction. I can feel it. The pressure in my chest, the weight of the coming storm."This is it," Mila says, her voice low, but there’s an unmistakable edge of fear in her words. "We fight, or we die."I nod, but even I can’t deny the overwhelming truth that haunts me. We’ve been fighting for so long, and now, we’re standing at the precipice of everything we’ve ever feared. The True One—more powerful than anything we’ve encountered, more ancient than we could have imagined—is here. And we ha

Aiden's POV "Aiden, listen to me," Mila’s voice trembles, yet there's an undeniable strength behind it. She grips my arm, her touch warm against the cold, dark energy seeping through me. "I know you’re scared, but we can still find a way. We have to."I look down at her, my breath uneven, my chest tightening as the reality of our situation sets in. The air around us seems to shift, as though the very fabric of the world is unraveling. The ground beneath us is cracking, the sky bleeding an unnatural hue, a sickly swirl of black and crimson. It's as if the very earth can feel the destruction of the entity’s power coursing through it. And me.Every part of me aches, not from the battle, but from the torment of what I’m becoming. The power inside me roils, a dark wave of energy that feels both intoxicating and terrifying. I can feel it—this terrible, dangerous force threatening to consume me completely. The more I use my abilities, the more I lose myself. My vision blurs, and I struggle
