Mila’s POV“Aiden, I don’t think I can do this,” I whispered, clutching his arm as the void around us churned. The primordial force loomed before us, a swirling mass of shadows and nightmares. Its presence was suffocating, a weight that pressed down on my chest, stealing my breath.“You’re stronger than you think,” he said, his voice firm, though his hand trembled as it gripped mine. “We both are.”The force laughed, a sound that reverberated through the collapsing world around us. “Strong? You think you’re strong?” Its voice was everywhere, inside my head, beneath my skin. “You’re nothing but fragile little humans, clinging to a love that was doomed from the start.”I flinched, the words cutting deeper than they should have. The entity shifted, its form growing larger, darker, as though feeding off my doubt.“Don’t listen to it, Mila,” Aiden said sharply, stepping in front of me. “It’s trying to break us.”The force’s laughter grew louder. “Break you? Why bother when you’re already b

Mila’s POV“Aiden…” My voice trembled as the world around us splintered, jagged cracks zigzagging through the earth like veins of despair. The primordial force loomed ahead, a swirling vortex of darkness and chaos, its tendrils tearing at the fabric of reality. “This… this isn’t right. We’re losing everything.”“I know,” he said, his voice low, steady, and filled with a determination that belied the storm brewing within him. His hand tightened around mine, his touch the only anchor I had in the chaos. “But we have to keep going. We’ve come too far to stop now.”My chest heaved as I struggled to draw breath, the weight of what we were about to do pressing down on me like a physical force. “Aiden, look at it! It’s… unraveling everything. If we’re wrong—if we fail—there won’t be anything left to save.”“And if we don’t try, there won’t be anything left of us,” he countered, his piercing gaze locking onto mine. “Mila, listen to me. I don’t care what happens to me. I don’t care what happen

Mila’s POVI stand at the edge of the abyss, feeling the weight of everything that’s happened—the pain, the fear, the endless battle. Aiden is beside me, his presence grounding me in the chaos. But even now, even with the darkness swirling around us, I can’t shake the feeling that we’re not done.The primordial force—the one that’s haunted us from the very beginning—is no longer just an external threat. It’s inside us, a part of us, feeding on our every doubt, every fear, every insecurity.“I thought we’d beaten it,” I say, my voice trembling slightly. “But it’s still here.”Aiden doesn’t say anything at first, just stands there beside me, his jaw clenched as he watches the swirling darkness that surrounds us.“It’s not over,” he finally says, his voice low, almost defeated. “We’ve been fighting it all this time, thinking it was something out there. But the truth is… it’s within us. It always has been.”I feel a shiver run down my spine. I know he’s right. The force isn’t just some sh

Aiden's POVI can’t stand it anymore.Every inch of me is screaming, fighting against the force that’s keeping me back. Every instinct I have is clawing at the invisible walls surrounding me, but no matter how hard I push, I can’t get any closer to her. Mila. My Mila.The world around me feels like it’s closing in, the darkness of the primordial force pressing against me with an intensity that threatens to crush me. But it’s not the force I’m fighting. It’s the knowledge that she’s out there, suffering alone. That she’s making the ultimate sacrifice for all of us—and I can’t do a damn thing to stop it.I watch her, my heart breaking as she steps into the heart of the darkness, her body trembling, her expression twisted in pain.“Mila!” I roar, my voice hoarse, desperate.But she doesn’t hear me. She can’t.The force has her now. It’s too late.I won’t let her do this alone.I take a step forward, then another. The barrier holding me back presses harder against me, like a physical forc

Mila's POVI stand at the edge of the world, my essence pulsing with the force that now binds me. I can see everything, feel everything, but I can touch nothing. The world has become a canvas I can only observe, a painting I cannot alter with the brush of my hand.Aiden.His presence, still so close yet so far away, lingers with me like the fading warmth of the sun. I can sense him, feel him beside me, even though I can't physically reach out to him. The bond between us is undeniable—stronger now, but infinitely more painful.How did we get here?It’s been weeks since we ascended, weeks since we became the eternal guardians of balance, and yet it feels like it’s only been moments. Time moves differently now. It slips through my fingers, like sand in an hourglass that I can no longer hold.I turn my gaze toward the pack. They are rebuilding, slowly, painfully, their hearts still raw from the battle. The air is heavy with grief, with loss. Without us, without Aiden and me, they are scat
