Marc salutes sloppily.“Road trip!”
The twins cheer, Godrick groans, and Peyton grins.Silas leans his forehead to mine, brushing his thumb over my bottom lip.
“We go where you go,” he murmurs.“We fight who you fight.We protect who you protect.”
“You’re not doing this alone, little leopard,” Godrick adds.
My throat tightens.“You’d all really ...come with me?”
Silas smiles.“You’re pack.And no one hunts our pack.”
The bond thrums between us, warm and steady.The fear is still there.The danger is still real.The path ahead is jagged and unknown.
But I’m not walking it alone.Not anymore.
I take Silas’s hand.“Then let’s start.”
He kisses my palm gently.
“Whenever you’re ready.”
And for the first time in my life, I am.
The End
