Woodenly, I turned and looked up at Tanyn.

“We’re fated?” I whispered.

“My beautiful Catla,” he whispered in return.

Oh my gods!

“You knew.”

“I knew,” he confirmed. “I was going to tell you.”

“When?” I asked.

“When we said the words.”

When we said the words.

He dipped his face to mine. “Let’s see to that now. I love you Catla Truelock, who was born to live her life a Firefierce. Who was made to live her life mine.”

Crimson hit my eyes.

Not anger.

Tears.

This was it.

The perfect time was now.

That was bizarre, but it was incredibly true.

“And I love you, Tanyn Firefierce, who will live the rest of his life mine.”

Oh gods.

I was going to start sobbing.

I choked it back, so my voice was hoarse when I said, “Who was made to live his life mine.”

He groaned and took my mouth in a long, searing kiss that didn’t end even after we heard Nayden mutter, “Fuck me.”

We did end the kiss when another groan was heard.

A louder one.

Much, much louder.

A terrifying one, because it came from all around.

In a flash, I was in Tanyn’s arms in a manner he was intent to lift me up and spirit me away.

He didn’t.

He looked up.

I looked up.

And to my shock, I saw the rest of the snow and ice that had encased Berg Castle after it was cursed was gone.
