The abyss exploded with light.
Aradia's fire surged—not gold, not white, not even godfire. Eternal. Blinding. Endless.
Kael's wolf blazed with her, his green eyes glowing brighter than stars, his claws dripping flame. Together, their souls bound, their love unbroken.
They struck.
Her flames consumed the Shadow's heart, burning every tendril, every whisper. His claws ripped through void, tearing eternity itself.
The Shadow screamed, its endless voice breaking, its body unraveling. "You cannot—love is not—eternal—"
But they were.
Alpha and Witch. Fang and Flame.
Their kiss crowned the battlefield in fire brighter than dawn. Their vow split the sky.
And the Shadow was gone.
