We approach the gazebo, the heart of our village, and there she is—Ava, in all her breathtaking glory, makes the world stand still. For a heartbeat, I freeze, but her smile, warm and welcoming, thaws me, and I’m drawn to her like a moth to a flame.

Ethan and Brody wait behind her, their commitment marked by the fresh bites on their necks, a bond forged from trust and love.

“Ava Martinez,” Eloise announces, her voice carrying across the clearing, “I present to you, your fated mate, Tyler Reed of Clan Hughes.”

As I step forward, every nerve in my body sings with anticipation. “You look…” Words fail me. She’s beyond description. “Perfect.”

Her touch is electric and grounding. “You look like mine,” she whispers, her words a vow as she pulls me closer.

As I kneel before her, offering myself, the world fades away, leaving only the bond, the moon, and the unspoken promises between us. Her bite seals our fate—a connection deeper than words, filled with love, hope, and the thrill of what’s to come.

I love you too. Her voice echoes in my heart, like a melody that binds us.

In that moment, we are complete. The circle is closed as the bond seals under the watchful eyes of the moon and our clan.

And then there were four.
