Chapter 374:

His gaze softened slightly, though his grip didn’t loosen. “I know exactly who you are, Isabelle. And I know what you’ve done. But that doesn’t change the fact that you’re my mate.”

The conviction in his voice was like a balm to my fractured soul, but I couldn’t let myself believe it.

“How can you say that?” I whispered, tears pricking at my eyes. “How can you look at me and not hate me?”

“Because the Moon Goddess doesn’t make mistakes,” he said simply.

His words hit me like a punch to the gut, and I couldn’t hold back the tears any longer. They spilled over, hot and unrelenting, and I hated myself for breaking in front of him.

But then something unexpected happened.

He let go of my wrist and cupped my face in his hands, his touch surprisingly gentle for someone who radiated so much strength. His thumbs brushed away my tears, and his gaze softened even further.

“You’re mine,” he said, his voice low and rough. “And nothing you’ve done will ever change that.”

Zora howled in my mind, her joy and excitement nearly overwhelming. I felt her pushing against me, urging me forward, and before I could think, before I could stop myself, I acted.

I surged upward, pressing my lips to his in a desperate, messy kiss that stole the breath from both of us.

For a moment, he froze, clearly caught off guard. But then he responded, his arms wrapping around me and pulling me flush against him. His lips moved against mine with a hunger that matched my own, his fingers tangling in my hair as he deepened the kiss.

The world around us faded, leaving nothing but the heat of his touch and the electric connection between us. My heart thundered in my chest, not with fear, but with something far more terrifying.

Hope.

When we finally broke apart, both of us were breathing heavily, our foreheads resting together as we tried to catch our breath.

“You feel that, don’t you?” he murmured, his voice husky.

I nodded, unable to speak.

“That’s the bond, Isabelle,” he said, his thumb brushing against my cheek. “And it’s not something we can ignore.”

I closed my eyes, leaning into his touch as the truth of his words sank in. He was right. I couldn’t run from this. From him. Not when my heart was beating so fast, beating this way.

“I’m scared,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.

“I know,” he said, his tone gentle but firm. “But you don’t have to face this alone. We’ll figure it out. Together.”fnbb61 ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? find[f]ovel/fnbb61

For the first time in what felt like forever, I allowed myself to believe him. To believe that maybe, just maybe, I wasn’t as doomed as I thought.
