-Grayson’s POV-

I snapped out of the shock, my heart hammering in my chest, the fire in my veins outpacing the fog in my mind. The factory loomed in front of me, engulfed in flames, its silhouette jagged line against the fiery backdrop. I didn’t think- couldn’t think. Every muscle in my body screamed to move, to get to her.

I took a step toward the inferno, but suddenly, a hand seized my wrist, dragging me back. I spun around, ready to fight, to tear whoever dared stop me apart–then I saw Rickon’s face.

Isabella reached her first, but I didn’t let myself think. I was already beside her, kneeling before Ava, my hands trembling as I brushed a lock of singed hair from her forehead. Her eyes fluttered open briefly, weak and unfocused.

“Ava,” I whispered, my voice thick with emotion.

She tried to speak, but her voice was barely a whisper, weak and strained. “Maria…” She gasped, her eyes losing focus again. “I need… my father… Maria… he’s… dying…”
