-Ava’s POV-

The plan had been working.

Right up until the moment it wasn’t.

Jonah was screaming.

The wind howled around us, a monstrous, deafening force, ripping at the mist, swirling like a living thing. It had him. It had him. I could see it–his body twisting, contorting, his fingers clawing at the ground as he tried to resist, his mouth stretched open in a soundless shriek as the invisible force dragged him inch by inch toward the abyss.

For the first time, he was the one fighting. He was the one losing.

And then–I lost sight of Grayson.

It happened so fast I barely processed it. One second he was there, his body tensed, his gaze locked onto Jonah, his stance ready to push at the exact right moment. The next–gone.

Swallowed by the chaos.

The wind shrieked louder, a sound so piercing it split through my skull. My hair whipped around my face, the air thick and electric, the mist curling in tendrils, distorting everything. My pulse pounded in my ears, my breath ragged and uneven.

“Grayson?!” My voice barely carried over the noise.

I spun, my vision blurred by the swirling mist. I couldn’t see him. I couldn’t see him.

No. No, no, no-

My heart slammed against my ribs, a deep, primal panic rising inside me. This wasn’t supposed to happen. We had planned for this. We had calculated this. We were supposed to use Jonah’s panic against him, let the wind take him, and ride the force back to the living realm.

But the wind–it was shifting.

It was changing its mind.

I felt it before I saw it–Grayson’s struggle.

A ripple in the mist, a break in the swirling gray, and then–there.

Him.

His body was being dragged.

No–not him.

The wind was taking him too.

His feet skidded against the ground, his muscles tensed, fighting against the pull, but it was stronger. It was winning.

And suddenly, nothing else mattered.

Jonah was screaming. The wind was wailing. The world around me was chaos. But all I could see was him–Grayson–being ripped away from me.
