Chapter 272

Chapter 272

-Ava’s POV-

Darkness.

Cold.

The ocean swallowed me whole, its icy fingers clawing at my skin, dragging me deeper into the abyss. The salt burned my throat, my lungs screamed, but no air came. The weight of the water pressed in from all sides, crushing, endless.

I kicked, thrashed, fought. But the surface was too far. My limbs were slow, heavy, the cold stealing the last of my strength.

I was drowning.

And all I could think of was everything I was about to lose.

I would never see my children. Never hold them in my arms, never hear their laughter.

I would never see Grayson again.

His eyes. His touch. The way he looked at me like I was his whole world.

I would never see Isabella. I would never see anyone ever again.

A fresh wave of panic surged through me, but my body was failing. My chest burned, my vision blurred. The fight in me was slipping away.

No. No, not like this.

I forced my arms to move, kicking weakly against the pull of the ocean, but the current was too strong. My lungs convulsed, desperate for air, and my lips parted against my will.

Saltwater rushed in.

Agony tore through my body as I choked. My mind screamed, but the ocean did not care. The ocean did not listen.

This was it.

This was how I was going to die.

I reached for my wolf.

Nothing.

I reached for something–the essence–anything–inside me that could help, that could fight, but there was only silence.

I was truly alone.

The realization settled deep in my chest, heavier than the water pressing in around me. My body knew before my It knew that this was the end.

The fight bled out of me.

My limbs stopped thrashing.

The panic faded.

A did.
