I woke tip to the soft glow of morning light filtering through my curtains, the warmth of the previous night lingering on my skin, My body ached-not from battle, but from the intensity of what had transpired between me and the twins. A deep, primal satisfaction settled within me, an unbreakable bond now tying us together.

But there was no time to dwell on that. Training awaited.

After getting dressed, I met up with my mates in the training grounds where Eira stood, arms crossed, waiting for us. Her expression was unreadable, but there was something in her eyes that made my stomach twist with unease.

I frowned. "You mean, like fighting together?"

A chill ran through me. "A cost?"

Eira's expression turned serious. "If you push too hard, you could drain yourself completely. It's a dangerous technique. One that can save lives-but also one that can kill you if you're reckless."

A heavy silence fell over the group.
