The Alpha Bond 216

Darkness.

For what felt like an eternity, Stormi drifted in the quiet void, neither awake na trdly asleep. The sensation of floating consumed her, weightless yet heavy. There was no sound, no sensation, just an empty void stretching infinitely.

Was this death?

I tried to move, but my limbs refused to obey. My mind felt heavy, sluggish, like I was sinking deeper into a bottomless abyss.

Then, a voice-soft and distant, yet achingly familiar-broke through the silence. "Storm... you need to wake up. You just have to."

My breath hitched. My fingers twitched. A warmth bloomed in my chest, and suddenly, the darkness began to crack.

A sharp gasp tore through my nose, as my consciousness snapped back.

Her eyelids fluttered, her breath ragged as I became aware of the sensation of soft sheets beneath me, the warmth of blankets cocooning my aching body made me realize I was lying in bed. The world around me was hazy at first, but the scent of herbs and faint traces of burning incense filled my nose, grounding me. My fingers twitched.

The witch nodded quickly and rushed out, leaving me with Rowena.

Only a few seconds passed and the door opened again, and a man stepped inside.
