The Omega Mated To The Four

The Alpha Bond 231

Stormi's POV

The moment the light consumed me, I felt everything shift.

The pain, the exhaustion, the overwhelming weight of the battle-it all faded. The battlefield, the cries of my people, my mates calling my name... all of it disappeared.

And then, there was silence.

The light that had consumed me faded, and for a moment, I drifted in darkness.

There was no pain, no weight on my body, just a sense of floating through endless nothingness. I tried to move, but there was no gravity, no ground beneath my feet, no air in my lungs.

Then, like a distant memory, I saw it-a soft silver glow in the far distance. It pulsed like a heartbeat, drawing me in.

I didn't know how, I reached for it, my body moving without effort, and suddenly the darkness broke apart. It shattered like fragile glass, revealing a world bathed in soft moonlight.

A rush of silver mist and soft moonlight flooded my vision, and before I knew it, my feet were touching solid ground.

The grass beneath my feet shimmered like stardust, a vast silver field stretching as far as the eye could see. The sky above was endless night, sprinkled with stars that flickered like tiny lanterns. A gentle breeze carried the scent of lavender and rain-a scent I knew all too well.

Then, I saw her.

Standing just a few feet away, Mariah watched me with a warm, knowing smile. My breath caught.

She looked exactly as I last saw her-dark locks tied in a bun, deep brown eyes filled with love and warmth. She wore a simple, flowing gown, and her tattoos shimmered like glitter.

Tears burned my eyes.
