The Alpha Bond 234

Stormi's POV

The first thing I felt was warmth.

Not the warmth of the moonlight or the ethereal glow of the spirit realm. This was something deeper, stronger-the warmth of touch, of arms wrapped around me, of familiar scents and heartbeats pounding against my skin.

I was alive.

My fingers twitched, brushing against fabric, against hands that held me as though I might disappear again.

Slowly, I blinked, my vision still adjusting. My body felt different-lighter, but also... whole.

Then, my eyes focused.

Elijah. Isaiah, Austin. Alex.

Their faces hovered above me, a mix of shock, disbelief, and raw, unfiltered emotion.

Elijah was the first to break. His breath hitched, and his forehead dropped to my shoulder, his entire body shaking as if he had been holding himself together for far too long.

Austin let out a sharp, broken laugh, running a hand over his face as if to make sure this wasn't some cruel illusion.

Isaiah just knelt beside me, his usual stoic mask completely shattered. He wasn't saying anything, but his hand was gripping mine so tightly it felt like he was afraid

to let go.

Alex-sweet, strong Alex-pressed his forehead to mine, his breath shaky as he whispered, "Don't ever do that again."

I smirked, my voice hoarse. "What took you so long?"

The tension shattered.

Austin let out a full, disbelieving laugh, rubbing his hands down his face. Elijah shook his head, exhaling sharply, while Isaiah exhaled a deep breath, closing his eyes for a moment.

Then, they pulled me into them, their arms tightening, holding me as if they would never let go.

I buried myself into them, letting their warmth, their presence, seep into my bones.

I had been ready to let go-I had accepted my fate. But they hadn't.

And because of them, I was here. I was back.

Then, the world shifted.

A presence far greater than any of us rippled through the air, making my skin tingle.

I turned my head, and there she stood.
