The night was quiet, the stars twinkling above as I watched Aria from the shadows as she practiced alone, a habit of hers every night. Her movements were graceful and powerful, every step she took filled with purpose. I had been keeping my distance, observing her every move, trying to keep my presence hidden. It wasn't easy, but it was necessary.
She trained with an intensity that was mesmerizing, and I couldn't help but feel a swell of pride as I watched her. My mate, so strong and determined. But the closer we got to the impending war, the more conflicted I became.
