As I struggled to stand, I could feel the weight of the amulet's power shifting, its hold on me weakening
As the blinding light from the amulet dissipated, I felt a mixture of relief and trepidation. The air crackled with energy, and I knew that the amulet's power was still very much present. But something had shifted—it no longer felt like an overwhelming force trying to control me.
Shadow and Christian rose to their feet, their eyes fixed on the amulet. "What just happened?" Christian asked, his voice tinged with awe.
"I resisted its influence," I replied, still trying to catch my breath. "Our love, the connection we share—it's stronger than the amulet's power."
Shadow took my hand in his, his touch sending a shiver down my spine. "Our love is our own," he said, his voice firm and unwavering.
Christian nodded, a look of determination in his eyes. "We won't let the amulet tear us apart," he declared.
