Fighting for the Light

LERRIN

Minutes later, the wolves surrounding him in stunned silence, Lerrin was back in human form, panting, standing over the dead and cooling corpse of Craye. And suddenly everything had become clear.

There was only one way to end this. And he should have used it right in the beginning. His father should have used it. It was right and true. It was how the Anima avoided war.

And it would likely be the end of him.

Lerrin brought his eyes up to search for Suhle. He found her, still standing in front of the birds, her eyes wide with shock whenever she looked at Craye or Asta's bodies. But she did not flinch away from them.

When she caught Lerrin looking at her, she nodded to him and put a hand to her heart.

Thank you, he sent.

What are you thanking me for? You did this, Lerrin. You're being true. You're fulfilling your purpose. Clearing the wolves of the darkness within will benefit everyone. I admire you, my Mate.
