THE PATH TO IONA

KIERAN'S POV

We bid Draego farewell, its ancient presence still lingering in the back of my mind as we made our way toward Iona, deep into the mountains. The path ahead was long, but I felt a certain peace settle over me, a calmness that had grown over time.

Elias, Jack, and Leo surrounded me as we walked, each of them close, their steady presence a constant comfort. I moved with a carefree nature, feeling the bond between us stronger than ever before. Our mating bond had flourished, each passing day deepening the connection we shared. The love I felt for them, and the love they gave me in return, was beyond anything I had ever known.

As we walked, I thanked the realm silently, grateful for the blessing of such wonderful mates. Despite everything—my past, the darkness I had once been consumed by—I had found something pure and true with them. It was more than I ever expected, and I was determined to cherish it.
