"I want to protect you and our child," he said, his voice filled with determination. "We will face the Shadow Conclave together, and I will do everything in my power to ensure your safety."

As they pulled away, the golden hues of the sunset painted their surroundings, symbolizing the dawn of a new chapter in their lives. They were no longer just allies; they were partners embarking on the journey of parenthood.
