The sun had just barely risen, and I already held the ticket to Mountainview in my slightly trembling hand. In just a few hours, I would be back in the supernatural realm. Who knew what would happen after that; the fortune teller's words still echoed in my mind, leaving me more terrified than I expected.

"Be careful, or you'll lose everything," she had said as Enzo and I hurried away. I could still hear her voice in the back of my head as though she was still standing right there.

A generational curse. A stillborn baby. A vision. Was it all connected, or was it just a coincidence? I hoped it was the latter, of course, but I could never be too sure these days.

"You're sure you don't want me to come?" Enzo's voice pulled me out of my reverie, reminding me of where I was. We were standing at the bustling airport terminal. All around us, busy commuters and travelers hurried back and forth.

A man in a suit was talking loudly on a cell phone about stock prices. A young couple was excitedly weighing their bags, both of them dressed for the tropics. A single woman was chewing her lip and trying to make sense of the plane schedule. I felt just as lost and confused as her.

But I shook my head. "I'll be fine," I assured Enzo for what felt like the millionth time that morning. I gave his hand a squeeze. "I promise. Stay here, get your work done. We'll be together before you know it."

Enzo nodded, although I could see the worry still clouding his eyes. "Alright," he said. "But Nina, if anything goes wrong, I want you to call me right away. Okay?"

"I promise," I replied gently. "For the hundredth time this morning, I promise."

"Well, can you blame me for being worried?" He pulled me into a tight embrace, his arms wrapping around me as if he could shield me from the universe and its fickle behavior. "You have to stay safe, Nina. For yourself and for our baby."

I nestled my head against his chest, inhaling his familiar scent. "I will, Enzo," I whispered, my voice muffled by his shirt. "Don't worry. Everything will be just fine. You'll see."

We held each other for a long moment, savoring the closeness we were about to lose temporarily. Enzo's hand gently cradled the small bump on my belly, and I couldn't help but touch it too, as if reassuring our unborn child that everything would be okay.

When we finally pulled apart, our eyes met. "You'll call me every day, right?" he asked, his voice softer now.

I nodded, hot tears pricking at the backs of my eyes and threatening to spill. "I will. I'll keep you updated on everything, okay?"

A soft smile came across his lips as he leaned down to kiss me. He tasted like coffee, a familiar and comforting sensation. I normally hated public displays of affection, but I didn't care today. After what had transpired yesterday, I wasn't about to walk out of this terminal without kissing my husband in front of everyone.

As we broke apart, Enzo cleared his throat and gripped my hands tightly. "I love you, Nina. Don't forget that."

"I love you too, Enzo," I said with a half-chuckle. "But we'll only be apart for a few more days, right?"

He nodded, although hesitantly. I knew that Tim still wanted him to start working early, but it wasn't something we had discussed since it first came up.

There was too much on our plate right now to linger on it; all that mattered was that for now, I knew we would be together again in just a few days. Whatever happened after that was out of our hands.

With a final lingering gaze and a wave goodbye, I turned to head toward the security checkpoint. Each step away from Enzo felt like a knife twisting in my gut. Even my wolf howled in agony, not at our distance, but at the

uncertainty of what lay ahead.

The line at the security checkpoint moved slowly, giving me ample time to reflect on the decision we had made. I clutched the plane ticket in my hand, the promise of returning to my parents' realm providing a flicker of hope in the midst of my fear.
