**Magnus’s POV**

**Finished**

Aysel stood before me, her delicate complexion aglow with a soft, rosy hue that seemed to illuminate the night. Her eyes sparkled with a bright, unfocused wonder, while her lips glistened, reminiscent of wildflowers thriving under the gentle caress of moonlight.

Without any warning, she turned to face me, her expression transforming into a radiant smile that felt utterly disarming—so vivid and warm that it sliced through the Shadowbane night like a brilliant blade of light.

For a fleeting moment, I found myself frozen, caught in the unexpected magic of her presence.

Then, in a swift motion, her slender arms encircled my neck, pulling me closer.

“Smack—”

The sound of her kiss reverberated through the tranquil darkness by the riverside, a silence so profound that only the keenest of wolves could sense the electric hum of the night beneath their skin.

Aysel giggled softly against my throat, her breath warm and inviting, a sweet aroma that wrapped around me like a comforting blanket. “Magnus… good wolf,” she murmured, her voice a playful melody.

My gaze deepened, instincts awakening within me. “If I’m a good wolf, does that mean you can kiss me whenever you want?” I teased, my heart racing with the thrill of the moment.

But reason had no place in the mind of someone who was half-drunk, half-wolf, and entirely unguarded.

“Smack.”

Another kiss landed on the opposite side of my face, light and playful.

Her chin rested against my chest, those mischievous eyes sparkling with a delightful challenge. “Magnus… do you want to see me dance?” she asked, her tone filled with a childlike excitement.

I tightened my arm around her waist, raising an eyebrow in mock seriousness. “You said last time you’d prepare properly.”

For a brief second, her expression went blank, as if she were lost in thought. “Hmm?” she replied, momentarily confused.

Then, with a determined nod—one that seemed to convince only herself—she declared, “Doesn’t matter. I want to dance. I’ll dance now.”

And with that, I found myself with no choice but to be her sole audience, stripped of the right to refuse her whim.

Amused by her dazed state yet somehow impressed that she remembered the music, I watched as she fumbled with my phone, struggling to find the right button for what felt like an eternity before finally succeeding.

She was still steady enough to stand, not quite drunk enough to collapse.

When she rose, she swayed gently at first… then found her balance.

With a swift motion, she kicked off her heels, leaving them behind as she padded barefoot three meters away, halting right at the water’s edge.

Behind her, the vast river stretched out, shimmering under the moonlight, while across the water, the city glowed with vibrant colors, painting the skyline in hues of bright life. Aysel stood bathed in that ethereal light, her black dress swirling around her calves, and then she began to dance.

Her beauty sharpened with every movement; her body flowed with grace. Each step, each breath, seemed like poetry brought to life through her very being.

She danced to “Tide Rises”—the complete version.

The same piece that Celestine Ward had once stolen fragments from, a fact that lingered in my mind like a shadow.

I recalled hearing that the first time Giovanna laid eyes on Aysel was years ago, during a lecture she had given at a local middle school.

It was a quiet afternoon, the sun casting warm rays into a dance room where Aysel, still delicate and youthful, had moved with a silent yet fierce intensity.

By that time, “Tide Rises” had already begun to take shape.

There are creatures that dwell in the sea, living by the ebb and flow of the tide—born when it rises, meeting their end when it falls. Their fleeting lives were consumed by the relentless ocean, struggling against the currents, refusing to be swept away, breaking free, blooming in agony.

Giovanna had never anticipated that a girl so young could grapple with the profound concepts of life and death.

But Aysel’s talent was nothing short of overwhelming.

Touched by her gift, Giovanna had taken it upon herself to mentor Aysel privately on numerous occasions—until she found herself longing to claim Aysel as her disciple.

“Tide Rises” was their first and only collaboration.

Giovanna believed that if it had premiered back then, it would have rivaled, perhaps even eclipsed, “Chasing the Wind.”

The emotions woven into it were too rich, too heavy—heavy enough to draw tears from any onlooker.

And now, years later, I stood as the sole witness to this masterpiece.

I couldn’t say which part Celestine Ward had pilfered, but I knew with unwavering certainty that whatever she had taken was a mere shadow of the original’s soul.

Aysel moved as if she truly rose with the tide, experienced its fall—struggling through despair, breaking free from invisible chains, blooming wildly in the darkness before collapsing just as fiercely.

My wolf, Rafe, fell silent, his presence still and watchful.

I followed her movements with an intense gaze, deep and unblinking.

“Tide Rises” was named for life, yet its conclusion was steeped in death.

Her dress, swirling with elegance, gradually began to lose height.

The wind brushed against her, a gentle caress.

A serene, relieved smile blossomed on her face as she looked up at the sky, as if she had completed her journey.

With open hands, she surrendered… and let herself fall.

Back toward the “sea.”

Straight into the darkness.

I moved before her dress even had the chance to touch the air.

My hands caught her—warm, solid, and unwavering.

Conclusion

In that moment, as I held Aysel in my arms, the world around us faded into a blur of shimmering lights and distant sounds. The weight of the night, once heavy with uncertainty and shadows, lifted away, replaced by an overwhelming sense of clarity and connection. Her laughter echoed in my ears, a melody that intertwined with the rhythm of the river, and I realized that this was more than just a fleeting encounter. This was a testament to our shared resilience, a dance of souls navigating the tumultuous waters of life. Aysel’s spirit radiated with an intensity that illuminated my own darkness, and in her surrender to the moment, I found a reflection of my own desires and fears.

As she gazed up at me, her eyes sparkling with trust and mischief, I understood that the journey we had embarked on was not merely about survival but about embracing the beauty of existence itself. The echoes of “Tide Rises” lingered in the air, a haunting reminder of the fragility of life and the power of love to transcend even the darkest of tides. I tightened my embrace, vowing to be her anchor against the storms that threatened to sweep us away. In that instant, I knew that together we could face whatever awaited us beyond the riverbank, our hearts intertwined like the currents of the water, forever changed by the magic of our midnight letters.
