"He's back," Sera breathed, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Lucian."
"I felt you," Lucian murmured, his gaze locking with hers. "Your power, your love... it called to me."
Ryker's eyes darkened, a flicker of possessiveness in their depths. "We've built a life here, Sera," he said, his voice low. "A family."
"And he's a part of it," Sera insisted, her hand reaching for Lucian's. "All of it."
"Are you sure, Sera?" Lucian whispered, his hand tracing the curve of her jaw. "This bond... it's for eternity."
"More than sure," she replied, her voice laced with a raw desire. "I want you both. I need you both."
"Then claim us," Ryker growled, his voice a low rumble. "Make us yours."
"Lucian," Sera whispered, her touch sending shivers down his spine. "You are my shadow, my strength, my redemption. I claim you."
"And Ryker," she breathed, her lips brushing against his ear. "You are my light, my laughter, my unwavering loyalty. I claim you."
"We claim you too, Sera," Lucian murmured, his voice thick with emotion.
"Forever and always," Ryker added, his lips finding hers.
"We built this," Sera whispered, her voice filled with a quiet contentment, watching their child play. "A world filled with love."
"And hope," Lucian added, his eyes locking with hers.
"An eternity," Ryker finished, his arms wrapping around them both.
