    Summary

    As the infernal energy coursed through him and Rosie’s laughter faded into smoke, Alastor stood alone in that swamp shack, heart pounding with triumph—and terror.

    Mama was gone forever, ascended to a light he could never reach.
    But you were the only truly good thing left in his blood-soaked world. The only pure thing he’d ever been allowed to keep—gentle, trusting, his first little listener whose presence quieted the abuse he suffered at home.

    He couldn’t lose you too. Not to Heaven’s gates, where his stained hands could never follow.
    Separation was unthinkable. Eternity without you? Unacceptable.

    Better to drag you down with him—keep you close, keep you safe—than risk a single day apart.
    What was a soul (yours, his) compared to forever together?
    He turned toward home, shadows coiling obediently.
    You belonged with him. Always.
