Granny Weatherwax didn't hold with looking at the future, but now she could feel the future looking at her. She didn't like its expression at all.

Rosie the shark is a preserved great white shark that was located at Wildlife Wonderland in Bass, Australia. In 2012 when the wildlife park closed, Rosie was left there to be forgotten in her tank still filled with flormaldehyde. Over the years since her eerie and mysterious exhibition has become a popular urban exploration site until 2019 when she was rescued and restored by Tom Kapitany and is now on display at Crystal World Exhibition Centre in Devon Meadows, Australia.

Chapter 6: Shadows of Worry

Days turned into weeks, and Y/n found herself struggling with the increasing worry for Azriel. She continued her training and her duties within the Night Court, but her thoughts were never far from him. The nights were the hardest, as she lay awake, imagining the dangers he faced and hoping he would return safely.

One evening, Y/n was in the training yard, working through a set of exercises Azriel had taught her. Cassian watched from a distance, his eyes filled with concern for his sister. As she finished her set, he approached, handing her a water bottle.

"You're getting better," he said with a smile. "Azriel would be proud."

Y/n took the water bottle and nodded, trying to muster a smile. "I hope so."

Cassian’s expression softened. "I know it's hard, Y/n. But he’s one of the best. If anyone can make it back safely, it’s Azriel."

"I know," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper. "I just miss him so much."

Cassian pulled her into a hug, his strong arms offering comfort. "We all do. But you need to stay strong. For him."

Y/n nodded against his chest, drawing strength from her brother's presence. "I will. Thank you, Cass."

That night, Y/n found herself unable to sleep once again. She wandered through the halls of the House of Wind, eventually finding herself in the library. The quiet, familiar space brought her a small measure of comfort, and she settled into her favorite corner with a book.

As she read, she felt a presence nearby. Looking up, she saw Rhysand standing in the doorway, his expression gentle. "Mind if I join you?" he asked.

"Of course not," Y/n replied, offering him a small smile.

Rhysand sat down across from her, his gaze thoughtful. "I wanted to check on you. I know this is a difficult time."

"It is," Y/n admitted. "I try to stay busy, but it’s hard not knowing if he’s okay."

Rhysand nodded, understanding in his eyes. "Azriel is resourceful and incredibly skilled. He’ll do everything in his power to come back to you."

"I know," she said softly. "I just... I feel so helpless."

"You're not helpless," Rhysand said firmly. "You're doing everything you can to stay strong. And that means a lot to Azriel. He draws strength from knowing you believe in him."

Y/n looked down, tears welling up in her eyes. "I just wish I could do more."

"You’re doing enough," Rhysand assured her. "And when he returns, he’ll need you to be the strong, resilient person he fell in love with."

Y/n nodded, wiping away her tears. "Thank you, Rhysand. I needed to hear that."

He smiled warmly. "Anytime. We’re all in this together."

Weeks continued to pass, and Y/n found herself developing a routine to cope with Azriel's absence. She trained diligently with Cassian, seeking to improve her skills and find a sense of empowerment. She spent time with Rhysand and Feyre, who offered their own forms of support and distraction.

One evening, as Y/n was sketching in her journal, she heard a commotion outside. Her heart leaped into her throat as she rushed to the balcony, hoping against hope that it was news of Azriel.

To her relief and joy, she saw a familiar figure descending from the sky. Azriel landed gracefully in the courtyard, looking weary but unharmed. Y/n didn’t wait—she ran down the stairs, her heart pounding with anticipation.

When she reached him, Azriel turned just in time to catch her as she threw herself into his arms. "Azriel," she breathed, her voice choked with emotion. "You're back."

He held her tightly, his own relief evident in his eyes. "I'm back," he whispered. "And I missed you more than words can say."

They stood there for a long moment, wrapped in each other's arms, the world around them fading away. Finally, Azriel pulled back slightly, looking down at her with a tender smile. "I kept my promise."

Y/n nodded, tears streaming down her face. "You did. And I never stopped believing you would."

Azriel pressed a gentle kiss to her forehead. "Let's go inside. There’s so much I need to tell you."

Later, as they sat together in the quiet of the library, Azriel recounted his mission. He spoke of the dangers he faced, the information he gathered, and the constant thoughts of Y/n that kept him going. She listened intently, her hand in his, feeling a mix of pride and relief.

When he finished, Azriel looked at her, his eyes filled with love. "I couldn’t have done it without you, Y/n. Knowing you were here, waiting for me, gave me the strength to keep going."

Y/n squeezed his hand, her heart full. "And I’ll always be here for you, Azriel. No matter what."

As they sat in comfortable silence, Y/n felt a strange, tingling sensation in her chest. It started as a warm glow and slowly intensified, spreading through her entire body. She looked up at Azriel, her eyes wide with realization.

"Azriel," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I can feel it... the bond. It's... it's clicking into place."

Azriel's eyes softened with relief and joy. "I've known for a while, but I wanted you to feel it too. To recognize it on your own."

Tears of happiness filled Y/n’s eyes as she reached up to touch his face. "We're mates," she said, the words feeling both strange and right on her lips.

Azriel nodded, his own eyes shining with emotion. "Yes, we are. And nothing will ever change that."

In that moment, the bond between them solidified, an unbreakable connection that transcended time and distance. As they held each other, Y/n knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together, bound by a love that was meant to be.
