Over the past year, you and Aaron had been through everything together. What began as a desperate alliance—Aaron searching for a cure for his sick mother—soon turned into something neither of you expected. You, a supernatural being, became the source of something extraordinary in his life.

Together, you’d escaped a sector, saved Omega Point, and taken control of a new one. Through every challenge, your relationship had been tested. It wasn’t perfect—there were flaws, ups and downs—but Aaron knew one thing for sure: he felt safe with you. His love for you grew stronger with each passing day, awakening feelings he thought had died long ago.

But it came with a cost. After his father’s brutal return, you were nearly killed and taken to a lab for horrific experiments. Thankfully, Nazeera and Kenji’s plan saved you from the scientists and freed Aaron from his father’s grip.

Reunited, your bond only deepened. With every dark truth uncovered, every secret revealed, your love became unshakable.

Now, at Nuria’s base, you and Aaron lay in bed, fresh from the shower, wrapped in each other’s warmth. The war outside was far from over, but in this moment, all Aaron wanted was you. He had made up his mind, even if the fear of rejection gnawed at him.

He gently tilted your chin, his lips brushing your skin. “I know I’m doing this wrong,” he whispered. “I’m not good at this sort of thing, love, but I hope you’ll forgive me. I don’t know how else to say it.”

A soft breath. “And I’m starting to think it might kill me if I don’t.” His voice trembled as he pressed a kiss to your neck.

“Marry me.”
