Alafia's Pov
I woke up to the gentle warmth of dawn creeping through my windows. My body still ached from the attack, but Alastor's presence outside reassured me.
I got dressed and stepped outside, finding Alastor standing watch, his eyes fixed on the horizon. His shadow loomed beside him, an ever-present guardian.
"Good morning," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.
Alastor turned, his gaze locking onto mine.
"Good morning," he replied, his voice low and gentle.
I approached him, feeling a sense of safety in his presence. His shadow nodded at me, its dark form rippling.
"Your shadow is...different," I said, curiosity getting the better of me.
Alastor smiled. "It's unique. Been with me for a very long time."
Suddenly, his shadow spoke, its voice like a soft breeze. "Indeed, Alafia. We've watched over you together."
I jumped, surprised. "Your shadow...it can talk?"
"Apparently, it's decided to speak up." Alastor chuckled.
His shadow bowed, it's dark form undulating. "We've been silent observers, but your bond with Alastor has...awakened me."
I stared, amazed.
"I've never heard you speak before. What's going on?" I asked.
The shadow's voice took on a hint of warmth.
"You're dear to us, Alafia. We'll always protect you. Alastor's love for you has given me a voice."
Alastor's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "It seems that my shadow has taken a liking to you."
I laughed, still in awe. "I'm glad. But why now?"
"The rival predator's attack showed us the depth of Alastor's devotion. We won't remain silent bystanders." His shadow replied.
"We'll face any threat together." Alastor says, his gaze intensifying.
"You're always watching over me, aren't you?" I say, placing my hand on his arm.
Alastor's eyes softened. "Forever, Alafia.”
As the sun rose higher, casting a warm glow over us, Alastor leaned in, his lips meeting mine. I felt his love, his protection, envelop me.
In that moment, everything else faded away, leaving only our love, strong and unbreakable.
