Chapter 337

• Aria’s POV
• Aedric’s roar ripped through the chamber, a sound so powerful the torches flickered violently, casting jagged shadows across the marble. His wolf pressed against my senses, furious and hungry, and Sia responded in kind, coiling and growling like a living whip inside me. My heart thumped wildly, every nerve on fire.
• The moon reached its zenith, spilling silver across the altar, painting the hall in ethereal light. Every shadow sharpened, every breath crackling with power. Sia screamed, urging me forward, guiding me toward Lucien’s golden blaze. My feet moved on instinct, stumbling, leaping over the polished floor until I was in front of him.
