Chapter 102 : Clarity

• Ivan spent the first hours educating Zera and Aaron on how the ritual would go, just like he had done the last two times, and it was a success. They listened, and Aaron always took his advice seriously because he was the wise one and looked out for their best interests.
• Just like the name of the last ritual showed, it would be a blood ritual under the crimson moon. It would be a unifying ritual to sync their union before the moon goddess. Their palms would be sliced open with a silver blade, and as the blood flows out, they will lock hands with each other. This would seal the bond faster and making them one in blood, mind, and soul.
• This ritual would seal the flow of power in Aaron’s body, as he would take power from hers, and she would become the navigator of this ability, strength, and power. Ivan had said being a sage had become an advantage, and he was right. Being outside in the cold under the crimson moon with her palm sliced open and untreated for many minutes would have been unbearable for the human Zera, but now she could endure it. It didn’t mean it was the safest. The pack lost more than half of its members last week, and now they are barely twenty.
