Chapter 19 She Is Awakening

• Kael’s POV
• I practically dragged Raya back to the fortress. She was exhausted, quiet, and felt like she was burning up, yet there was a new, frighteningly powerful pulse beneath her skin.
• I had her safely tucked away in a quiet room with the healers, but my wolf was still agitated. Something was wrong, fundamentally wrong, and the electric jolt that had thrown me back in the clearing was proof. The bond was awake, but it felt unstable, almost volatile.
