Aria's Pov
I blinked my eyes open, feeling like I'd been asleep for days instead of hours. The infirmary's sterile scent filled my nostrils as I tried to piece together my memories.
"Davina, I dream about a shadow wolf attacking the medical ward but it doesn't feel like a dream, is it true?" I asked my inner wolf silently.
"It's true," Davina replied in my mind. "That really happened."
As the fog in my head started to clear, I noticed Tom and Jeremy on the other side of the room, along with four imposing guards. Mellie appeared at my bedside, her kind face etched with concern as she began examining me.
"How are you feeling, Aria?" she asked gently.
I opened my mouth to respond, but found my voice wouldn't cooperate. Instead, I gave a small nod and allowed Mellie to continue her examination. Across the room, Tom and Jeremy were stirring, looking just as disoriented as I felt moments ago. Our eyes met, and matching grins spread across their faces as recognition dawned.
