Kaiden's eyes narrowed. His mouth opened, ready to tell Sasha exactly where she could shove her suggestion. But before he could utter a word, Aria's voice cut through the tension like a razor blade dipped in frost. Her usual serenity was nowhere to be seen.

Sasha blinked, confused. "Excuse me?"
"You're rookie members of Nova Circuit," Aria explained. "The agreement made wasn't between you, Sasha. Nor you, Vaelira. Certainly not you, Jack."
Her gaze passed over each of them slowly, staring into their eyes.
"The deal was struck between Valhalla's Sinners and Tessa, the leader of your guild."
