ARIA POV
I looked up and saw something that changed everything I thought I knew about werewolves, about magic, and about my own fate.
The Moon Goddess herself was descending from the kies, and she looked absolutely furious.
"Oh," my father's Shade whispered, his confident smile finally fading. "This is unexpected."
The Moon Goddess hit the ground like a fallen star.
The impact sent shockwaves through the ground, knocking everyone—Devourers, werewolves, and me—flat on our backs. When the dust cleared, she stood in the middle of a perfect circle of silver light, and I had never seen anything so beautiful or terrifying in my life.
"ENOUGH," she said, and her voice made the mountains shake.
My father's Shade stumbled backward, his ghostly form quivering like a candle in the wind. "Selene, I—"
"Silence, Astron," the Moon Goddess snapped. "You were banished from this realm for good reason."
