Calisí;
My heart skips a beat, and everything in me pauses when I feel Avaren's pain. Someone's hurt him.
I turn away from Wilhelm and his sons, as my eyes start searching for Avaren.
That's when I see him.
A young boy, with his arms wrapped around one of the Alphas. His skin is glowing with white tiger-like patterns, and his eyes are pure white.
I see energy come off him and wrap around the Alpha in his arm. Energy that isn't visible to normal eyes.
Rhydian's wound immediately heals, and my brows knot.
Staring at him through all this chaos, I do not see a boy. No. What I'm staring at… is light. His aura shines despite the darkness like a sun refusing to set. Staring closer, I see threads of that light. Of his light. It's connected to the people around him…
Cassia, the beast who calls himself her son, the brothers, the guards, the people…all of them.
They are tied to him. Like he's giving them life.
He is the thread holding them together.
