Lucian's POV
*****
Since he emerged from the moonlight well, he's felt changed. Different. Like he was put through fire and moonlight and came out reborn.
A celestial sovereign.
Power he's seen in his father and envied for years. The authority in his silent words. The way a room bows at his presence. The pressure that snapped in his chest anytime he questioned him.
All of it.
Now he had a chance to exert all that power without holding back.
"Amara!" He boomed, Alpha aura already lighting up his body like a descending sun. He stepped through a portal Kyren opened, supposed to lead them straight to wherever the hag was hiding.
Which should be here—
—A vast chamber covered in crystals, from the walls, to the ceilings and even the floor. Each crystal surface reflected like mirrors, breaking his reflection into multiple facets.
Behind him, Elian lingered close while Kyren flanked his right, closing the portal with a flick of the wrist.
