Seraphina's POV
"The Hollow Wolf comes." The voice was still sounding in the room like a curse, the assassin's ashes were moving around as if moved by a breath.
Kira muttered, "Spirits take it…" and increased more of her strength on her sword.
Caelum had walked in front of me and Lyric unknowingly, his broad back had blocked us as if he could stop shadows with muscle alone.
But my wolf said something in a low voice that sounded different in my head: "Not shadow but a broken balance."
I was filled with so much fear, holding Lyric tight. His eyes glowed faintly in my arms, the silver and gold were too wise for a child only weeks old.
And then, a new sound filled the chamber, it was like a bell ringing, and I turned.
The doorway was filled with the three women, covered in silver veils, their steps sounded fast, their presence was so heavy even Caelum had to pause. Their robes were shining.
