ARIA POV
From the trees came another sound – not the triplets calling, but something else. Something that made Luna Raven's eyes go wide with terror.
"That's impossible," she whispered
The howl that split the night wasn't from any regular wolf.
It was the sound of Elder Malin's Enforcers.
And they'd found us all.
The silver cage slammed shut around me.
I threw myself against the bars, but they held strong. Magic hummed through the metal, making my skin burn where I touched it.
"Let me out!" I screamed.
Luna Raven stood outside the cage with her arms crossed. "You'll thank me later, child. This is for your own protection."
"Protection from what?" I asked. "The Enforcers are coming! We need to fight together!"
"We need to break your false bonds first," Luna Storm said coldly. "Before they destroy you completely."
