Aldric's POV

Orven laid seven vials out on the table in my office. Each one glowed amber under the bright light.

It was the vials he'd given me before, now activated and ready to use.

The Sentinels stood in a line in front of him. All of them were silent, staring at those vials with distrust.

They might not trust Orven, but I did. He'd worked with me for decades. If he promised the liquid in these vials would help the Sentinels defeat the Dracti, then it would happen just like that.

    Mira's POVI arrived at Alina's house at the earliest crack of dawn. I intended to be back on campus before the day properly broke.She opened the door as soon as I knocked. It was as if she was already waiting to let me in."Did you get the hair?" she asked when she noticed Serena wasn't with me."Yeah, I got it."She stepped aside and I hurried in. The usual smell of dried herbs and old wood wafted into my nostrils. She offered me a seat on a worn out couch and then sat next to me."Where is it?"I pulled the strands of hair out of my pocket. She took it from me and went to a table close to the window to drop it."This won't take long, right?" I asked."Are you in a hurry?""I need to return to the campus before the morning sessions. I can come back if it will take long. . .""It won't."She poured water into a bowl from a clay jug. Then she cast some spells. The water rippled without her touching it.I watched as she poured black powder on the surface of the water.The ripples stop

    Aldric's POVJust after midnight, we got the confirmation we needed that the Dracti was in the cave. It began to snore loudly."Why won't it snore?" Corwin grumbled. "After all the heavy meals."I signaled to the Sentinels. "Let's attack now, before it wakes."We crept forward in a line, our blades drawn. We had already discussed tactics. Blades first, guns next and then we would fight in our shifted form. The Sentinels already told me they all shifted into the same animal. The Jaguar. "You mean all Sentinels are jaguar shifters?" I'd asked Corwin."Yes, we're all capable of shifting into jaguars. We all have our individual beasts, but we shift into Jaguars for uniform attacks."~The moment of truth is here~A heavy blood stench hit me hard as we passed the entrance. It was way worse than what we encountered in the clearing.The Dracti lay curled against the cave wall, massive, black scales rising and falling with each slow breath. It was bigger than they described. Way bigger than I

    Aldric's POVArmed with blades, guns and the fire magic Orven gave us, we tracked the Dracti all through the day. We moved based on witness reports and footprints we found.A farmer had seen it cross his field at dusk. A shepherd further south swore he'd watched it drag something into the woods before he and his sheep ran. Every account told us it was heading closer and closer to where more people lived. And that was what we didn't want."This way," Corwin crouched low over a fresh print and touched the edges. "It's warm. We're getting close to it."We followed the trail until we got to the edge of a thick bush.Fenn, one of the younger Sentinels, slowed his steps beside me and sniffed the air. "I can smell blood ahead."I smelled it, too. The Dracti must be close by. I prepared myself mentally for the battle ahead. I was ready to shift in a blink and take on that beast with the other fighters. Or pull out a weapon and attack. It depended on what the situation required.We followed th

    Caden's POVMy third bottle of whiskey was almost empty when Riven found me in the corner of the common room."You're really doing this," he said, dropping into the chair across from me. "Drinking alone. That's new.""I'm not alone anymore." I smiled at him. "You're here."His brows shot up, “You're drunk.” He studied me for a second. “Is this still about Mira?"I didn't answer. I poured another glass and drank it down faster than I should have. My chest burned, but it was nothing compared to the pain of getting tortured by Mira. ~She keeps hanging out with that guy. She won't apologize for letting him hold her. . ~"Caden?""Yeah?""Why are you drinking this much? You're going to have a terrible hangover tomorrow. How will you handle the tasks for tomorrow?""I'll worry about that in the morning."Riven shook his head. "I know this is about Mira. You just don't want to say it." "I don't want to talk about it.""Clearly. That's why you're on your third bottle when you should be in b

    Mira's POVI made it back to campus just before lights out. I ran so hard that my legs were on fire. My lungs burned from the run. I slipped my hands in my pocket and touched the silver ring and the razor I bought after I left Alina. That was the essence of my visit to the healer.I had two options to get Serena to Alina.Most students were already in their hostels, relaxing after another demanding day. I struggled to catch my breath as I headed straight to Serena's room in the dormitory. After loosing her memories, she'd packed up from my corner and left, putting distance between us.Now, I opened the door and stepped in.Priscilla and Kayla sat cross-legged on Serena's bed, a deck of cards spread between them. They were laughing as they played. A wave of jealousy swept through me. This was my best friend and Vessa snatched her from me. Making her associate with Kayla and Priscilla. I'd never seen her with those girls before.They looked up as I approached the bed. Their smiles fad

The best the Sentinel Accord had to offer at the moment. They were ready to shed their blood to defend this realm. And all of them had agreed to take the fire magic potion to aid them in the battle against the Dracti."One at a time," Orven said. "Open your mouth. Don't swallow until I tell you."Corwin stepped forward first. He was tall and broad-shouldered. He'd been the head of the Sentinel Accord for years. He stood right in front of Or

    Mira's POVI was still enjoying my sleep when something landed on my bed. I jolted awake, heart lurching. My hand already reached for the blade I kept under my pillow. Then I saw what was on my bed. A black attire packed in a cellophane wrap.What's this?I rubbed up eyes and grabbed the package. T
