Chapter 23

She then turned her regal form toward Aiden, bowing in submission.

“Do you think….” he began hesitantly, “That is… Ronan wants out.”

“I don’t see why not.” I responded thoughtfully.

That was all I could manage. It stood to reason that if he had manifested Liana’s spirit corporeally, that he could do the same with his own wolf.

“Try it…”

I looked on in awe as Aiden harnessed the spirit magic of the Druids. I saw the moment Ronan’s spirit was extracted and it took the form of a magnificent black wolf.

Ronan bowed his head submissively toward Aiden, a gesture of thanks, before he stalked toward Liana. They each looked at us for permission before taking off into the forest.
