FAZER LOGIN“No…” she whispers. The word barely leaves her lips before the air around us drops a few degrees. Leaves skitter across the forest floor, despite there being no wind, and a nearby branch groans. Somewhere above us, birds explode from the treetops in a frantic chorus of wings and shrieks. I stay whe
**Bastian’s POV **The forgotten sister… the words seem to freeze the room for a moment. As if every person in the room and on the video call collectively holds their breath.Jake is the first to speak. “Is that what the voice said?” Poppy doesn’t answer. I can’t see her face from here, but the ten
Alaric presses his lips together, giving a small wave towards the phone, and Bastian bows his head slightly. “It looks like Ronnie found something, we thought you might want to hear it,” Callen says. “Hang on.” Muffled voices come through the speaker, and something thumps before Paige speaks agai
** Jake’s POV **The silence that settles after Ronnie’s words is uncomfortable. For a long moment, no one moves. The forest seems unnaturally still around us, as though even the birds have decided this isn’t a conversation they want any part of. Ronnie clears his throat. “So,” he says, his gaze d
