POV: Xavier "How many?" Luna asked. "At least a dozen. Maybe more." "We can handle a dozen," I said grimly. We circled around, staying low. The mate bond pulled at me, telling me Thelma was moving toward the central chamber. I felt her determination through our connection, and underneath it, the growing pressure of Morgana's corruption. We found a side entrance, poorly guarded. I took out the first guard silently, snapping his neck before he could sound an alarm. Luna handled the second with a spell that stopped his heart. Inside, the temple was cold and dark. The walls were covered in old bloodstains, centuries of sacrifices performed in Morgana's name. "This way," Elena whispered, leading us through twisting corridors. We encountered more guards. Fought them quietly, efficiently. I was operating on pure instinct now, my wolf in control, focused only on finding Finn. Then I smelled it. Children's fear, sharp and acidic in the air. "There," I pointed to a heavy wooden door.
