LeahNoxx's brow lifted, and a low chuckle rumbled through him. “She will awaken with you. When your soul reenters your body, she'll be there. But it will take time for her powers to completely adjust. You've been dead. Your body needs to relearn how to house a guardian wolf. The full bond won't settle immediately.”Meaning I'd be going into whatever came next without Andromeda's full strength behind me. Weakened. Vulnerable. Fighting a war with half my arsenal still assembling itself.“Adromeda is your wolf but she is a selfish beast. She is a wolf that emerged from Asena and not the Moon Goddess. She is powerful but with that power comes her strong will and selfish nature.”“Sacrificing my life for her own gain.” I snorted.“Exactly.

LeahThe mountain was trying to kill us before we even reached it.Wind slammed into Keanu’s flank with the force of a battering ram, throwing him sideways.

His body shifted beneath me with the fluid mechanics of a creature born to the sky, adjusting

 LeahI reached for it the way I always had. For the familiar sensation of bones realigning, fur pushing through skin, the wolf inside me rising to meet the surface. But the pull felt wrong. Empty. Like reaching for a doorknob that wasn't there anymore. The connection to my old wolf, the shadow of Andromeda that had been my companion before death, was gone. Severed. The version of my wolf I'd known my entire life, the quieter presence that had stirred during moments of crisis and lent me fragments of borrowed strength, no longer existed.No, Leah. Andromeda's voice was patient. Almost gentle. You aren't connecting with that shadow of a wolf. It's gone. It wasn't the real me. It was a whisper of what I truly am. Let me push forward and take the wheel. I know trust is earned. But yo
