The Alpha's Prickly Porcupine
Someone has sabotaged the relic, and they’ve used me to bring the bait to their trap.
We are spiraling, a plummeting stone in a dark, uncaring sky, and for the first time since the night began, I realize that even the strength of a Silverfang is not enough to stop the inevitable. The corruption spreads from the ring, crawling up Aichonne’s arm like spiderwebs of ink. She screams, but the sound is swallowed by the rushing air. I tighten my grip on her, my own magic straining against the dark hold of the ring, but it is like trying to stop the tide with my bare hands.
