The Abandoned Luna's Return
It was taking the shape of a massive, winged wolf made of pure darkness, its eyes glowing with Silas’s violet light.
The wolf let out a roar that shook the mountains, and then it turned and sprinted back toward the explosion, its claws tearing up the golden road.
"He's not gone," I whispered, a new, terrifying hope rising in my chest. "He’s just... evolved."
But as the wolf disappeared into the smoke, a cold hand landed on my shoulder.
I turned around, expecting Marcus.
Instead, I saw a man in a black suit, his face perfectly preserved, his eyes two voids of spinning gold.
