CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY NINE

When we reach the top of the tower, I can see that Sterling is there. He’s lying on the ground, looking as if he’s sleeping peacefully. He’s still wearing the moonstone collar that Coello locked around his neck.

I start to run toward him, but something stops me - the sight of a woman with massive pale green wings, like a luna moth. She descends from the sky and settles lightly on her feet, standing between me and Sterling.

“Who are you?” I ask, hesitant to approach an unknown celestial being but desperate to get to Sterling.

“My name is Parvana,” she says. Her voice is gentle and lilting. In some ways, she reminds me of Layla. “I have been watching over the shifter boy.”

“His name is Sterling,” Greyson says, stepping up to stand beside me. “And he’s my brother.”

“So I see,” Parvana says, her voice calm and light. She looks Greyson up and down with a soft smile.

“Is he okay?” I ask. “Can I see him?”
