Selene's snarl echoed through the chamber, her fire flaring in response to the shock rippling through her. "What?!" she barked, her voice laced with anger and disbelief. But Seraphina only smiled.
It was a sad smile, soft yet weighted with something deeper. Something unreadable.
"There's a lot you need to know, Selene," she said gently. "But now is not the time for explanations."
Her voice carried an unshakable certainty, as if she alone understood the path they were walking. There was something in her tone. a purpose. A plan far greater than the battle raging outside.
Selene's fiery eyes narrowed with suspicion.She did not trust this.
She did not trust the way Seraphina was choosing to move.
Not after everything.
"Why?" Selene's voice came low and sharp, her flames twisting tighter around her form. "Why are you connected to that mortal girl?"
Her words dripped with resentment.
