"The blood is the Mira and the Mira is the Blood"
The meeting had dragged on for two hours, tension thick in the air as plans were made and suspicions voiced. By the time we concluded, exhaustion clung to my bones like a heavy cloak. But my mind was far from rest.
Tor must have sensed it too. As we stepped out of the Kayne home, he laced his fingers with mine, his grip warm and grounding. "Come," he murmured, his golden eyes soft under the moonlight. "Let's go somewhere quieter and have a talk."
I nodded, casting a glance over my shoulder. Rou remained inside with Dante, Ma, Aurora, and Nessa, their hushed voices lingering in the air even as we stepped away. Aggrey and Armon had already left for Paradise Coven City, their mission clear. Listen, watch, and be ready.
