CHAPTER 91 The Awakening of Truth

  Avery's POV

  A strange sensation pulsed through my veins, unlike anything I had ever felt before. It wasn't just a tingle or a shiver, it was something deeper, something alive.

  A slow warmth spread beneath my skin, wrapping around my bones like liquid fire, humming softly as though it had always been there, waiting for the right moment to awaken. It wasn't unpleasant, but it wasn't familiar either. It was… different.

  And then, I felt her.

  Nova.

  She stirred inside me, no longer distant and muffled as she had been over the last couple of days; her presence was more prominent now. This wasn't the faint whisper of her presence I had grown used to, the hollow ache of an absence I couldn't explain.

  No, she was here. Awake. Fully, completely. I could feel her energy pressing against mine, strong and vivid, as if she had been locked away and was only now breaking free.
