Chapter 94

DANTE'S POV

The thought echoed in my mind, louder than the crackling flames.

I looked again, squinting through the thick smoke, and that was when I saw the sparkle—the familiar sparkle from the diamond bracelet I had given her. It kept on catching the light from the flames, flashing like a warning, and my breath caught in my throat.

It had to be Aria. It was really her.

“Aria!” I shouted, my voice rough, but there was no answer. My pulse spiked as panic clawed its way up my chest. I couldn’t waste any more time.

Without even thinking for more than a second, I rushed into the flames, my body moving on instinct.

The intense heat was suffocating, the smoke thick enough to choke me, but I didn’t care. My mind was a blur, my only thought to get to her. To save her.
