For a breath, everything stopped. Sound blurred. Movement faded. Only that name echoed in her ears. Sienna. She didn’t need a last name. Everyone in the pack knew Sienna. The one whose absence left silence in Xander’s eyes. The one wrapped in every rumour, every glance, Aria had spent years pretending not to notice. But there was no room for ghosts
