Lyra POV The healer’s den had never felt so suffocating. Even before Lyra stepped inside, she could sense it—tension thick in the air, whispers lingering like shadows, something wrong beneath the surface. Nyx stirred uneasily. Something is off.

Ronan leaned against the wall, his expression unreadable. Mira stood near Selene, her brows furrowed slightly—something sharp hidden behind her calm. Something didn’t sit right. ⸻ Selene
