Chapter 208
~Zara’s POV~
"That was me. I sent that message."
The priestess words came crashing down, leaving me speechless. My mind reeled, trying to piece together everything she had just revealed.
The anonymous messages I’d ignored, the strange dreams I had dismissed as stress—all of it had been her.
Her piercing gaze softened slightly as though she understood my disbelief. "My name," she said calmly, "is Siona. I am a guide, a priestess or a watcher and the one entrusted to set you on your path."
I swallowed hard, forcing to keep my pounding heart at ease. "What path? What do you want from me?"
Siona’s lips curved into a faint smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes. "You were not brought back just to rewrite your fate, Zia. You were reborn because this world needs you. A great calamity is coming, one that will tear apart not just the packs but the entire continent."
"What calamity?" I demanded, my voice rising despite the eerie calm of the forest.
"The balance of power is shifting," she replied gravely. "The Thorned Crescent Pack, the Shadow Clave, and others you do not yet know conspire in darkness. They seek to unleash a force that will consume us all. Innocent lives—pack members, children—will be lost unless they are stopped."
