Chapter 326
~Kent’s POV~
—The Shadow Clave—
The air inside the Shadow Clave’s hall was thick with incense, the scent of burning herbs mingling with something darker—something ancient.
The torches lining the stone walls flickered unnaturally, their blue flames casting eerie shadows that danced like spectres.
I kept my posture straight, my hands clasped behind my back as I followed my father through the towering black doors.
The moment we stepped inside, a cold shiver ran down my spine. Not from fear—I had long since learned to keep my emotions locked away—but from the raw power that pulsed through this place.
At the far end of the chamber, Luna Slaton sat on a throne carved from obsidian, her sharp gaze fixed on us.
As beautiful as she was, she was a vision of control, her raven-black hair woven into an intricate braid, her deep violet robes pooling around her like liquid darkness.
Her daughter, Vera Slaton, stood at her right—the woman I was expected to marry. And the one who made me lose my love, Ella.
