AT THE SAME TIME
XAVIER'S POINT OF VIEW:
The ticking in my head from the system countdown was like a war drum steady, threatening, impossible to ignore. 23:51:03 Too fast. Time was slipping too fast. Then, in the center of my chest, I felt it. Aiden, my wolf, rising, not in a snarl or growl, but in calm, loud authority that shook my bones.
"The stabilizer is in the royal vault. Beneath Jaxon's castle. Forged by the old kings. Meant to hold divine anomalies in place. It will work on them."Aiden said.
I blinked, stunned by the clarity of his voice. For once, everyone else heard it too. The air shimmered slightly with his presence, like heat rippling across the walls. Selene's eyes widened.
"A stabilizer? That's ancient tech. I thought it was destroyed."Selene said.
The moment Aiden's voice echoed about the stabilizer, the room shifted.
"The stabilizer is in the royal vault. Beneath Jaxon's castle." Aiden said.
Selene looked alarmed.
