"I know you can't leave the pack, and I won't force you. And also… I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise to always be with you. I…" Aria's words were cut off because Lyod was now pulling her into his arms.
"I will do it. I won't let you suffer and struggle alone. If my growth can also help you survive, I will. I'm even willing to forsake my position here just to protect you."

"But can you give me some time? I have to notify dad and track down Harland's whereabouts. I don't know his purpose for getting black magic, plus I'm losing track of the growing group of rogues. As you know, only I can use magic among werewolves. If I go, I'm afraid… my father won't be able to handle it."
Aria nodded her head in understanding. "I understand. I'll be waiting whenever you're ready." even so, Aria knew she didn't have much time.
The stronger the dark force within her, the greater the risk she must face while undergoing this god trial.
