(Amelia's POV)
When Damien connected to the tree, I felt the power surge through the air, a ripple that moved like lightning.
A shield ignited around it instantly, a force so strong it hummed, vibrating through the ground beneath my feet.
I could sense the ancient magic within it, the roots of the earth binding to Damien's essence like it had found its rightful protector.
I sighed and moved away from the window, knowing that that was probably the last time I would ever see him again.
"To all supernatural beings-your king calls upon you!"
It was King Alastair's voice, calling through the link, resonating in my head like a war drum. The mind link wasn't just for us, it was sent to every supernatural being out there, a call to arms that no one could ignore.
I could feel the weight of his command, the urgency behind it. This wasn't just about Damien and me anymore, this was about the survival of our world.
