(Amaia)
Aziel and my friends are having a conversation when I sense something wrong with Rigel. The unfiltered rage that fills the bond leaves my heart restlessly pounding.
"I need to get to Rigel," I hastily say. "Stay here."
Jumping to my feet, I start running in the direction of where I can feel him.
His mother's room…
His harrowing cries reach me before I can even see him. Pushing the door open, I enter the horror scene in front.
His shadows have left him and gathered around his mother as if trying to protect her and keep her away from him.
Rigel is kneeling on the floor, holding his head, doused in a visible darkness. His eyes have blown wide while he screams—unable to escape whatever nightmare he is trapped in. The anguish I witness on his face breaks me yet again.
"Rigel!" His mom is trying to get to him but failing miserably. His own shadows are holding her back.
"Stay back," I quietly warn her, rushing towards my mate.
