CHAPTER 226
~Kaid's POV~
Richard's brows shot up, and I felt my chest tighten. "What are you talking about?" I demanded.
"You've already felt it," she said, her voice steady. "The pull. The unexplainable connection. You think it's about an old promise, but it's more than that, Kaid. Zara's destiny is tied to yours in ways you cannot yet comprehend."
My wolf growled in the back of my mind, unsettled but intrigued. "And what does that have to do with you?"
Siona's smile returned, but it was tinged with sadness. "I am but a guide, Alpha. I was there because she sought answers—answers about her place, her past, and her future."
"And what did you tell her?" I pressed.
"Enough to prepare her," she said simply. "But not enough to overwhelm her. Zara's path is already fraught with danger, Kaid. If you care about her safety, as you claim, you'll play your role when the time comes."
