Serena stopped abruptly, holding up her hand. The group halted behind her.
"Everyone stay behind me." Her tone left no room for negotiation.
"Serena," Dex and Fin both said at the same time, in the same way. They both took a step forward, only to have a pink dome snap around the group, which consisted of everyone except for her.
"Serena." Dex slammed his palm against the barrier. "No."
"Serena, take this down," Fin snapped, his wolf surging. "Now."
Two apex alphas stood shoulder to shoulder, palms flat against a glowing pink dome, wearing identical expressions of fury.
Behind them, Hale was already sitting down. Avalon chirped from his chest, unbothered.
By the time Dex hit the dome a third time, the rest of the group had settled in. Elara was leaning against Hale, petting Avalon. Gav was lying flat on his back staring up at the pink ceiling.
Hyran was watching Aeron sketch a rune.
