A brilliant purple light began pouring from her eyes, casting an ethereal glow over the pup in her arms. The light pulsed gently, carrying an ancient power that seemed to fill the entire room.
Then, without warning, three screams erupted at once.
The first came from the newborn pup in Oriana's arms, followed almost immediately by Seraphine's exhausted cry. Relief swept through everyone when they realized the second scream belonged to Seraphine, who was still alive and conscious.
