My Sister Stole My Mate And I Let Her (Seraphina) novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417: Chapter 417 TINY SPARKS

SERAPHINA’S POV

Night settled over Nightfang like a held breath.

I stood at the edge of the clearing behind Daniel’s treehouse, my gaze lifting to the sky.

The moon hung low and full, its light spilling across the ground in a quiet, steady radiance that felt almost sacred, as if it knew what we were here to do.

Behind me, I could feel each presence.

Alois and Corin were both keyed in and ready, their psychic senses taut, prepared to step in if anything slipped.

Kieran was just to my right. Close enough that the edge of his presence pressed against mine, steady and grounded, reassuring me I was not alone.

Imani stood closer to the center of the clearing, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, her eyes wide with wonder and just a tinge of fear.

Aaron sat where we had placed him earlier, in the center of the clearing, his posture upright but wrong in a way that made something in my chest tighten every time I looked at him.

His eyes were open, but unfocused, fixed on nothing, as if whatever part of him should have been looking out had been locked somewhere deeper inside.

“We don’t have much room for error,” Corin said quietly from behind me.

I nodded once, still watching Aaron.

“I know.”

“As your anchor, the moon will amplify you,” Alois added, his voice measured. “But amplification doesn’t guarantee control.”

“I know that too.”

A pause.

Then, softer, “You don’t have to do this if you feel you’re not ready.”

I inhaled slowly, cool air filling my lungs.

“Yes,” I said. “I do. And I am.”

Because time wasn’t on our side.

Because every delay gave Catherine more space to move, to adjust, to tighten whatever hold she had over everything she touched.

And because...

My gaze flicked to Imani.

She hadn’t moved and hadn’t spoken. But the tension in her posture intensified with each passing second.

She needed this.

Not just for answers.

For herself and her son. For the family she never got to have.

“I won’t push past what I can handle,” I promised.

Alois voice was barely above a whisper, “See that you don’t.”

With that, I stepped forward.

The silver light shifted as I moved into it, brushing against my skin in a way that felt...aware.

Aaron didn’t react at first.

His gaze remained blank and empty, untouched by the change in the air around him.

I stopped a few steps in front of him, letting the silence stretch, letting myself settle into the moment instead.

I closed my eyes.

The Shift came easily.

The silver under my skin stirred, rising to meet the pull of the moon above. It threaded through me with a quiet, steady strength that felt less like power and more like alignment.

When I opened my eyes again, the world was sharper and brighter.

Everything shimmered, edges outlined in silver.

I could feel them all more clearly now.

Alois.

Corin.

Kieran.

Imani—her presence pulsed, fragile and desperate, reaching out to something that wasn’t fully there.

And Aaron...

I focused on him.

Faint. Fragmented. But not gone.

‘Alina,’ I called inward.

Her response came immediately, not as a voice but as a presence that rose alongside mine.

I stepped closer.

This time, Aaron reacted.

A flicker, so small I might have missed it if I hadn’t been looking for it.

His eyes twitched, just slightly, his brows furrowing with slight confusion at the silver wolf before him.

I felt the air charge, the space around us bending subtly as something older and far more powerful settled into place.

Aaron’s breath hitched as his eyes locked onto Alina’s.

There you are.

‘Aaron.’ My voice filtered gently into his mind, soft and cautious. ‘Can you hear me?’

For a second, nothing happened.

Then—

A shift.

Not in his body, in his mind.

Alina moved with me, our awareness aligning, and together we reached into him.

The world tilted that way it did when my consciousness slipped past the surface.

The clearing disappeared.

A small cluster caught my attention. The fragments there were dim, faint compared to the others, but they weren’t completely dark. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
