Chapter 109

• Aria's POV
• The next morning found me standing in front of the pack house, waiting. The crisp air of dawn hung around me, and I shivered, though it wasn’t from the cold.
• Today would be the beginning of something—something I had to face, no matter how much dread sat heavy in my chest. I had left Edward with one of the maids I trusted in the pack house. I couldn’t take him along, not to where we were going. There were too many questions, too many ghosts that needed to be confronted without distraction.
