Chapter 71

• Aria's POV
• Darkness wrapped around me, as thick and suffocating as a weighted blanket. It felt like I was sinking into a bottomless pit. I tried to move, to claw my way back to the surface, but it felt like I was trapped in quicksand.
• Flashes of my life began to swirl around me, as if my entire existence was playing out in slow motion. I saw Edward, my precious baby boy, his tiny hands reaching for me. I saw Denderick, his eyes filled with love as he reached out to me. I saw the pack, the chaos, the death.
