Dark power exploded toward the three brothers. Aria screamed as phantom chains held her back from helping them.
Then Caden moved. Despite the pain tearing through his body, he grabbed a loose stone from the cracked wall and threw it at the ancient creature.
The rock struck the silver-eyed monster in the face, breaking its focus for just a moment.
"Now!" Caden yelled through gritted teeth.
The magical chains around Aria snapped. She burst forward, silver light bursting from her eyes. Her power crashed into the dark magic, causing an explosion that shook the entire castle.
"Impossible," the creature growled, silver blood dripping from where the stone had cut its cheek.
"Nothing's impossible when you mess with my family," Aria growled.
But her win lasted only seconds. The other old creatures raised their hands, preparing to strike again.
The red-eyed one laughed as more rogues poured through the broken walls. "You can't fight us all, little Moon Wolf."
