Chapter 171

Aria's POV Viktor stood quietly behind us with an unreadable look on his face as he stared at us. Raven released a long sigh of relief, as she finally lowered her guard. Silent footsteps coming from behind drew my attention, and I turned my head. It was Lilith. She stood at the end of the destroyed hallway, beside a broken pillar. Her hair was the bright vibrant red colour that I saw from my visions, and her skin was no longer gray and sunken in like before. She was alive, and she recovered very fast. Her eyes found mine first, and she gave me a small nod, silently telling me that she was okay. I gave a small smile in reply. Then she turned to Viktor. Viktor stared at her, completely frozen. He didn’t blink. He didn’t move. Lilith took a cautious step forward, toward him. “Viktor,” she called softly, her voice trembling. “It’s me.” Viktor finally blinked, then, without a word, he began to move. He stopped in front of Lilith, and for a moment he just stared at her, like he was dreaming.
