By noon, there was still no news, which was extremely devastating for Aira. It was even worse knowing how many people were out there looking for her sister, yet she remained unfound.
Worry slowly descended on her like rain—first in tiny droplets, right before it became a storm she couldn't get rid of no matter how much she tried.
She asked for more men, and Zyren didn't hesitate to give them to her—enough that soon the entire city knew her sister was missing.
She was worried enough that she contacted Savira, the oldest vampire, asking if there was a way to find her. But all she got was a way to find out if her sister was still alive using their blood connection, which Aira instantly agreed to without batting an eye.
She was beyond relieved when Savira finally informed her that Liora was very much alive. Her lifeline looked steady, which meant she was safe—much to Aira's relief.
