AIDEN POV
The vampire landed on my back while I was trying to reach Lily.
I spun around, throwing him off as my Alpha training kicked in. Viktor, the vampire council leader, hit the basement wall hard but instantly bounced back to his feet, fangs bared.
"Stand down, wolf," he ordered. "The Guardian belongs to the vampire council now."
"Like hell she does," I snarled, placing myself between Viktor and Lily, who was still floating in dimensional energy, preparing to face Elena's attack.
"The Supernatural Accords are clear," Viktor said coldly. "Any being with power over multiple dimensions falls under joint council authority. She's too dangerous to stay with a single pack."
Before I could reply, the air shimmered with ice crystals. Prince Ash of the Winter Fae stepped through a portal, his face grim.
"Actually, the Guardian's dimensional abilities make her Fae property," Ash declared. "She exists between realities, which is our domain."
