The oppressive weight of his draconic aura had lifted the moment he returned as a human, but Myrenne and Aeris still trembled as they pushed themselves upright with shaking legs.
Neither woman could find words to speak and both stared at Aiden as if seeing him for the first time.
Myrenne's thoughts raced as she tried to make sense of what had just happened. Part of the goddess's protection was to also shield them from external influence, wasn't it?
Yet it had been ineffective against Aiden's aura.
