JADE

A few minutes earlier, I stood at the entrance of the hockey sports hall, trying hard to keep my face neutral as Freda finally reached me. She stopped a short distance away and smiled at me.

“Are you feeling better now, Jade?” she asked. “I heard you fainted earlier and I was worried.”

I forced a small nod and tried to sound normal. “I am alright now. Thank you for your care.”

Even as I answered, I reached out with my new ability again, focusing on her energy the way I had done with Valeri

    RANDYCarl stared at me for a while and finally he sighed.“It's pointless anyway," he shrugged. “I'm sure she would not agree."Liam nodded in agreement and Carl continued. "Maybe we should ask Finn for help. He seems to know a lot.”I frowned. The idea of running back to that veilborn stranger on the hill made no sense to me."You want us to keep depending on some outsider we barely know?”"For now, we should not attract any attention to this outside of the school," Liam said. "We will try to find out if she had met anyone unusual. I say we talk to everyone that Randy saw in her memory. If we do not get a solution from that, then we will consider Finn.""Fine," I sighed. "Let us get this over with.”We moved through the school, avoiding the crowded areas so we would not draw too much attention. After asking a few questions to some students who seemed close to her circle, we finally found one of the girls she always hung around with. Her name was Yoan, an omega who spent most of her

    RANDYThe next day at school, my brothers and I headed straight to the infirmary as soon as the morning bell rang. The hallways were still filled with whispers about yesterday’s incident, but we ignored the curious stares and kept walking. When we pushed open the door to the infirmary, the school doctor looked up from his desk with tired eyes.“You're back,” he said, rubbing his forehead. “The girl is stable but still unconscious."Carl stepped forward."Will she live?"The doctor sighed and led us to the bed in the corner where the girl lay pale and still. “Her body shows signs of extreme shock. We already suspect she saw something terrifying and so I believe it is hypnotism. Only a veilborn or a strong memory reader can save her life."Carl crossed his arms and frowned. “So there is nothing else you can do?”“Nothing medical,” the doctor frowned. "But you're the Alpha's sons right? If you have any special abilities in the family, now would be the time to use them."His words struc

    CARLJade burst into tears the moment I finished speaking. The loud, choking sobs tore out of her throat and filled the quiet rooftop patio. Her shoulders shook violently as she covered her face with both hands. Tears streamed down her cheeks and soaked into the collar of her clothes and her whole body trembled with the force of the pain I had just dropped on her. I stood there frozen, watching her break down right in front of me. Seeing Jade cry so much made something inside my chest crack open. Sadness settled over me, mixed with regret that made my stomach twist. She must have really hated us so much. The thought hit me harder than ever and all the cruel things we had done to her flashed through my mind in painful detail. I pulled a clean handkerchief from my pocket and held it out to her gently. “Here,” I said, my voice barely above a whisper. “Take this. Please.”She shoved my hand away without even looking at me. The handkerchief fluttered to the floor between us but I was not

    JADEI woke up slowly, my eyelids feeling heavy as the light from the window touched my face. The first thing I noticed was the familiar wooden ceiling and the faint scent of herbs in the air.I was back in the cottage on the hill. Surprised, I sat up quickly. I had no memory of coming here. The last clear thing I remembered was Randy mocking me in the hallway outside the yoga hall. Then he had suddenly taken my hand, and everything after that had gone dark.I glanced around the small room, trying to piece together what had happened. My mouth tasted bitter and strange, like I had been drinking something medicinal.Whatever Finn had fed me, it certainly did not taste good. My eyes landed on the small cup beside the bed and I saw that it still held a bit of dark liquid that looked like herbal tea.Surprisingly, I felt better now. The terrible headache that had tormented me earlier was gone, and the overwhelming flood of energies from the crowded hall no longer crashed over me.The door

    LIAMThe next thirty minutes at the cottage proved to me that the guy, Finn was not a bad person. He treated us respectfully from the moment we stepped inside the small cottage, offering us seats near the wooden table and speaking in a calm, measured voice that carried no challenge.The herbal scent from the concoctions he was brewing filled the room, mixing with the faint smell of wood and fresh air that drifted through the open window. Jade still lay asleep on the narrow bed against the wall, her breathing steady but her face still pale.In the middle of our conversation, he had revealed how he met Jade. He explained that he had been close by on the hillside when he sensed her energy surging out of control. The overwhelming flood of emotions and sensations from the crowded mall had pushed her to the edge, and he had stepped in to help before she collapsed completely. He described carrying her here to the quiet cottage where his soft energy was easier to manage. "Why was she able t

    LIAMAfter hearing from the school doctor at the infirmary about the state of the unconscious student and what caused it, Carl and I knew we had to find our father immediately. The campus doctor had looked pale himself as he explained the situation. His hands had trembled slightly as he described the symptoms. The girl had not simply fainted or caught a normal illness. Something had attacked her mind, leaving her body weak and her memories locked away. The doctor kept repeating that this was not an ordinary occurrence as he had never seen anything like it in all his years working at the school. The attack had come through hypnotism, but the attacker had left no clear trace behind. Only a veilborn or a strong memory reader could uncover what the girl had actually seen and how the attack had happened. Carl and I understood the seriousness of the situation and that was why we needed to see father at once. We left the infirmary quickly, and walked through the hallway which was still fill
