‎Seraphina's POV‎‎"Wait...what's happening?" one of the lab techs whispered, frowning at the monitor. His finger tapped the edge of the screen like it might change what he was seeing.‎‎"What do you mean?" Elijah's voice snapped like he wasn't expecting things to go wrong. He leaned over the console, close enough for the tech to shrink back.‎‎The man's hand hovered uncertainly over the display. "There's... nothing here. No anomaly. Her blood is clean. Completely clean."‎‎"That's not possible," Elijah barked. His tone had the edge of a cornered animal. "Run it again."‎‎"I did." The tech's eyes darted to me, then back to him. "Three times. The results are the same. She's... she's normal."‎‎Normal. The word felt like a knife, dull and cruel. My heart thudded in my chest, echoing in my ears. I wasn't normal. I knew it deep in my bones, in the way shadows bent too easily when I walked past. So why wasn't it showing?‎‎Elijah's jaw clenched. "The dog wouldn't react unless..."‎

‎Seraphina's POV‎‎"You're insane if you think I'm just going to nod and play along," I whispered, though my voice shook. My back was pressed against the cold wall, the weight of his bodyguards closing the air around me. My pulse hammered in my ears, and I hated that he could probably hear it.‎‎The President's smile was intentional, and mischievous, the kind that made my blood run cold. "Insane?" he repeated softly, as though tasting the word. "No. Desperate, perhaps. Strategic... absolutely."‎‎I pressed myself harder against the wall as he leaned closer, his cologne coming around me like poison. His voice lowered, intimate, like he was letting me in on a secret no one else dared know. "I have only one daughter, Seraphina. She's... impulsive. Young... But in her anger and hurt she went too far."‎‎The silence after his words stretched tight. My tongue felt like sandpaper. "Too far?" I managed.‎
