“And power must be earned, not handed over on a silver platter. If you truly want to understand your purpose, you’ll need to put in the effort to uncover it yourself.” I clenched my fists, resisting the urge to snap back. He was toying with me, dangling bits of information just out of reach, forcing me to play his game but he was not entirely wrong. So, I didn’t let my frustration show. If this was the only way to get closer to his plans, I had no choice but to go along with it. I picked up the book, feeling its weight in my hands. “Fine,” I said, my tone even. “I’ll read it. I’ll try my best to gain control of this power as well.”

My steps faltered for a moment, but I didn't stop. Just as I was about to leave the study, Leo charged at me from behind in a fit of rage. "You're not allowed to leave! You have to replace our storybook!" He tried to stop me, grabbing the hem of my skirt with both hands and yanking it backward with all his might. Caught off guard, I twisted instinctively, but his reckless pull threw me off balance. I stumbled sideways, slamming hard into the enormous, floor-to-ceiling mirror beside me. The deafening crash brought Santino rushing in.

, I threatened, harshly. “Oh please Josh, don't you dare threaten me. Take a good look at yourself. Don't be slightly deluded. You cannot do a damn thing to me and even if you could, you will definitely not try anything funny here either”, she replied, confidently. I stared at her speechlessly, once again recognising the same fact that made me quiet earlier during the conversation with Martin and co. The fact that I truly was powerless. It's crazy that it took that ceremony for me to really come to terms with what I really am, a powerless man who couldn't even hurt those men let alone hurt a Xavier, especially a crazy one like Beatrice at that.

"And you only make that small amount of money? How about I talk to my dad and have you fired? That way you can find a new job." "Fire me?" I forced myself to hold back from punching him. With a cold smile, I raised a brow and shot back, "Please. In this company, I matter a lot more than you." Everyone in the company knew it. Jackson was nothing more than the CEO's illegitimate son. Aside from getting his monthly allowance, he held no real power. I, on the other hand, was responsible for the company's entire underlying framework—its lifeline.

I couldn’t bear to think about what state she might be in otherwise. “This one says the one without a wolf will carry earth-shattering power.” Davin selected a different book from the pile and set it down between us. I picked it up and flicked through it, wrinkling my nose at the smell of old leather and dust. “The Wolfless, as it goes on to call such a person, will be used and abused, and in the wrong hands their power will destroy the not only the Wolven Realms, but the human lands as well.”

he suggested. I nodded my head with a firm yes. I closed my eyes and concentrated on my breathing and tried to battle this newfound power which is like a curse to me. At least Bruce is kind of lucky. He only has one power, which he got that day I found him at the lake. Whereas I got nine over the years, unfortunately, this one would make it ten. A shiver ran through me as the glowing light hovered unsteadily around me. I fought to gain control..I felt the power intensify as it exploded out of me. The water in the lake rippled as the wind blew heavily as if there was a storm.

Ki asked. Violet heard that and felt funny, if she didn't drink it, Mrs. Ki would leave, there would be no such thing, even though Violet could sense her place in this place. Everyone obeyed her, but she knew well that the power she had in this house was given to her by Dominic. She shrugged and said, "Dominic didn't mean to kill me anyway." If Dominic wanted to kill her, she wouldn't be sitting here relaxing and talking to Mrs. Ki.

Nina’s legs shook, and she pressed herself against the edge of a chair. She wanted him, but she was scared. She wanted him to touch her, but she also wanted to run. Fear, adrenaline, desire—it all twisted inside her in a way that left her dizzy. Dante’s hand brushed hers, guiding her slightly. “This is your lesson tonight,” he said. “Desire is not weakness. It’s power. And when you learn to use it… you’ll be unstoppable.” Her breath hitched. “You make it sound so… easy,” she said, half-laughing, half-whimpering.

He asked, "Your name." I paused for a moment, then immediately brought my legs together and let my arms hang straight at my sides. I raised my head and straightened my back before in a loud, clear voice, "My name is Rebecca Lane! My strengths are that I'm hardworking and can handle hardship! No matter what role it is, I'm confident I can do it well! Please give me a chance, director!" The corner of Theodore's mouth twitched. But what had happened earlier involved certain family secrets, and he could not let anyone leak them.

I let go of his forearm, hoping maybe he would walk away again, but this time, he stayed, refusing to let me out of this conversation. "What do you want me to say? You know my powers come from the people who pray for me...from how much the Moon wants from me. Here, now, I'm powerless," I explain, hoping he sees what I'm trying to say to him. What happened with my healing powers was a fluke...I haven't Me being powerless, and you not, scares me.
