She turned to page six. She wrote: What I know about the gift is also, in some ways, what I know about people. The gift does not distinguish between the two. It reaches toward what is real, what is present, what is genuine. It cannot be fooled by performance or impression management. It goes directly to what is actually there — the injury, the block, the life force underneath the interference. This makes it both the most honest thing I carry and the most vulnerable.

My relatives and friends could no longer contain themselves and stepped forward one after another to condemn him, their voices filled with rage. "How could you be so heartless, Craig? The Monets have showered you with nothing but grace and kindness, yet you actually committed such an ungrateful, treacherous act!" "You committed fraud, swapped her child, and faked your illness. Have you no shame? After all the support and kindness her family showed you, you've betrayed them in the worst possible way!" "Poor Ms. Lovelace, she gave you her heart, yet you kept her in the dark for all these years. You're absolutely despicable!"

"Hannah, look—so innocent yet alluring. It's perfect for me, isn't it?" I had gifted it to her because she loved it. My hands shook as I picked up the delicate, nearly transparent cloth. My throat closed up, and my head spun. The doubt I'd buried deep inside finally broke free. Confusion and pain crashed over me.

Emelda burst out laughing, “What do you mean no?” “I mean absolutely not.” “Seraphina.”

I whisper in the hopes that she doesn’t push for more answers. While my past isn’t as dark as Cole’s ongoing horror, the three years I spent as a rogue, before getting brought into alpha Demetri’s pack, has left some heavy scars behind. “You know, I was beginning to wonder if you even had a wolf.” “Why’s that?” I can’t help but wonder out loud. “Normally, when an empath starts using their gift on a regular basis to help others, their ability to identify the various issues associated with the help they give will strengthen.

Ember actually grinned happily at that. She tended to fidget with things when she was waiting for her code to run and this was the perfect gift for her. She thanked him with a hug too.

“Catherine's concern. Your focused compassion. The guards are bored. Someone in the main hall is… happy? Excited about something.” “Okay. Now imagine each emotion as a separate stream of water. Can you visualize that?” Maya nodded slowly. “Now consciously choose which streams to pay attention to.
