Novel & Cerita Gifts Of An Empath

I pulled free and wiped my fingers with a towel. "Emma, out of that fifteen million, ten million is gone." "What do you mean?!" Emma's eyes nearly popped out of her head. "Before she died, Amelia Fernandez converted the remaining five million into gold bars and melted them into the steel tubing of her husband's wheelchair." Emma shuddered. The cigarette fell from her mouth before she turned and ran for the door like a madwoman. "Shit! Somebody get moving! Get to her house and take the wheelchair!" "Captain Hill." I turned toward Summer.

"Honey, I just found out I have to go on a week-long business trip. It's so last minute that I can't spend our anniversary with you. There are also some problems with the company's cash flow, so could you transfer me $100 million?" I sneered and looked at the familiar figure in the jewelry store, replying, "Sure, but there's a transfer document that needs your signature. I'll send you the soft copy!" He immediately hung up the call. Looking at the signed contract, I got out of the car and headed straight for the jewelry store. As soon as I entered, I saw Queenie Steward, the heiress of the Steward family, sitting in the VIP room. When she saw me come in, a trace of disgust flashed in her eye

"What's truly a shame is that such a wonderful man ended up with such a terrible wife. If you ask me, Edwin belongs with Esme. They're the perfect match." Esme blushed, nudging Mom shyly before sneaking a glance at Edwin. He lowered his head and sipped his wine. He neither refuted nor agreed. But his answer came during the gift exchange. He presented Esme with a ruby necklace. It wasn't just any necklace. It was his late mother's heirloom. He had told me about it, promising that he would personally place it around my neck on our fifth wedding anniversary. Now, he was placing it around Esme's neck. I watched without a trace of emotion, my heart completely hollow.

The sight of her caused his blood to boil with irritation and resentment. How dare she raise her filthy hands to slap him? No one has ever done that, not even his father; Tony Kings has ever raised his hand to hit him. Who the fuck does she think she's? I'm so gonna deal with her, she'll regret ever messing with me. He vowed to himself, glaring daggers at her. "Bro, you've got to calm down." Xander, his best friend, cajoled him and he sighed exasperatingly, pulling himself from Xander's grip.

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. Because what is actually there is also what is actually mine. The gift sees it and responds to it and does not pretend otherwise.

She wrapped me in a hug so tight it nearly knocked the air out of my lungs. I laughed, hugging her back, but then—something shifted. For the briefest moment, under her bright energy and warmth, I felt it. A pulse of something jagged and raw bleeding through, my empath ability was always open. Pain. Heartache. A hollow carved into her soul by storms I couldn’t see. She had gone through hell and somehow come out smiling, but that smile was a mask. A shield. I held her tighter, whispering against her hair, “Tomorrow, then. I’ll help you get your things.”

"Like what? Tell me everything. I need to know! What if I have one but I don’t even know? What if I’ve missed it all this time?" Greta almost smiles. "Gifts come from bloodlines, passed down through families. Some are common, some are rare, and some haven’t been seen in generations." Rina leans in. "What kinds?" "Empathy," Greta says, looking at Rina. "It’s the ability to feel other people's emotions as if they were your own. You can sense lies, fear, love, anger—sometimes even from a distance." Rina's mouth drops open. "Like when I know someone is sad even if they’re smiling? Like when I can tell Maya’s annoyed even when she’s not saying anything?"

"That kind of power use, even unintentional, might have effects." I sit while he runs his tests. My light pulses steady but not draining like when I heal. "Your divine power is definitely expanding." He frowns at his readings. "The empathy gift used to require touch and conscious effort. Now it seems to respond to strong emotion even without physical contact." "Is that dangerous?" Ryder moves closer. "Potentially." Doc sets down his equipment. "If Jolie gets angry or upset around someone, she might accidentally flood them with empathy. It could overwhelm wolves who aren't prepared for it."

He wants to support me, but he’s conflicted about whether he should let me face this or wrap me in his arms and run with me to safety. I know what this is now. This is not my seer gift. This is an empath gift that I’ve inherited from my dad. The two gifts together are intense, but if I learn to manage them, they’re going to make a powerful combo. I give my guys one last smile and then I turn, holding my head high as I walk back into the locker room. The changing area is not as busy now. The sounds of multiple showers running and laughter from the stalls are a good indicator of where they are. The few girls left look at me as I enter. I feel the emotions pouring from them. Fear. Shock. Hope.

I ask calmly. “Oh, that. Well, yes, Elexis is right. It is a slur these days. I shouldn’t have said it. The more politically correct term is energy empath,” she places her hands on the table as she explains, tapping her fingers lightly, “Traditionally, an empath absorbs emotions of people around them. A lot of empaths don’t realize it’s even happening. They have to learn to control the absorption, otherwise they become overwhelmed, angry, or even depressed trying to manage emotions that are not even theirs.”
