“Especially not a Royal one.” He took another step closer, his voice lowering. “It’s your core. Your power. Your life force.” Something in my chest tightened. “If it’s suppressed for too long… it doesn’t just stay quiet.” His gaze darkened. “It turns inward.” “What does that mean?” “It means it starts consuming you,” he said bluntly. No hesitation this time. No softening. “It begins slow. Fatigue. Weakness no one can explain. Then your body starts failing—organ by organ—and no one can figure out why.”

The power inside me was waiting too. And I wasn’t sure which one was more dangerous.

No doubt, years of leading the unleadable had gained him that skill. Minus, on the other hand, was more like a dormant volcano that was waking up after a long sleep. He seemed calm on the outside, but I could sense a lake of molten anger bubbling deep inside him. Some of that anger began to flow out as Minus challenged my uncle and seeing the look on his face brought back a flood of memories. His beautiful features, forming into a Viking-like scowl.

"This is different," she said. "This is using the power on something inside the bond. Something connected to you." "I know." "If you do it wrong…"

It’s right there inside me, waiting for the time to be released. I should be unnerved. I’m not. I accept who I am. Levin, lion, Bratva, death, destruction, and power.

My heart was pounding so loudly, my ears were ringing. “You shouldn’t be speaking to me,” I told him, He looked irritated by my words. “Has he taken that from you, too? The power to talk to people-” “That's not it.” I shook my head, “You know that-”
