CHAPTER 546

"Of course, I did. I was the child born with her powers and so she kept me hidden. The human race does not need two mages, she said. It would scare them. Be my eyes in the shadows."

"How… No wonder I felt that way when we met."

"No need to feel anything. We were torn from each other right from the start. I never could approach you. It was more annoying knowing the truth and not being able to do anything, than being ignorant."

"But I always felt there was something missing and thought that perhaps it was the lack of my family. But now… My family has always been my my side."

"Cullen," Bayard called out softly. "My son."
