CHAPTER 306 – Deceitful

  CRIMSON

  I don’t go back and curl up with my mate. Instead, I open the old leather folder again. Taking my time to study and read each parchment. Concentrating on the ones we didn’t get to observe.

  I flit through the pages that describe the seven gates to the gods until I find the ones that hold the information I was desperate to know.

  A few nights ago when Tawny and I were lost in passion, her nails dug into my skin and a bead of my blood fell onto the face of the blue stone she wears around her neck. Papa Armand's ring.

  Something changed inside me, and I don’t just mean being able to mind-link. The stone’s magic gave way and allowed me to open a part of my mind that was shut off. Enabling me to tap into a higher percentage of my brain capacity.

  The words don’t tell me much, just that the stone allows the bearer to be the truest version of themselves.
