CHAPTER 45: Portal

  Gabriel pov

  I released a long breath, feeling a weight lift off my shoulders at the possibility of having my sister by my side in this fight. But still, some questions needed answering.

  "Who else knows about this?" I asked, racing through the potential list of allies and enemies.

  "Only a select few," Laura admitted. "But I think it's time to bring in reinforcements. This threat is too great for us to handle alone."

  I nodded in agreement. "We'll need to tread carefully. We can't afford any missteps, especially with the lives of our loved ones at stake."

  Laura's gaze softened, a flicker of regret crossing her features. "I never wanted to cause you pain, Gabriel. I hope you can understand that."
