He whispered, pulling her closer, trying to meld every part of her to him. "You display all your emotions through body language. In this case, your hand is betraying your mask." Every word of his was chosen for maximum impact. No wasted syllables, no extra breaths. Just facts.

Together, they embark on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind Aidan's deadly intent. As they dig deeper, they learn that Demi true origin is dangerously, and her existence poses a significant threat to everyone around her. Despite this grave connection, the reason for Aidan's relentless pursuit remains a mystery.
