Mackenzie could tell he was on high alert. Knowing how cautious he was, she reached for the gift to check it herself.

“I’ll do it,” Emmanuel declared firmly, stopping her.

He didn’t trust whatever Gautier had sent, thinking, What if it’s dangerous–like a bomb or something laced with poison? It’s safer if I handle it.

Carefully, he unwrapped the package. Inside was a beautifully carved piece of agarwood. By looking at it, he could tell it was worth a fortune.

Yet, something else caught his attention. Small, delicate words were engraved into the wood.

“In a land of fire and steel, Levi walks the line between honor and fate,” Mackenzie read it softly before pausing.

“Do you know what that means?” Emmanuel asked, watching her expression.

She thought momentarily and replied, “It’s originally just poetic imagery. Hmm… from what I know, Mr. Lestrange’s real name is Levi Lestrange. Plus, the wording here sounds just like something he would say.”

Emmanuel’s brows knitted together. He didn’t respond; he just brought the agarwood close and took a slow inhale.

A deep, rich fragrance filled his senses. It was soothing, almost calming–not something that seemed harmful

“Does it seem safe?” Mackenzie asked, reading his reaction.

“It’s fine for now,” Emmanuel responded, still thoughtful.
