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

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

“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.

He just asked me to pass the gift to Mackenzie. That’s
