Chapter 50

"So you think Tessa and Katherine are Manae?" Milo looks at the pictures of Tessa. Simply not believing what he is seeing.

"Well, we know that Cornell took Katherine's name when they got married. It was all over the news when we were younger. Don't you remember?"

"Oh yeah. I remember thinking he must have come from a weak pack since he joined hers instead of her going to his." 1

"Yeah, so we know they are sisters and now we have photos of one of them looking the same age for over a hundred years. We know she isn't a vampire. Do you have a better explanation?"

"Okay, one problem at a time," Reggie says calmly, trying to defuse the situation, "I will have extra guards, and an omega put in the hallway where this Persephone woman's suite is.

If they have powers and they use them against US, what could we really do, anyway? We know Kas has powers, but we could never stop her from using them. She operates on the honor system," Reggie chimes in once he finishes mind linking the staff who need to be placed in the hallway.

just hold our cards close and see what happens when we put Tessa and Katherine in the same room," I drop my head and look at the floor, racking my brain for a solution, but I don't see one.

While Kas's energy, when she allows you to feel it, is complex and hits you deep, Katherine's is pure power and a sense of control. I wonder how easily people submit to her requests and demands without realizing why.
