“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.
