Chapter 206

Felicia's phone sat buzzing on her desk, its constant vibration muffled by the wood. She had left it behind to charge when she went to talk to Sebastian. On her way back, she was stopped by Mina.

Felicia raised an eyebrow, amused. "Oh? If blood ties are so unshakable, doesn't that mean I already have something that others don't?"
