“What did he say?”

“He insinuated that the Moon Gem didn’t belong to Lila,” he told me. “As we found out, the purpose of the

of the gem was to lock away Lila’s birth powers because it was too much for an infant to handle. It was supposed to be given to her when she came of age… her blood would activate the gem and her powers would be restored. However, the gem was stolen by my father years ago and kept locked away in a box that blocked all magic. He lied and said it was a family heirloom passed down for generations and that one day it would be given to me once I took the Alpha title. However, he died before it was ever passed to me, and my mother had kept it this whole time.” 1

I nodded, already knowing this story.

“But Levi mentioned that the stone hadn’t found its rightful owner yet, despite it being with Lila,” Gavin continued, his frown deepening. “Which would mean that she’s not actually the Blackwell heiress. But that doesn’t make much sense because they all treat her like a daughter.”

“Levi didn’t tell you anything else?” I asked. “Does he suspect that someone else is the heiress?”

He shrugged.

“I’m not sure. Getting that little bit out of him was like pulling teeth,” Gavin murmured. “He won’t tell me anything else.”

“Of course he won’t,” I muttered. “Then maybe we should go directly to the Blackwells and speak with them.”

“No,” Gavin said sharply. “That’s the last thing we are going to do. I don’t want you getting too involved in that family, Judy. I don’t trust them.”

“If they are truly connected to these dreams I’m having, then I’m already involved,” I told him, folding my arms across my chest. “I need to know what’s happening to me, Gavin. I need to fix it so I can stop passing out.”

He was quiet for a long moment.
