A couple of days prior, on the night when Aliana and everyone else had shifted back to the Valentine Residence following the harrowing incident with Rose, three figures stood inside Gavriel's home office.
The atmosphere was heavy, their expressions serious under the dim lighting.
Gavriel stood close to the floor-to-ceiling window, his gaze fixed on the glowing moon outside, while Cillian and Reve waited on the other side of the desk, their attention locked onto him.
"Gavriel, you know whatever happened was not normal for a human, don't you?" Cillian voiced his concern. When the man remained silent, he pushed further. "Not only does she possess extraordinary power, but what completely baffles me is the change in her eye colour."
Cillian paused, carefully choosing his next words as he spoke, "You know that only someone from… our kind can do that when channelling their pow-"
"She's a human." Gavriel's low voice cut through the air, breaking the silence.
