Chapter 53

• After a silent pause that seemed to last an eternity Cullen shifted in his chair. Cullen's voice had softened significantly but his face went more stony, if that was even possible. There was no emotion to be seen in his eyes. The stranger Aislinn was looking at made her go numb. "All right. Brinah, you show us what we need to do to make something to stop Rafe's mind altering abilities. When we deal with him and it is safe, you and Aislinn can go home."
• The look on Aislinn's face when he said that ripped into him, even if no one could see it. How could he do that? Was he just going to shove her out the door? "Isn't that my decision to make," Aislinn said in a cracking voice.
• Cullen's stomach turned. "I'm not going to ask you to leave your family for this," he responded.
