Chapter 166

• What the hell are you talking about?!" Carlisle demands, breaking through our closed off conversation.
• Aro's eyes stay on Edward's for a second longer before he moves his gaze to Carlisle. I reach behind me and take Edward's hand in mine, this time I'm the one to send uplifting and comforting thoughts his way. I can feel how much the idea of having magic inside of him scares him and I try not to let it bother me. Being an Earth-Witch is such an important part of me and I desperately want him to embrace this gift, however small it is. Edward squeezes my hand reassuringly and a wave of pleasure rolls through me at his reaction.
• "Your son and my niece have Blood Bonded, Carlisle. Surely, it can't be necessary for me to explain the process to you," Aro bites out, his annoyance with Carlisle is clear.
