POV: Raphael
I watch as Haven goes upstairs waiting for her to be out of earshot before I speak. Once I know she was out of range, I turned to her family. "I told you not to speak to her. She's angry and hurt. I was afraid this would happen."
An Odessa's powers are highly unpredictable. Imagine constantly having a ticking time bomb strapped to you. Haven's bomb has been counting down for weeks. The clock finally hit zero. I know she's calm now, but it's only a matter of time before the clock is set to explode again.
"Can you blame us? What did you do?" Jake argues. "Firstly, I didn't do anything! Read that and find out for yourselves. I didn't tell her. Melanie did." I shoved the letter written by my late mate into Jake's chest. He takes the letter and reads it out loud.
I'm left wit
