Chapter 14. Secrets Aren’t Meant to Be Buried

Layla’s POV

“What’s wrong, Cara?”

She dragged a hand through her hair and paced around the office.

“It’s just that, uhm—” I walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder.

“Relax and just tell me what’s wrong.”

“It’s you,” my hand jerked back as though her skin burnt me and a pit formed in my stomach where my heart dropped into.

“No, no, that came out wrong I’m sorry. I just mean that I know something is up with you.”

“Has Kade said something to you?” My eyes were scanning her and I did feel her but I saw nothing, no memories which could only mean they knew what I was capable of and were fighting it.

“Please stop,” she breathed and my eyes snapped back.

“I know, we all do, about you and your powers.”

“Kade knows?”

“Yes, he’s the one that told the rest of us.”

“I don’t understand, how could he know when I barely understand it myself?” I was stuck in a loop of thoughts and none of them did me any good.
