••• Arabella’s POV •••
As expected, judging by Rosa’s look, what happened to Lina must have involved magic.
But what had that got to do with Max and me?
What did she mean by she knew what happened between us?
Was she talking about how we suddenly were able to sense that we were each other fated mates?
Under our expectant gazes, Rosa then told us of her guess.
“The curse that was cast on Max to make him imperceptible to feel the matebond is part of black magic,” she began explaining.
“But just now, Lina urgently tried to absorb some of the black magic power from Max to protect herself before she passed out.”
We all looked at her in surprise.
Did Lina really do that?
I frowned and uttered, “I didn't see her doing anything…”
“Me neither,” Max echoed me, and Shawn did the same.
“She didn't need to do any noticeable action for it,” Rosa tried to explain the process. “She did inconspicuously point her finger at Maz, but I was able to intercept it .”
