"And why the hell do you want to join this cult, Geneva?" William asked. "I need to understand both sides."
If Kali was really telling the truth, she wanted to join the cult to save her family—Rebo and Undir, her husband.
But Geneva? If her reason didn't have the same weight… William couldn't stand by her. Joining a cult of dark mages just for the sake of it wasn't something he could support.
"My sister… She joined that cult five years ago," Geneva said. "That's why I'm doing everything I can to get in. I need to find her."
At that moment, both women had reasons for seeking entry into the cult. William didn't know who to trust—or what to do.
"May I suggest something?" he said.
The two stared at him in silence for a moment. Then, finally, they nodded.
"I have the ability to read your memories. I promise I'll only look for anything related to the cult. May I do that? That way, I'll know for sure whether you're telling the truth. Let me be the mediator here."
