"I have a twin sister... and she's in danger" Delphine said with tears in her eyes.
Delphine's initial shock began to subside and a wave of disappointment washed over her.
The revelation that her twin sister, Coralia, was in prison and she risked her life and the fact that both Seraphina and Ethan had kept this truth hidden from her left her feeling betrayed and hurt.
She had trusted them, believing in their guidance and protection, but now those feelings were tainted by the weight of their secret.
"Why didn't you tell me the truth?" Delphine's voice quivered, her eyes locking with Seraphina's.
"I thought you wanted to help me find my heritage and that you needed my help. I deserved to know about this, she's my own flesh."
Seraphina lowered her gaze, guilt etched across her face.
