The guy got all douchey all of a sudden, despite the look and tone when he kicked his dad our of the room not minutes ago, and then began to lecture Ivan. His jaw set and the sympathy fell from his face. "Yeah. You tell that to the families whose kids were murdered."
He remembered what Nox had said and was glad he had ordered protection for Volodin's mom and brother. So far nothing, but this only reinforced everything. "If your dad's people didn't kill them too."
He glared at the kid, partly wondering why he wanted to bother.
And yet...he was who he was. That wasn't gonna change. And Cruz was not Vega. And he might die. Ivan knew the statistics. Still....it was hard to crack his clenched jaw. It took a moment. And he wasn't feeling charitable at the moment. "Anyway. You're gonna have to wrestle it into submission. Dominate it."
He thought for a moment, then added. "Clear your mind. Let your mind be empty. I know it's hard but don't let it concentrate on anything."
He let go of the power and did so himself. The familiar warmth in the distance was a distant star but he knew he could reach for it whenever he wanted now. The tension he had felt melted away with the exercise. And the knowledge that it was at his beck and call now.
"You might not be able to get to it at first. But you should sense a light or warmth in the distance."
