After an hour of waiting, I traveled the three of us back to the Charleston Domain. All I wanted to do was dump off Sage on their doorstep, grab Royal, and travel back to the Goshen Kingdom. But naturally, Forest had to put on a show like he actually gave a fuck about his people, so that required conversations. Conversations that I wanted no part of. My presence alone demanded answers that I was tempted to give, regardless of how counterintuitive it would be.

I drifted away from the others, letting Forest and Sage get acquainted with everyone. The white mansion was beautiful and lavish, as Kinetics were in their tastes. I decided to wander through the premises, wondering how my life could’ve fared differently if I’d grown up here instead. It seemed somewhat peaceful, considering it was a Kinetic domain. It resembled something that Elementals would live in.

A Spanish moss oak tree bloomed and wafted over the front lawn, the primary focal point of the landscaping. Crickets and cicadas called out into the night, and frogs croaked a symphony of mating calls. I took a seat beneath the tree, letting the moss shield me from the others’ view. I propped my forearms on my knees, not leaning against the trunk. My sleeve rose up my arm, exposing my blackened veins that I kept hidden from the public.

While I missed my silver currents and my connection to my element, I was growing more acquainted with my death-bringing abilities as time moved on. The connection I felt toward the Elementals and Kinetics had severed not long after I’d taken the oath to Celanea. I craved power, and I craved Gray. And I would have it all by the end of everything.

As if the thought of Gray summoned the waning bond we shared, I felt a jolt from her end, stronger than before. The emotions struck me. An overpowering shock of lust had me hardening within my pants. A smile grew on my face as I remembered how addictive she tasted. How her body felt pressed against mine. How her pussy felt squeezing my cock.

Unintentionally, I traveled as I focused on her. Her hunger sang to me. My shadows shrouded me in darkness, keeping me out of view. I assumed I’d find her silently getting herself off to thoughts of me based on the intense emotions she emitted through the bond. Excitement lit through me at the thought of joining her from a distance. My palm slid over the bulge protruding from my cargo pants.

When I found her silvery hair reflecting the moonlight, I didn’t expect to see her kneeling opposite my cousin…naked in the woods. She stared at him as if he were…well, me.

My nostrils flared, and the anger boiling beneath the surface of my skin had me ready to act now, but I couldn’t look away. I watched as my Twin Soul betrayed me. Betrayed us. Our future together.

My heart might as well have been pierced repeatedly by my own shadows. I couldn’t breathe past the hurt.
