Chapter 14

Harrison and I made our way back up to the house and heard a commotion. Something wasn’t right. We ran into the house and smelled smoke. Is the house on fire? We walked into the kitchen to see Chase’s hands on fire as well as one of the cabinets. Harrison quickly suppressed the fire. I ran to Chase to see what damage was done to his hands and saw nothing. They were completely normal, not blistering and peeling like I thought they would be. I looked up at him. “What happened and why aren’t you burned?”

“I have no idea. I was just reaching for the cabinet to get a glass and my hands exploded in flames. I freaked out at first and tried to use air to put it out, but all that did was make it worse. Then I realized I wasn’t in pain and tried to relax to make it go out, but it wasn’t working and the cabinets were on fire. That was when you guys walked in,” Chase explained.

Mason and Carter ran into the room and saw the damage. “What in the world happened?” Mason asked.

“We’re not sure, but it looks like Chase has the fire gift,” Harrison said.

I looked in horror at Chase and asked, “What type of Elemental is Alexis?” He just looked me and didn’t answer.

“Fire,” Harrison finally answered.

My stomach dropped and I couldn’t breathe. No, no, no. Not Chase! He has completely ignored her the entire time she has been here. How can they be bonded? Has he been lying to me this whole time? Did the kiss in the library not mean anything? Was he really protecting her that day? I ran from the room and out the back door. I needed air. I couldn’t breathe.

“I’ll go after her,” Chase said, but Harrison must have stopped him.

“Let her go, you are the last person that she wants to see right now.”

“I’ll go,” I heard Carter say as his footsteps also became noticeable to my panther hearing.

I ran and ran and ran until I found myself back at the rock Harrison and I had just been sitting on. I sat on it and tried to catch my breath. My chest felt so heavy, like a huge weight was on it and I could only take in small breaths. Tears were streaming down my cheeks and I felt like I was about to pass out. Carter ran up to me, pulled me tightly into his chest, and began rubbing my back. “Breathe, Bre. I’ve got you.” He didn’t say anything else. He just held me and let me cry.

Eventually, I was able to breathe and the tears slowed down. Carter released me and wiped the remaining tears from my face. “I’m sorry, Carter, I just didn’t expect that. It caught me by surprise.”

“It’s okay, I understand. You and Chase were getting really close and it hurts to think of him with someone else. That’s one of the hardest things about bonding. Before you know who your bonded is, you can get close with someone else and then get left behind.
