The creamy taste of broccoli and cheddar filled my mouth. It was lukewarm but still pretty good. It had been made with love.

Er, it hadn’t.

Was it love?

I shook my head, my mind ringing with the weight of too many juxtaposed thoughts. The bowl did little to warm my frozen fingers but that was okay too. Everything was okay. Maybe I should want more? No. Okay was okay.

Across a roaring fire between us, sat my mistress, the elegant, long-legged, pale skinned, violet-eyed, Valeria Tulius. She was enjoying her soup with a handmade silver spoon. She scooped a portion, popped it in her mouth, and moaned with pleasure. I wanted to take her in my arms, but at the same moment, a shiver of disgust rolled down my spine.

She peered up at me, her wide violet eyes curious. “Is something the matter, my love?” she asked. She ran a hand through her pale blonde hair, setting her soup aside.

I had to clear my throat, not once, not twice, but three full times before I could properly speak. “It is nothing, my dear. I am just not feeling well.” I stared into my bowl so that I wouldn’t have to maintain eye contact with her for a moment longer. Something in her gaze left me feeling altered.

She arched forward, sliding from the log she sat on and kneeling in the dirt beside me. She peered up at me and again I want to crush her lips with my own and toss her aside at the same time.

She ran her fingers down my cheek. They were cold and sent a tingle skittering across my face. I shivered but the motion didn’t feel pleasant. I pulled away from her, instead grabbing her fingers and pulling them into my lap.

My eyes burned from the light of the fire, a pulsing shadow lighting my vision. And faintly there, I could’ve sworn that I saw a stunning woman. A woman that was a million times more alluring to me than the woman who knelt before me.

Carson, please. I’m right here. See me, baby. A voice sobbed. It rang through my head like my own thoughts...but...not. The voice was an echo of something, a familiar sound.

I wanted to see her.

My eyes searched for her, looking past this woman crouched beside me, uninterested in her distasteful displays of affection. It was eerie. I felt as though this woman had been my mate for my entire existence, while also still holding this feeling that she was a stranger to me.

There!

When I turned my gaze just right, she appeared, like an overlay before me. I looked up at her, standing across the flickering flames from me. She turned her head, staring down at me with gorgeous blue eyes and tear-stained cheeks. Those tears called to me, leaving an ache carved through my chest. I wanted to shove this violet-eyed woman away and take this beautiful girl into my arms.

The woman beside me looked up sharply, her eyes searching in the darkness. I felt a trickle of alarm pass down my spine.
