Sebastian moves up slowly and cautiously. “Aurora, love? We should appoint someone to watch over the pack until we need them. And don't forget we have Dimitri and Andre waiting outside for us. You know how Andre gets; he’s like an old mother hen.” Aurora’s head lifts, and she nods slowly. Her eyes find her smiling father looking down at her.

“Daughter? Do Dimitri and Andre still live? How can this be?” Nicodeamus looks puzzled because, by all rights, those two should have been long dead by time alone. Both types of shifters are not very long-lived by shifter standards.

“Yes, Father, they live. The elder dame bound them to me until I found my first mate, Sebastian. I fear now they may not have much time left.” She turns to face Jayce and me. “Can we trust Alexander? Will he lead in our stead while we are gone?”

My brother and I think long and hard about it. “Yes, we believe he would. Father always mistreated him because he’s gay. Trust me, he will be thankful and most faithful to you for freeing him from our father.” I say with great finality, truth rings with every syllable that passes my lips.

Out of the corner of my eye I notice Sinclair, my brother’s lover. Jayce stands stock still watching him approach, afraid of what Aurora may do to the competition. Jayce’s fear is palpable in the air as he watches his lover approach. Without a second thought, Sinclair closes the distance and hugs onto Jayce for dear life. I am prepared to intervene if needed, but what could I do? It is my mate and my twin—possibly having to choose between them is breaking my heart.

Aurora shocks me as she moves slowly and touches Jayce’s shoulder. “If this is where your heart truly lies, I can and will release you from this fragile bond.” Her eyes are the pure mercury of her Lycan. She is anxious, and you can scent her sadness in the air. Aurora is trying to do what is right for my brother. My older brother Alex hears the whole exchange and waits to see what Jayce chooses.

Jayce takes in a deep breath and kisses Sinclair hard on the lips. “I’m sorry. My wolf and I want her as our mate. I never thought I’d find my mate; I thought we had forever.” He glances back to Aurora, who has tears streaming down her face. She’s ready to release him if that’s what he wants, even if it causes her pain.

Aurora shifts quickly and runs across the arena. She leaps high into the air and lands a good twenty feet off the ground. Her talons sink into the wood and mortar as she climbs higher and higher until she reaches the alcove just below the roof. It was the first time Sebastian witnessed his mate run from anything. He just stands there in a state of shock. His eyes swirl between his normal sky blue and that of his wolf. It appears that they are battling each other for control.
