Testing my magic on rats was the incentive I needed to get my electric touch under control.

By the end of the next day, I could control the level of my “voltage,” as Bryan had decided to call it. I could use it to shock and disable, without killing.

Which was good, because I didn’t want any innocent rats—or people—dying under my watch.

“Excellent job.” Bryan clapped from his lounge chair. “Now, I think you’re ready to start testing on something bigger.” He removed his sequined shirt, folded it neatly, and placed it on the chair. “This is one of my favorite shirts,” he said, running his hands over it to flatten it out. “I won’t risk it being singed.”

“No.” Finn crossed his arms and stared Bryan down. “She’s not testing her magic on you. I’m her trainer. She’s testing it on me.”

“But I’m the nicer of the two of us.” Bryan looked over his shoulder and shot Finn a megawatt grin. “And by this point in training, she probably wants to hurt me less than she wants to hurt you.”

“I’m not testing my magic on either of you,” I said before they could continue this conversation further. “What if I accidentally kill you?”

“You won’t,” Bryan said. “You showed excellent control with the rats. And we full fae are made of strong stuff. We’re harder to kill than that diamond over there. So since you still can’t destroy the diamond, you definitely won’t destroy us.” He pranced toward me, ready to go. He was leaner than Finn, but still muscled.

His physique wasn’t the first thing I noticed, though.

The first thing I noticed was the heart-shaped birthmark on the left side of his stomach.

Not because it was unique, which is was. But because Finn had an identical one on the same place on his stomach.

“The two of you have identical birthmarks.” I looked between them to make sure I was correct. I was. “How’s that possible?”

“These are more than just birthmarks.” Bryan reached forward and lovingly touched the mark on Finn’s stomach. “They’re soulmate marks.”

“Most fae are marked on the day we’re born,” Finn said. “That mark matches the one on our soulmate. It helps us find each other.”

“Not like we needed help finding each other,” Bryan chimed in. “From the moment I saw Finn, I knew he was the one.”

From the adoring way he looked at his soulmate—and from the similar way Finn looked at him—I didn’t doubt it.

My fingers went to the clover shaped birthmark on my right hipbone. As they did, my thoughts went to Julian, and the stunned way he’d looked at me the moment we’d first seen each other. Like he’d been waiting to meet me for all his life.

But I needed to stop thinking about him. He’d only kissed me to get me close enough to the fountain so he could drag me through the portal. He’d brought me to the Otherworld in exchange for one bag of money.

I didn’t like him, let alone want to be soulmates with him.
