In a foul mood, I teleport home.
Sometimes, being magical sucks. A human male never has a mating curse hanging over his head. A human male never worries about his missing instincts. He simply weighs whatever feelings he has and makes a rational choice.
Right now, I feel anything but rational.
âSo youâre finally back?â Raiden lounges in the doorway. Then his eyes sharpen on my magical signature. âYou Called to her? Are you out of your fucking mind. Do you want her to die?â
Of all the things I thought my twin would say, concern for Kariâs safety wasnât even on the list. âOf course not. But she was nearly killed a few days past.â
âWhat? Is that why the Brew has been closed?â
I nod. âDid you know Mathias dâArc has returned from exile? And heâs creating an army heâs using to kill innocents?â
Raiden blanches. âNo.â
âYes.â
âHow is that possible?â
So my twin had no idea, either. Little wonder, since both of us have been shagging our way through life, giving little thought to tomorrow, to roots, or to family.
I donât want to be like my father, slowly aging and alone, constantly fucking women who seek fleeting gratification with any halfway good-looking bloke. Raiden will soon have a youngling of his own, and if heâs happy, thatâs great. But I donât want a child with a woman for whom I have no feelings.
Bloody hell, if this doesnât make me the family freak.
âI donât know exactly, but some of Mathiasâs followers attacked the Witchâs Brew. Kari almost didnât make it.â
âBecause weâre cursed. You know that.â Raiden rakes a hand through his long golden hair. âShe would likely be dead if sheâd spoken the Binding.â
âThatâs why I made her promise she never would.â
âGood. You need to give her space so she moves on. Resume your normal life. Weâll go out tomorrow night andâ ââ
âI canât.â I close my eyes. I donât want to confess this, truly. But I canât lie, especially to my twin. âOnce I Called to her, something inside meâ¦changed. I donât want another woman.â
âAre you saying you plan to be faithful?â Raiden spits. âTo a woman who will never be your mate?â
âI know it sounds foolishâ ââ
âIt sounds ridiculously self-sacrificing, actually. You need energy to power your magic. To live. If this is some barmy trick to deepen Kariâs feelings for you, stop. Sheâs already madly in love with you.â
And I hurt her deeply. Shame roils through me.
âNot anymore. She thinks I bedded another woman.â
âYou didnât?â
âI couldnât. And I donât want to hurt Kari again.â
âListen to me. You canât complete your mate bond, or youâll have her death on your conscience. You need to find another woman to power your magicâ ââ
âOr Iâll die. I know.â
So I must either perish, break Kariâs heart, or be the cause of her demise.
âBut I tried to bed another woman,â I tell Raiden. âI couldnât abide her touch, her smell. Her kiss made me retch. Literally.â
This time, my twin has no sarcasm or growled advice. âI wonât ask if she was unattractive. No woman has ever been that ugly, especially if she was willing.
