Monit appears before me suddenly. “Try to relax.”
Then his hands are on my head and there is only burning pain. It sears through all my nerve endings until it feels like my brain is about to burst.
Memories stream through me too quick to identify them.
“A memory spell, oh I’m sorry Aly. This is going to hurt,” his voice says but I can’t identify where it’s coming from.
The pain doubles until the point I feel like I’m going to pass out. But something is stopping me, keeping me conscious.
I watch the memories as he does, almost like I’m seeing them through water. They stop when I meet the guys for the first time at the bar except this time, it’s different. There are details that were erased the first time I met them, things I couldn’t remember.
Kiran called me his mate, both of the twins eye’s changed color when we touched and Nic’s eyes looked like swirling magic. They zero in on the moment each guy noticed we are mates but I didn’t see their reaction each time. Jeremy wasn’t looking at me and I hadn’t even met Jay yet when he knew.
There was something pulling me back to them, even though I didn’t feel the mate bond, because my gene wasn’t active, I still wanted to be with them.
The memories are ripped away and the burning comes back tenfold. I feel strong arms catch me as I collapse from the overwhelming, searing pain.
Nic
I’m in a room alone, waiting to see what comes next but nothing does. It’s dead silent as I wait and wait.
I’m about to yell out when I feel it, soul crippling agony coming from my mate. She is in anguish and I’m nowhere near her to help. Is this the test?
The pain briefly stops and wonder comes down the bond before it starts up again, worse. I fall to my knees, her agony is so strong.
It ends abruptly and I can tell she is unconscious.
My voice echos back to me as I shout for my mate. “Aly!”
There are no exits in this room, I’m trapped. What if this was some trick? What if they separated us, so they could get to Aly?
How could I be so stupid?
I start gathering power in my hands to blast through this room when Monit shows up.
I’m about to blast him but his words stop me.
“Calm now Nicoli, she is okay. Let me do your test so you can go be with her.”
“You’ll take me to her after the test?” I ask.
I don’t really trust him now, but this is my best option. I have no idea where she is being held or how to get there. They are elders, they could defeat me in seconds if they wanted to.
“Yes, I will. Try to relax, fighting me will only make this worse.”
“Let’s get it over with then,” I say.
He steps before me and places his hands on either side of my head. I feel the prodding but before I can object, he’s doing a memory dive into my head.
He riffles through my memories quickly, clearly searching for something in particular.
There is a burning sensation that only gets worse as he digs deeper into my mind. I try to relax, the more you fight a memory dig, the more painful it is.
He stops the night we met Aly, while we are sitting at the bar. I’m listening to Kiran and Jay talk about finding their mate.
I’m shocked that they share a mate but even more than that, I’m jealous. I didn’t want to admit it at the time but it’s clear looking back on the moment.
Aly walks up and I see her approaching Kiran. She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen and I’m begging the universe that she’s not Kiran and Jay’s mate. The chances that she could be theirs and mine are a million to one and I think I’m already obsessed with this girl.
