Aiden and Levi share a look, then shake their heads, almost exasperatingly.
I only just met this family and I already love them.
They’re different from mine. While I always thought we were so close-knit, what Maya did ruined everything.
We’ve been taking it slow, but I’m learning to forgive her. She hit rock bottom after that incident. Apparently, as I suspected, she had a major crush on Ilya, Jeremy’s senior bodyguard, and probably even started a secret relationship with him.
But evidently, she did something so unforgivable, he broke up with her. Then the thing with Mrs. Pratt happened and I cut ties with her.
She had a mental breakdown.
I was there for her. Unlike what I would’ve thought, I couldn’t just watch her disintegrate. She’s still my twin, and like Bran said, it’s in our DNA to love our twins, no matter what they do.
Our family has been healing, but I’m not sure how long this process will take. I guess, as the family counselor said, it can take as long necessary.
The positive thing is that Nikolai apologized again for ignoring me that day and promised not to interfere in my relationship with Landon from now on. There’s no love lost between them, but I’ll take any peace offerings I can get.
“What are you thinking about?” Lan whispers in my ear as we fall behind while everyone else goes to the dining room.
“How much I like your family.”
“Everyone except forthe nuisance Eli, you mean!” he shouts the last part.
“The only nuisance is you, prick!” Eli shouts back without hesitation.
“Hey, Lan.” I stop in front of him and wrap my arms around his waist.
More than his gorgeous statues, he’s the brutal beauty that always, without doubt, steals my attention.
“Yeah?”
“Thank you for letting me into your world.”
“Thank you for being my world.”
“Thank you for helping me get my voice back.”
“Thank you for letting me hear it.”
“Seriously, you’ve been taking Bran’s lessons so well.”
“No lessons are needed. Besides, Bran is the one who’s in dire need of lessons, not me.”
The bell rings and he frowns. “Mum, are we expecting someone else?”
“I invited someone over.” Eli comes rushing through.
As he opens the door, Glyn jumps Lan in a hug. “Surprise!”
The surprise is, of course, that she brought Kill along.
I wince. This is such a terrible idea.
It doesn’t matter how many truces exist between the Heathens and the Elites. Lan and Kill can’t stomach each other to save their lives.
“Your presence isn’t enough, so you added another obnoxious presence?” Lan asks Eli.
“Of course. The more the merrier, am I right, Kill?”
