one who knew a spell that could do that was –“
“Tywin,” I finished. “But he’s gone. So
how will we undo it?”
Zeke shook his head. “If he was gone,
the spell would have lifted…” My body went cold.
“Are… Are you trying to tell me that
you think that Tywin is still alive?” I demanded weakly. Zeke’s
silence spoke volumes.
The thought made my stomach churn and I
fought down a wave of nausea.
“This means that Reid died for
nothing,” I said suddenly. “We killed my Mate to get rid of Tywin
and it didn’t work!” I shrieked.
Zeke grabbed me and held on tight as I
broke down. He stroked my hair until my sobs subsided and rocked me
back and forth.
“He died as a way of stopping my
father,” he said slowly. “There was a reason behind it. Tywin was
just craftier than we thought.”
I didn’t reply. If I opened my mouth to
speak, I knew I would just start crying and screaming again, so I
kept myself still and silent in Zeke’s arms.

They’re both headstrong. Beautiful and
smart. One, pale as the moon, the other a gentle coffee color. Both
have green eyes that are heavenly to stare into…
“What is wrong with me?” I growled to
myself. How could I be comparing Ollie to Elyssa? One was my Mate;
she deserved more respect than I was giving her. “God, I’m all
fucked up in the head.” I grabbed my hair and gave it a solid tug
with both hands. It didn’t shake my thoughts from my head,
though.
One recurring thought that was
especially a problem in the equation was Elyssa. She kept popping
up even when I didn’t want to deal with her. To be honest, though,
those times where I didn’t want to deal with the woman weren’t very
often.
Elyssa was full of interesting
conversation, loved the time we spent sparring with one another,
and was quite fun to be around in general. She didn’t pressure me
to do things that I wasn’t up for, and we didn’t spend most of our
time fighting with one another.
“Come to think of it,” I
mumbled, “we never fight with one another.” Maybe it was because we
got along so well, or maybe it was just because she wasn’t my Mate. Either
way, we didn’t fight, which meant that time with her was pleasant
and worthwhile.
I was tired of avoiding the
problem I had. And yes, it was a problem. Two beautiful women being
stuck in my mind all the time. It was especially a problem because
I had a Mate already, one who wasn't really as bad as I always made
her out to be to Elyssa. The only real problem we had was that she
only wanted to have sex whenever we had time to spend with one
another.
As I thought more on
Ollie, thoughts of Elyssa tore through like a tornado, ripping
through my mind in the most reckless of ways. Where Ollie was
always a horndog and trying to get my pants off, Elyssa hadn't
expressed even the slightest interest in me. That wasn't to say
that she couldn’t feel the same about me of course.
"Whoa!" I muttered to
myself, shaking my head. "Feel the same way about me? Seriously?
Who's to say I even feel anything more than friendship for the
woman?" I challenged myself, growling when her smile popped into my
head and caused my heart to race.
"Okay, so maybe I don't
just think about Elyssa as my friend," I huffed. "But I have a Mate
already. Everyone knows this. And she certainly isn't interested
in me , that's for
sure. Otherwise she wouldn't have sought out Zeke's attention in
the first place. Though, maybe just maybe that was an accidental
occurrence?"
I shook her from my mind
again, and hauled myself off my bed. I needed to get out of my
room, away from the reminders of Ollie that only served to create
pathways for me to think about Reid’s Mate.
I ran down the stairs of my
tower quickly, careful to not trip over my own feet as I headed to
the main part of the castle. I needed time to myself but there was
nowhere I could go that wouldn't bring other people raining down on
me in only a matter of time. I supposed that I
