other"s powers."
And then … I got it. „You"re soulmates," I said, my voice trembling.
Nyla nodded and squeezed Rudyard"s hand and I felt the stirrings of something very, very dangerous. Hope.
„Are there other Grigori like you? I mean … is it possible that …" I asked, quietly.
„That you and Lincoln are kindred souls?"
„Yeah," I said, blushing that I had to ask this question in front of Lincoln.
„It is," Rudyard said. „When I felt your power at the airport, it seemed to gravitate strongly towards Lincoln"s essence. I have not seen one person"s powers pul on those of another so strongly since …" he looked at Nyla. „But it is more likely – you are not. In all our years, we have never met another set of partners that have been bonded in soul. And, if you are, while it is amazing, you should know, it is greater than any other kind of commitment. Greater than any kind of marriage in any culture, so think carefully before you … explore."
Oh my God, this is the weirdest sex talk ever!
„Okay. Wel thanks for the heads-up." Lincoln stood, clearly sharing my awkwardness. „I"m going to make some dinner. Would you like to stay?"
„Thank you, but now. We"re a little worried Zoe may try and put Salvatore back on a plane to Italy if we don"t get back to them soon."
„Yeah. Poor guy," Lincoln agreed.
„Zoe"s a good girl, she just had expectations for her partner – Salvatore was not. But I believe she wil be surprise, in time," Nyla said, as she and Rudyard stood and instinctively wrapped an arm around each other.
Now that I knew they were soulmates, I could see every little movement was somehow catered for by the other. They truly were connected and when they looked at each other, although it was only brief their eyes mirrored each other. Perfect love.
And look at me and Lincoln, we can barely look at each other. Every time we get close, something gets in the way. Would that happen if we are meant to be?

Just Lincoln and me – for the first time in what felt like ages. He set about making dinner.
I didn"t bother offering to help. We both knew unless it involved the coffee machine there was little point.
„I"m just going to throw on some steaks and make a salad. That okay?"
„Yeah. Great," I said, feeling more uncomfortable than I had since I first found out about being Grigori. I walked around the massive open area that was now cluttered with gym equipment, the floor strewn with mats. I started putting some bits and pieces away in the buckets that sat at the base of my wall. I"d been trying to paint a mural on one of Lincoln"s large blank spaces, but I hadn"t got very far. It was a time issue, more than anything. That, and I"d hit a block. Every time u though I knew what I wanted to paint, something changed my mind. Right now there was a huge sheet covering it.
„Here you go."
I jumped a little, caught in my thoughts I hadn"t noticed Lincoln come up behind me.
„Thanks," I said, taking the glass of Coke he held out.
„I"m sorry, about last night," he said. „I shouldn"t have gotten so angry."
„I"m sorry, too. We should have never gone in there. It was stupid."
„True," he said, smiling now and appearing just as relieved as I was that we weren"t heading straight for an argument.
I rolled my eyes but then got serious again. „Linc?"
„Hmm?" He was walking back into the kitchen.
„Um …" I was going to ask him about Magda, but I couldn"t „We should go check on Onyx tonight."
„Yeah, I know. I"l do it."
He said it casually, but it was a brush-off.
„Can"t we go together?" I pushed.
He glanced at me then took a bite of raw carrot. „Not tonight. I have to go out in a bit and there"s no point in you waiting around."
„Where are you going?"
„I"m … just helping Magda with something."
„Magda?"
He raised an eyebrow at my tone. „Yeah."
„And you"re not going to tell me what it is?"
„Vi, I just need to this thing myself. It"s … personal."
