evil.”
“I don’t know how it could happen, I only know it’s going to.” Truth raked a hand
through his black hair. “We have to alert the Council. The Unmated Males area
isn’t safe—we have to sound the alarm. Now. ”
Chapter
Four
“Tell me the circumstances of this vision
the three of you shared,” Commander Sylvan said, frowning.
“The, uh, circumstances were, uh…” Becca
found herself stammering and her cheeks heating up. She liked Sophie’s husband
a lot, really. He was usually very patient and understanding and she knew from
watching him with his twins what a wonderful father he was. But that still
didn’t mean that she wanted to explain how she’d suddenly found herself trapped
in another hot and heavy sexual fantasy with two men at once—a fantasy that had
somehow turned into a nightmare.
“Becca was hit in the head in the
parklands around the Sacred Grove,” Far said, taking up the story to her
relief. “Truth and I were both trying to tend to her and suddenly we fell into
a type of mental joining.”
“Which caused us all to be subjected to his insane vision,” Truth growled, frowning at Far.
“I noticed you didn’t object to our
earlier shared vision,” Far snapped. “The one where you were finally able to
get your hands on Becca as you’ve been itching to do for six solar months.”
“As if you haven’t
been trying to get your filthy hands on her too! Don’t lie, Far— I know your true
intentions.”
Becca sighed mentally. And here we go
again. They had worked together so much better in the strange mental fugue
the three of them had shared. Though it had been horribly embarrassing, she had
to admit she had been relieved not to hear their bickering for a while. Why
couldn’t they get along in real life the way they did in the weird dream state?
“So they both had their hands on you at
once? On your bare skin?” Kat, who had been visiting
Commander Sylvan and Sophie when they came in to talk, spoke up.
Becca’s cheeks got hot again. “Well…yes, in
a manner of speaking. I mean, Far was cushioning my head and Truth was down at
my feet, propping up my legs. So I guess…yes. Yes, they did.”
Kat frowned. “That’s the way Deep and Lock
and I do a joining when we want to do a Seek and Find, but we usually have to
be touching a lot more, ah, intimately to get such strong results.”
“But we weren’t!” Becca protested , feeling like her face was about to catch on fire it was so
hot. “I swear! I mean…”
“Easy, doll…” Kat levered herself off the
couch and came to put a hand on her arm. “Nobody’s accusing you. It’s the most
natural thing in the world to be between your men when you’re with Twin
Kindred.”
“There is nothing natural about what we
saw,” Truth growled. “Or in having the lady Rebecca between
us. She should be with one of us only—with me.”
“I didn’t notice you complaining when we
were all in bed together,” Far growled back. “It didn’t seem so wrong to you
then to have her between us.”
“That was in a dream state only. In
reality I will not share her with anyone—least of all you.” Truth’s pale
gray eyes flashed fire at his estranged brother.
Far’s black eyes flashed back, filled with
a mixture of hurt and hate. “Then good luck forming a
complete bond with her, Brother. Everyone knows a Twin
Kindred can’t manage that on his own, without his twin.”
“Not true,” Truth said shortly. “My father
managed it and so will I.”
Kat frowned. “Don’t you mean fathers? If
you’re Twin Kindred, how did you have only one father, Truth?”
“It’s a long story.” The dark twin turned
away. “And it is not what we are here to talk about, anyway.”
“Yes. If we could please get back to the
subject at hand,” Sylvan said dryly. “You say you saw everyone in the Unmated
Males section turning into some kind of…”
“Demons. They looked like some kind of demons.” Becca
shivered and
