started walking towards the door which Maya had left through, figuring that staying was the best way to ease his Origin's fury.
    “Of course she did. You hold her heart and yet you are nothing but an asshole. She knows how to deal with those,” Cany called after him and he couldn’t help it, he actually laughed.
    “Clearly, so do you,” he winked over his shoulder, seeing how finally her rigid pose relaxed. He hated being what she had just called him, but in lately that side of him seemed to be too dominant for his own likin g .

The house was finally silent and as much as Jaden had wished that Kaden wouldn’t have interrupted things between him and Maya, he no longer had been in a mood to seduce her afterwards. However she had done it, Kaden had stayed, too. No running away, no terrible excuses, no nothing for his elusive twin.
    Now though, he wanted to talk to Kaden. They hadn’t had a chance earlier since Matt and Ryder had joined them for dinner and there really hadn’t been a reason to mention their troubles in front of the other warriors, yet now Jaden was curious.
    Kissing the side of Maya’s head, he got up, just pulling on his jeans and nothing more, knowing that his twin had seen it all anyway. He slipped out, finding the hallways dimly lit. There was no sunlight filtering in since the shutters had been closed for the day. He didn’t miss the sun any longer; if he needed to see something shine, he looked at Maya whenever he brought her a single white rose or that tea she liked so much from one of the cafés downtown. She was his sun, his stars, and his moon now. She was his everything and he was ready to do whatever was needed to get her to finally feel comfortable.
    If he’d have to describe her feelings, he’d probably say that there was a shadow hanging over their happy cloud and Jaden didn’t like that at all.
    He knocked softly, taking care not to wake everyone in the household, which was the burden of preternatural hearing.
    Kaden opened, basically wearing the same outfit he did. It was crazy, but with his twin standing inside the room and him standing outside, it was like a bad mirror: Kaden looked a lot brawnier than Jaden remembered while he was still looking as healthy as they came. It was weird that suddenly Kaden was the serious twin, the intense one. Now though a smile cracked up his face.
    “Nice outfit,” he grinned and then gestured for Jaden to enter with a simple nod of his head.
    “You, too,” Jaden replied with humor in his voice, then he reminded himself that he was pissed at his twin. “What if one of those nights you were supposed to be with us, we would have been attacked? I couldn’t have saved Maya by myself,” he accused and Kaden’s shoulders instantly tensed.
    “I had stuff to do. I didn’t think they’d let you and her go alone,” he admitted and Jaden sighed.
    “Seriously? With all those Hellraise coming to have her blood, you thought the warriors had someone to spare? You were my backup. You left me hanging. You left her hanging,” Jaden growled and Kaden turned away from him. Something was very wrong, but just like Maya wasn’t speaking, Kaden seemed reluctant to offer any real information. “Does Maya know what you are doing? Is that why she is not mad at you when you put her second?”
    Kaden’s head whipped around, his brown eyes firing daggers at Jaden. “Leave Maya out of this. She never will be second for… any of us.” Me. Jaden had heard it as clear as if Kaden had actually said the word. The break was too obvious and something started to nag at him, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. Something was very wrong with Kaden and yet Maya was as protective of him as his twin was of her.
    “She knows, doesn’t she?” Jaden inquired again and Kaden combed his fingers through his dark, blond hair, leaving it messy. It was such a typical scene for them that Jaden almost saw hope for his twin. Maybe he was less lost than Jaden thought.
    “Maya
