That day, Jackson and I had to give Xander and... Mia... ugh, a tour. Mia literally was eye-raping Jackson. Xander did not leave my side. He was completely protective over me and didn't let me go anywhere alone.
Finally, when the night time hit, I was able to escape back home.
"Where you going Syrina?" Xander's voice purrs. "The party just started at the club."
"I don't do clubs." I say and go up the stairs to my bedroom.
"Oh come on. It's just one night." His hand touches me and I gasp. Tingles run up my arm, just like when Jackson touches me.
"No. I have to go check on my pack. That, and you have been hogging me like a dog. So please, go away."
"Syrina." Xander's voice became stern. "I just wanted to tell you that I have been hogging you because you are my mate."
I freeze. Hatred fills me. Nobody claims to be my mate unless it's true. "You wish lover boy. Now, leave!" Lightning bursts from my hand and slams into Xander. He staggers back his eyes full of shock and awe.
I blink and look at my hand. I turn and run. I run into my room. Xander was close to my heels. I slam the door behind me. Ryder and Esmerelda already felt my fear and were right next to me holding the door shut as Xander tried to break through. Finally, he stops and leaves.
"Syrina? What happened?" asks Esmerelda in worry as she leads me to my bed.
I sigh and collapse onto the bed. "I have a lot to tell you guys."
I then proceed to tell them everything that happened. I tell them my dream, my mate bond with Jackson, NightRaider's plan to lure Jackson to Mia and me to Xander, and how I shot lightning from my hand.
When I finish Esmerelda and Ryder were speechless.
"Woah...." Ryder whispers.
"You got to tell Jackson!" shrills Esmerelda.
"I will! As soon as I can, they currently are partying at the club. But my question is how am I feeling a 'mate attraction' to Xander?!"
Esmerelda purses her lips, "Well, since both of you are such powerful opposites. Opposites attract. So maybe that's why. If you didn't find your mate bond with Jackson first, you probably will have never known that Xander wasn't your true mate."
I groan and burry my face into my hands. "And what about the lightning?"
"I'm not sure about that. I'll ask the dead witches tonight in my sleep. But one thing I do know, NightRaider and Xander both underestimate your strength. That is why you were there early, that is why you got your memory back, that is why you shot lightning."
"Can I sleep with you tonight Ezzie?" I ask, getting fearful.
Esmerelda nods her head, "Of course Sy. I promise, tomorrow morning, all of us will go to Jackson and tell him."
