"Lystra, I feel the pull to her too," Jordan spoke up making me fall back to my seat. "I feel the pull to the both of you." The last sentence a bit softer.
"What does that mean?" I wasn't sure if I was shouting or whispering.
My body went cold. I felt as if my soul was trying to escape the confinement of my skin as if I was floating outside my own body but still glued to the table.
"Lystra, you have to understand, you and Noella were once one being. The mate of a twin can feel the connection to both of them."
"But do you feel the mate bond, Noella?" I asked my sister who still hadn't let Jordan's hand go. What a fool I was, they both were holding hands not just her.
"I feel something more, I love him." She defended.
"I love her too." Jordan's words echoed in my head.
"She isn't your mate. I am." I argued.
"No Lystra, she is my mate. I get to choose. I chose her."
I heard him, but the words 'I love her too' in his voice was still repeating in my head. Too much to process with the sound of blood in my head.
