“Karr, who’s at the door?”

“Nessah. NessahMarrock,” I yelled out before he could lie or shut this down.

She appeared behind him and I frowned, realizing her eyes were cloudy and glazed over. She also had her arms extended and palms facing forward like she was cautious about things being in her way.

“Nessah…” She smiled softly.

“You can’t see…” I blurted out and her smile expanded.

“I see, but not through those eyes of mine anymore.” She latched onto Karr’s arm as if needing him to balance her.

“Oh, I just… Last time I saw you…”

She smiled again. “Yes, a lot has changed. For both of us, I see.”

I wasn’t sure how but she turned her head slightly and smiled toward Zion at my right.

I frowned. “You see him.”

She shook her head. “No, I feel him. I feel both of you. You found him.”

“What?”

“Your mate, child. You found him.”

My mouth dropped open.

“You know them, Auntie?”

“I do; you can relax,” she addressed Karr. “This is Will and Ina’s daughter. You know her sister Neyla.”

“Neyla, yes…” I narrowed my eyes at Karr. Something about the way he said her name felt different but Sula spoke right after, shifting my thoughts.

“Nessah was to marry Rolf…”

Zion growled lowly next to me and my wolf responded the same. Sula smiled. “I certainly am not insinuating she should have, only that she was selected. Nessah and Rolf were never meant to be.”

“You knew that too?” My frown deepened.

“I know a lot of things. These visions are both a blessing and a curse. Part of that curse is losing my sight each time I allow foresight. The other is having to keep secrets that could ruin lives. I kept your secret.”

“My secret.”

“Yes, child, your secret. When I refused to bless the union…”

“Because I couldn’t have children,” I cut in and she smiled.

“I never said you couldn’t have children, Nessah. I said you wouldn’t have them with Rolf. You’ll have twins. A boy and a girl, forhim. Your true mate.”

My mouth dropped open and the words jolted through my brain. “Twins…” I whispered. “But you said…”

“I said what I needed to save you from a destiny that wasn’t meant to be yours.”

“You lied,” Zion stated, his tone laced with anger.

“I didn’t lie. I never said she couldn’t have children.”

“But why wouldn’t you tell me the truth? I thought I…they made me leave. I was alone…”
