I gasped, shooting straight up in bed. My hand instantly went to my heart, which hammered against my ribs. I was sweating and trying to catch my breath.
I’d heard that soulmates could feel each other from across the world. It didn’t matter how far apart you were. Your soul could feel theirs.

Her turmoil.
What the hell is happening?
The panic started to settle in, and it was suffocating. For the past month, I thought of nothing but Isla.

There wasn’t a second that I didn’t see her face, her smile, hear her laughter, her moan…
Screaming my name.
“I want you.” She positioned my dick at her entrance. “I’m yours.”
“Isla, don’t say things you can’t understand.”
“I love?—”
“Don’t say things I can’t understand.”
“Julius—”
I kissed her.
I was so lost.
I didn’t want to leave her, but I couldn’t stay with her either. Not in that house. It was a ticking time bomb for me. I was beyond exhausted. I spent my entire life taking care of someone else who didn’t give a shit about it.
I sacrificed my life for what…
I had nothing to show for it.
No degree.
No job.
Not a future.
