I shut the door behind him and he reached for his pants once more.

“Wait,” I said.

I turned and locked the door in case a member of staff attempted to come in and found us in a… precarious position.

My heart was in my throat.

I gulped and gave him the nod to continue.

All the thoughts and feelings I’d had of Lizzy, all the time I had imagined being with her, the sense of immense depth and endless love… might it not really belong to me at all but to Lizzy and Blor instead?

I had clearly seen the Joisa tattoo on Lizzy.

There was no doubting that.

I hadn’t checked myself for my Joisa yet.

I had taken it as read.

But now this fool was saying he possessed the Joisa too…

If he was right, it meanthewas Lizzy’s fated mate, not me.

The tattoo I had seen on Lizzy’s body might be the Joisa linking her to Blor, not me.

I didn’t want to look at it, didn’t want to see if Blor was right…

And yet, I couldn’t live my life without knowing.

Eventually, I would have to know anyway.

I gulped as Blor eased his pants down and raised his shirt.

And there it was.

My heart pounded like I’d run non-stop for a solid week.

My body shivered and shook and I couldn’t hold myself upright.

It was the Joisa.

I didn’t even need to check it was genuine as the design matchedperfectlythe one on Lizzy’s body.

They joined together to create a complete whole.

Two halves of the same Joisa.

Fated mates.

I turned away and wrapped a hand around my mouth, unable to fully process the emotions streaming through me at that moment.

My eyes stung and I could barely contain myself.

There could be no doubting it.

Not now.

It was real.
