And, judging by the two Krevs’ expressions, it was not something they had expected to see.

It was hard enough coming to terms with the idea I had one fated mate… never mind two!

FEON

The Twin Joisa.

I gazed at it and fell into its inky black depths, the force stronger than if it were a black hole sucking me in.

Fated mates were rare enough, but Twin Fated Mates?

Virtually unheard of.

Virtually.

There had been cases — myths and legends, really — about Krevs who had claimed a female and shared her between them.

Books had been written about it, stories told, passed down through the ages…

But no one living had ever seen it for themselves and so history had passed into mythology.

And now, the truth had resurfaced once again.

The moment I had seen Beth’s Joisa, I had at first assumed my eyes were deceiving me.

Perhaps she already had a birthmark there that I had not noticed before or it was some kind of cruel joke someone was playing on us or some other reason I couldn’t yet quite fathom now but would later turn out to be true

I had no idea what the reason could be but any explanation was more likely to be true than what my eyes were telling me.

That the Twin Joisa at the base of Beth’s spine was, in fact, real.

Initially, my brain turned to mush, unable to mutter a single word out loud.

Aslas had likewise become silent — very unlike him — dumbfounded into numbness.

We both continued to stare at Beth’s beautiful smooth skin and that tattoo.

That tattoo.

The full ramifications of the situation began to hit me.

We would become instant celebrities in the Krev culture and Emperors and Kings and Queens throughout the galaxy would wish to meet us.

If we did not travel to them, then they would happily travel to us, just to glimpse the miracle that was the Twin Joisa.

And miracle was the correct word.

What else did you call something that had only ever been whispered among schoolchildren and pondered by academics as to whether or not it was real or even possible?

Suddenly, all my thoughts of enjoying a quiet life went up in smoke.

There could be no quiet life after this, no way to keep out of the spotlight.

We would become the most famous personalities in the entire Empire — perhaps even greater than the Emperor himself!

I placed my hands to my forehead, my head suddenly feeling light and dizzy, my horns drawing my head down, suddenly extremely heavy.
