“Wait, wait,” I say aloud, sitting upward. My heart races at the strangest turn of events. “This isn’t right. This isn’t supposed to happen.” I keep reading. Page after page after page. I bite my thumbnail to the bed, my heart catapulting and plummeting as Solana is wooed by Vaughn, the human. Ever since I was little, Zarek was always Solana’s greatest love. Soul-matched. Together throughout all eternity to rule the two mightiest planets in the known solar system.
