Astrological sign: Scorpio
Favorite part of Katmere Academy: Grace
What makes you laugh every single time: The way Grace goes through portals headfirst. I’ve really got to show her an easier way.
Something only your best friend would know: Grace doesn’t remember this, but I once told her how my abilities work, and she made me swear to never, ever use them again. It’s the only time I’ve ever not kept a promise I made her.
She doesn’t think I notice her looking, but that’s just because she still doesn’t understand how attuned to her I am. She breathes and I feel it; she blinks and I hear it. I was in her head for months, and that’s after everything we went through to find each other the first time. There’s nothing she does that I don’t feel in my soul.
And just like that, I’m sick of pretending that I don’t see her. That I don’t feel her. That she isn’t my mate. So this time when her eyes flicker over to me, I catch her gaze. And hold it.
She belongs to me the same way I belong to her.
“Why do you have to be like this?” She makes a frustrated sound deep in her throat. Maybe because you keep ripping my heart out of my chest and stomping on it?
“Of course I miss Grace,” I answer. “She’s my mate, and she consistently rips my fucking heart out of my chest. But I’m not brooding. I’m wallowing. There’s a difference.”
“I don’t know. I just—” She stops and blows out a shaky breath. “I miss you. I know it’s bullshit; I know I have no right to say it to you. But I miss you.”
That I am her true north and that as long as she has me, she’ll always find her way.
