began at the crown of my head, and like a slow rippling waterfall it eased down my body. When it reached my core I gasped as every muscle in my body flexed, then relaxed. I felt the quiver fall down my legs to the tips of my toes.
    “Feel me now?” he asked in a sultry tone.
    “Back away,” I gasped.
    “I never touched you. Now tell me, why would you assume I was evil by not being able to feel me?”
    “I never feel evil. They’re a void to me.”
    A grin that would melt any soul slowly eased across his face. “That means we are one and the same. You can call it evil. I call it real.”
    “What does that mean? ”
    He crossed his arms and let the tips of his long fingers slowly caress his bottom lip, studying me with those alluring eyes before he answered.
    “Souls are not voids unless they are cut from the same cloth.”
    “You’re trying to say that I’m darkness?”
    Raising one brow, he said, “No, you are.”
    “I fight darkness.”
    “Don’t we all?” That phrase brought a sardonic grin to the corner of his lips.
    “Stop toying with me. Leave.”
    He let his fingertips fall from his lip and crossed his arms, pulling back his broad shoulders.
    “How old is your soul?”
    “Old.”
    “Yet you’re not immortal,” he mused.
    “No one ever really dies.”
    He smirked. “Wise words. But some are foolish enough to erase their mind and start again for nothing more than kicks and giggles.”
    “Natural order. We die, we begin again.”
    “Natural order.” He grinned as he spoke those words. “I know you. I don’t know how I know you, but I do. You and I are one and the same. What I don’t know is why Skylynn gave you my ashes, what game she’s playing.”
    “What’s with the ashes? You have them. Move on.”
    “I don’t have all of them. You see, Skylynn is too prideful to ask for help, so she manipulates me for her gain.”
    “Like I said, I don’t know her. I can’t feel you, so I don’t know if you’re telling me the truth. I have bigger issues. I want you to leave. Don’t make me ask again.”
    “Is that a dare? Do you want to feel me again?” I stepped back, which caused a seductive laugh to echo within him. “I’ll take that as a no.” He glanced at the hallway. “For God’s sake, back off the ice, mate.” A second later, the icy walls in the hallway returned to normal. “Who is she? Why are you guarding her?” he asked no one.
    But he must have heard something because a sense of recognition washed over his face. Before he could say another word, the room began to shake. The candles fell over and plants hit the floor. Chairs flipped backwards.
    He took me in his arms and turned me to face the room that was falling apart.
    “All right, mate, calm down,” he said with an ease that was beyond terrifying.
    “Who are you talking to? ” I said through clenched teeth, trying to break away, but his body, which was pressed firmly against my back, was as solid as iron, a wall that I could not find the power to move.
    “He claims he was your mate, though I don’t believe him.”
    My heart began to beat violently. All I could think about was Landen. Had something happened to him? What was this boy saying?
    Lightning brought the room to a white haze for a second, then the thunder that followed caused the room to shake viciously.
    “Enough,” the boy holding me said firmly. “She can’t see you or hear you.”
    “Who are you talking to? ” I yelled.
    “Someone who wants your attention,” he mumbled.
    “I get that. Who?”
    “Trying to figure that out.” He held me tighter. “Clear out, leave him here with us,” he said to the room.
    “I can’t see anyone.”
    “That’s an issue.” He leaned down, then against my neck he whispered, “Willow...is that your name?”
    A sensation twice as strong as the one before eased down my spine. “Tell me yours, and I’ll tell you mine.” I meant for that to sound sarcastic, but I was almost sure the gasp in my breath lent
