"Who are the two girls?" I ask, fearing the answer she'll give. And my sister," she whispers, brokenly. The air gets stuck in my throat as the words strike my already battered heart in a way I don't understand. There is something just on the surface, but before I can fully grasp what it is, it disappears. "Sister?" I choke the words out in one breath. "Yeah" "You had a sister, a twin sister at that and you never freaking told me?" Everything is moving in slow motion as my brain slowly registers her response. How does she have a twin sister? And where the hell is the sister now? How cI didn't know a single fucking thing about it? What else has she been hiding from me? My hands tremble as waves of shock flow through my tired body. "Yes... and I didn't tell you because you weren't ready for it just yet," she answers, her voice cautious and small. "And now I'm ready for that information?" I snap. "Is that what you are trying to say?" "Mhmm," she mumbles in a low pitch. My anger vanishes, and I stay silent. My eyes stare ahead without really seeing anything. She answered my question, but there is still something missing. Those feelings I felt earlier? Yeah, they are still there. They are even more overwhelming now that I understand who the two girls are. "So, I just got a memory? One of you and your sister?" I mumble, again rubbing my chest, trying to chase the ache that's there. "Yes," "Was the other one a memory too?" I push, remembering the dream of the girls, though they were younger in that one. I already know the answer, but I just want confirmation. "Yes," She retreats after giving a one-word answer. I'm left with questions I can't answer. The first one at the forefront is: Why did I start getting her memories in the form of dreams? Although it just confirms what I'd suspected before. Nyx has been there a long time, and she was once someone else's wolf... but why? They are memories, like she told me. Why am I relieving them? Should I be a clean slate, where my life and the life of her previous human don't collide? The second question is: why does it feel so real? Why does it feel like the pain that's haunting is not just Nyx's, but mine, too? Is it because now that I have bonded with her and she's my wolf, her pain has become? It's all confusing, and I don't have anyone to helpfigure this shit out. The one who could shed light on things is Nyx, and we all know how she rarely tells what's happening. Maybe it's time I started doing my research. If I continue to sit and wait for Nyx to reveal the truth, at this rate, I'll be waiting forever. Sighing for the hundredth time, I finish dressing, get up, and leave the room for breakfast. I walk through the corridors distractedly. Going down the stairs, I almost slipped and fell because my mind was on Nyx and what she'd just revealed. I was still trying to wrap my head around the fact that Nyx has a twin sister when I stopped dead in my tracks after entering the dining room. My mouth hangs open in shock as I stare at Alec, seated at the head of the table with none other than Aspen on his lap.
