In fact, the closest thing this world has to a god would have been very upset at his presence. Fortunately for him, by the time she noticed, it was too late to interfere.

We thought we’d prepared for the fight. We were wrong. Everything I was told about the first soul mates could never prepare me for their actual arrival. More powerful than we could prepare for, the first soul mates control the minds of our closest allies, leaving The Six and my soul mate without any option but to surrender to their murderous ways. When suicides and disappearances go on the rise in our community, I know the first soul mates are behind it, and when I discover the reason, it’s more nightmarish than I could have imagined.
