have to question me? I never questioned him.
    Maybe he was right. If Matt wasn’t my twin flame, Nick would leave him alone. The pounding of my heart didn’t tell me anything. When we had started to speak in the beginning, I hadn’t been attracted to him. It wasn’t until he had flirted with me that I saw how handsome he was.
    ‘Yes,’ I murmured, remembering the intense feelings when Matt first smiled at me.
    I opened my eyes for a second, staring up at my brother through my hair. It was over my shoulders now. The longest it had ever been.
    Aries covered his mouth with his hand before nodding. ‘Okay, we’ll find a way around this.’
    Blinking, I cleared my throat. Gemini stood behind the sofa, fiddling with his jacket. It wouldn’t take long for Father to get to our home. He only worked a few minutes away.
    ‘What would you have said if I didn’t believe he was my soulmate?’ The question was out of my mouth before I even thought about it.
    The others seemed to know who their twin flame was. They were brought together by the universe. That’s how I knew that Matt was mine. When the boys had initially told me to take care of Matt when they had captured him, I had agreed. Not because I wanted to but because something had made me. A feeling.
    It had been a few years since we had kept Matt as a prisoner in the attic of our old home. Ever since I had met him, all I could do was dream about being with him.
    ‘Nothing.’ Aries got up from his seat.
    I grabbed hold of his wrist before he could walk away. Squeezing his bracelet into his skin, I made him look down at me. ‘I want to know.’
    His jaw clenched but he didn’t pull away. ‘I would’ve told Nick where to shove it. And left Matt to his fate.’
    The gasp that left my mouth echoed around the room. Aries could deliver tough love sometimes but…
    ‘He’s right, Cancer. Nick isn’t stupid. If you left Matt to his fate, he would know that you’re not his twin flame soulmate. In fact-’
    ‘That’s the answer!’ Aries interrupted.
    Gemini scowled. The lift started to creak as it retreated back to the ground floor. Someone was coming. Father must have arrived.
    ‘You’re both mad!’ I cried.
    They looked at me, frowning when I stood up. They had a habit of taking over. Forgetting that I had a say in how I would deal with Nick. This was my problem, not theirs. I had chosen to fall in love with a married man. A man who had worked for our enemy. A man that I should never have wanted to be with, ever.
    ‘Don’t get worked up,’ Gemini said, settling back on the sofa.
    The lift cranked to a stop and the gate rattled open. There was another door next to the lift that led to the stairs. The building was creepy. There were codes on all entrances but the stairs were spooky. I always tried to take the lift because it was the less scary option.
    ‘Hello, kids,’ Father greeted.
    It hadn’t taken us long to move into the building. Once the boys had decided that we needed to hide again, we were dragged along. I didn’t mind as long as I was with my siblings. I shared a room with Virgo. It had taken some time to get used to each other but as long as I kept my space tidy, she left me alone. I missed Pisces, though.
    ‘What’s going on?’ Father demanded.
    He strode over to us and perched on the edge of the sofa. His suit was immaculate. In fact, he looked even more dressed up than normal.
    ‘We interrupted something, didn’t we?’ Gemini said.
    Shaking his head, Father waved his hand. ‘Don’t worry about it. Now, tell me what’s up.’
    Digging my fingernails into the palm of my hand, I stayed where I was. Both Gemini and Aries watched me. Waiting to see if I would explain.
    ‘I have to give myself over to Nick.’
    Aries shook his head. Gemini cringed, sinking further into his seat. Father kept his face blank.
    I didn’t care that they disapproved. There was no way I was going to let Nick kill Matt. Even if there was a chance that he wasn’t
