Primal Heat 2
Page 8
Ezra’s cat had looked at Eli’s. Silence, but communication, as it always had been between the twins. They each regretted, each hated, each felt the boiling dark anger taking its rightful place inside them.
It was the same, this haunting memory. Each time it came, it left Eli breathless and sad from the continued streak it had created in his life. And yet, she had entered and taken her place in his destiny without him noticing, without him being able to stop her.
Nivea’s cat stood outside the hut when Eli’s cat exited in the dream this time, as if she’d been waiting for him all along. Again. Only this time when Eli went to her, when he let down his guard and gave in to the mating he felt inexplicably drawn to, Nivea turned to run away and before she could get far, she was captured. Grabbed at the base of her skull by a bigger, deadlier jaguar that was hell-bent on revenge.
