KAEL POV
The blast knocked me to my knees.
Shadow magic crashed into the room walls like thunder. Chunks of stone fell from the roof. I rolled sideways as a piece bigger than my head smashed where I'd been standing.
"Jaxon!" I yelled. "Lucien!"
Through the smoke and dust, I saw my brothers. Jaxon was bleeding from a cut on his scalp. Lucien was helping Aria stay on her feet.
But the two Shadow Lords were still fighting. The real one and the chameleon Zara. Their power was tearing the whole place apart.
"We have to do something," I said.
"Like what?" Jaxon wiped blood from his eyes. "We're not exactly winning here."
That's when I felt it. A pull in my chest. Not the mate link this time. Something else. Something I'd never felt before.
It was coming from my brothers.
"Do you feel that?" I asked them.
Lucien looked up. His eyes were wide. "Yes. It's like... like we're linked."
"We are connected," Jaxon said. "We're twins. We've always been linked."
