Becky POV
"What!!!"
The word tore out of me like a scream trapped behind my ribs.
"My Brother."
Master Felix gasped for air as he coughed violently.
Mom quickly hit his back.
There was silence.
The room spun so violently I had to grip the edge of the table to stay upright. My ears rang, drowning out everything except the pounding of my heart and the echo of that single word.
"Brother."
Kenneth.
This explained the bond and the sudden care Mom always showed him.
The family he had been looking for all along had been right under his nose, and Mom, what she did, I'm not sure if Kenneth was going to forgive any of us.
Just then my vision blurred. The bond surged.
"No!!" I screamed. Inside me, I felt fear and pain.
. A suffocating darkness that wasn't mine, yet lived in my bones like it had always belonged there.
I gasped, clutching my chest.
"Becky!" Father reached for me.
"Don't touch me," I snapped, stumbling back.
