She heaved a sigh, reaching out and grabbing his hand to give it a quick squeeze. âI know, and I love you, too.â Cass couldnât keep from clucking her tongue against her teeth. âApparently they can when magic is involved.â Her body flopped back against the couch as she let out a breath of frustration, but let her brother go through his rant. âYeah, Ezra the lawyer. Also Ezra the witch. And I guess so long as the witches decide not to light it up, the world is as fine today as it was yesterday. I donât - I know this sounds insane. I know I sound insane. I get it, Nate, I do. But Iâm being one hundred percent honest with you.â Good God, he wasnât handling this well, and she hadnât even gotten to the part he was likely to hate the most. âI donât know how else to tell you. Witches and werewolves are real, and God only knows what else. I talked to Bunny and yeah. Sheâs known for a long time. Apparently those stories were meant to prepare us or something.â Her lower lip found its way between her teeth as she worked up to the last part. âThereâs more⊠the man who turned in front of me. The werewolf? He saysâŠâ Ugh, how did she even phrase this? âHe says Iâm his soulmate.â The rest of the words came out in a rush as she turned to look at her brother, her big brown eyes begging for understanding.Â
Nathan stared at his sister for several long moments not saying anything. He had listened to the same stories as her when they were young but he had always thought they were just that. Stories. He didnât want to hear all of this. Where was the proof? Besides the now perfectly healed wrist he couldnât see anything that said that supernaturals were real. This was too much. Maybe he was dreaming and soon he would wake up from this weird nightmare. He doubted it though. He knew he was awake. A soulmate? His sister not only wanted him to accept that there were all kinds of creatures out there but to also accept that there were soulmates now too? âSoulmates? But what does that even mean Cass? Youâre like meant to be with him or something? Does everyone have a soulmate? Iâm sorry Iâm trying to handle this but this is hard. Youâre asking a lot of me. You know I never believed those stories that she used to tell.â
