Sickening chills ran down my spine as a question lingered in the tip of my tongue, one I did not want to voice it out loud but need to.
"Chaos," I inhaled sharply and his anxious gaze turned to me, probably feeling my next question, "is there any outcome that could make so Dalilah would be... somehow mated to the Soul spirit?"
Please, say no. Please, say no.
{"Yes,"} I felt my heart sinking.
"In... in what scenario?"
{"If you kill the human who's mated to my envious brother, in a scenario where they learned about me with you and attacked us with killing intent, that would leave my brother unmated. If he isn't wounded to a temporary death, he would go away and try finding a possible human mate, one that would have been born in the same night as you, who would be an enemy of yours. Dalilah."}
"Do you think that could... be avoided?" Even though I asked that, I knew it was a helpless possibility.
