Kian stood up immediately, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"How are you...?"
He swallowed as he watched her walk toward him with her seductively beautiful smile. Her red hair swayed with each step she took, circling him as if she were a predator and he was her prey.
Eva stopped right behind him. "It seems you have the power to summon me."
Kian frowned. In the past, their connection was so strong that he could summon her using the magic of the mark. With the shadow, she could move where she wanted, but to find him and make her go, he had to use the mark on his back, and that took years to achieve. Only their old connection could do it.
"Kian..." Eva hugged him from behind.
The warmth of her body was real, and at the same time not, even though she was the woman he loved and still loves, she had lost something precious that day. He couldn't love her fully if she didn't love him back.
"What's happening?"
