Serena saw Eiravyn smiling at the other girl, and a stabbing pain shot through her chest. It felt like a part of her was being forcefully ripped out.
Eiravyn was surprised to see Serena standing in the hallway. Was she here to see me? Eiravyn thought, and smiled at her.
When a whirlwind of negative emotions crashed on him — hurt, anger, dejection, disbelief— they switched so quickly and amplified each other that he was unable to breathe for a second.
Eiravyn wondered whose emotions were getting mixed with his own. And then he was caught unprepared when a sudden onslaught of betrayal overtook his senses.
Eiravyn gasped. These emotions were not his own, he lifted his head and saw Serena's defeated expression, creating an agonizing hole in his chest. It was then he realized that the emotions were not coming from his or any other person — but from his mate.
Serena was in his mind — her emotions, burning brighter than his own.
