“You said if I found a book about the twin flame bond, you would answer my questions.”
“I did,” Eliza said with a nod.
“So they take this Mark and that’s it?”
“No,” Eliza said slowly. “The Mark is an offering of their souls to each other. A Claiming Rite is spoken when the Mark is given and initiates the Trials. They must face four Trials that strengthen their bond. If they complete them all, the bond is Anointed, sealing them as each other’s for eternity. It is rare to find one’s twin flame.”
“And what of one’s soulmate?” He had read about those, too. Twin flames were equals in every way. They were companions and lovers and linked in magic and soul. But a soulmate was one’s closest friend. There was no physical component with soulmates, just a kindred soul connection.
“What of it?” Eliza asked.
“Are they soulmates? Sorin and Scarlett?”
“What do you think?”
“I think it would make sense if they are. The connection they seem to have. How he can talk to her, help her. How protective he is of her.”
“If they are, would you hold it against them?”
“No. I would not like it, but I cannot control such a thing.”
“And you could control other facets of their relationship?”
He paused at her question. “Are soulmates ever lovers?”
“No. There is no romantic intimacy between soulmates. Only a deep love and connection of the soul,” Eliza answered.
“He wishes for more from her.”
“Does he?” Eliza asked, cocking her head to the side.
“It is evident in the way he looks at her. I am not stupid or blind to such a desire, as I am sure it is a mirror of my own,” Callan replied coldly. Eliza did not respond. “What does his twin flame have to say about his lusting after another female? Does she not live in this palace?”
“The twin flame bond is not always accepted by both parties,” Eliza answered with a shrug of her shoulders. “It does not happen often, but sometimes one or both do not want the bond, despite the pull of it. Sometimes the Fates get it wrong. Just because it exists does not mean one must submit to it.”
“She rejects the twin flame bond, or he does?”
“I did not say either of them rejects it. I do not know where she considers her home to be.”
“Could you be any more vague?” Callan asked in frustration, running a hand through his brown hair and pushing it back from his face.
“I’m sure I could,” Eliza replied with a smirk.
“Can you give me one straight answer? A yes or a no?” Callan asked, gripping his glass tighter.
“That depends on the question.”
“Are Sorin and Scarlett soulmates or not?”
“No, I do not think that they are,” Eliza answered.
“Will he reject his twin flame bond for her?”
“You said one straight answer. I have fulfilled my end of that bargain,” Eliza said, pushing off from the door. She pulled it open, looking over her shoulder. “I suggest lying low for a few days, Princeling.”
As the door clicked shut behind her, Callan hurled his glass at it. It shattered everywhere, alcohol sliding down the door. Finn came rushing from his room, a dagger in his hand.
“What the hell, Callan?” he barked, lowering his dagger at the empty room.
