I’m your brother.” “My brother?” The foreign word stuck to my tongue. All these years I’d spent wondering about my mother. Who she was, the life she lived, why she’d abandoned me?

Children she wanted…unlike me. “I don’t believe you.” I tugged at my bound wrists and feet. “Besides, this is a hell of a way to have a family reunion.” “You wouldn’t give me time to explain. Waiting any longer was too dangerous. Couldn’t you sense her there? I’m sure she would’ve sent one of them to stop me. I had to act.” Chance ran his hand through his shaggy locks, causing more disarray. “They know we’re together, now.
