Kiran’s touch completed my soul. As if my heart had been searching for its other half all of my life, I had found completion in him.

    Talbott coughed behind us and I was momentarily forced to leave Kiran’s mouth. I did not however have to leave his arms, and so I stayed wrapped inside them, unwilling to leave his touch for even a moment. I laughed a little to myself when I noticed that neither Avalon nor Talbott were able to look directly at us.
    Prime surveillance opportunity. This should be fun for you. I sent this thought poignantly to Avalon and watched him return it with a scowl.
    Our exchange was short however, and I doubted Talbott or Kiran would have understood it even if they saw a look pass between us.
    The fact that Avalon and I were twins had to remain a secret from everybody but the Resistance.
    Although our connection and bond was as natural to me as breathing, if anyone were to find out outside of the Resistance we would be instantly captured or have to go on the run.
    Twins had always been somewhat of a phenomenon in Immortal history, but since the ban on interracial marriage, they had been non-60/711
    existent. The fact that we were twins did not only suggest an amount of power unattainable to the rest of the Immortal population, and possibly the restoration of eternal life, but it identified exactly who our parents were.
    In order to be twins, a certain mixture of magic had to occur, including all four Immortal types in recent genealogical history. And since interracial marriage was completely banned in the kingdom, except for the royal family, a mixture like that was impossible for anyone else. But, Avalon and I contained all four types of magic from either our parents or grandparents. Because of this we were unique among all Immortals and would be hunted because of it.
    Not only would the current king, Kiran’s father Lucan, desire our literal Immortal potential, he would use us as a trap to bate out our parents.
    Unfortunately, Lucan fell in love with our mother a long time ago, and instead of marrying him, she ran off with our father, Lucan’s personal body guard.

    Now our parents, Delia and Justice, were out there, somewhere, or they were not out there…
    they were dead. We didn’t really know. All we did know was that my mother was part witch, part medium and my father was part Titan, part Shape-shifter. These powers combined gave birth to Avalon and me and now our true identities were our most dangerous asset.
    “Should we go inside?” Talbott cut through my thoughts with an authoritative voice and gestured towards the house. Tonight, Avalon and I were not the only ones who should be paranoid. We followed Avalon into the house and Talbott did a short search of the premises. My Aunt Syll was still at the hospital, there was no sign of life inside the house. Avalon plopped down on one of the oversized couches in the living room of our quaint Tudor style house. He used magic to turn on the lights in both the living room and chef’s kitchen through an adjoining doorway.
    The rest of us stood there awkwardly staring at one another, no one entirely sure what to do.

    Kiran had yet to let go of me, and I stood nestled in his embrace wishing everyone else would just disappear.
    “Does anybody want something to drink?” I asked, trying to play hostess. I noticed Talbott shake his head negatively and Kiran didn’t get a chance to answer before Avalon spoke up.
    “Yeah, I’ll take a coke,” Avalon was clearly not as disturbed by Kiran’s presence as he once was.
    He dropped his feet noisily onto the coffee table and flicked the TV on using magic once again. I rolled my eyes but made my way to the kitchen, while Sports Center came to life on the large flat screen.
    Kiran followed me into my aunt’s gorgeous chef’s kitchen. Although Aunt Syll was a very skilled ER surgeon, her cooking skills lacked fin-esse to say the least. This didn’t stop her from renovating the
