all of herself with her spouse, without seen as psychotic. The fact that she could hear the thoughts of her parents, thoughts that were never meant to be shared, had also put Cailyn off of getting close to anyone, especially romantically. The truth can be very hurtful. That desire changed when she met John. He was different. Sure, he desired her, but he also saw her . He loved how devoted she was to Elsie and Jessie, he appreciated her work ethic, and never griped about her long hours. She had not yet shared her abilities with him, but that was more about old fears than him rejecting her. She was sure that he would love her despite her abnormality.
    She came out of her thoughts to realize her sister was watching her. “I want to call John, but I need to tell you something first.”
    “You know you can tell me anything,” Elsie reassured.
    “I know,” Cailyn paused, thinking about how best to tell Elsie. No pretty words came to mind. Nothing to do but tell her. “I broke off my engagement with John.”
    Elsie’s mouth dropped open and did an imitation of a fish before she responded. “When, Cai? Why, what happened?”
    “Several months ago. I don’t know how to explain it, but this has to do with Jace. Things got to the point where I felt like I was doing both of us a disservice if I didn’t call things off until I got my head on straight.”
    “Oh my God! I had no idea that you and Jace had a thing going. How have you hidden it? Why in the hell didn’t you tell me sooner? I’m your sister, and I know you have Jessie, but I thought we were closer than that,” Elsie questioned, the hurt clear in her eyes. Cailyn felt terrible for keeping this from her sister and needed to make it better.
    Cailyn took a deep breath that sent pain shooting through her chest. When she tried to lift her hand to run it through Elsie’s hair, her arm wouldn’t respond. Her body was simply too fatigued to move. She settled for getting her hand to her sister’s arm. “It’s not like that. Jace and I don’t have anything going on at all. Before earlier today he had not said more than a few words to me. I wasn’t even sure he remembered my name, or who I was other than your older sister. My problem was my reaction to him. From the moment I met him I was enthralled. I thought about him constantly and still do. I just couldn’t continue my engagement to John while I wanted another man as much as I did…and do,” she whispered, trying to muster some energy.
    “Oh Cai, you should have told me. I would have understood, and may have been able to help. You have always looked out for me, it’s time I returned the favor.”
    “I didn’t want to ruin your mating ceremony, and before that you had enough on your plate and didn’t need my crap. Besides, what could you do? I need to figure out why I am drawn to him and what to do about it. I still love John, yet am unable to deny wanting Jace. And, now I feel this connection to Jace, making matters more difficult.”
    “Your life isn’t crap, and you are my sister. I will always be here for you no matter what is going on. And you’d be surprised at how much I understand what you are going through. I mean, I loved Dalton and made a vow to him for life, and never thought there would be another for me. Yet after he was killed, I found myself yearning for…” Elsie trailed off, her eyes going saucer-wide as she put her fingers over her gaping mouth.
    Cailyn’s gut clenched with fear. She wasn’t sure she wanted to know what her sister was thinking right then. “I wonder if you could be Jace’s Fated Mate. It sure sounds like how I felt with Zander.”
    Cailyn felt the blood drain from her body. She couldn’t be this man’s mate. She lived in San Francisco, and loved another man, despite what she was feeling right now. “I can’t be. How would I know? How did you find out?”
    “Fated Mates find out when they have sex with one another. There isn’t another way that I know of. I
