Yzla stared at her mostly hands curiously. Trying not to shake in excitement as she examined them.
Her older cousins’ words stuck in her head.
“Ah fuck, they’re still red—”
“Looks like Yzzy’s got a soul mate!”
“Ah fuck, they’re still red—”
“Looks like Yzzy’s got a soul mate!”
“Ah fuck, they’re still red—”
“Looks like Yzzy’s got a soul mate!”
“Ah fuck, they’re still red—”
“Looks like Yzzy’s got a soul mate!”
The ponytailed girl couldn’t help but grin.
She had a soul mark. She had a soul mate. And she KNEW who they were! Because only ONE person who wasn’t related to her had touched her hands after she injured them months ago.
“Ah fuck, they’re still red—”
“Looks like Yzzy’s got a soul mate!”
“Ah fuck, they’re still red—”
“Looks like Yzzy’s got a soul mate!”
“Ah fuck, they’re still red—”
“Looks like Yzzy’s got a soul mate!”
“Ah fuck, they’re still red—”
“Looks like Yzzy’s got a soul mate!”
Her hands hurt.
They REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hurt.
“ ¡MAMÁ! ¡MAMÁ, DUELE! ¡MAMÁ AYUDA!” Yzla sobbed heavily, practically heaving as Reza tended to her hands more gently than she ever knew him to be capable of.
“Shhh... Todo estará bien, Yz, sé que duele pero todo estará bien. Tu mamá llegará pronto a casa pero tienes que quedarte quieta para que pueda curarte,” the younger boy whispered, looking sympathetic as a pale Hermie handed him the first aid kit.
Jace and Eddie were cleaning up the glass from the bottle that had exploded in her hands and Harry was off somewhere—presumably trying to find her mother or someone else in her family.
And her hands still really hurt, but…somehow it was more bearable with Reza by her side.
Reza was her soul mate!
She, Yzla Sorcerer of Enchania, was lucky enough to find her soul mark—her other half—on the isle of the lost of all places. And before any of her cousins and brothers had to! And when she was only fifteen, as well!
It was a miracle!
No, even better! It was a dream come true!
She just couldn’t wait to tell everyone!
But first, she had to go tell Reza. This day couldn’t get ANY better!
