Ever since we were children, my brother Adrian has had prophetic dreams.
When he was ten, he dreamed I would become the mate of my childhood sweetheart, Julian, and live a long, happy life.
My younger sister, Evelyn, however, would be sent north to marry a man with crippled legs. She would be caught in a rebellion that swept through the kingdom, and there wouldn’t be enough of her left to bury.
From that day forward, anything good Adrian got his hands on went to Evelyn first.
By the time we were adults, even my engagement had become a bargaining chip to protect her.
“You’re both my sisters,” he’d said. “I have to be fair.”
He sealed two metal rods of different lengths inside identical black tubes and made Evelyn and me draw for it.
Whoever drew the longer one would marry Julian.
I refused and went straight to Julian.
When Julian learned the truth, he nearly came to blows with Adrian.
“You’ll sacrifice Camille just to save Evelyn?”
That was the final break between Adrian and me.
But in the third year of my marriage, Evelyn still ended up marrying that crippled man—and dying in the rebellion.
Not long after her death, I was kidnapped by a group of rogues.
Adrian saw them take me, clear as day, yet he refused to tell Julian which way they had gone.
Julian and the Greymoor Pack Guards searched all night before they finally rescued me.
But when the rogues attacked again, he died protecting me.
In his last moments, he wouldn’t even look at me.
“Camille, I regret it.”
“If Evelyn had been the one to marry me… would things have turned out differently?”
Only then did I understand. He had always carried the guilt of Evelyn’s death.
He believed that by choosing me, he had stolen her only chance at survival.
So when I opened my eyes again and found myself back on the day of the drawing, I didn’t hesitate. I snatched one of the tubes from Adrian’s hand.
