As Eva entered the house, her mind was in turmoil, the weight of Akuna's cryptic statement settling upon her like a dark cloud.
"Not the only Sinclairs!" she thought to herself, her emotions ranging from anger to shock and everything in between.
If Akuna had spoken those words, they had to hold a degree of truth.
She was the companion of a soul keeper, privy to knowledge that they, especially Eva, had been kept in the dark about.
What troubled Eva the most was the revelation that they weren't alone in bearing the Sinclair name.
She and Xylon had grown up together, sharing an unbreakable bond, yet this secret had been hidden from them.
The idea of having a larger family, a network of relatives, had always been a warm and inviting thought in her mind.
She felt cheated out of the knowledge that could have connected her to more people bearing the same name and potentially offering her a sense of belonging she had longed for.
