***Author's Note: Okay I've been really inconsistent lately with updates, my dad came to town, and we went fishing. Thanks for hanging in there for me. Happy Reading***
ODETTE'S POV:
My heart was pounding; my head was spinning. All the euphoria I had just been feeling was ruined, utterly destroyed.
"Mate" he growled deeply at me.
I couldn't believe he used the mate word so casually like the word carried no weight. Vampires had mates too. We just didn't have 'fated' ones like the goddess gave wolves. We had chosen mates. My mom and dad are chosen mates. A marriage for a vampire is for life, only a select few vampires have ever left their mates. The bond we develop is just as strong as the fated one's shifters are blessed with. If he thinks I don't know the weight his words carry, he's sorely mistaken.
