He's finally found his fated mate.and she's dying. JulianI've watched all of my friends find their fated mates, and now I'm ready to find mine. I like to plan everything out, to prepare for anything, and I finally feel ready. I have a home, a good job, friends, and a strong community. Everything is perfect. I dream of finding my mate and living happily ever after. Then I find her, and I realize that I waited too long.
She's dying. I can save her with a single bite, but doing so would force the mating bond, stealing her choice. For the first time in my life, I don't have a plan. All I know is that losing her isn't an option. RidleyI've been wandering around the woods for days. I'm delirious, dehydrated, and starving. When my body finally gives out, I wonder if anyone will ever find me. Then I wake up. I don't know where I am or how I got here.
I only know there's a strange bite mark on my neck. and a man named Julian watching me like his world depends on it. He says he saved my life, but he's hiding something. And until I know the truth, I'm not sure who-or what-I can trust.
