We were chosen. I’m not sure if they teach the difference in school or not.” “Yeah, there are true fated mates which are the ones that people believe the Moon Goddess pair together like the twin Alphas and Heather. Then there are fated mates like Quinn and Meg who more or less choose each other but that choice can be influenced by the Goddess. Then there are chosen mates. They are people for some reason mostly because the female gets pregnant or

“And if that happens, Captain Rook will have to decide whether he wants to keep his job.” That image, Rook as a door with teeth, should comfort me.

Not the pack bedtime, story version.” I shift in my chair. “I know what mates are.” Melody gives me a look that says I absolutely do not. “There are fated mates,” she says, “and there are chosen mates.”

like a tattoo? He laughs. No, silly, it's a mating ritual, usually with a fated mate. But I found you to be that mate. Fated mates are rare for us.

“Unfortunately, he and his fated mate died three years ago in a rogue attack. He left everything in the pack to you should you shift in adulthood—if you didn’t shift, you’d only get the money. But lucky for me…” His eyes glimmered and his lips curved into a faint smile. “I just so happened to walk in on your first shift.” I shook my head and rubbed my hands over my face, struggling to make sense of all this. “Fated mate. Rogues. Shifts. None of this makes any sense to me. What’s a fated mate?” Ethan looked almost amused as he explained, “It’s when a wolf is soul-bound to another. Some believe it’s a simple biological drive creating a hormonal thread between two individuals. Others believe it

There was something between us, something I didn’t understand and was afraid to confront. Kaivan took my hand in his, his touch warm and grounding. “In our world,” he said slowly, carefully, “there’s a concept called ‘fated mates.’ It’s more than just love, more than attraction. It’s a bond that’s written in the stars, preordained by forces far beyond our control.” I blinked, trying to wrap my mind around what he was saying. “Fated mates?” “Yes.” His grip on my hand tightened slightly, as if he were afraid I might pull away. “It means that you and I… we were meant to be together. It’s a connection that’s unbreakable, a bond that ties our souls together.”
