Mated to the Cursed Alpha
"Moon Goddess above, witness the mingling of blood, the combining of souls. If they are true Mates, grant them your blessing."
The runes on the scroll suddenly burst with a dazzling light. The blood turned silver, forming a perfect circle.
"The Moon Goddess has proven it! They are true Mates!"
The crowd cheered. I felt a warmth I'd never known spread from my heart, like I'd finally found where I belonged.
Harris stared at me, the fire in his eyes brighter than ever. "Do you feel it?"
"Yes. It's like… finding the missing half of myself."
"That's the Mate bond. From this day on, our lives will be forever intertwined."
