Novel & Cerita Marked

I wasn't sure if Chris was too busy taking care of Kaia to see my message or if he simply didn't want to sever our mate bond. Either way, I didn't receive a reply from him all day. Not that I needed his consent. If he refused to show up on the next full moon, Lucian could forcibly reject him on my behalf.

"Yeah, mate mark!" Daniel took her hands in his and gently squeezed them. "Mate mark is a label that indicates you already have someone you love and that you belong to him/her. Mate mark also functions as a strength and weakness indicator for your mate.

So that’s what we’re doing here so early.” His eyes hadn’t left mine while he had been talking. “Buzz, did you manage to find out who sent the email to Bella?” “Nothing yet, the person who sent it used three different towers to bounce off, I can’t get a location from where it was sent. He used a cell phone to send it, I have the IP address so as soon as it is switched on, I can try and find a location.

It was then she began realizing they were so many tankers dumped around the beach and it was up to her to find the red one. Dale searched around crawling close to tankers checking its colour and at the same time, hiding herself from being caught by the men who were obviously gang members on a smoking contest and chattering.
