Magic Academy: Finding My Mate
"Thank you, but I need more time to swallow down this pill. Hayden is a vampire, and our parents are friends. I was named after Hayden's second dad, which is a bit screwed up."
I laugh. "That is a bit fucked up in case the two of you decide to give true love a chance."
"True love, huh?"
"Yes," I tell him, entirely severely. "The mate-bond is sacred, Blake. You can't fight it without tearing yourself apart."
Blake sighs. "If we make it through this war alive, then I will tell Hayden that I'm open to giving us a chance," a blush covers Blake's face. It's weird seeing the tall, muscle guy shy. It's oddly sweet, though. "But please don't tell him we had this conversation."
