Mating In Captivity Indigo Novels & Stories

For that reason, we had to reroute the run tonight so it would not pass anywhere near where Marcia lived as well as the area where the unmated female was placed for tonight. The first day the camp commenced, there were three pairs that recognized themselves as fated mates. Two had already claimed and marked each other, while one pair was still testing the waters, but as they both said, they might claim each other tonight. The two pairs that were marked and mated were given a separate room within the camp as this would be their first full moon together, while the unmarked female and her mate were placed in an isolated cabin, far from the rest, and their area was off limits to anyone tonight.

Gana pouted. "I don't think that's our business, right?" I said, and Gana rolled her eyes, and we all laughed at her words. "What if someone like him is your mate?" Jess laughed, pointing at me. "HE ISN'T! You know I can't find a mate here; you know that." "The chance of us finding our mate is about eighty-seven percent, so why do you think you wouldn't get yours?" Gana asked. "Can we not talk about it?" I knew they were talking with me because of Jess, and I didn't want them to look down on me even more.

“You two finally mated!” Dreg grunted while shooting a glare at Levion who had on a smug expression. They chatted for a little while longer before a medic came in for the final check up and she was discharged immediately. Throughout the past two days that Ilena was unconscious for, Dreg and Levion were busy inspecting the boarders and tightening security. No one is allowed to enter through the boarder gates unless they have verified papers of identification. Mated females who went through the mating season are starting to see signs of a successful breeding. Excitement bubbled in the air between mated females as the general check up day was in a few days.

Myrrak came and sat down beside her, arranging himself so they were both facing the magnificent moon together. In front of them on the floor was the round basket that had been specially prepared for the blood mixing ritual. This was considered the most important and sacred part of any mating ceremony, where the two people getting mated would each cut their own palms with a ceremonial knife and let their blood drip down into the basket together. When their blood mixed and combined in the basket, it would create an unbreakable mate bond between them that would last for their entire lives.

“Our mate… he’s here.” My entire body froze at her words, our mate? I didn’t have a mate. How could that have been possible? “I can sense him… he’s here…” she said again. It must have been because of the cure; one of the side effects of the medication that turned me into an Alpha was that I couldn’t sense my mate. But now that we were cured, I’m guessing we can sense. him. Has my mate seriously been here this entire time? My heart weighed heavily in my chest; Landry’s scent grew stronger and as soon as I heard Julia’s gasp, I turned to face him.

Diana asked. He was surprised by her questions and didn’t bother to hide the fact. "Yes, of the sort. But way more bound, more intense, and bearing offspring would be hard; some took centuries and dozens of failures for that matter. Yet, the importance of the mate bond was,” he said. He could not bring himself to tell her. Instead, his silence and the look of dread on his face spoke loudly. She nodded her head in understanding. “Would you let us try for offspring, Andrew?”

I yell. “Rumors or no rumors, we’re supposed to have mated and marked each other by now, Aria. So I don’t see any problem with the mating ceremony,” he says. I know he was right; I think we’ve broken the record for the first mates to spend more than a week together but still haven’t done anything to strengthen the bond. From the stories I’ve heard back in Moon Waters, most mates mark each other on the spot after recognizing each other and mate within the first week.

I had never experienced anything like it before. “It happens,” he said suddenly as if reading my mind. “After the marking, things can get a little… intense. It is hard for mates to be away from each other. Most times you’ll see newly mated couples locked in for weeks.” “Why can’t we be locked in for weeks?” “We will,” he assured me. “I just want us to do that in our own home. I don’t want any memories of her tainting what we have.”

But since none of this was real, there was no cause for me to be embarrassed and I was curious to see just how crazy my imagination was. He waited for a beat, still studying me oddly and then continued, "Because it holds power. Once the mated pairs have it on their skin, they will copulate and be able to conceive pups- even without the females being in heat." "Oh that's nice," I murmured under my breath. The Alpha's brows rose even higher. Any more, and they'd get lost in his hairline. He gently took my hand in his. "So you're okay with this?" Tingles shot through my body at his touch, startling me into perfect awareness again.

"You got her looks, don't complain too much." "Or you just have a type." "What?" he chuckled. "Can you blame a man for liking royal, redheaded runts?" “Oh, that’s right,” I mused. “Mom was a runt, too. Do you think she really had a mate out there she wasn’t able to be with?” Isaac was quiet. For a moment, I thought he wouldn’t respond. “Would you be willing to submit a blood sample?” he finally asked. “Supposedly, there are genetic indicators if you are from a mated pair.”
