By sheer, stupid luck, or by a fucking miracle, I knew that bonding between two mates could also be made by blood and not just bite. As the bite bound body and mind, sharing blood was a way to bind souls. It was eternal... Binding her life force to mine.

Ainara is pregnant!” Her words rang out, raw and trembling. “And Andres is the father.”

It went through to her back and her face contorted in pain. “What’s wrong?” The look of worry on James’ face was instant. A warm gush spilled down her legs. They both looked down.

I heard Adams voices in my head through the mind link, and I shook. His voice stirred up all kinds of forbidden emotions in me that I knew I needed to be careful.
