Temporary Mates Novels & Stories

he murmured, all smiles like an infant's. "And you are mine," I whispered back. Durmas continued the ritual, his chants sealing the sacred bond between us. When he finally declared us mated, the room erupted into cheers, warriors howling in celebration. Kane wasted no time. He pulled me against him, crashing his lips to mine. The world faded, the noise drowned out by the persistent racing of my heart. Hours later, the ceremony came to an end. The cheers, the vows, the solemnity of the rituals, it all felt like a beautiful dream.

"I'm so sorry it happened." "It was a long time ago." I stare down at the book. "I'll get started on it." "You'll discover a lot about yourself, but if you'd like, we can discuss a few things now. One thing that relates to your current situation is that when a Nocturn finds a mate, that's it. That person is the only mate they'll ever have. Second-chance mates don't exist for you, Aria." For some reason, this pains me. After the rejection from Ryder, I'll never have a mate again. "Oh."

"The bond. It's not permanent. I have to choose. One of you. Before the baby is born. Or we all die." Silence. Then Kieran says, "That's not possible." "It is. She explained it. Triple bonds are temporary. Always have been. I have four months to decide. Then I choose one. And the other two..." I can't finish. Can't say it. "No." Damon's shaking his head. "No. We completed the bond. We're mated. All of us." "We completed the temporary bond. But to make it permanent, I have to choose." Tears won't stop falling. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry."

"So this mate, does it have to be a demon...er...demoness?" "We do not share the same trepidation's as humans do regarding sexuality. A mate can be either male or female, and of any species." "So it has to do with power? You don't mate for love?" "Not always, it can be for convenience or political gain." "Well that kind of sucks," she blurted. "Why do you say that?" he asked. He almost sounded amused. She shrugged. "Well the bond is eternal right? You're stuck with each other."

"Drawn to him? Like how?" "Like she feels him. Like she knows him. Like she's been waiting for him." I shook my head. "I don't understand it. We're not mates. We don't feel the mate bond. But there's something there. Something I can't explain." Sarah was quiet for a long moment and when she spoke her voice sounded like pain. "That only happens between fated mates, and that's rare," she swallowed. "That's how I felt with my ex-mate." Her jaw tightened. "Before he rejected me and disappeared."

she adds, with clear irritation at her brother. I think for a little while longer, sorting the words out. “Werewolves have soul mates,” I eventually explain. “Normally both Mates are werewolves, but sometimes one of them is human. If they both accept each other, and Bond, they can feel what their Mate is feeling.” “I always know where he is,” Sarah adds. “Until… I couldn’t feel him any more. But he’s back now.” “Mates are for life,” I conclude. “It’s more than just girlfriend and boyfriend, or even husband and wife.”

"Hours you would love for me to recount to you." John accepted the statement with a nod, "I would love that. I think we should make use of this time to clean up however as we will likely be pressed into more service today. Registration may have issues for some Zen. What will happen if an actual mating unit tries to register as 'married'?" Humans only allowed two participants in a marriage union; Zen mating units were typically made up of one female with three to five male partners to increase their chances of conception.

"I'm just telling the truth. You keep my heart fall for you everyday." "Whatever," her beloved mumbled. It's true. He keep on falling for her everyday. He didn't know why but he truly loves her more than himself, making him confused sometimes. That desire, affection, and lust he was feeling was supposedly for his mate. But he didn't know why he keep on experiencing that kind of matters toward her. Sometimes, he was thinking that may be Maia is really his mate. There was an article saying that multiple mates was possible and it once happened twenty decades ago. So, the thought about her beloved have two mates keep on bragging his mind.

she laughs, jumping down off my mattress, which was sideways. "You know there are nicer ways to wake people up" I say, getting up off the floor rubbing my arm, I look down to see it was red, fantastic! it's gonna bruise a day before my birthday! I turn 16 tomorrow, everyone is so happy for me but I don't really know how to feel. For those of you who don't know, when a werewolf turns 16 they shift for the first time, which means they're able to find their mate.

He sat as the maid served him tea. "So it's possible that a person can have two mates?" I asked him the same question as he contemplated for a second before clearing his throat. "I don't know much about it but it's said that when someone's mate is dead or you reject your mate then Luna changes the cycle and sometimes cycle's order becomes disoriented. So according to that you can have two mates I suppose." He took the sip of his tea as Vermin's words rang in my ears. "Because of the heat between your legs."
