Temporary Mates Novels & Stories

I tell her gently as I place the salve on her burned cheek. “They have not mated her yet,” she whispered as a tear slid down her cheek. Smiling at her, I keep my voice calm. “That does not make a difference. She is still their mate. Their shared mate. Do you know how rare that is? Dragons are not known for sharing. Certainly not a Wyrmleader.” “I thought that they would claim me…” “They are searching for the one that bares their shared mark,” I tell her. “They just do not know that they have already found her.”

Devon I knew something was wrong when Tyler walked in and asked if he could talk to the two of us. Nate told him, yes, and he sat down. I could see him trying to figure out how to explain to us what was bothering him. When he finally explained everything, I had no idea what to say. Neither Nate nor I had heard of anyone having two mates besides identical twin shifters. “Did either of you get jealous of the other?” Tyler asked.

he caressed my bottom lip, and leaned in to seal his lips with mine. My heart skipped and raced in my chest from his words but I couldn’t say them back. Luckily for me, his mom appeared in the doorway to tell us the whole of the pack was waiting for us in the woods already. It was a ritual to hold the mating ceremony in the middle of the woods, with the werewolves gathered in a large circle, around the two mates as they howled their vows but in this case, we’d be saying them.

She had called but no response came. His chest heaved up and down. "Not them please". He had whispered. "Who?" She had asked softly, placing her hand on his shoulder. "Mates". He whispered. It had hit her like a bombshell. Her brother didn't say 'mate', he said 'mates'. Plural and not singular. She was yet to find her mate but she knew the whole drill. If you were a guy and turns out to be mated to a twin, you won't be mated to only one but the both of them, if you're a female twin, you and your twin sister would be mated to the same guy. As a twin guy, you are both mated to one girl. The girl in turn is mated to both of you. She always wondered how it went for male and female twins.

She smiles reassuringly. I am nervous about my mate. Actually, I am also thinking about not having a mate. I can't transform into a werewolf so there is a possibility that I don't have a mate. And I know if I will have a mate he will reject me as his mate. I felt a sudden needle in my chest. It hurts, the reality is so painful for me.

Tempe offers. “This could work,” Sebastian thinks about it. “Then, we formally reject each other at the same time,” Tempe offers. “Right, then we both get a second chance,” Sebastian nods at the one loophole in rejection. If done in a formal ceremony jointly, both mates get second chances. “I just hope our second chances come quick,” Temperance huffs. “Yeah, because right after, you and me are fighting for Alpha,” Sebastian laughs. “And I will beat you without mercy,” Tempe steps closer to him. “Do we have a deal?”

Because the emperor was still young enough to have another round of offspring with her. “None of this makes sense. Supposedly, George’s mother, if this is true, was my father’s fated life partner. How can this woman be?” “There are second change life mates among wolf shifters. We also have triad matings, where there are three equal partners. Two males to one female. Or two females to one male. Usually, the single sex chooses one or the other and rejects the other partner. In recent years, I’ve heard of some accepting of both partners. So, who can tell if that is something that can happen for your people?”

But I had pretended I didn’t smell it that day, not wanting to think about the fact that Raiden had the same effect on her as I did. Sharing. That’s what Suzie had said. And while I knew deep down Raiden would never share a woman, I had looked into throuples as they were called. Suzie had been right; there had been a few instances throughout history where men shared a mate. Most of the time it was a chosen mate. Usually because one of them had lost a mate. There was one instance where one woman was mated to twins. But never was one of the people in the relationship an alpha. Alphas don’t share.

He took a deep breath, and another big gulp of his beer. “I don’t know what the weapons had or how they worked, but they stopped everyone from being able to shift and feel their wolves. Mate bonds are there, but most mates are same-sex couples. Pups have been few in the past years, so our numbers have been dwindling.”, Adam said. He reached for his bottle of beer again.

the bartender stammered, quickly looking away. Kade leaned forward, his voice dropping dangerously. “You’re here to serve, not stare. Do your job.” The bartender nodded hastily, rushing off. Kade leaned back, satisfaction clear. “No one gets too close to what’s mine.” Dax leaned closer, his voice softer. “Zara, you seem quiet. Something on your mind?” I laughed softly. “Just adjusting to this whole ‘four mates’ thing. It’s… a lot.” Ryker smirked teasingly. “A lot? Zara, you’re handling it better than fine.”
