“She’s gorgeous…” I murmured.
I saw her, I smelled her, and I didn’t know it was possible, but I adored her even more.
However, my wolf didn’t recognize her.
It was a shame that I would never know whether she was my mate for sure, but I tried to persuade myself that it didn’t matter. My love for her wouldn’t change regardless.
However, there was a small voice in my head that wanted to find out the truth. It questioned whether I really should give up the chance of establishing the most magical and unbreakable bond with the woman that meant everything to me.
Ciana looked in my direction. I wondered whether she felt anything different.
“Theo,” my mother’s voice sounded distant but determined. “kneel before the Goddess!”
I shook my head. “No, mother. I know what you’re going to do. You don’t need to restore my mate sense,” I scoffed at myself, “I know, your son is a coward.”
“Theo, look at me,” she ordered, “Trust the Goddess and trust her plan for you two.”
