“Why is there a target on your back?” | focus on the most important thing he said, not understanding. | thought
the point of him markingwas that we were no longer going to be chased.
“I killed that Alpha and I'm pretty sure | killed either his Beta or his Gamma. Then | had the nerve to mark the
Guardian that they had been chasing for a week. The only way they can get to you now, is through me, by killing
a,
“Do you think they are following us?” | ask. I'm so tired of running-
“No, not really. | think they will have gone back to their pack by now to regroup, but | don’t want to linger now
that you are awake. As soon as you feel ready to travel again, we're going to keep heading east.”
“Where exactly are we, anyway?”
“We're probably about a day’s bus ride to the Mississippi border. From there, it will still be a few days until we get
to North Georgia, which is our final destination. | think we're safe to stop each night if you want, or we can push
through. Again, | know this has been hard on you and | want to help make it as easy as possible now.”
| finish eating, stuffed for the first tin a long time. “Can | sleep on it? We can move tomorrow but honestly, |
think I'd like a real bed at least one more night. From there, I'll have a better idea of how I'm feeling.”

“Of course, whatever you need.”

“Right now, what | need is a shower.” | say standing up. | start to walk to the bathroom and stop. “What did you
mean earlier that you could feel m confusion through the bond?”
He looks ata minute before responding. “I marked you. That means that | can now feel your emotions and |
can also hear you when you speak in your head, unless you blockout.”
| turn to fully look at him. He can feel my emotions and hear the voice in my head?
He’s nodding. “Yes, | can hear the voice in your head. Currently, it's very loud. ” He says smiling.
“How?”
“I marked you. Didn't your parents ever explain the mind link process?”
“Well, yes, but that was because they were part of a pack. You and | aren't part of a pack.” | say, starting to freak
out a little.
Ell stands and comes to me, putting his hands on my arms. “It’s the swith a mated couple. | can feel your
emotions and hear you even though we don’t have a pack. It's a family bond. When you and your mother left
your pack, you would have been able to continue to mind link her if you'd had your wolf.”
“Then why can’t | feel or hear you?”
“You haven't marked me. When you do, you'll feel my emotions and hear my thoughts.”
“So, | need to mark you?”
He looks atintently. “If you mark me, it will increase our bond. You are already feeling a stronger bond
toward me. If you mark me, it will beceven stronger. If you are ready for that, | am happy to let you mark
me, but you need to understand what you are doing before you do it.”
“So, if I mark you, I'll be able to feel your emotions and hear your thoughts, and it will also make our bond
stronger?”
“Yes.”
“I'd like to think about that before I do it then.”
“Of course. And when you're ready, when you truly acceptas your mate, we will mate and mark each other
in our human form. Then, we will have completed the mating and marking process and our bond will be
unbreakable.”
“It’s not unbreakable now?”

“I have marked you. You haven't marked me, and we haven't mated, so it’s not a fully formed bond. It’s basically
one-sided. If you died, it would most likely kill me. | can hear your thoughts and feel your emotions. If something
were to happen to me, you'd probably feel intense sadness, but it wouldn't kill you.”
“That doesn’t seem very fair to you. You're taking all the burden.”
“You're worth it to me. | never expected to be given a fated mate. So, for me, I'm willing to take the risk until you
trustenough to complete this bond with me. | lift my face to his and kiss him softly. “Thank you. For saving
me, for keeping.safe and for your patience. | may not be ready to fully trust you yet, but it means a lot to me
that you care enough aboutto do all of this for me.”
“You're my mate. | love you, unconditionally. Hopefully, one day, you'll feel the
