Chapter Eleven

Nya sipped her coffee before answering carefully. She needed a moment to think about how she should phrase her response. Last night was great and all, but she didn’t want to be a burden on them. “It means that I don’t expect anything from you guys just because we had sex. I’ve seen enough to know how the world works, and to accept the fact that while it was fun, that’s all it can ever be. Just one night. Besides, there’s no way my mother will let me stay in the human realm, especially after our little run in with her.”

Tad and Taavi stared at her, their mouths agape. Had she said something wrong? She scrambled, trying to come up with something else to say. “Maybe if I accept my fate sooner the punishment won’t be as bad. At least I can hope.”

Taavi cleared his throat before speaking. “Nya, you are our mate. Do you understand what that means?”

“Not really. It’s something I’ve heard you guys say a couple of times, but that’s about it. Anyway, this doesn’t have to be awkward, and we can still be friends, but it’s probably for the best if I just leave. You guys can have anyone you want. There’s nothing special about me, and I certainly don’t look like your type.”

“What you mean by that?” Tad asked. “I didn’t know we had a type.” He looked at Taavi for an answer.

Nya debated internally for a moment, trying to decide whether she should tell them about the woman she had seen them with. “The first time I stumbled across you, the two of you were making love to a beautiful redhead in the woods. She was muscular and tall, and drop-dead gorgeous. All the things I’ll never be.” Nya dipped her head in shame.

“You are beautiful and curvy. There isn’t a single thing I would change about you, and I’m positive that Taavi would agree.”

Nya’s smile was slight and failed to reach her eyes. Goddess, how she wanted to believe his words! But it was hard to hear anything of the sort. Not after the ones that her family had pounded into her head, telling her she would always be the ugly duckling. Or her personal favorite, ‘you could be so pretty if you’d just lose a few pounds.’

“Tad’s right, you know. You are beautiful, but more than that—you are ours. Being a mate isn’t just sleeping together and saying goodbye. It’s life, love, and commitment. It means that no matter what happens in life, good or bad, we’ll be by your side. Always.”

“I don’t understand. How can you know that when we’ve only just met?”

Tad grabbed his coffee and pulled up a chair next to Nya. “You know we’re wolf shifters, right?”

Nya nodded. “Yes.”

“Well, wolves are designed a bit differently. They have one true mate,” Tad began to explain.

“One person who the Fates decided they are destined to spend the rest of their lives with,” Taavi added.

Tad continued. “When our wolf senses his mate, there isn’t anything or anyone that can stop him from claiming her.
