Chapter 13

For the rest of the weekend and all of Monday, I kept my head down and my emotions tight to my chest, managing to avoid all three of the men who were currently driving me crazy, even though it made my heart and stomachache. Nightmares plagued my nights and left me exhausted and a little off balance.

I ran my fingers through my hair and pinched my cheeks, hoping it would bring a bit of color to the paleness that plagued me as Emily settled into her seat in class.

"Holy crap, Lexi!" she hissed, looking at me with bright eyes.

I raised my eyebrows, waiting for her to explain, and slid into my seat.

"Seriously?" She laughed. "You're the talk of campus. That scene at the party between Chase and Dimitri—"

She trailed off, waving her hand in the air as if to prompt my memory.

There was no need to prompt anything. Fresh heat surged to my face. I didn't want to talk about that here, or anywhere. I thanked the Old Ones silently, when Dr. Daniels strode into the room and took a seat at the head of the table.

Still, Emily was my friend. If I’d learned anything from chick flicks, it was that girlfriends shared.

So, I leaned closer, keeping my voice low. "Not now. Maybe over coffee after class?"

"Sounds good," Emily said, grinning widely just as Dr. Daniels cleared his throat.

"After the dreariness of Nietzsche and Kant last week, I'm sure you're all eager to move onto this week's topic." His eyes lit up from his enjoyment. "The soul mate bond is at the very foundation of our existence as wolves. In nature, wolves mate for life, which is echoed in the very real bond that is created between mates.”

I'd snapped to attention the moment he'd mentioned soul mates. I'd been spending entirely too much time researching the subject and reading every peer-reviewed article I could find on the university’s library link and the Wolf Net. Mostly, the research was identical, focusing solely upon the male/female, male/male, and female/female bonds that have been documented and studied over time. No matter how hard I'd looked, I hadn’t come across so much as a footnote about a wolf having multiple mates.

“Chemically speaking, the mate bond suffuses the brain with dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins, but on a much higher and more sustainable level than is seen in humans and wolves in love.” He took a sip from his large coffee on his desk before continuing. “Some argue that wolves don’t fall in love, not in the way humans do, because no matter how much we love someone, once we find our mates, that bond is always stronger.”

A blond-haired girl leaned forward, raising her hand to grab Dr. Daniels’ attention before asking, “So, does that mean that a wolf will lose their intense feelings of love for one partner if they meet their mate?”

“Good question,” Dr. Daniels said with a nod of approval. “The case studies you’ll be reading this week show examples of just that.
