Zenth wants me more than he wants his True Mate. Woah. I’m not sure what to do with that information. His confession reorganizes everything I know about our friendship.

Not only that, but I’m on The Rose—so there’s a chance I am Zenth’s True Mate. The thought makes my head spin. If I wanted to be anyone’s True Mate, it would be Zenth, especially after learning all these new sides of him tonight. But do I really want to be someone’s True Mate?

A True Mate is a life bond. It’s always there, never goes away. And even if you’re not together, you can’t be too far apart without being in pain. I saw that with Zenth’s older brother Zylas and Dr. Moore. Lydia once told me it’s like there’s a tether between the two of them. It can only stretch so far without being pulled back.

Maybe that’s also why I’ve never been with a Tamzell—I didn’t want to risk finding out that my random hookup is actually my True Mate.

But this isn’t a one-night stand. This is Zenth. My Zeny. I already don’t like being away from him. We do everything together. Maybe it wouldn’t be all that different. Maybe it would be amazing.

But… I’m not sure I’m ready for that.

“What are you thinking?” Zenth asks, tugging on a strand of my hair.

I want to make a joke, be playful, lighten the mood. But I’m too in my head, so I just tell him the truth. “I’m scared.”

His hairless brows pinch together. “Of what?”

The bubbles in the water pop in little clusters, like the bath is deflating. “I could be your True Mate.”

He lifts my chin. “It doesn’t matter. I want you either way.”

“No, Zeny, you don’t understand.” I get out of the tub, suddenly very aware I’m naked, and grab a towel. “I could be your True Mate. This could be it. Forever.”

A frown carves his face as he stands up. “Vera, you already are it for me. I love you. I’ve loved you since we were teenagers. Since I first noticed girls, I only ever really noticed you.”

My head is spinning. This is too much. I don’t regret what we’ve done tonight. I’d hoped getting a room would mean we’d do a lot more. But I can’t have sex with Zenth now. It feels too risky. I’m not ready to be his True Mate, to bind myself to someone in a way that’s stronger than any marriage.

And if I’m not his True Mate… that would break me. He can say it doesn’t matter all he wants when I can still be what he hopes. But what happens once he knows I’m not the one?

I don’t think he could give up on finding his True Mate when he knows she’s this close. He might want me, but he also wants the unique connection of a True Mate. I’m not sure he’d be able to let go of that desire in the long run. Especially not with seven years of temptation, knowing she could be any of the human women on board.
