Chapter Thirteen

While they waited for the sun to set, Bell talked to Kelly about being beloveds and what it meant for their future together.

She sat next to him on the couch, and he took her hand, bringing it to his lips for a kiss across her knuckles. “How are you feeling now that you’re immortal? Now that you have a vampire for a mate?”

“I don’t feel any different, except that I’ve got your lifetime of memories mixed in with mine. It’s pretty fascinating, although I could have done without seeing the women you’ve slept with in the past.”

He grimaced. He hadn’t particularly cared to see her romantic history either. It made him want to find those males and kill them simply for having seen his beautiful beloved naked. “I’m sorry you had to see that, but I honestly wasn’t sure what it would be like for us to share memories. There isn’t a whole lot that’s known about beloveds because until Brone and Arissa mated, no one had heard of beloveds bonding together for centuries. It was more myth than anything.”

“Why is that?”

He shrugged. “Who knows? There aren’t rules when it comes to some supernatural occurrences and it’s possible that vampires are choosing to turn a human rather than wait for their beloved, especially when no one really expected there to ever be beloveds. Brone was a thousand years old before he met Arissa.”

“Holy shit!”

“Yeah, right? He’s one of the oldest vamps in the states. You’ll meet him at some point, he’s the head of security for the coven and family.”

“Do I smell different?” she asked.

“What do you mean?”

“I mean, will vampires know I’m not human anymore or will they try to feed from me?”

His fangs throbbed in his gums as an unholy snarl rippled through him. “No one will touch you.”

Her mouth dropped open and then she smiled. “You’re so sexy. All possessive and protective.”

He shook his head to dispel the fury at the suggestion that anyone would try to touch his beloved. It was a hypothetical question, anyway. “First, vampires can smell when a person is mated, whether they’re vampire, shifter, or human. In your case, when we became beloveds, not only do we both have mating marks, but we both smell mated. It’s like a signature cologne—you smell like me and I smell like you. For another vampire, that scent is a turn off. Shifters can also smell when a person is mated. But humans can’t.”

“Right, because our senses aren’t as strong.”

He nodded. “On the scale of scenting abilities, humans are very low on the totem pole. With eyesight as well.”

“Plus speed and strength,” she added.

He smiled. “I feel so close to you, sweetheart. Becoming beloveds makes me feel like we’ve been together our whole lives, not just a few days.”

“Me too. It’s amazing.” She laid her head on the couch and gave him a sad smile. “The only thing that I think about is Selma being mortal. It’s hard to imagine never aging while she does. I mean, she’s my little sister.
