Chapter 12: Chapter 12: There is Strength Here

Zale’s POV

(Flashback)

“Do you see now, boy?” I stare agape at the man in front of me.

I hear that the Nakamato pack in Japan is in possession of something that could change the very essence of what we know about mates, but I would have never guessed they could do something like this.

“How is that possible?” I ask as I reach for the stone, but the man in front of me only pulls it further from my reach and places it back onto the pedestal in the middle of the garden-like courtyard.

“Anything is possible if one's will is strong enough to demand it.” The elder looks at me with a strange look. It's the kind of look I should know the meaning of, but my focus and attention are still on the stone he placed down.

“Does it fade?” I ask him, and the man shakes his head.

“No,” he says immediately, “once the connection is made between two wolves, the connection does not fade. It may have been manipulated into existence, but it exists now and may never fade.”
