บท 128: Scared II

Zen stared relentlessly, the watchful eyes of a predator. Caitlin twisted her fingers together in agitation. He looked a stranger, an invincible being with no real emotion, only a hard resolve and a killer's instincts. She cleared her throat. "You needed me."

I had no thought but to feed. My body recognized yours before my mind did.

"I don't understand."

Once I recognized you as my lifemate, my first thought was to punish you for leaving me in torment, then bind you to me for eternity.

There was no apology, only a waiting.

She sensed danger, but she did not back down. "How did you bind me to you?"

The exchange of our blood.

Her heart slammed painfully. "What does that mean, exactly?"

The blood bond is strong. I am in your mind, as you are in mine. It is impossible for us to lie to one another. I feel your emotions and know your thoughts as you do mine.
