I remember learning about mates in school. They told us how the Moon Goddess took a soul, and split it in half. Creating soulmates. Your other half.
I remember asking my mother about it. She told me how you find them after you have your first shift. Your wolf knows immediately, and tells you. She told me how you instantly fall in love with your other half. At the time I was grossed out.
What ten year old boy wouldn't be?
After Ryce told me about his mystery wolf, and how he thought she could be his mate I started to ponder more about mates. I asked around to see how everyone felt about the mate bond.
Coming to the conclusion that I wanted to wait for my mate wasn't hard. We were told it was best for everyone to wait. They told us that it can be extremely rewarding. So, I waited.
