It was said that long ago the Goddess designed the Bonds to unite those of kindred souls. The fated bonds of lovers is stronger than anything in the realm, unbreakable by even the Gods themselves. But we mortal creatures, regardless of how long we live, were gifted the will to decide our own fates. We can choose to accept the gift of the Goddess, or reject it. I never thought I wanted a mate. Seeing my father become the shell of the warrior he was after my mother died, I swore I would reject any bonded mate rather than face the heartbreak of losing my soul if they died.... The Goddess was most cruel in her punishment for my arrogance. When I arrived to Lycan Warrior College, I discovered that I did not have one fated bond... I had six. May the Goddess have mercy on my soul.
