“Please, let me explain… Dan, don’t blame Indie….” Lilah said, ” she begged me not to go, did everything she could to try to stop it, so I had arranged it behind her back, she found out at the last minute and forced me to let her come to try to keep me safe. She didn’t know that the stuff I was getting would block me finding my mate. Like I said guys I know you will be angry…”

“Lilah they are fucking witches, they are renowned for doing serious harm to us!” Manuel said, frustration clear in his voice “they could seriously have hurt you!!!”

“I know. And looking back I know I was stupid. I was desperate, I was in so much pain. I asked her to stop the pain, stop me feeling love….”

“You are a fucking idiot” Dan angrily spat out, “you put yourself and your friend at risk over a fucking teenage crush! I know that pack of yours is fucked up but surely you were taught witches are not to be

messed with?! I could have lost my mate because of you!”

“Wind your neck in Dan!” I boom, seeing Lilah sobbing, and Indie too. ” Lilah has explained all this to me, no I don’t agree with the witchcraft, of course I don’t, but there is a lot more to it than that. This situation is more complex… she was young, she was desperate, and in pain, she didn’t know what to do and thought this would help, she made a mistake…. Yeh it could have had dire consequences but thankfully it didn’t, seems the witch they found was a decent one”

“No such thing…” Jake muttered.

“Look you need to get over this, I have. Its me that it effects…” I pause, I see the guys look to me, confusion evident on their faces now, interlaced with the irritation Lilah had been naïve enough to

mix with witches…

“this stuff the witch gave her to take away the ability to love also meant she lost the ability to sense her mate…” I explain.

The shock on their faces was now apparent…

“Why would you want something to do that?” Manuel asked her softly.

“I didn’t think at the time. I was 16. I simply thought no love, no pain. If I don’t feel love I can’t be hurt…. I agreed. I didn’t want…. I don’t want a mate….” She looked down biting her lip.

“Wait? You don’t want a mate? Even now? Somewhere out there angel is a man meant for you, the

moon goddess looked and decided who would be perfect for you… someone who could love you just right…. Protect you…. Make you happy…. And for you to do the same for him….. he’ll be out there missing you Lilah and you don’t even know it…” Manuel whispered gently to her, what he’d said had brought a tear to her eyes, and to be honest mine too.

“But if I let him love me I let myself get hurt….or what if I am not perfect for him?” she looks desperately to Manuel, I can hear the tears in her voice, Manuel is suddenly on his knees in front of her, holding her hands.

“Just because you were hurt before doesn’t mean you will be hurt again Bonita, love with Logan was the not the same that you will feel with your mate I can promise you that. He was not fated for you mi amor, Selene did not select him as the one meant to accompany you through life, to hold your hand, to light up that face of yours with your beautiful smile Chica. And trust me you will be his vision of perfection mi cielo, how could you not be? Do you look in a mirror? Do you not see the way you capture people’s attention when you speak? Your mate is out there missing you Lilah, he will be desperate to meet you….” It always made me smile hearing Manuel or Gabe speaking throwing in the occasional Spanish word in, usually terms of endearment or curse words, on this occasion I think they were endearment.

I don’t think I could have put it as nice as he did…. How does this guy not do well with the women?!

1 felt Lilah look up at me, her eyes filled with emotion…. I need to explain….

“That’s the thing, her mate isn’t out there Manuel…” I began…

“Oh!” he gasped “Lilah no, has he…” he began, I assume he thought I meant he had passed on, so I
