BloodRite: MATE

(reedited 04/02/26) I will keep my previous words but give you guys an update. I had tried signing with this platform with this story and unfortunately I did not feel comfortable with the contract and percentages offered to me. with that in mind I have made many of my stories exclusive to Nook and k****e, so if you enjoy these first few chapters, please find me there and follow me on f*******: for updates and so much more! (Edited 03/23/26) Well, after WAYYYY too long, I give you all the FINAL edit. I also updated it with name pronunciations ♡ Enjoy, and thank you all for being on this journey with me! Below is a book timeline explanation. ALSO, PLEASE REMEMBER THIS STORY IS FOR OUR ADULT READERS ONLY!!! When I first wrote MATE, it was to test out these awesome apps (Dreame & Starry). Unbeknown to me at the time of writing MATE, I was actually writing a sister book to a book I wrote called THIRST. I had written THIRST at 16 & its companion book called TRIAD a couple of years later. Which now would have been almost 2 decades ago. TRIAD is the second in the series. At least originally. Writing MATE made me realize I was writing the origin story of Tala, a character from TRIAD. With MATE being such a strong story and caring so deeply about its characters like Tala, I knew this series deserved more. I reedited all the loose story lines and filled in all the blanks. So now, BOOK 1 – MATE – Standalone BOOK 2 – THIRST – Standalone Book 3 – TRIAD – Follows what happens after the events of both book 1 & book 2. Allowing readers to begin with either book 1 or 2 and still read 3 without reading both 1 & 2 As in ~ You can read MATE and TRIAD without reading THIRST. The same goes for THIRST. You can read THIRST and then TRIAD, and you don’t have to read MATE. THIRST is more Vampyr, MATE is more Werewolf, TRIAD is all of the above and more. Full edit of MATE will be completed by March/29/2026 IMPORTANT PLEASE READ BEFORE MOVING FORWARD ~ DO NOT COPY THIS STORY.
