Layla poked her head up, Mate? You said he lost his and it nearly killed him.That's impossible." "No, Layla, our ancestors heal our hearts and standby and when we are ready, they bless us with a second chance mate.You are his, kitten. He knows it, trust me, just give him some time." Layla stood up, pacing the floor, finally turning to her new friend, "But what if I don't want a mate Lacey, I'm a jaguar for god's sakes, how is that even supposed to work. What would I have, whittens or colves?" "Good point, but that won't happen, you would have both, and with your special powers, when the alpha marks you, you will have his blood and that awesome connection, but you won't change.Please don't leave, Layla, we may not be your blood family, but you are our adopted family.
