Callum’s POV We made our way to our mates’ home. The car was filled with tension the entire way there. I was a mixture between sad, frustrated, and pissed off. My brothers and I still haven’t even really gotten a chance to even introduce ourselves to our mate because she passed out from panic then woke up and left. I honestly don’t know what to think. The mate bond has always been weird for me. Though Cade had saved himself for our mate, I wasn’t strong enough to do that. I honestly never thought I wanted a mate. Given how frustrating it has been after having just found her, I’m not sure how I feel about it. I feel like our kind romanticizes the bond too much. Yes, it is wonderful meeting someone that is destined for you, but it is like the Goddess takes away our choices, our freewill.
