Lola bit her bottom lip and gave a sharp nod."Right.Those."
"He would change the mated pairs,” Roan continued.“Their bond will change on a biological level."
"You said my DNA wouldn't change," Lola reminded him.
"Well,” he rubbed his chin as he spoke.“Youdidn’ttell me that you and Callon could feel each other."
"Our emotions," she added quickly."We could also feel each other's emotions."
"That changes things,” Roan explained.“Thesemated pairs have the ability to heal one another, they can always find one another, like a biological GPS.”
“ That covers Supernatural Book Class, 103, the Superincumbent Pursuant.A.K.A.Stalker Dude.”
“ Nice,” Maddie held her hand up, and Katy high-fived it.
Katy grinned as if she’d just accomplished something great.“ Gotta rise to the occasion, Mads.”
“ Is there more?”Lola asked and she was actually afraid to know.
“ The males of anErossazzimating, well, the best way I can describe it in human terms, is when separated from their mates their animal becomes a berserker."
"Like we're talking maniacal?"Katy asked.
"Not evil, per se," Roan said carefully."But dangerous.To anyone.And everyone."
"Like, kill a baby, dangerous?"Maddie asked."Because we're going to have to draw a line in the sand at that part of our relationship."
"Agreed," Katy nodded."There has to be boundaries in this arrangement or it will never work."
"You two do realize that you aren't included in the pairing of Lola and Callon," Bane asked.
It was a fair question considering her two best friends were possibly certifiably insane.
"There's more," Roan continued.
"Naturally," Lola mumbled."Does he have to bite me in order to complete some ritual?"
"Oh good question.That brings us to Supernatural Book Class, 104."Katy snapped her fingers."I should have totally asked that one."
"What you and Callon do in the privacy of your own room is between you.Biting or otherwise," Roan said, completely straight-faced.
"I'm going to slap you," Lola said, her face heating with the blush she knew was running down her skin to her neck.
“For the last century, our mated pairs have only bore male children.AnErossazzimating can bear males and females."His words were nearly a whisper as he continued.“This is the mercy of our Creator.He heard the cries of our male’s souls and answered our need.In time, finding theanimiwill no longer be our struggle or a battleground for our Kingdom Shifters to wage war over.”
"Called it," Katy whispered softly."Savior to their kind."
"There's some flaws in your theory," Lola said."Callon has been separated from me all day and there's been no reports of some huge, crazy, lion man killing people.In fact, it didn't seem to bother him at all."
“Considering he threatened to kill me if I came near you,” Roan's brow lifted."I'd have to beg to differ."
"And since you didn't listen to me, you, apparently, are ready to spend eternity with Visata."
Lola's head snapped up as she looked at the enraged beast standing on the fire escape, his hands braced on the window sill as he leaned inside.His face was barely human, if you could even call him human.He was shirtless, and his arms, chest, and stomach, were toned to perfection.His wild mane of hair billowed in the wind like a wildfire as he scanned the area.Those blazing-gold eyes she felt like she knew, didn't miss a thing.He was looking for any potential threat.When his gaze landed on Bane, he glared at the panther and bared his razor-sharp teeth.
"I'm going to go out on a very obvious limb and guess thatthisis Callon," Katy leaned towards Lola and Maddie.
