Well… That reminded me of Tara. I had a vision at Diya’s wedding that Max had a newmate, Tara. One of Diya’s friends.
“Diya,have you ever heard of someone having two mates?” I asked her.
Diyalaughed and rummaged through my make-up. “That’s ridiculous, Aurora. Even moreridiculous coming from the Matefinder.”
“Imean, what if your mate died?”
“Thenyou live the rest of your life alone,” she said with certainty.
Ifrowned. “You don’t think Spirit would bless you with another mate?”
Diyastopped what she was doing and came closer to me. “What’s going on with you?You don’t want kids right away, you’re talking about having two mates. Are youand Kai okay?”
Isighed and ran a brush through my long hair. “Kai and I are fine. He knows Idon’t want kids right away. I’m just doing a lot of thinking lately. Destiny,mates, reincarnation. Do you believe in reincarnation?” What Gretchen andSylvia had said got me thinking.
Diyasmiled and applied some lip gloss. “Aurora, I’m Indian, my people practicallyinvented reincarnation.”
Ismiled back. “It sounds nice. You get another chance to come back and I dunno …do stuff you didn’t do right before.”
“Yeah,it sounds nice, for the humans that reincarnate. My people don’t say anythingabout werewolves reincarnating.” Diya laughed.
Okay.Clearly I wasn’t going to get into some deep soulful conversation with Diya.Instead, I let her do my make-up and talk about babies. But it was a nice idea.There was this girl Becky in grade school that I had made fun of for alwayshaving a snotty nose. Maybe if I reincarnated, I could be nice to her in thenext life. I liked the idea of righting my wrongs.
Ismelled Kai before I saw him. Given that Diya was doing my make-up, I probablylooked like a prostitute.
“Whoa,”Kai said when he walked into the bathroom and saw me.
Yep,prostitute. “What’s up?” I asked.
“Kadenand Chase have settled into a property on our borders. The distance from thepack is good for Kaden, but being in the pack is good for Chase.”
Ismiled. “Good job, Alpha.”
“I’mpregnant,” Diya blurted out. Crap, I forgot about her news. She probably wantedsome alone time with her brother.
“Diya!So soon? Okay. No, I’m happy but … yeah that makes me think about how you gotpregnant and … yuck. But congrats!” he said awkwardly.
“Geethanks, brother.” Diya stood and Kai hugged her.
“I’mhappy, I am. You will be well protected and provided for.”
“Iknow that, Kai.” Diya kissed his cheek. “Spend some time with your mate. She isasking me crazy questions about reincarnation and stuff. She needs a guru.”
Ispit my tongue out at her as she left.
“Reincarnation?”Kai raised his eyebrows.
“Yeah,just pondering life.” I stood and kissed his cheek. It left a red lipstickmark. “I’ve got healing affinity training at Sylvia’s. I’ll catch you later?”
Kaicaught my gaze. “In India we believe couples that marry stay together for atleast seven lifetimes. Hopefully this is our first and we have six more to lookforward to.”
Hewas trying to make me feel better. He didn’t want me to feel weird for askingabout reincarnation. God, I loved him.
“Thatsounds nice.” I smiled.
“Havefun at witch class. Tonight we spy on some vampires.”
I tooka glance in the mirror. Yep, prostitute make up.
