"Yup!" He states, hugging her.

(Do you want them to figure out their mates now?)

(Sorry wrong person, sorry Orca!)

(Sure!)

Alex smiled and hugged him back. Suprisingly, her heart made the decision - she will stay, but tell Caspian about her master. She smiled at him, and blushed automatically, not sure why.

Suddenly sparks went off in his body from where he touched her, he knew immediately what she was to him, he smiled brightly. His Lycan was howling 'Mate!' inside his head, jumping around triumphantly.

The same happened to Alex, but she didnt understand what was happening. She backed up, confused. *wha-what? What just happened?!* her Lycan screamed, *MATE!* but she didnt understand what it meant. She looked at where he touched her, scared.

He looks at her confused, frightened expression and nearly melts. He smiles brightly at her innocence, "You don't know what mates are?" He asks curiously.

She shook her head. *i dont know a lot of Lycan stuff. Whats a... mate?* she took a deep breath, and calmed a bit, but was still scared.

"A mate is a soulmate, the Moon goddess gives one to each of our kind, most never find theirs, though they spend most of their lives searching for them." He explains, reaching out for her again desperately. "You are my mate..."

Alex blinked, then smiled, and took his hand. *im honnored to be your mate, your Majesty.* then she hugged him quickly. After a minute, she broke it, and paled. *we need to talk. About my past.*

He doesn't let go of her hand, loving the sparks that fly through his body at the contact. He looks down at her solemn expression, he nods. "Very well." He states, sitting down and bringing her to sit in his lap.
