_ Come To My House

Mates were supposed to be the ultimate soul connection, the other half of your being. How could Lupe's own have been so terrible? Even Gamma Rhett, considering all the circumstances surrounding our mating, he was so passionate and sweet still.

Didn't the bond create a pull for Drach and Lupe too? Or could it have been that only soulmates could have such a unique pull?

What the hell was I saying?

That I and Gamma Rhett were soulmates?! Soulmates my butt!

"He… he claimed I wasn't his type," Lupe continued, her voice dripping with every syllable. "He said he couldn't believe the Moon Goddess chose him for me. But because of the pack rule and he's not a member of our pack, so he has a girlfriend in his pack. But because he's here and has to follow the rule…"

"The rule that Mates have to stay together?" I finished for her, understanding settling in my gut.

That rule, though. That rule. It was ruining so many things, to be frank.
