others, I still feared his judgment; it would basically solidify the fear of my attraction for Amelia as being unnatural. Swallowing the lump in my throat, I finally began. “As I’m sure you know, we—well, I, took a human prisoner after the last successful attack the human’s had on the village…” The old man just gave a nod. “Well, she has been staying in my hut so that I could watch after her. And everyone wants to know why I haven’t killed her and why I took her in the first place when I just simply don’t know.”
    “So you are seeking counsel as to why you captured a prisoner?” Kowlow asked.
    “No, well, not exactly…” I stammered, groaning as I tried to compose my thoughts. While everything had felt so right the night Amelia and I had sex, everything felt so wrong then when trying to admit it to another. “I know why I kept her, but I don’t understand the cause which caused me to keep her.”
    The shaman looked at me with a blank face and confused eyes for several long moments. “You aren’t making much sense, Dracon… You’re overthinking your words. Just tell me, it’ll be much simpler.”
    “Fine.” Taking a deep breath and looking to the ground, I finally unleashed what was on my mind, “I took the human, Amelia, because when her face was revealed, I found myself attracted to her. Attracted to a human… I couldn’t believe it and I needed to know what was going on. So I had her chained to a chair in my hut, but as the next couple of days progressed, I felt myself growing attached and fond of the human. She had a spirit about her, and she is gorgeous for a human. And she seemed to be truly sorry for being a member of an attack squad, which really shocked me—you know how the humans have been, relentless and hell-bent on spilling blood. Then she helped us make that glorious victory against the humans. If it hadn’t been for her, we would have all died. We got back to the hut after the celebration and she admitted she cared for me and I… I lost it. I had sex with her. With a human. And when I awoke this morning, all I could think about was her and how I wanted to make her mine. I just don’t understand any of it. How can it be that I’m so attracted to a human? Is it wrong of me? Is it completely insane for me to have the urge to claim her? I just met this human and I want to claim her. I feel like I’m going mad.”
    Kowlow sat silent for a moment, processing all I had unleashed on him. Even as he processed, he didn’t wear a look of judgment or disgust—just contemplation. “Well, Dracon, I don’t think you are going mad,” he began before standing and walking to one of the only actual pieces of furniture in his tipi, which was a bookshelf. His fingers moved across the line of bindings before pulling a thick, rather aged looking book, down. Kowlow walked back over and sat back down on his pillow. “It sounds like this Amelia is your fated mate,” he spoke calmly.
    I, however, was not calm. “What do you mean fated mate?” I needed answers, and I needed them right then. So I really wasn’t going crazy?
    Kowlow began to flip through the thick book, seeking a passage towards the back of the book. “It means just as it sounds, it means it is your fate to end up with this human,” his tone casual as he continued to sift through the pages. For a moment, I felt like he was joking with me or perhaps making fun of me—and I wasn’t in a joking mood. I fell somber with a short temper, ready to explode if that was the case. I did not want to be toyed with, not when it came to Amelia. “Fated mates are rare, but they happen. In fact, I believe your mother and father were, I’m surprised they didn’t tell you that growing up. If one has a fated mate, they become completely magnetized to one another, almost inseparable. And the feeling of love can show up instantaneously. That is, for our people. I don’t know if humans have the same emotions…” he explained, still
