The Young Vampire Mate: The Airendell Chronicler Diaries - Book 1.5 by Audra Hart Page A

immortality.  She was light on details, but she saw Morna alive, as she is now, in the distant future.  So take heart.”
    Luca snorts on the other end of the line and I am taken aback a little.  It’s an uncharacteristically rude thing for Lucian Michaels to do.  He’s usually so polite and proper.  I realize it is a sign how great the toll caring for my sister by himself has been.  I feel guilt over me for not being there for both of them.  But I can’t help but smile when he chuckles and says, “Yeah, well, Una MacLeod has always been a little nuts.”
    I chuckle because I can’t help but agree, but I have never known her visions to be wrong.  They may be vague and hard to understand, but never wrong.  I remember what Fionn said about Una saying I would be with my mate soon.  I can’t help myself, I have to ask about Damian.  Now it’s Luca’s turn to chuckle.  “That boy appeals to you, doesn’t he?”
    I chew on my lip and wonder how best to answer his question.  I finally decide to be completely honest.  Luca won’t carry tales, that’s just not how he operates.  “I have been dreaming about him for centuries.”
    “No shit?” my brother in law asks incredulously.  “Are you sure it’s the same man?  Those types of dreams can be pretty vague, or so I understand.”
    “I am pretty sure, but I won’t know for certainty until I meet him and am able to spend a little time with him,” I admit.  “What kind of man is he, Lucian?  He‘s always been so tender, protective and caring in my visions.”
    “He’s got a good heart but a bad history, Breena.  He had a really bad mortal life and then this idiot named Marshall changed him as part of an army he was trying to create.  After the Italians wiped out his sire and most of the army he had created, Damian went nomad and survived for a while like most Stone Colds do.” 
    I close my eyes and let that little bit of information sink in.  Shit! He’s a killer. 
    “I have no idea how many people he has killed, Breena.  I doubt if even he knows.”
    My gut clenches painfully at this information.  Can I love someone who has taken innocent lives? 
    “But he wasn’t on his own for too long before he chose to turn from that way of living.  He told me that he kept having visions of his sister and some beautiful red haired goddess calling to him.  Urging him to turn from his blood thirst and follow his true destiny.”  Luca chuckles, “Sound familiar?”
    I am confused.  Artemis is the only red haired goddess that comes to mind at first and I admit as much to Luca.  He chuckles again before saying, “You are worse than Morna.  He described this ‘goddess’ to me… it could only be one of two people, My Morna during her original incarnation or you, Breena Glynn.”
    I gasp at that news, “You really think that he has been having visions of me calling to him?”
    “Makes sense, if you have been dreaming of him… You know the bond between true mates can manifest itself in very strange ways.”  I am silent as hope rises up in me, but Luca’s next words bring it crashing down.
    “He has turned from feeding on humans, and I hope he is able to stick with it.  But Breena, you have no idea how hard it is to resist the lure of human blood.  Especially if you are intimate with a human.  If he is your mate, you will be placing your very life in his hands every single time you are near him.  Are you really ready for a life time of having to be on guard and using spells to protect yourself from your own mate?”
    I am silent for several long moments as I honestly consider Luca’s question.  “If I could find one tenth of the love with Damian that Morna has found with you, Luca, I would gladly risk it,” I vow quietly.  “In a heartbeat!”
    “I was afraid you would say that.  You and my wife are two of a kind,” Luca says.  I think he sounds sad and I wonder if it’s because of me or Morna.  I suspect it’s because
