Chapter 0973

Mom's magic sinks lower and so does my attention. My wolf begins to creep back in my soul, turning towards that new bond, prowling slowly, warily towards it, her ears pricked forward.

"There now," mom says on a happy sigh. "See? It's not scary."

"It's not the bond that's scary mom," I growl, shaking my head even as my wolf steps closer, sniffing softly at the bond, peering out over the edge of our soul, looking for...whatever is on the other side of it. "It's what it implies. A fourth mate!? I can't handle that -"

"Look closer at them, baby," mom urges. "See?"

I do as I'm told, paying close attention, my wolf nudging the bond with her nose...

My mom's face breaks into a big smile. "Two!" she says, delight all over her face.

I just stare at her, dumbfounded. "Mom," I whisper, horrified. "I can't...I can't have five mates...that's insane."

She bursts out laughing, making me jump a bit. "Baby, you don't have five mates. Look again. What...what else could it be?" She bites her lip, incredibly excited.
