"You are not human, like us, are you?" The words left my mouth in whispers as my eyes glanced around eyeing the destruction caused by the two men. 

Two men who had effectively taken out Twenty guards. All heavily armed and trained. 

But now, not even one old get up. 

"What gave that away?" My companion, who I had feelings for, mocked.

"Don't worry, your highness, it's just the time for it to come to light." 

My advisor smiled and so did the other two men.

"What is a beloved mark?" I stayed on the topic. I have to know more and from what I know about Marilyn she was going to tell me everything until she finally realised not to do it.

"Well, it's something that binds the souls together. For humans it could be a wedding ring and a certificate issued by the marriage counselor, for us it is the mark on the neck and the change in scent. It means that the person is mated or married to someone."
