Healing with the mate bond

Author's note: This is from Luca's point of view

I was fascinated by the information that Zoe and I are sharing pain and maybe more. 

At the same time, I was regretful that Zoe felt Ash's hits which I allowed to land on me.

"I'm sorry, Zoe. I promise to be careful in the future. I don't want you to feel any pain."

She smiled. "I will hold you accountable." 

"We are truly one, Zoe."

She hummed in agreement. "One soul, two bodies."

"Not for long.", I said, and Zoe's cheeks instantly turned red. She understood the reference to how we won't be two bodies for long.

I can't wait to claim her as mine.

While on the topic of claiming her, I remembered, "We should give blood to Serina for a DNA test."

"She already took samples while you were unconscious. We will get the results shortly. By tomorrow morning, if not sooner."

Now, this was exciting.
