Nicole's POV:
I woke up this morning feeling both excited and nervous. Today is the day I have been dreaming about my whole life. Today I would mark, be marked by, and finally mate with my mate. I was in love.
I had no doubts about us. We were destined and fated for each other. I also knew that Gabriel loved me too. I wasn't worried about that. I was worried about another attack on my special day. I was also nervous about mating.
I have never been with a man before. I had never even had a steady boyfriend before. I have been missed a few times but never had a chance to go further because of my father keeping me under such heavy guard.
I had no experience, no clue how to please a man. All I had to go on was my romance novels and I had to keep them hidden from father and my guards. I was raised like a nun.
