Chapter Seventy – They have mates.

(At the Blue Moon Pack)

When a werewolf identifies their mate, the mate bond between them becomes active.

But in the case human-werewolf mates, only when the humans are aware of who their mate is, can there be any mate bond.

Alpha Red hasn't seen it quite before. And had expected to see it between Scott and Lydia. Scott tarrying on telling Lydia she was his mate would only tarry the mate bonding.

He found what he was looking for, rather, in Margaret.

If Scott's information to him were correct, then she was acting under the mate bond from the dark energy.

Only that her mate wasn't a true werewolf and the mate bond was from a dark energy. He wasn't really sure if that counts.

He understood better why the energy was trying to bond with the gem. They both had roots from werewolves.

The dark energy gem, infect non-werewolves souls with it's dark energy making them werewolves by heart. They couldn't transform.
