The Second Fated Mate I

"Did you really have to try such a thing?" Blaise asked.

We stepped into the room that was prepared for me. Blaise closed the door shut behind him, locking it in place as I sat on the edge of the bed. I sighed, falling back against the soft mattress as I stared lifelessly at the ceiling.

Great. Back again. This time, with a nagging mother chiding my ear off too. Maybe it would be better to be teased to the edge of insanity by Damon instead.

I looked at my hand, wiggling my fingers back and forth. For all the exercise that I had done, I didn't feel as tired as I thought I would be. I might've been out of breath while running but it didn't take too long before I bounced back. It was just like with Susie― I shouldn't have had that amount of strength.

Did the mate mark change me somehow? 

"You should've known that you wouldn't be able to run far," Blaise continued. "It's just a waste of both time and energy."
