Ursula:
"What do you mean by mate?" I asked him, longing and desire clearly visible in my eyes. I had been desperate to hear him call me his lover, but today, he was calling me his mate. That was something huge for me.
"Remember that night we were watching the stars?" he asked, his beautiful blue eyes shining at me. I nodded, and he continued.
"I felt the mate bond with you that night."
I gasped and covered my mouth. I was, unfortunately, not a very strong mermaid, my wolf side had been killed when I was born. That was rare, but when it did happen, even a powerful mermaid would lose much of her strength. Still, I was always told I was special. They said that mating with my true mate would give me a very powerful child.
But how was I supposed to find a mate when I didn't even have my wolf's voice in my head?
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked my alpha pirate.
