And despite witnessing three of my new-found friends find their fated mate I don't dare hope to find mine. Not when there's a chance someone from Earth will arrive to take me back to face the consequences for what I did.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>But when a gravely wounded warrior is brought into the healer's tent a single touch from me triggers his mating marks to appear. Maybe my punishment isn't having to return to my planet but rather being given a mate only for him to be taken from me.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Jodah</strong></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>Ever since Deeka blessed the other warriors with their fated mates I have wondered if the goddess will find me equally worthy. After awakening from a grievous injury I discover it is the healer's apprentice she has chosen for me. Except despite my mating marks I do not feel the mate bond within leaving me to question whether Deeka made a mistake in her choice. Or perhaps I am being tested.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>As I recover and we spend more time together there is something about my mate that makes me hope the bond may still form. Now I have to decide if I will follow where my heart is leading me or reject the female who may or may not be mine.</span></p><p><br></p>
