Here is another excerpt from State of Unrest!
“He’s
your mate?” Abigail asked quietly,
though she knew the answer.
“Yes,
Ma’am,” Melanie whispered, her voice laced with despair. Abigail closed her eyes, thinking back to the
mating lecture that her mother subjected her to on her twenty-first birthday.
“Abigail
when you find your mate, your wolf will let you know. For each changeling, it is the same, upon
meeting their mate the urges begin.
Denying them is futile, because in the end the pain of your soul
reaching for that one person who will complete you. With that comes the need to claim them,
sexually. You won’t be able to help
yourself,” her mother had stated with a flush staining her cheeks.
Abigail
nodded. She knew what had to be
done. Melanie had no choice, for
changelings, denying their destined mate was a slow spiral into death. “Melanie, how are you feeling?”
“It’s
beginning to hurt, Ma’am,” she said as her hands found her abdomen, her posture
bending slightly into the pain.
“There
is only one solution, Melanie, and please start calling me Abigail. I believe after tonight we can call each
other by our first names. I need you to
control yourself long enough to get to your room,” Abigail muttered releasing
Melanie’s hand and jumping from the bed.
“Please,
Abigail, I don’t want to die. I didn’t
mean for this to happen!” Melanie cried
out, tears trailing down her cheeks.
“Oh,
now none of that, Melanie. I need you to
be strong. I am going to find Andrew,
and bring him to you. I’m not going to
kill you.”
“But your father will,” Melanie stated as if it
were a law.
