because he is promised in some way.” She could still picture that woman with a clarity that confused her. “It took until the end of my shift for me to realize what she was saying. What he was.”
“You found a vampire. From all the people walking this city, one of ours blew you away?” her mother inquired gently and finally Cia turned to her.
“More than that; a Morningstar warrior found me, not just any vampire.”
Her mother got up, coming over to thoughtfully touch the places where before poster had covered a floral wallpaper. Cia wondered what her mother was thinking, but she refrained from asking.
“I am guessing that this is not the end of the story,” her mother finally said, turning to her. “A happy relationship wouldn’t bring you to that door. Then again, if you aren’t Origin and he could bite you, he is still unbound. Are you waiting for him to find the girl?”
“I was ready to change everything for him, Mom. I stopped working at the daycare center because I thought that if I kept a nightly schedule, he and I had better chances. After all, there isn’t a Queen and even if he’d find some girl, how long would his Origin survive? I could live…”
“Shut up.”
Cia stared at her mother as if she had been slapped. Her mother never spoke like that, especially not to her.
“Excuse me?”
“You have no idea what it does to a person to find their true mate, daughter, or you would never ever suggest what you do. Usually, a mate already is fiercely loyal to his Origin. I cannot imagine how it’ll be for a warrior. Their sense of duty is even deeper ingrained in them and even if he only gets to spend just a few months with her, you’ll never be able to touch him the way you did before he met anyone. Do not degrade yourself like that, and more importantly, do not wish on your warrior to find his Origin only to lose her again. The man you get back after will not be the same as the man you’ve known before.” There was a quite intensity in her mother’s voice that Cia had never heard before. It was as if just the thought of losing her mate scared her enough to almost burst from the room and find him.
“I want to be his true mate,” Cia finally admitted, tears in her eyes.
“I doubt that you are, but I know where you are coming from,” her mother soothed her, gently cupping her cheek. “As long as he hasn’t found her, you can be all that and more for him.”
“I think I’m already losing him, because there was a girl that entered his brother’s life.”
“His brother’s life?” her mother asked, tone incredulous.
“They are twins.”
“Jaden and Kaden,” her mother mused. “They are damn handsome, those boys,” she smiled and Cia picked up a brow.
“Mom, what’s with the language today?” she asked and her mother winked.
“After you left, I needed a new passion. And I found that TV shows can be quite entertaining,” her mother winked and then sobered again. “Which of the twins it is you consider yours?”
It shouldn’t surprise her at all that her mother knew the twins or any of the warriors for that matter. Her mother was well known in the vampire society since she dealt a lot with those Origins that were abused in their own household. Her mother was always at the Morning Star Police Office, which most likely was the place where she had met all of the fighters.
“Kaden.”
Her mother nodded with a smile. “Seems he’s seen as the twin more down to earth, more connected to his heart while Jaden, his brother, is more the little soldier Colbin, their leader, needs and looks for. If the girl entered his brother’s life though, why should that interfere with what you have?”
“He was absent when he was there, talking about how incredibly that girl had smelled. He hadn’t even seen her and yet I had the feeling he was back with his brother and that girl.”
“The twins are very protective of each other, and someone special always changes the dynamics. I
