Elaine allowed her to take it as she picked up the warm mug and brought it to her lips. Warmth flooded her system, and her tension began to ease though it didn’t vanish entirely. She tapped her fingers on the

side of the mug.

Harriet read in silence for a moment, occasionally turning the page. After a few minutes, she hummed thoughtfully and straightened.

“Well, it appears to me that the mark doesn’t go away given time, just the strength of the bond if not reinforced. Which is what I assume is already happening between you and Lucas.” Harriet glanced over at her. “You don’t feel it very much, do you?”

Elaine shook her head. “Hardly at all.”

“But the bond won’t completely be severed by time, it just weakens. From what I’m seeing here, there are

only two ways to permanently get rid of that mark. The two of you must reject each other officially,

which wounds your wolf’s strength, or you must reject Lucas then find another mate to mark you.”

Elaine went quiet. She opened her mouth to speak, then closed it again.

Harriet ran her finger across the page, pointing out the passage it stated as such, as Elaine had a hard

time accepting that.

Lucas and her rejecting each other officially, when she was already weakening because of her illness,

could do major damage to her body. But finding a new mate? Impossible.

She’d hoped to die without this mark etched into her skin, not liking the idea of being laid to rest forever

with Lucas’ mark on her. But it seemed like that wasn’t going to happen.

“Oh.”

Harriet nodded. “Oh indeed. I’m sorry, Elaine. It looks like you’d have to talk to Lucas about it. Or…find a

new mate.”

She didn’t state the obvious option out loud, though it took effort to bite her tongue.
