"I had no idea you were so worried about your powers. You've been doing so good." I looked back at him at first confused, and then realized I hadn't locked down my thoughts earlier. I had been getting good at shutting him out of my thoughts. I left enough that I didn't think he fully realized. It felt so wrong to do it, and I was constantly biting back the guilt, but I didn't want him to know how weak I really was. Now knowing that I could kill him with one screw up hadso scared I couldn't keep that wall up between us.

"I meant it when I told you I never want to live without you. We don't know for sure that our bond is strong enough to kill the other if anything happens to one of us, but I know for me, I would want to die regardless, because I couldn't stand living in a world where you didn't exist." "Stop saying things like that. It's not helping, Kyle. I don't want you to die. I certainly don't want to be responsible for that. And I don't want to die, but I don't want to kill anyone either, not even Christine Canine, as obnoxious as she is and as much as she annoys me. I hate being put in this position, but I promise you I won't give up. I know she will fight to the death and I will be forced to do the same. I just hate it. All of it." He soothed me, stroking my back and kissingall over. As he made his way to my mouth I remembered what his dad had said.
"Kyle, we can't. You promised him. And if there's any chance at all that the bond isn't fully sealed, then it needs to stay that way until these challenges are over." "Kels, you can't be serious. You're going up for a challenge tonight. And you're going to needwhen it's over. Or at least I know I'm going to need you tonight." I sighed.

I just wanted to discuss it with him, see if he has any advice to offer." "I think that's a good idea. Wantto cwith you?" I felt his hope, then his disappointment, as I started shaking my head no.
"He was serious this morning about keeping a distance. I think you showing up withwould be disrespectful of that." He nodded and kissed my temple. "You're a very wise woman, mate." I suspected he knew how it warmedand madeall tingly every the calledmate, and if he hadn't before, he did now that I had thought of it.
"My mate." He grinned, holding my gaze. "My perfect, beautiful, strong, courageous mate. Mine." He kissedhard, nearly taking my breath away.
"You're going to do great tonight." "Will you be there? Watching?" "Yes, it is a requirement. Just as you will have to stand by and watch when my challengers come. Honestly I think that may be harder than the actual challenges themselves." "Says you, who gets to stand by and cheeron." He chuckled. "Actually, I'm not allowed to show favoritism during the challenge. Lucky for us, you'll still hearloud and clear even if I look impartial to everyone else." He tapped on my forehead for added affect signaling our bond.
