Last night when he had asked if he could mark her, she believed by the mark he meant a temporary one. In the life of a vampire, there were different bonds when it came to dealing with different types of relations formed between two people. It could be a bond between a master and his most trusted servant, or it could be a temporary mark placed on the skin, a bond between two partners claiming a person until time came to end it. Decades ago, pure blooded vampires who led the covens placed marks on their coven members. And then there was the soul bond.
