Ember's last words continued to ring in Morpheus's mind...
…we are mates as well, right?
…mates as well, right?
…right?
Morpheus had not expected Ember to draw such a conclusion.
'My mate?'
Morpheus did not say a single lie in his explanation towards Ember. Everything he told her was true, albeit hiding one important fact—that for his kind, a mate bond is like marriage. All he was intending to do was not tell her the intimacy part directly as he didn't know how to explain to this naive girl all that.
He was just trying to get her to become closer to her mate, wanting their relationship to improve, giving her ideas so that the stubborn dragon would let her in the walls he built around himself. He wanted Draven to give up his reservations and mate with her but…
'What did she just say?'
