A dozen retorts tried to fight their way out of my mouth. The one that ended up winning was, "Why don't you just go and let Sam make him then?"

March turned her eyes back to her phone. "I wanted to. Believe me. But I couldn't. I would not harm him like that and there is a probability that if another seer is found. He will appear. So I need you to locate a potential seer for me with all the conditions met."

That was not what I expected. I probably repeated myself plenty that I had seer blood. The problem is that it takes a certain drive and talent to activate that blood.

The Yoit blood could be active with just training. Seer, however, needed a great lost; a deep hate and a powerful regret. In short, she was asking me to wipe out an entire family and torturing the only survivor. I'll have to repeat the process until a seer is born. And then after that she'd take care to tricker the options for mate bonding.

The problem is she couldn't initiate the process it herself. b.l.o.o.d.y hands were bad for the soul and the mating process so March must have seen things that spooked her.

I felt an abrupt twinge of guilt. "That is not on the table. I can offer you a made mate just like Sam's deal. No more no less."

March's lips compressed, and she shook her head. "No."

"In the end, you'll have a dead mate. At least this will prolong the time you'll have together. The longest was over five centuries. That should be enough."

There was a long in her eyes. I sort of understood it but then again. I had felt deep regret parting from Knight and we didn't even have a real bond.

"One thing you're not is stupid, Gene," she confirmed. "But a little too innocent. I want forever. Everyone goes for that because without a mate life is bleak."

The words not spoken but understood was that life was not worth living without a mate. I couldn't understand that part in my thousand years of life I prefered to eat well and live happy. I like eating, drinking and listening to music. I'd probably be sad that my mate died but I think I'll be thankful to be alive and thankful for our time together.
