CHAPTER FOURTEEN MATE BOND
In the year: 1950
"HOW do you feel about mates?"
Thea frowns at the questions asked by her therapist and now a friend as well. "They're ok, I guess." Thea shrugs, "I've never given it much thought."
"You've never wondered when you were going to find your mate?"
Thea blinks faster now. "I'm sorry," she chuckles awkwardly, "why are we discussing mates right now?"
"Why not?"
Thea shrugs, "I don't know, it just—why?" She stumbles over her words. Thea was genuinely confused. She hadn't thought about romance. "I've never thought about any type of love since the father of my child."
Carmilla hums, "You don't talk about him much and whenever you do, it's short and filled with plenty of passive-aggressive comments."
Thea pulls her lips in, sounds about right, "because he was a shitty guy that I thought was the love of my life but he just left me when I needed him the most. There's not much more to say."
"Chances are, you will find your mate one day, and whenever I mention that you seem to have the complete opposite reaction from the usual vampire."
"Well, I'm not the usual vampire," Thea emphasized.
Carmilla laughs and crosses her legs, "true. But still...why don't you want a mate?"
"Because things tend to be destroyed whenever it's placed into my life," Thea confesses.
She'd grown close to Carmilla and was no longer afraid to speak whatever was on her mind.
"I know that's easy for you to believe but I think a mate bond is just the thing you need right now." Carmilla rights in her notepad.
Thea crosses her arms, "why do you believe that?"
"You need someone who will balance you, Thea. Someone who is calmer and the sunshine to your storm."
Thea went silent but soon retorted, "Cute, but no thanks." She walks towards the door.
"You know we're not done talking about this." Carmilla simply shook her head as she jotted down on her notepad.
