Bonded

Love is like magic. It seems impossible. It seems unreal. Yet in this world, love is magic. When one makes eye contact with their soulmate, something magical occurs. This is called The Bonding. The more dominant one becomes what is called a Guardian. They have the ability to transform into a powerful animal, and they live the rest of their life with the goal of protecting their Bonded. The other, more submissive, person becomes what is known as a Caretaker. They are the emotional support of the pair. The two become an unstoppable couple, and love each other until the end of time.
