As soon as he saw her necklace he recognized it. He wasn't sure how, or from where, but had seen it before. He had assumed that because his pendant could be separated into two parts that he would have one and his mate the other, He had been wrong.<br/><br/>"I have never wanted any as much as I want you Mina."<br/><br/>He returned her kiss the gentleness of it perhaps surprising her. "There is one last thing we must do." He took his pendant and placed it around her neck."These necklaces are a symbol of our joining. By wearing them we are binding our souls to one another until the day we die. If you truly are ready to take a wolf a your mate then you must place your necklace around my neck. Then the ritual Will  be complete."<br/><br/><br/><br/>
