If you have actual intercourse with your chosen partner she will receive the mating mark, so it is best to be certain before full on intercourse. It is how it works, that does not mean you cannot do other things, but when a male mates a human woman she is marked and a were creature will only mark his mate. Unless fireflights wants to allow them to have sex and only their true mate receives the mark? Fire I am in New York woudl you like to chime in on this?
