"In this life, a matebond was reawakened. The first matebond ever given by the Moon Goddess to wolf-kind, given to the First King of Wolves. In his second life, it was the matebond he sacrificed to save her life and their unborn child's after receiving a vampire bite."
The thought of Fin ever having a vampire bite made Serena feel sick. Her hand found his where it rested against her stomach and she swallowed down a lump in the back of her throat. Her fingers closed around his and squeezed. The squeeze was small, quiet, delivered without turning around or looking up, a communication so private it existed entirely in the pressure of her grip and the way his fingers tightened in response.
Her eyes flicked to Gavriel who had gone pale as a ghost. The mental image of him bitten would keep her up at night without question. He had no idea she had been crying over him, trying to save him. She wasn't even sure if he knew that he was bitten.
