"Why?" "I didn't get a chance to ask. But I assit's so she knows where everything is." "Do you think he is mated to her? Is that why he is welcoming her with open arms? "What?!" Klaus splutters his drink all across the table and the book I'm supposed to be reading. "It's just... I was mated to Kyle and Dane at the stime. He could have another mate out there."
