Why did I live?
It haunts me that I still exist. A Garagyre isn’t supposed to survive the loss of a mate…but I did. Have the gods forsaken me? Am I being punished? These are the questions that’ve swirled in my mind for centuries during the brief interludes of consciousness I allow myself from my stoneslumber. Fate is a curious thing I’ve found. Why else would the dulcet tones of a human woman’s voice have pulled my mind from the endless ether of slumber? Her grief…I understand it. Losing half of one’s soul makes an indelible mark. Whoever dared harm her will feel my wrath, and I will make her fall in love with me…just as I’ve fallen for her.
My little flame will burn only for me.

There’s a gaping hole in my soul where my brother used to be. How am I supposed to exist without my twin?
Without Patrick, I’m defenseless and at the mercy of a madman. A man that intends to possess and own me…regardless of what I want. All hope seems to be lost when I’m shocked by the appearance of a creature only mentioned in children’s cartoons and fairytales. He, too, wants to possess me…but he doesn’t want to do it by force. He wants to woo me…maybe even ravish me. My mind, my heart, my soul…and if it must be said, my body…they’re all his to seduce.
What I do know is that he will give his life to protect me… Hopefully, it doesn’t come to that…because I think for the first time in my life I’ve fallen in love. I’m not his mate of fate. I’m something far more poignant.
I’m his mate of choice.
