I couldn't believe it. I have a mate! All the years that I knew Keenan and heard about mates, I never knew that I would be one and actually have one either. After my wife of over thirty years decided I wasn't enough for her anymore left me and turned my two children against me I had felt lost. When Keenan had given me a chance to take a break and get away from everything, I was fast to take it. Never would I have imagined that it was what I was meant to do. When I saw Amaranth, my breath caught in my throat. I couldn't believe how beautiful she was. I was a little shocked that she was over two centuries old, but hey, I'm not complaining.
When she asked me if I could live forever with her and stay by her side, I accepted right away. If I could spend the rest of eternity wit
