Kason could hear Misty and Jay begin to eat. Though he focused on the plate in front of him, Kason was aware Misty was nervous. He was happy for his friend that he found his mate. Never in a million years could he have guessed that Jay's mate would also be his mate. Add into the fact that the only reason that Misty had mated with him was to save him from the leech and he was unsure of himself. Normally, compatible lovers would have plenty of time to learn about each other before attempting a contract and if there were any other mates, introductions would be made.
