"I thought it would take you longer."
He smiled beautifully. "I felt you needed me. So, here I am."
"You felt it?" I repeated what he said. "How?"
"It is the connection between you and me. My bloodline is quite strong. Even with my father's human blood in it. Without being bonded, I can still feel when you need me."

But with Tristan, it might be… different if I was willing.
