Lore:
A powerful bond between an couple. The bond of a mate has been old as time itself. Once made, it can't be broken or undone. Mates can't leave, hurt or let alone leave each other once the bond has been made.

Powers:
Depending on the couple, most mates can share power to a point. The most basic is the power to be able to tell where the mate is at and their condition, whether they're fine, hurt or dying. Another common basic power is for mates to be able to communicate through minds. Older or more powerful mates can actually draw energy or share their powers with their mates.
