"Then why am I not Carpathian?" he shook his head and paced a few steps away from her. "Why am I not able to do all the things a lifemate should do? What went wrong..."

"I don't know Valzar. Perhaps nothing went wrong...maybe we were meant to show the world that not all mortal lifemates were women." Callista's heart sank when he left her standing there.

Valzar suddenly felt dizzy and stumbled to the ground. He felt nauseous, light headed...he slowly came to realize that he had not taken in any nourishment in the last 24 hours. Well, nothing aside from when he and Callista...but that could not count as nutrition...

Callista caught him before he hit the ground. "Valzar!" She checked his pulse and all his other organs. "I'm sorry...I should have made you something to eat...I'll get you some broth." She sat him down against a wall and quickly scrounged up some vegetable broth. "Here, eat this."

The scent of the broth made Valzar's stomach protest violently, "Forgive me, Callista, but I do not think I have an appetite."

Callista shook her head. "You have to eat this. I'll help you keep it down. It's my fault you can't eat anyway. Please let me help?"

"I don't know how you can," he said quietly. "Callista, I don't think I can..."

"You have to Valzar." She picked up the spoon and merged her mind with his, willing his stomach to accept the broth. She dipped it in the soup and brought it to his lips. "Eat..."

He closed his eyes and did his best to comply. Maybe if he didn't look at it...or smell it...maybe then he could eat it...

Callista spooned it in, staying in his mind, keeping the broth down in his stomach. "I'm so sorry..." She got another spoonful and brought it up to him.

"Because I'm the one who talked you into taking my blood. That's why you can't eat...you're in between worlds."
