"That depends. It could be. I would be embarrassed." She twirled the flower some more. "I guess it would just mean that you're special to me and I want to keep you safe, keep you in my care."

"In your care?" Valzar tilted his head at the strange choice of words.

"I would be your protection from other Carpathians, help you when you get into trouble with a vampire or one of my kind, that sort of thing." I'm sorry. I told you it was embarrassing.

He actually smiled, "You would protect me?" How is that embarrassing? It is very kind of you to offer such protection.

Callista blushed. "Until the death." In my society, it is usually the male who does the protecting. I'm embarrassed because it shows how much you mean to me.

In mine as well, though for different reasons as you know... "And as much as I am...honored, I would not have that. I could never see you injured on my account."

"It doesn't matter if you let me or not. I would still do it. Those under a Carpathian's care are guarded carefully. We don't have many mortal friends." Callista smiled and leaned into him, resting her head on his neck. Besides, if something happens to you, I would lose both my best friend and my most comfortable pillow. A girl can't have that.

He gave a small smile, No, I suppose we can't have that.

Callista smiled and put the flower down between the two of them. I'm glad we're on the same page now.

*****Some Time Later*****
Valzar paced nervously across the forest floor. It didn't make any sense. He wasn't Carpathian, nothing like them. How could he be Callista's lifemate? He shook his head, I'm not...I couldn't be. She needs someone strong, who can take care of her, protect her...I'm just a weakling male...

Callista slowly and nervously approached Valzar. He was pacing, something she'd never known him to do before. I don't think so.

Valzar paused mid-step. Callista... he slowly turned towards her. I... he didn't know what to say to her.

You what? If you want me to go away, I will...but I've been worried about you. I didn't mean to frighten you.

I wouldn't say frightened... Terrified was more like it...
