Callista jumped at his tone of voice. "Buy you haven't even heard the alternative. My way is easier, and so much safer for both of us."

Valzar blinked then sighed, "Then I suppose we'll have to figure something out...I don't want to be without you, but I can't let you give up that what is yours for...for me."

"I guess we will. I wish it weren't so dangerous though." She frowned and traced a pattern in the dirt. The idea of him be converted was exciting, but frightening as well. What if she lost him? She wouldn't be able to live through that.

"Dangerous?" he frowned. "I don't want you doing anything dangerous..."

"Well...physically, it's more dangerous for you. But if it goes wrong, both of us are at risk."

"You could be converted, so that you would be a Carpathian too. It would take three blood exchanges, and would probably be very painful. It is for females. No male has ever been converted though. It's been thought of as too risky, since there are so few lifemates."

"I could be like you?" Valzar tilted his head. "Just through the exchange of blood?"

"But...I've already - I mean, after the vampire attacked..." Valzar's eyes widened slightly. "That's why we can read each other's mind, isn't it?"

"Well...yes. That's why, but we would have been able to anyway, if we were lifemates." She hastily added, "But that was only one exchange."

"In theory, yes. But it's dangerous. And I wouldn't ask you go through that for me. It wouldn't be fair."
