    A mate lying to him and death dealers deserting right and left.

    6

    A quick look around the chamber showed no sign of his mate.

    7

    A secret this size – where the Dark One takes a mate – is not going to stay secret long.

    8

    A third form of selection, which may affect the composition of the next generation without of necessity involving a differential death-rate or a differential fertility, is assortative mating, or the tendency of those members of one sex which exhibit a particular character to mate only with members of the other sex which exhibit the same or some other definite character.

    9

    A way to make Gabriel my mate and a way to prevent Darkyn from destroying everything.

    10

    Adding another layer of separation between past-Deidre and his mate settled some of his turmoil.

    11

    After all his sacrifices, after losing Lilith and Katie to Rhyn, he wasn.t sure what he.d do if Hannah chose someone other than him as her mate.

    12

    After passing through the established course of gunnery on board the "Excellent" in 1844-1845, he went out to the Cape of Good Hope as gunnery mate of the "President," the flagship of Rear-Admiral Dacres, by whom, on the 9th of January 1846, he was promoted to be lieutenant.

    13

    After thousands of years alone, she inherited a mate and a family over the course of a single night.

    14

    Already, he felt her magic in the air as she channeled it into her mate.

    15

    An Ancient's mate had never before been found.

    16

    An unbound Immortal.s mate had no protection from demon or Immortal Code.

    17

    And now he had a mate who infuriated him as much as she turned him on.

    18

    And, if he found out she was meant to be his mate, he'd pursue her with the same wild determination he pursued Others.

    19

    Andre didn't deny she was lying to him, which left Gabriel even less certain what to do about his mate.

    20

    Andre said Kris planned to do what Rhyn did and make me his mate.

    21

    Another thought occurred to her as she thought about Katie, the half-demon's mate she met when last at the fortress.

    22

    Any gentleness he felt with Deidre dissipated at the arrival of her mate.

    23

    Anyone who raises a hand to my mate also raises a hand to me and will be dealt with accordingly.

    24

    Are you saying she's an Ancient's mate?

    25

    As confused as he felt, Gabriel would never let anyone hurt either Deidre, no matter whose mate she was.

    26

    As much as he'd loved Lilith, Andre had told him she wasn't meant to be his mate and encouraged him to focus on his duty rather than the woman.

    27

    As my mate, you are at least guaranteed to see dawn, and we'll escape together!

    28

    As noble as Gabriel was, he wouldn't hesitate to turn over anyone who hurt his mate to Darkyn.

    29

    As she stepped through, so did Darkyn's mate, from a black portal to her left.

    30

    Assortative mating exists when individuals which mate are not paired at random, but a definite correlation is established between the characters of one mate and those of the other.

    31

    Awww, you're a baby Immortal mate!

    32

    36

    Besides, she.s an Immortal.s mate.

    37

    Bianca, Dusty's mate, was a Healer of extraordinary power, who had turned her brother from a vamp into a human again at one point.

    38

    But an immortal's mate was off hands.

    39

    But he will always be my … mate.

    40

    But if you don't stop messing with my weak heart, I'll go elsewhere for a mate.

    41

    But she was his mate.

    42

    But that didn't make you his mate.

    43

    But who in Hell is going to become his mate?

    44

    Caffeine (formerly known as theme) is the alkaloid of tea, and is identical with that of coffee, guarana, mate and kola nut.

    45

    Carmen had been his soul mate for a long time.

    46

    Chemical primary mate rials, acids, salts..

    47

    Damian Transported himself before he ditched his mission for some quality time with his mate.

    48

    Daniela.s little legs moved fast, and she was across the courtyard while Kris stared toward the room where Rhyn assumed his mate was.

    49

    Darian motioned for his former mate to walk with him down the beach.

    50

    Darian needs a mate, or it'll be catastrophic.

    51

    Darian paused mid-step, not at all certain he was worthy of a mate.

    52

    Darian said a Watcher ordered you to kill your mate?

    53

    Darian was right; his mate, Jenn, was able to fend for herself in the Black God's lair.

    54

    Darian's gaze swept over his mate's form.

    55

    Darkyn was one finger, his mate two fingers and Wynn three.

    56

    Darkyn's mate blinked rapidly, as if near tears.

    57

    Darkyn's mate blushed again and ducked her gaze.

    58

    Darkyn's mate called anxiously.

    59

    Darkyn's mate cast a worried look at the teen demoness, who was shaking.

    60

    Darkyn's mate ducked her head and crossed her arms.

    61

    Darkyn's mate flushed and cleared her throat.

    62

    Darkyn's mate nodded, turned and retreated through the portal back to Hell.

    63

    Darkyn's mate said nothing but managed to shake her head.

    64

    Darkyn's mate shook her head.

    65

    Darkyn's mate stopped as soon as she was through.

    66

    Darkyn's mate tapped one of her fangs absently.

    67

    Darkyn's mate was gazing at her.

    68

    Darkyn's mate was looking at her hard.

    69

    Darkyn's mate wasn't alone.

    70

    Dean explained to his wife the number of times in his police career he'd seen battered women refuse to follow through when confronted by their abusive mate.

    71

    Deidre crossed the short distance to her mate and paused in front of him.

    72

    Deidre exchanged a look with Darkyn's mate.

    73

    Deidre gasped, understanding now how Darkyn planned on ensuring his mate didn't go anywhere, even after she won their deal.

    74

    Deidre's eyes fell to the tall teen demoness, who was shaking and clinging to Darkyn's mate.

    75

    Demon Law offers you no protection, Death's mate or not.

    76

    Desire spiked through him at the knowledge that his mate was in his arms.

    77

    Despite the piercing gaze she'd never quite gotten used to, she stepped past Jetr and looked up at her mate, taking him in breathlessly once again.

    78

    Do you think…why do you think he chose me as his mate?

    79

    Dorvad the lazy mate hopelessly missed his Queen Sinthee.

    80

    Dusty, his heartless assassin, had found his mate.

    81

    Even if Lilith wasn't meant to be his mate, she didn't deserve such a brutal death.  She didn't deserve death at all.  Instead of mourning a son, Kris could've spent the past few thousand years raising a successor.

    82

    Even Professor Weismann did not deny the possibility of the offspring throwing back to a previous mate.

    83

    Even so, he had his mate, and she wasn't going anywhere.

    84

    Even then he found his trustiest mate in a poodle, and its bearskin was an institution in his lodging.

    85

    Except your mate would get my soul, not you.

    86

    Finding a mate wasn't a priority, not when he was trying to fix his world.

    87

    For all other immortals, they get only one shot at a mate in its life cycle.

    88

    For her, he was the perfect soul mate.

    89

    For now, your former mate is safe.

    90

    Forced into hiding by the circumstances of the past two weeks, Gabriel's yearning for his mate emerged stronger than ever at her passionate kisses and touch.

    91

    From the corner of his eye, he saw one of the many animals his brother Dusty's mate had rescued.

    92

    Gabe drew a breath, expecting Andre wouldn't betray the confidence of his mate.

    93

    Gabe watched as she crossed the gym to give her mate a kiss on the cheek.

    94

    Gabriel cannot kill his own mate.

    95

    Gabriel couldn't take his eyes off the woman who had been his mate, for however brief a time.

    96

    Gabriel hadn't given Darkyn's bond to his mate a second thought.

    97

    Gabriel left his sleeping mate in her bed with a lingering glance.

    98

    Gabriel pitied even the foulest of demonesses, if Darkyn took her for his mate.

    99

    Gabriel sat down across from his mate, studying her.

    100

    Gabriel suspected the Dark One wasn't going to let his little human out of Hell, especially not to see her former mate.

    101

    Gabriel was right --he had to figure it out before he lost his mate.

    102

    Gabriel was still reeling from the sudden, inexplicable changes in his mate and the admittance by Deidre that she had made a deal with Darkyn.

    103

    Gabriel wondered if even a mate and a second chance could help him.

    104

    Gabriel's mate was alive and well.

    105

    Gabriel's mate was struggling to sit up.

    106

    Gabriel's soft cluck of disapproval filled the air around him as Rhyn sat in the corner, watching the most vexing woman in the world --his mate --sleep.

    107

    Had she been his mate, Andre would.ve made Rhyn dead-dead.

    108

    Hannah's pretty eyes grew dark.  Kris kissed her on the forehead, not wanting his mate to worry, even if he didn't know what would happen once he and Kiki left for the underworld.

    109

    Harmony, I have a mate.

    110

    He almost sounded … protective of his mate.

    111

    He also intends to take a mate.

    112

    He also wasn't going to let the Dark One hurt or threaten or even talk to his mate ever again.

    113

    He began to believe Kris was right about the bloodline of his mate's family.

    114

    He chuckled, silently thanking Damian and his mate.

    115

    He could make her enjoy being second mate.

    116

    He could think of nothing more appealing than kicking his mate's ass, as much for leaping off the building as for making him feel what he did when he saw her jump.

    117

    He couldn't help feeling angry with the goddess who set this all up or escape the emotion he felt knowing his mate was the woman he'd loved for thousands of years.

    118

    He couldn't protect anyone from Sasha in Hell, and he itched to taste the woman meant to be his mate.

    119

    He crossed his arms as he approached the woman who was identical to his mate.

    120

    He didn't believe Darkyn's mate when she said it didn't matter.

    121

    He didn't doubt his second and his lover would move on, if Kris chose to take the woman as his mate.

    122

    He didn't know a thing about being a mate.

    123

    He entered the navy in 1846, and served first at sea off Portugal in 1847; afterwards, in 1848, in the Mediterranean, and from 1848 to 1851 as midshipman of the "Reynard" in operations against piracy in Chinese waters; as midshipman and mate of the "Serpent" during the Burmese War of 1852-53; as mate of the "Phoenix" in the Arctic Expedition of 1854; as lieutenant of the "Hastings" in the Baltic during the Russian War, taking part in the attack on Sveaborg.

    124

    He faced his dead mate.  Her blue eyes were large, and she looked tired.

    125

    He felt good after the night with his mate, and it was too nice outside to take a portal when he had the energy to walk.

    126

    He had a mate.

    127

    He had his mate in his arms.

    128

    He had the right people helping him, a mate who reluctantly agreed to his plan to help her, a better understanding of when to break the Code and a plan to repair all that was broken within his domain on the mortal realm.

    129

    He had to find his mate and Darkyn's, quell a rebellion and find a way to reopen the portals to the dealers trapped on the mortal plane.

    130

    He hadn.t eaten in too long, and to have his mate so close … Rhyn took the stairs two at a time until he reached the roof.

    131

    He hadn't been able to face his mate since her confession.

    132

    He has a mate?

    133

    He intended to take her as his mate, Rhyn.

    134

    He leaned over to her and yanked off the necklace marking her as the mate of the White God.

    135

    He pondered his bandaged forearm, where he cut himself when he intended to take her as his mate.

    136

    He removed me, raised me, and accepted his mate as payment, she replied.

    137

    He saw Darkyn's mate yesterday.

    138

    He saw himself with a mate like her, one who was able to remind him what it was like to feel human.

    139

    He says the mate of the Dark One can do whatever she wants.

    140

    He should be able to find his mate no matter where she was – but couldn't.

    141

    He thought she might be an Ancient.s mate like you.

    142

    He trusted the human, but dared he trust the mate of the Dark One?

    143

    He turned away, not wanting to care about the cost of getting his mate back.

    144

    He wanted a mate.

    145

    He wanted to make her his mate.

    146

    He wanted to throw duty out the window when it came to his mate.

    147

    He was able to tackle this kind of problem, unlike the strange tension between him and his mate.

    148

    He was glad he'd waited for the right partner rather than ceding to his advisors' desire for him to mate just to produce an heir.

    149

    He was leaving conflicted after seeing the marking on her back, the one that identified her as Darkyn's mate.

    150

    He wasn't as forgiving of himself or his mate.

    151

    He wasn't really sure Rhyn would consider being sentenced to eternity with a mate much of an improvement over Hell.

    152

    He wiped his face, still able to smell the scent of his mate on his skin.

    153

    He won't lose his mate, even if he chooses to kill her rather than give her up.

    154

    He wouldn't order your mate killed any more than he would his.

    155

    He'd cave to Andre's advice and double-check with Darkyn about whether or not his mate owed the Dark One anything – formally or informally.

    156

    He'd chosen to stay with her that long, and she'd broken Immortal laws to take her place as his mate.

    157

    He'd done what little he was willing to do to his own mate to keep her upset.

    158

    He'd just told Harmony he had a mate.

    159

    He'd never forgive himself for that, even if Rhyn's mate deserved little more respect than the half-demon himself.

    160

    He'd never take another mate.

    161

    He'd never thought he'd hear himself admit it to any woman who became his mate, especially not to her.

    162

    He'd seen Darkyn's mate yesterday and knew she was at least alive.

    163

    He's just another room mate.

    164

    He's taken on the responsibility of raising her child, if she chooses not to mate with another.

    165

    Hearing the lengths his mate went through to condemn the human rendered him speechless.

    166

    Her eyes glowed with both delight and mischief while Jule's mate, Yully, appeared less certain.

    167

    Her features grew more worried at the mention of her mate.

    168

    Her hand went to her neck, where the name of her Ancient Immortal mate, Rhyn, had been until he broke their mating bond two days before.

    169

    Her little brown mate has flown away with the other birds; but Annie is not sad, for she likes to stay with me.

    170

    Her mate and father were near the same age, over double her eighteen years.

    171

    Her mate hesitated then lowered his head, nudging her gently in return in a sign that he wasn't too angry with her.

    172

    Her mate said nothing.

    173

    Her mate, her only love, was nothing more than bloody pulp.

    174

    Her mate, Rhyn, stood in heavy boots, running pants, and a tank top.

    175

    Her mate, the White God Damian, sat with his adopted brothers, the assassin Dusty and the Original Immortal Jule.

    176

    His attention fell again to the bloody neck of Darkyn's mate.

    177

    His heart ached to see his mate in such pain, but he knew from experience there was nothing more he could do.

    178

    His mate didn't know he knew about the human yet, but he didn't think he could pretend everything was okay.

    179

    His mate had been crying.

    180

    His mate was alive, but if the Others had it their way, she wouldn't be for long.

    181

    His mate was curled into a tight ball in the middle of her bed, on top of the covers.

    182

    His mate was lying to him.

    183

    His temper and life seem to have been remarkably free from all that was jarring, jealous and fretful; unless, indeed, we are to accept as true the account of his wife's character which represents her as having been no fit mate for him, but an incorrigible shrew and skinflint.

    184

    Hope that you'll start accepting me as your husband - your mate; not just a lover.

    185

    How could he ever forgive his mate for what happened?

    186

    How did he undo what he.d done when he wasn.t sure how she became his mate in the first place?

    187

    How did she accept her destiny as his mate?

    188

    How much do you want your mate back?

    189

    I cannot undo what I've done to your mate.

    190

    I could be a room mate – help you with the bills and pay rent.

    191

    I couldn't even protect my own mate.

    192

    I did a shit ton of damage trying not to be Katie's mate.

    193

    I don't know why I am the way I am.  I don't even know much of the Immortal Code, just the few key parts Andre used to lecture me about.  Loyalty to my brothers, my mate, the Immortals, humanity.  Respect for Death and her domain.  Other variations of those.

    194

    I found my mate.

    195

    I guess at least he'll be able to get a new mate in a few months.

    196

    I guess if you give a man the ability to build his own mate, he'll make her a tramp.

    197

    I had hoped to meet her, but I am proud to meet her mate.

    198

    I have a new mate.

    199

    I have no business with your mate.

    200

    I know that's why her arm was cut, that she wouldn't mate with you.

    201

    I live here, too, with my mate, the Grey God.

    202

    I mean, you don't have what it takes to keep a mate alive, let alone safe.

    203

    I must handle this, he said, turning back to give his mate a kiss on the cheek.

    204

    I only get one mate.

    205

    I pray to God Hannah doesn.t choose you as a mate!

    206

    I revealed her mate to her.

    207

    I think you have a better chance of being accepted by the Immortals if you.re not my mate.

    208

    I thought the Immortals said they only get one mate, Deidre started, puzzled.

    209

    I threw my cousin's body from the Cliffs into the ocean, and I told my mate a bandit killed our daughter.

    210

    I told them you were my mate.

    211

    I want my mate back, and I will destroy anyone in my path.

    212

    I want to make sure you're my mate and not a shape-shifter demon.

    213

    I went to great lengths to assist your mate.

    214

    I will make you my mate.

    215

    I.d rather lose you as my mate than lose you forever.

    216

    I'm Gabriel's preordained mate.

    217

    I'm not the mate of the Dark One.

    218

    I'm saying, learn from the shit I went through and go get your mate.

    219

    I've decided to take a mate.

    220

    If Darkyn told him about the death dealers attacking his mate, Gabriel would've ignored him.

    221

    If he cared AT ALL that his blood monkey and mate had been totally abused.

    222

    If he were allowed to pick his mate, he'd have chosen long ago and saved his planet.

    223

    If her mate went, the others would follow.

    224

    If I have no power, my mate is defenseless.

    225

    If I've learned anything from watching Sofi and Damian, it's that the mate of a god is truly the one with rank.

    226

    If it were up to me, I'd take you back to Qatwal and mate you to one of my brothers, but Evey forbade it, he snapped.

    227

    If not for the fact she was lying to him, she would be the perfect mate.

    228

    If she didn't help put her mate on a certain path, she couldn't tell if any of them would survive.

    229

    If she searched for the rest of her life, she might never find a better mate than Alex.

    230

    If you were a demon and his mate, you'd be missing your head.

    231

    If you.ll remember, I didn.t choose which Ancient to become my mate.

    232

    If, on the other hand, "infection of the germ" is impossible, telegony will not count as a factor in variation, and breeders will no longer be either justified in regarding mares and other female animals as liable to be "corrupted" by ill-assorted unions, or benefited by first having offspring to a high-class, or it may be more vigorous, mate.

    233

    In fact, you did – and do – refuse to claim your mate.

    234

    In that moment, the demon lord reminded him of Rhyn when the half-demon was trying not to let his mate soften his mood.

    235

    In three days, Darkyn may come on behalf of his mate to collect by any means necessary.

    236

    In truth, he had noticed that Hannah looked like the first Ancient.s mate ever found, Lilith.

    237

    Instead, Rhyn began to wonder where exactly his mate would fit in.

    238

    Irritated at his mate's rebuff, he whispered, "Where are you?"

    239

    Is it because she's his mate or because her blood sustains him?

    240

    Isn't there anything in the Code about your mate?

    241

    It cannot purposely kill its mate.

    242

    It had to do with a certain mate.

    243

    It involved a woman, Kris.s intended mate.

    244

    It is addressed to Diophantus and conveys a moral, that one should work and not dream, illustrated by the story of an old fisherman who dreams that he has caught a fish of gold and narrates his vision to his mate.

    245

    It made her angrier at her mate, who systematically shut the doors around her and also managed to interfere with her ability to trust anyone else.

    246

    It made him dangerous, an enemy of her mate and his brothers.

    247

    It read Fendril, apparently the name of Molly's mate.

    248

    It says my uncle killed my mate and daughter, not the bandits.

    249

    It sounded as if she'd already won, which meant his mate had lost.

    250

    It sounded far too good to be true, especially since Darkyn knew who she was and what he might extort out of Gabriel to have his mate returned.

    251

    It was believed that no Ancient would ever take a mate, because none ever have.

    252

    It was better for both Deidres if he worked to ensure his mate never died-dead.

    253

    It was beyond Wynn's control, but maybe, somehow, another deity was able to save Deidre from Darkyn, who was not likely to be merciful, even to his mate.

    254

    It was for Katie and someone else, someone you killed.  I didn't know about your child.  I didn't know Katie would end up your mate.

    255

    It was getting more difficult to keep his distance from his mate, and he hated knowing he'd have to hurt her emotionally to prevent the tumor from growing too fast.

    256

    It was not the hard, fast, lustful connection he felt with his first mate, but a deeper connection.

    257

    It was the same thrum she felt with Gabriel, after she'd been claimed as his mate.

    258

    It would remove the obstacle between you and your mate.

    259

    It's a long story.  I have a mate waiting for me, if he hasn't gone off and killed himself.

    260

    Jackson patted him on the back, "Rough night, eh mate?"

    261

    Jade had disappeared after Kris sent him away in hopes that Katie would become his mate.

    262

    Jenn drew back, unwilling to let her mate die in the immortal world.

    263

    Jonny didn't seem to know her fate, which meant Xander hadn't told her secret, that she was intended to mate with the Grey God.

    264

    Jonny hadn't mentioned knowing she was Darian's mate, but keeping anything from him just got harder.

    265

    Jule's mate, Yully, was frozen before the open fridge, her eyes wide and red curls bound loosely at her neck.

    266

    Jule's mate, Yully, was known as the Magician and the first to kill an Other.

    267

    Just like you accept your mate's version of our deal.

    268

    Katie fought to keep the emotions tumbling within her from leaking out, instead reveling in the sight of her mate.  While in the underworld, she'd lost all hope of ever standing next to him again.

    269

    Kiera's mate hadn't counted on an obstinate bride.

    270

    Kris and his mate, Hannah – Rhyn's other buffer – weren't about to live the rest of Immortality on the beach with him.

    271

    Kris and Kiki both looked towards the sky when the thunder began.  They'd both given their jackets to Hannah, whose step was growing slower the farther they went into the jungle.  Kiki muttered but didn't openly bitch, probably knowing Kris had no patience for anyone insulting his mate.

    272

    Kris never knew and never forgave him for killing the woman he meant to take as his mate.

    273

    Kris opened the portal to the shadow world and held out his hand to his mate.

    274

    Landon, my mate is here.

    275

    Large tracts of Ilex paraguayensis, from which mate, or Paraguay-tea, is gathered, are found in this same region.

    276

    Letting go of Gabriel was much harder than accepting her new mate.

    277

    Like the deal she made out of emotion with Darkyn's mate.

    278

    Look, I may not be Death, but I'm his mate.

    279

    Maybe having the former deity as a mate wasn't so bad.

    280

    Maybe he didn't care what happened to his mate.

    281

    Maybe he would never find a compatible mate.

    282

    Maybe I should say, my mate, facing reality.

    283

    Maybe she was an Ancient's mate, too.

    284

    Maybe.  In any case, whatever you felt for Jade, you have to figure out how to get over it.  You have your mate.  I've been waiting for mine for a lifetime.

    285

    Memories of a time spent in a black hell while his mate helped the Black God keep him enslaved.

    286

    My father comes tomorrow with your mate and his armies.

    287

    My mate and I won't be here long.

    288

    My mate is my concern, not yours.

    289

    My mate trusts the Dark One over me to help her.

    290

    My mate, helping someone win a deal against her.

    291

    Negotiating with Gabriel over who gets your former mate.

    292

    Neither of them was looking for a mate.

    293

    No matter what it was, though, you're my mate.

    294

    No matter what, you're my mate.

    295

    No mother should want to leave her child to go to some other world, her mate said.

    296

    No one leaves his mate in a place like this.

    297

    No, he'd find his mate.

    298

    No. You are the preordained mate of a deity, just as I am.

    299

    None of this would.ve happened at all if not for the Ancient.s mate, Katie.

    300

    Obviously, I'll find my mate.

    301

    Of all the Immortals and creatures in the world, she felt even closer to the outcast that was her mate.

    302

    On a mission to ensure there was a clean slate between his mate and Darkyn, Gabriel waited in the middle of Deidre's old apartment for the Dark One to arrive.

    303

    One day, he'd be able to make love to his mate at will and kill the Ancient that almost killed her.

    304

    One such as me would view that relationship – and my mate – as a battle to be won.

    305

    Or risk that there was something else going on that would drive his mate back to Darkyn for whatever reason.

    306

    Or what exactly his mate had done.

    307

    Or, you can find her and make her give you back your mate.

    308

    Our people believe you to be my mate.

    309

    Owing to the smaller size of the male and the greater voracity of the female, the male makes his advances to his mate at the risk of his life and is not infrequently killed and eaten by her either before or after pairing has been effected.

    310

    Reassurance that no nasty deal between his mate and the demon-lord would arise.

    311

    Rhyn glanced back to see both Kris and his mate frowning as they watched him.

    312

    Rhyn glanced up, gaze lingering on his mate, then shook his head.

    313

    Rhyn had become like a brother to him, and the idea of killing his mate reopened wounds that hadn.t bled since he stood in this place thousands of years before.

    314

    Rhyn had lost his mate the same day he earned some small piece of respect from his brother.

    315

    Rhyn looked around, wishing he could sense his mate.  She was alone in the underworld with a demon, a thought that made him incensed with the urge to find her.

    316

    Rhyn said nothing more, aware it was all he might ever have to remind him of the mortal intended to be his mate.

    317

    Rhyn shifted his attention to glower down at his mate.

    318

    Rhyn snatched him again and shoved Hannah onto her back.  Fury built in Kris again at the disregard for his mate, until he saw her face.

    319

    Rhyn stared at the scenes playing out in Death's outstretched hands.  His heart grew heavy as he watched demons kill humans by the hundreds.  The promise he'd made to keep Katie happy made him feel sick, and duty would never fill the hollow part of him that would remain during a lifetime without his mate.

    320

    Rhyn thought hard for a minute, then said with effort, "I don't know how to be a mate, let alone take care of a human, Gabriel."

    321

    Rhyn's bond as her mate amplifies her natural ability.

    322

    Romas, he's my mate.

    323

    Sarah was a hopeless romantic, constantly searching for her 'soul mate'.

    324

    Seeing her name there surprised him, but it seemed only natural a woman he'd watched and admired from a distance so long would be his mate.

    325

    Seeing human-Deidre left him pensive, not entirely certain what to do about his own mate.

    326

    Send Cora to guard my mate.

    327

    Send my regards to your mate.

    328

    Sensing her alarm, Darkyn's mate turned and took the arm of the girl behind her, pushing her towards the black door to Hell.

    329

    She and her mate have become even larger thorns in my side.

    330

    She couldn't help thinking the creature whose job it was to trick people into Hell wasn't above lying to the human mate he took.

    331

    She crossed the short distance to her mate and paused in front of him, breathing in his dark scent.

    332

    She crowded Darkyn's mate.

    333

    She had to figure out what she was missing fast and how permanent it was to be an Immortal mate.

    334

    She had to learn to fight, and he wasn't sure when he'd be able to touch her as a man did his mate.

    335

    She hadn't seen her new mate, Darkyn – the Dark One – since he drank his fill of her hours before and left.

    336

    She looked around at her family and that of her mate.

    337

    She looked at the man who had been her mate, at Isac, then at the third man with them, her father.

    338

    She need more help with someone like you as a mate?

    339

    She smiled up at him, content to be with her mate.

    340

    She still didn't understand the depth of her talents or how to control the visions, and being alone and away from her mate made some days unbearable.

    341

    She suspected part of it was the knowledge that Xander—and Sofi—believed her to be Darian's mate.

    342

    She tilted her head to the side, exposing the delicate skin on her neck in an unmistakable invitation to the demon side of her mate.

    343

    She waited for news of Sofi and prayed for her mate, wherever he was.

    344

    She walked down the hallway in search of the dining room, thoughts on all Darkyn's mate had said.

    345

    She was his first mate, and from her womb came my nephew Vara.

    346

    She was supposed to attract Gabriel, until I was brought back, and then she was to be turned over to Darkyn as his mate.

    347

    She was the first Ancient's mate born and should've been Kris's mate, if she hadn't first promised herself to the Dark One.

    348

    She was torn between anger and pity for Gabriel's mate right now.

    349

    She will mate with no one like us.

    350

    She won't need to break the Immortal Codes and return your mate to you, because in the next three days, you'll be out of her hair.

    351

    She'd lost contact with her mate before being taken to the immortal world.

    352

    She'd never hurt so much, even knowing Darkyn's mate was okay.

    353

    She's an Ancient's mate.

    354

    She's an immortal mate.

    355

    She's beautiful and she's an immortal's mate.

    356

    She's my mate, Kiki.

    357

    She's your mate and my sister.

    358

    Show me the deals past-Death and my mate made with the Dark One within the past year.

    359

    So did Darkyn's mate.

    360

    Sofi and Bianca had taught him how to care for someone else, and he was going to put those lessons to good use with his stubborn mate.

    361

    Sofi is Damian's mate.

    362

    Some beetles emit a bright light from a portion of their bodies, which leads to the recognition of mate or comrade by sight.

    363

    Speechless, Rhyn's heart flip-flopped at the prospect of seeing his mate again.

    364

    Standing in the kitchen with the man meant to be her mate, she couldn't help feeling a small kernel of longing deep inside her.

    365

    Still wearing the garb of Hell, Darkyn's mate was sporting fangs with her pink hair and a heavy sultriness that made Deidre look twice.

    366

    Still, she'd texted once, soon after Dusty disappeared, asking her Watcher where her mate was.

    367

    Take. Mine.  Be done with this nonsense.  Leave my mate and my hatchling alone!

    368

    Tell my mate and child I died with bravery.

    369

    That bitch is my mate.

    370

    That Kris could attack his brother.s mate but refuse to strong-arm his brothers into fighting demons made his anger boil.

    371

    That question is for your mate.

    372

    That Rhyn of all his brothers would be granted such an honor as an Ancient.s mate made a mockery of everything.

    373

    The changes in his mate were new enough to startle him sometimes, but she was without a doubt his mate.

    374

    The connexion of the rough Hephaestus with these goddesses is curious; it may be due to the beautiful works of the smith-god (xapLEVTa Epya), but it is possibly derived from the supposed fertilizing and productive power of fire, in which case Hephaestus is a natural mate of Charis, a goddess of spring, and Aphrodite the goddess of love.

    375

    The creature that refused to bow down to the Dark One was not going to allow itself to become blood-dependent upon a mate of human origin.

    376

    The crude methods of preparing jerked beef were also modified to some extent by better equipped abattoirs and establishments for preparing beef extract, preserved meats, &c. There were also mills for crushing the dried mate leaves, cigar and 1 The " bran " exported is from imported wheat and cannot be considered a national product.

    377

    The Dark One is the only deity without a predestined mate.

    378

    The Dark One's mate appeared uncertain once more.

    379

    The Dark One's mate rolled her eyes.

    380

    The Dark One's mate took on a husky note that made her flush.

    381

    The daughter of her mate for eternity, who terrified her and ordered the slaughter of innocents.

    382

    The deity originally preordained to be his mate.

    383

    The demon would leave nothing to chance, especially not the claiming of his mate.

    384

    The dried leaves and smaller twigs of mate (Paraguayan tea-hlex paraguayensis) are exported to the southern Spanish American republics, where (as in Rio Grande do Sul) the beverage is exceedingly popular.

    385

    The eldest of any of the White Gods to mate, he'd been lauded with celebrations for days upon the announcement that he'd chosen a bride.

    386

    The entire imperial city knew how taken he was with his mate.

    387

    The exports cover a wide range of agricultural, pastoral and natural productions, including coffee, rubber, sugar, cotton, cocoa, Brazil nuts, mate (Paraguay tea), hides, skins, fruits, gold, diamonds, manganese ore, cabinet woods and medicinal leaves, roots and resins.

    388

    The favourite object of adoration with adherents of these sects is Krishna with his mate - but not the devoted friend and counsellor of the Pandavas and deified hero of epic song, nor the ruler of Dvaraka and wedded lord of Rukmini, but the juvenile Krishna, Govinda or Bala Gopala, "the cowherd lad," the foster son of the cowherd Nanda of Gokula, taken up with his amorous sports with the Gopis, or wives of the cowherds of Vrindavana (Brindaban,near Mathura on the Yamuna), especially his favourite mistress Radha or Radhika.

    389

    The firm assertion of Darkyn's mate that she bore no one ill-will made more sense when he understood why she said it.

    390

    The gaze of Darkyn's mate was on the ground.

    391

    The god was probably son and mate of the goddess, and the divine pair represented the genius of Reproductive Fertility in its relations with humanity.

    392

    The human was okay, and his mate was at his side, where she'd always belonged.

    393

    The idea Darkyn voluntarily took a bond to a human when he made a name for himself disobeying his former master … There might be a reason Darkyn hadn't explained it to his mate.

    394

    The Immortal side of him is weak.  He'll do whatever it takes to get his mate back, and I intend to plant the idea in his head.

    395

    The instinct that Darkyn was protective of a mate rose again.

    396

    The lives of the White God's mate, and her best friend's mate, were in her hands.

    397

    The male of the hornbills, Bucerotinae, feeds his mate, which is imprisoned, or walled-up in a hollow tree, during the whole time of incubation, by regorging his food.

    398

    The mating bond alone makes it easy for a woman to control her mate.

    399

    The names of her mate and her daughter were written beside hers.

    400

    The night before, he'd left his dying mate, praying he was able to save her life.

    401

    The ocean's cold breeze swept over him, and his thoughts turned from his dead mate to his best friend, Gabriel, who had tried to kill him then disappeared.

    402

    The only danger he saw of losing his mate – again – was if she had any outstanding debt to Darkyn.

    403

    The other Deidre is Darkyn's mate.

    404

    The principal articles imported are textiles, hardware, wines, rice, flour, canned goods and general provisions; the exports are yerba mate, hides, hair, dried meat; wood, oranges, tobacco.

    405

    The principal industries are the cultivation and preparation of yerba mate (Paraguayan tea), cattle-farming, fruitgrowing, tobacco-planting and timber-cutting.

    406

    The puzzled curiosity on the features of Darkyn's mate made Deidre wonder if the girl fully understood what had happened.

    407

    The reminder of what her mate was left her trembling harder.

    408

    The result was five pups, which have grown into handsome hounds without the remotest suggestion of the previous Dalmatian mate of their dam.

    409

    The she-demon will be my mate.

    410

    The three largest quarters were located on the third floor, all presently booked by the two Dawkins brothers and wives, one pair of whom was not sleeping with his mate.

    411

    The two seconds you have with your mate before the Dark One unleashes demons across the mortal realm?

    412

    Then I'm off to tell Gabriel his mate is stuck in Hell.

    413

    Then they said I was your mate, because I bear your mark.

    414

    There was more than one Ancient.s mate.

    415

    There was no hiding from her mate.

    416

    There was no room for traitors in his ranks, not with his critical mission on the human world and his own mate within striking distance.

    417

    There were no signs of violence on the mate of the Dark One.

    418

    There's still some connection between him and my mate, isn't there?

    419

    They said …I'm his preordained mate, a bond that can't be broken.

    420

    They say he went mad when the woman he'd chosen as his mate chose Kris instead.

    421

    This charmer is my brother, Dusty, Bianca's mate.

    422

    This kind of selection is measured by the correlation between deviation of either mate from the type, and deviation of the other.

    423

    This morning, he left a perfectly healthy woman – who looked like his mate and wore the Immortal mating tattoo – and yet was distinctly different.

    424

    This one guy, I was his cell mate for a few months about the middle of my stretch; he was plain different.

    425

    This time, Rhyn couldn't figure out why the creature wanted a human so badly he'd bring her here yet didn't seem eager about her becoming his mate.

    426

    To see my friend and protect his mate.

    427

    Turmoil crossed the features of Darkyn's mate.

    428

    Unlike you, a White God had some choice in who he took as a mate.

    429

    Unlike yours, my mate accepts her place.

    430

    Vara, take my new mate to the slave's chamber and have her bathed.

    431

    Very often one or other of the appendages may be modified for prehension, the seizing of prey or the holding of a mate.

    432

    Was he Dorvad the lazy mate as Gladys so fictionalized him?

    433

    We created a file on you, so we could monitor and determine whose mate you became, if you did at all.

    434

    We used to spar every day, until a few months ago, when I took a mate.

    435

    We're watching, but it's not easy balancing the Council, demons and a pregnant mate.

    436

    What does it mean that I'm your mate?

    437

    What drew him and others to his mate?

    438

    What should matter to you is that you're going to be the mate of a deity.

    439

    What you loved about me is present in your current mate.

    440

    What.s clear is that your mate is still out of control.

    441

    What's so significant about being his mate?

    442

    Whatever happens with my mate, happens if or when it does.

    443

    Whatever is going on, this Deidre is your mate.

    444

    Whatever may have been the views of stockowners in the remote past, it is certain that during the middle ages the belief in "infection" was common amongst breeders, and that during the last two centuries it met with the general approval of naturalists, English breeders being especially satisfied of the fact that the offspring frequently inherited some of their characters from a former mate of the dam, while both English and Continental naturalists (apparently without putting the assertions of breeders to the test of experiment) accounted for the "throwing back" by saying the germ cells of the dam had been directly or indirectly "infected" by a former mate.

    445

    When did you figure out I was your mate?

    446

    When I was reincarnated, the human I created became the only deity's mate without a deity.

    447

    When they reached the meat locker housing her mate, Darian planted both hands on her shoulders before she turned.

    448

    When they'd met, she'd been the on-and-off girlfriend of Dusty, before the assassin met his mate.

    449

    When, however, the Civil War began, he volunteered into the navy, was rated acting master's mate, and became a midshipman in October 1861, and a lieutenant in July 1862, serving in the North Atlantic blockading squadron.

    450

    Where's your mate, Gabe?

    451

    While he envied them, Gabriel really didn't want to go through all that shit with his own mate.

    452

    Whoever finds you first, Darkyn keeps you, Darkyn's mate added.

    453

    Why would something as cruel as Darkyn want a mate?

    454

    Will you take your place in my bed as my mate?

    455

    With a complexion like hers, he was often mistaken as her brother, a similarity they'd used in the past to keep people from finding out she was Damian's mate.

    456

    Worse, he wasn't able to operate under the radar for much longer, now that Gabriel had claimed his mate.

    457

    Would the Deidre that was his mate snap one day and turn into the goddess he remembered?

    458

    Yep. Said she knew who her mate was supposed to be.

    459

    Yerba mate, classified as Ilex paraguayensis, is a shrub.

    460

    Yet, his mate had found a way to reset them.

    461

    You act like you've been shut out of your underworld or your mate made a deal with Darkyn and turned into someone else.

    462

    You and Dusty better catch up, Damian teased his brother's mate.

    463

    You are also my mate.

    464

    You are my mate.

    465

    You are saving five lives a day, simply by being my mate.

    466

    You bring me back, I provide you a mate, and you let me go.

    467

    You can mate her to one of our friends!

    468

    You can stay here or I'll take you to the Sanctuary.  I just need you to tell me where she is.  She's after Katie.  We find Death before she finds my mate.

    469

    You can't hate humans so much if you chose me as a mate.

    470

    You chose your duty over your mate.  You are more fit to lead the Immortals than I'll ever be.

    471

    You could've killed me a million times over, but I'm your mate.

    472

    You don't touch another's mate.

    473
