the answer to the question.
    “Rain.” They knew who she was, the mortal Mageia that was friends with Gregoire’s mate and currently living at the Guardian manor in Tetartos.
    “Fuck, man, so you plan to try to get out of it?” Conn said, shaking his head. There was a hard glint and harsh tone to his brother’s voice. Dorian knew he wanted to say more. He gave Conn a piercing look. He was in no mood to be fucked with on this. It was his life, and no one would force him to go through a mating. The little mortal was dodging a bullet without even knowing it.
    They all sat there looking at him, and he dared them with his eyes to challenge his choice.
    Conn asked the question that had been constantly on his mind. “How is it that we go centuries with hardly any Immortals finding their destined mates, and then within weeks, Uri, Gregoire, and now you? Not to mention Erik, all at the same time.” Erik was Uri’s brother-in-law and the reason Uri and Alex even knew they were mated. If she hadn’t gone to Uri for help finding Erik’s kidnapped mate, they may never have known they were fated. “I mean, shit, four matings in quick succession when we’ve gone decades, sometimes multiple, between even a single Immortal finding their mate? This is weird, man. Have you at least talked to Drake?”
    “Not yet, he’s checking on the Gods, and then he’ll be here.” He refused to be a pawn in whatever cosmic shit storm was rolling in. There were too many reasons he wasn’t going through with it.
    “What about Sirena?” the wolf asked. Their sister Guardian, as a healer, was the logical person to go to for help, but he knew she would fight him.
    They silently waited as the waitress sidled back and dropped off the drinks.
    Once the female was at the next table, he answered, “There’s no way in hell I’m succumbing to it, and I’m not stupid enough to go to Sirena for help until it’s my last option. She’s obsessed with finding mates. She would likely chain my ass like a sacrifice and send Rain in to force me into it.” His skin crawled. He couldn’t fucking do it. He was never mating. His jaw nearly cracked with the force of clamping it down.
    They all sat there. Conn shook his head. He knew it was killing his brother not to argue, but they all knew Dorian wasn’t one to budge, especially when his mind was so fucking set.
    “It’s not going to happen.” The force of his words brought a surge of power through him. Uri cocked a brow as he looked around. Dorian tried to rein it in. He was always in control of his abilities. Water glasses shook, and he heard the rattling of the water pipes behind the walls. The humans seemed oblivious with the loud music surrounding them. He took a deep breath, trying to get his shit together.
    After a moment, Dorian got it under control. “I’m not a damn idiot. I know it’s only going to get worse. We all know Erik suffered when he couldn’t claim Sam.” Uri’s brother-in-law had had it rough. His mate, Sam’s abduction had been a nightmare for them. She was freed, but not until after she’d been raped and experimented on. Erik had suffered the mating frenzy alone after saving and touching her. The poor bastard went through crazed pain while trying to stay away from her. Supposedly, Sirena had been working on a way to subdue the frenzy’s symptoms. Sam eventually went to him before Sirena could do anything. As Erik’s brother-in-law, Uri had been close during the hell the two went through.
    “What did Sirena come up with for them? Were there any viable options?” He needed answers, and Uri was the only brother he could think to call. It was him or battled it out with Sirena. An option that was less than appealing, but if Uri couldn’t help, that’s what he’d do. Fully mating the little Mageia wasn’t going to happen. He didn’t fucking trust females as a rule, but even he could see the innocence in her, and mating him would destroy a female like that. She would
