Azriel and Elain have been dating for 6 Months. They are happy but aren't Mates. Despite both of them hoping for a Mate bond it never snapped into place for neither of them.

The Inner circle meets in one of the big common rooms of the House of Winds. They have found a book, a book that might hold strong spells they can use for the war against Hybern but the Problem is, it's sealed. After research they find out it was written by one of the first Shadowsingers. The only way to open the book is by a drop of blood from a Shadowsingers Mate. All eyes go on Azriel. The Problem? Like mentioned, Elain isn't his real Mate. They need to find Azriel's Mate, fast. The Main problem is - he didn't find his Mate for the past 500 years. How is he supposed to find them now?

A few days Later they invited an Oracle. Said Oracle is supposed to see Mates of people that offer her a small portion of their power. Azriel and Elain are nervous for obvious reasons. They love eachother, finally got together and now his mate is supposed to ruin what they had... But Azriel agrees nonetheless, he has to and so the ritual starts.
