This is a quick author's note to explain a couple of things.
Some of you may have realised that in my last chapter, I expressed that Jez does fall in love with Morgead. In the book she expressed, when they first realise that they are soulmates, that she didn't think it could happen out of the blue, without any prior attraction beforehand. I contradict this, and just want to explain why.
I think that it would be impossible that, after knowing each other for so many years, they would not have fallen in love before. On L.J. Smith's website, there is even a story about them and they seem to fall in love at that point. This only backs up my theory.
Morgead's personality is similar to Jez's in many ways, but I find that Morgead is the kind of person who would trust more, hence why he is the one who wants to pursue a romantic relationship with Jez in the book, before Jez even realises that she is in love with him. I think that he is the kind of person who would be keeping the relationship going and putting more into it than Jez. I imagine him to have fallen in love with Jez the first time he sees her, but Jez took a bit more persuading because she finds it difficult to love. She's scared that something will happen that will mess everything up, which is why, at the beginning of 'Huntress', she seems to hate Morgead. In actual fact, she loves him. In my chapter 'Fearless' she only realises that she loves him. She didn't fall in love with him at that point.
And the reason she seems to not love him? She pushes him away. She forces herself to 'realise' that she doesn't love Morgead, that she was weak from lack of blood or something like that. She represses her feelings for him by forcing him away from her. I would say this is the point when she starts to 'hate' him.
In a slightly quicker way to explain it, she falls in love with him a couple of months after she meets him, but because of fear, she subconsciously represses it and persuades herself that she hates him.
I hope this wasn't too confusing. I'm not completely sure how to explain my theory. If anyone has an easier way to explain it, please tell me.
