Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight, not me. The Carpathian universe and everything within it belongs to Christine Feehan. I do not own their sagas.

Chapter 4
Edward POV
"Yes. I know and have met her. She said that I would meet you in my most desperate hour. And here you are." I stated still amused by the whole situation. Who would have thought that a little prophet pixie would help guide me to my life mate?
"Yes she is like that. She told me that I would be the life mate to a Carpathian male someday. And here you are right here in front of me. She just forgot to mention that you would be a complete jerk. She said something about Ritual Words. What are they?" Bella inquired finally giving in to the fact that she was my life mate though she still wasn't completely happy about the matter.
"The Ritual Words, is the Carpathian way of getting married. I'll write them down for you." I said as I pulled a piece of paper off the night stand and wrote them do on for her.
To complete the mating, a Carpathian male must say the ritual words to his life mate.
You are my life mate.
I claim you as my life mate.
I belong to you.
I offer my life for you.
I give you my protection.
I give you my allegiance.
I give you my heart.
I give you my soul.
I give you my body.
I take into my keeping the same that is yours.
Your life will be cherished by me for all my time.
Your life will be placed above my own for all time.
You are my life mate.
You are bound to me for all eternity.
You are always in my care.
An alternate version which is less formal is:
I claim you as my life mate. I belong to you. I offer my life for you. I give you my protection, my allegiance, my heart, my soul, and my body. I take into my keeping the same that is yours. Your life, happiness and welfare will be cherished and placed above my own for all time. You are my life mate, bound to me for eternity and always in my care.
"Wow. Can I say them too? When you win me over?" Bella asked and I had to fight back the urge to laugh at her thoughts. God teasing this woman in bed was going to be entertaining.
"I would have to let you take me to bed first. And if you're so dead set on me being your life mate why not just say the words instead of write them down?" Bella replied with a huff as she folded her arms in front of her underneath her chest.
"Yes, you can say them too but it is usual just the men that recite the ritual words. But I would love to have you return them to me and mean it. I wrote them instead of spoke them because you are still undecided about whether or not you really want to go through with this. I need you in my life but I shall not force you into something you don't want." I stated as I moved in to invade her personal space and caressed her face.
"And you know all this how exactly?" Bella inquired in a sort of I'm-still-not accepting-our-relationship-but-I-should-know-what-you-got-me-into tone of voice.
"The first blood transfer I did while you were out allows us to read each other's minds and emotions." I replied and then just sat back to watch her reaction. A feminist bride that actually uses her head at least I didn't end up with someone who would have quickly jumped at the chance to be with me because of my looks or title I thought with a smirk.
Bella Pov.
Yes I am a feminist. He is still an ass. "So we can read each other's minds and emotions. "So I can walk through your mind all I want?" I inquired a bit angry that I no longer had the privacy of having my thoughts and emotions to myself but content that they were now shared with Edward even if he is a world class A jerk.
"Yes. You can also see my past in my mind. To see what it was like without you in my life." Edward said to me with a bit of a haunted look in his eyes.
"Really?" I ask. "How do I go about doing that?"
"The same way you look into your own past, my love. Just think of going into my mind. Then you'll be there. Then think of a time long ago. I have been living for 2001 years. So there are a lot of things I have seen." Edward said and once again I felt as if he really would prefer I didn't look into his past yet he wasn't making any signs of stopping me.
