“You can’t do it.”  She whimpered. “Please, I don’t want to forget.”

“I don’t have a choice Brooke.” He shook his head sadly. “It has to be done or the Elders will send the Cleaners after you.”

“But I love you Kyle. I’d never tell anyone about your people.”  Her eyes filled with tears as she realized that there was no way of convincing him that he was safe, that his people were safe.  It didn’t matter to her that he was a descendant of Atlantis.

However, the Atlantean people had hidden their existence for centuries. Discovery was not an option. What was one human in the scheme of things compared to that?

“There are only two choices.”

“Two? But, you said there was only one thing that could be done or the Elders would have me killed. You’d have to erase my memories of you and the time we’ve spent together.” Her voice broke as she sobbed.

“Usually that’s true.” His gaze caught and held hers. “The only exception is the mating bond.”

“Mating bond?” Brooke felt a spark of hope warm her heart.

“Yes, when an Atlantean finds his mate, he can bond with her and convert her. She is then as much at risk of discovery as the rest of my people.”

“Is that an option Kyle?” She asked quietly 

He nodded.  “If you truly love me, it is.”

“Wh-what would I have to do?”  Her stomach was filled with butterflies as she waited for his response.
