When I launched the knife to stop the warlock aiding the enemy's escape, it took me a moment too long to realize the man I'd killed was my mate. When I met Wren again in Otherworld and he thanked me for killing him, I realized my hasty action had turned out to be his salvation.

Not that I'd let that stop me, no matter how reluctant Lionel was to accept me as his mate. Could I balance love and war, and win them both?
