Let’s Talk One True Mate (One True Mate Companion, Vol. 1)

6—Characters

The KSRT wolven , by book number:

1—Trevor Burbank is the Lieutenant of the KSRT. 6’7’’, blue eyes, muscular, with a cleft chin, and light brown hair and a slight east coast accent. His wolf is black, with sprays of silver. His renqua is a boomerang. He and Ella have two young: Track and Treena.

2—Graeme Kynock ( dragen ). 6’7’’, brown hair, muscular. His dragon is red and yellow and can grow to the size of a semi truck or shrink to the size of a bug. He has no renqua , as dragen have no renqua . Since his bonding with Heather at the end of his book, he’s had a permanent gold ring around his right bicep, the dragen version of a wedding ring. Graeme is 936 years old and to his knowledge, the last dragen left in the world. Dragen are not shiften—they transform, not shift, as they were humans given the ability (by Rhen) to turn into a dragon, instead of animals given a human half. Graeme and Heather have one young: Kendra.

3—Crew Arcoal. 6’2’’, with thick dark hair and amber eyes. His wolf is silvery-white with black tipped ears and fur, and orange-yellow eyes.His renqua is two stars, one on each shoulder, which is unusual. Crew could be Citlali, but he’s too unstable, and too unwilling. He was a fractionated traveler, living a life in another world while he slept, since 13 years old, but he no longer travels.

4—Beckett Oswego. 6’1’’, thick and muscular, with dark hair cut in a high and tight and always wears a camouflage baseball cap. His wolf is white with black fur on each foot, like boots. His renqua is a circle with lines radiating out from it like a storm. Beckett cannot speak ruhi. Grey killed Beckett’s family.

5—Macalister “Mac” Niles is the Sergeant of the KSRT. 6’3’’, muscular, with dirty blond hair and blue eyes His wolf is all-white with yellow eyes, his renqua is a fiery black sword. Mac could never speak ruhi his whole life, but after he claimed Rogue, he learned, automatically.

6—Bruin Berard Bloom IV is not KSRT, but as of the end of book 6, he is the Chief of the Serenity Fire Department. He is 6’5’’, thickly muscled with coarse brown hair and brown eyes. His bear is a large, brown, Kodiak bear; his renqua, now that it’s returned, is a broken star with an angel wing merging into the bottom of it. Bruin is the prophesied BOGI, the Bear of Great Insight.

7—Harlan Mundelein. 6’5’’, brown hair, silver at the temples. His wolf is a timber wolf with a gray and silver coat and a black muzzle. His renqua is a thick, swirling knot. Harlan did not speak ruhi his whole life, but he could carry on a conversation with his wolf, which was rare. After Eventine returned to him, he could suddenly speak ruhi , and he was strong in it. Harlan’s wolf is named Nowl.

8—Jaggar Lockport. He is tall and muscular with close-cropped hair and a line down the center of his face. He was the beast, half-wolf, half-catamount, but as of the end of book 8 his wolf is Yeager, a gray wolf, and the line down the center of his face is gone. His renqua is an anchor. It was a splotch before his beast split and Tabias, the catamount half, left him.

9—Troy Burbank. Troy was an all black wolf his whole life, until he shifted in book 7 (Harlan and Eventine) and saw himself as a man for the first time. He’s 6’4’’, with lean, rangy muscles, long dark hair, and a Tom Selleck mustache. His renqua looks like a bomb falling from the sky.

10—Trent Burbank. Trent was a black wolf his whole life, with a bit of white on his chest and the tip of his tail. He shifted for the first time in his book. He’s 6’4’’ and muscular, with short black hair. His renqua is an infinity symbol.

11—Canyon Wheeling. He’s 6’4’’, with blue-gray eyes, thick through the chest and arms, with short blond hair. His wolf is black with sprays of silver around his face, chest, and withers. Canyon’s renqua is a SECRET. As of the time of me writing this sentence (11/17/2024 11:30 p.m.), I’m 98% sure I know what it is, but we’ll all find out for certain in 11.

12—Timber Wheeling. He’s 6’5’’, muscular, with green eyes and dark brown hair, a little on the long side, plus a short, dark beard that is just starting to silver. His wolf looks identical to Canyon’s wolf; black with sprays of silver around his face, chest, and withers. His renqua is also a secret. Actually, I don’t even know what it is yet, I only have my first guess, and it’s kind of goofy.

13—Sebastian Breese. He’s tall and muscular with brown eyes, dark hair and skin, and tribal tattoos on his face. He has mind powers like Crew, which we saw in book 5 (Mac and Rogue), when Crew and Sebastian interviewed Cerise, looking for clues about Grey. We haven’t met Sebastian’s wolf yet, or heard anything about his renqua.

The One True Mates by book number:

2—Heather Herrin. She is tall and slim with long blond hair and wears no makeup. She is fireproof and can start fires with her mind. She has her pendant.

5—Rogue Kendall (real name Lily). Rogue is 6’0’’ with hazel eyes and shoulder-length mousy blond hair. She’s leanly muscled and always has a knife or two on her. Her power is unlocking any lock with a touch. She doesn’t have her pendant and we don’t know where it is. Rogue cannot speak ruhi. Rogue is not pregnant. She’s not ready.

6—Willow Kendall. Willow is 5’2’’, petite, with long brown hair and brown eyes. Willow is a super-empath with the ability to remove physical and emotional pain. She has her pendant and it complements her empathic powers.

7— Eventine Mundelein, née Risson (who is a wolven and not an OTM) . Eventine died in the poisoning, and spent 30 years of non-existence in the meadow, until time-travel brought her body to the present and she drank dragen blood and lived. She was gifted a glass pendant by the mates. Eventine is petite, with long cinnamon-colored curls and warm, exotic skin tones. Her wolf’s name is Butterfly. Eventine is pregnant but Harlan doesn’t know yet. Eventine remembers much of the destroyed timeline. It weighs on her.

8—Leilani Kaina. Leilani has long black hair, brown eyes, and caramel-colored skin. Her power was time travel until Tabias ripped her time-travel clock out of her head and took it to the meadow. She has recently discovered one of the pendants Rogue brought from Grey’s hideout belongs to her, but we did not see it happen. We might someday. As of the end of book 10, she is a few weeks pregnant.

9—Reed Marion. 5’5’’, black, shoulder-length curly hair, curvy figure. Her power is that she can communicate with any plant by touching it. She can create treehouses and tree cages, although she’s not quite sure how it happens. She was hurt in book 10—a gash to her head, and Rowan healed her, leaving a red streak in Reed’s hair. She has her pendant. Reed cannot speak ruhi. She is pregnant.

10—Rowan Atenboro. 5’8’’, slender, with straight blond hair. Her power is that she can heal wounds with a touch. She has her pendant—it was one of the ones that Rogue brought from Grey’s hideout. Rowan cannot speak ruhi.

Unknown circumstance One True Mates:

1—Rogue’s twin sister, Amaranth Kendall, who went missing at 5 years old.

2—Sage, Reed’s friend from Mugshots. She’s 5’2’’ and leanly muscular with long brown hair and amber eyes.

3—We met one more One True Mate in book 9 (Troy and Reed) and learned her first name, but we haven’t seen her since. If you caught that inclusion and know her name, nice one. Some people got upset because she called Troy dumb. Ha ha. No worries, she’ll probably apologize.

Citlali:

1—Wade Lombard. He’s the deputy chief of Serenity Police Department, acting as chief. He’s Trevor’s direct supervisor. He looks sixty, but he’s definitely older. He has neat silver hair and beard, he’s tall and trim. We haven’t met his wolf.

2—Burton Risson. He’s the chief of Serenity police department, but has not acted as chief since the poisoning. He’s tall and muscular with dark skin and dark hair. His wolf is a brown and white timber wolf with expressive eyes.

3—Grey Deatherage. See Villains.

Patrol Officer:

1—Blake. Trevor’s best friend. His last name has not been given yet. He was in the area when Khain came to the Ula in book 1 (Trevor and Ella), and he could overhear Khain’s thoughts. Somehow, this incident was the catalyst for the coma he fell into during the events of book 9 (Troy and Reed), the coma he is still in at the end of book 10 (Trent and Rowan).

The Young:

1—Treena and Track Burbank, twin wolfengels born to Ella and Trevor during book 6 (Bruin and Willow). As of the end of book 10 they are 2.5 months old, but look and act 8 months old. Track can speak ruhi already, although he only says a little growl-word: rowr . When Track and Treena touch each other, they can lift and move any heavy object.

2—Kendra, dragengel , born to Heather and Graeme during book 7 (Harlan and Eventine). Kendra is 2 months old. She’s petite and precocious, with fiery hair and a body temperature that’s like hugging the sun. She has to be carried always by Heather or Graeme and can’t be put down because she’ll melt the ground. She likes Mac, so he’s been trying to hold her wearing firefighter turnout gear, while she tried to reduce her body temperature, which was good practice for when she had to reduce her body temperature in order to save Trent.

Bearen :

1—Bruin Berard Bloom IV, who is the hero of book 6 and the mate of Willow. His details are given above.

2—Conri Bloom, Bruin’s twin, a paramedic. His renqua is a sabored knife with a jeweled hilt, which disturbs him. He considers himself a healer, not a fighter, even if he likes to go a few rounds with Troy. He’s tall and thick with coarse brown hair.

3—B3, Bruin and Conri’s dad, former fire chief, ostracized and scapegoated Bruin, was marked by Khain in book 6, now in jail. He is Citlali, so his renqua was a star, but it has not been returned to him. It was taken from him when he arrogantly bet it away.

4—Beirne, Mato, and Hartz are Bruin and Conri’s younger brothers.

Felen :

1—Kalista, the leader of the Pumaii, an organized group of felen dedicated to fighting Khain. Six feet tall, with dark, dappled hair and feline eyes.

Villains:

1—Khain, the demon. He can look like a man, and when he does he’s tall and thick and muscular, with long dark hair and cruel features. He lives in the Pravus, an empty, hell-like dimension with a flat dirt ceiling.

2—Grey Deatherage, the moonstruck wolven Citlali. He’s pale with long dark hair and a dark goatee. He had a star renqua, but Khain sliced it off and marked his chest sometime during the events of book 10 (Trent and Rowan).

3—Rex Brenwyn, crazy foxen , deceased as of book 10 (Trent and Rowan). Graeme ate his head and he just couldn’t recover from that.

4—Soren Brenwyn, foxen , Rex’s brother, Rex forced him to be marked. He’s tall and rangy with silver, shoulder-length hair, a silver handlebar mustache, and thick, dark eyebrows.

Divines:

1—Rhen the goddess, or deae of the shiften, rumored to be the mother of Eventine Risson, and to have had relationships with Burton Risson and Grey Deatherage.

2—Azerbaizan, the angel, the celestial father of the One True Mates.

3—the catamount, a guardian of the meadow, a large, tan, catamount.

6—Angel, a bobcat kitten, and Crew and Dahlia’s echo , with markings on its shoulders that look both like stars and like angel wings.

x—An echo is a divine messenger, frequently a cat, which will have markings in its fur that mirror the shiften it is meant for.

7—Tabias, ⒈／⒉ of Jaggar’s beast, has gone to the meadow to be the mate of the catamount guardian, as of book 8 (Jaggar and Leilani).

Minor characters:

1—Kaci, aka Lillian, aka lil bit from book 4 (Beckett and Cerise), plus her mom and dad. Was small and underdeveloped until the fright of seeing Khain spurred her into shifting, and after, she grew normally.

2—Shay, Ella’s sister, caught by Khain in book 1 (Trevor and Ella), gave birth two 2 young in book 6 (Bruin and Willow). She also has a boyfriend who came and collected her after she gave birth. They are being watched by the KSRT. Shay is unresponsive and has been since she was caught by Khain.

3—Sgt. Lockport (Jaggar's dad, a wolven , deceased), and Journey (Jaggar’s mom, a felen , deceased in the poisoning).

13—Grizz/Wiz, Troy and Reed’s cat.

Note! Some females did survive the poisoning. Lorna Lombard, Wade’s mate, and Kalista, the leader of the Pumaii, are the only two we’ve met. Rumors about why Kalista survived are 1—her mate is a healer and 2—she’s fought Khain, which made her stronger than most. No reason has yet been given as to why Lorna survived.
