Junior was lied to and tricked into believing that his upyr (vampire) true mate was dead. Here name is Zinnia and she's a Sentinel upyr that went insane when she found out she was true mated to a Vargulf (werewolf). Then again, it took only one small scent of his true mate and his world went into a full tale spin. Junior found out fast that parents lie and sometimes the dead don't stay dead
