Mating Bonds

Hey everyone!

I had a quick question because when I was researching about this I kept getting ACOTAR. I personally was trying to see what other authors have done and what lore there is but every time I google it, it’s only every about ACOTAR and I’m getting a little annoyed I can’t find my answer. I’ve even tried googling it in different ways and I still only get ACOTAR answers or twilight on rare occasions.

Anyways does anyone have any knowledge on mates for vampires? Or werewolves? Like how their mating works in lore? Or if they have a bond? Or even if they are able to speak to each other through their mating bond or is that just. Sarah J Maas thing. Even if you can point me in the right direction that would much appreciated. I’m just trying to do research on this mate thing while trying to avoid plagiarism.

Thank you in advance!
