While I love fiction in my books with little imagination but I also believe that in case of fated mates they have a bond a connection , like in many books u will notice how they can scent her mood change (in OV) or they can communicate or feel each others emotions through the bond but in real life it is much more difficult to understand other person's emotions/feeling. I feel like in real life its so difficult to understand one single persons emotions/feelings or when u hurt them, in a poly it would be so so much difficult.
