Prologue-Uncle Uzzi

Hello, Darlings!

How are you all doing?

You might have noticed that things feel a little different this time, yes? I can now chat with you effortlessly through this marvelous little app—crafted with love and magic by my brilliant friends, Randall Graves and Menon Blau.

It has always been my heart's mission to unite as many fated mates as possible. But alas, I am only one Witch, and the multiverse is vast beyond imagination.

Thus, Date to Mate—my magical matchmaking app—was born!

Of course, you all know this already, as you’ve eagerly signed up. However, I must remind you: honesty is key when filling out your profile. Be truthful, or the results will be less than magical!

Remember, you’re here to connect with your forever mate, not merely swipe right for a fleeting dalliance. Understood?

Now, it’s true that you may need to venture on more than one date to discover your one true and fated mate—but that’s perfectly fine. We are seekers of destiny, and we do not give up, do we?

Wunderbar!

And, my darlings, don’t forget that Uncle Uzzi’s Date to Mate App offers live chat support from my wonderful staff and helpers. Be courteous! I can’t promise protection from an irate Witch, Wizard, or Supernatural being, should you choose to be rude.

Good luck to you all.

My beloved Liebling is watching from the beyond, and I can assure you, she’s absolutely radiant with pride over this new venture.

May the Fates smile warmly upon you!

Sincerely yours,

Uncle Uzzi

P.S.

Read all the way through the end for aValentine’s Day bonus scene with one of my favorite couples, Elissa & Hunter Maverick!

Igot you now, you little shit.

I’m scrambling to shut down the hacker that’s been trying to break into the system I’ve been securing for the better of a week now.

It hasn’t been easy, but I finally find what I need to nail the fucker.

“Done!” I slap my hands down and push away from the desk, ready for a little victory protein shake.

The thing about being a computer guru is I very rarely have time to go out and I don’t do a lot of celebrating.

Being a Shifter, though, I need to consume copious amounts of calories, and protein shakes, with a little added ice cream and fruit for fat and flavor, often make up a lot of my meals.

Vanderbilt Systemsis the name of my company.

We rent space in an office building in downtown Newark, which is where my employees do their thing.

I live a few minutes away, in the penthouse of a high rise, but I haven’t ever visited the office.

I leave that to my cousin, and the vice president ofVanderbilt Systems, Josh, to handle.
