A/N: This follows "First Impressions." As the title says, there is a brief history of Bill Adama. Also, Bill reflects on his potential future with his mate.
Bill walked a little taller for the rest of the day. For the first time in his very long career, he was happy to be leaving the military. He’d found his true mate, and he knew from their heated discussion over networking the computers that she’d be difficult to pursue. But once he claimed her, it would all be worth it. They’d be mated, their lives inextricably linked. Having a human mate wasn’t unheard of, but it wasn’t typical of his kind. But then, Bill was never typical.
His father had left the safety and security of the clans to move to Caprica City with his family. His father’s first wife was his mate, so when she and their daughter Tamara were killed in a terrorist bombing, his father shouldn’t have been able to live long himself. The males of their species can’t live without their mates. Instead, he got remarried to his law partner, Evelyn, and they conceived William, who was named after his dead half brother. In many ways, Evelyn was a better mate, than Shannon. The two of them lived happily for the rest of their lives.
Bill distanced himself even further from his kind when he decided to join the Colonial Fleet. Unlike the rest of his species, Bill didn’t mind the enclosed spaces of a ship. As long as he got to be in the stars, Bill was happiest on a ship or in a cockpit. Luckily for him, his inner-wolf shared Bill’s love for space and flying, so they were never in conflict, except when it came to Carolanne.
Bill knew the blonde wasn’t his true mate. His inner-wolf had made that quite clear. But he loved her--not the all encompassing love he’d have for his true mate--but he cared for her, and she loved him. Carolanne was human and she insisted on a traditional human wedding thrown by her family. Her family was powerful and instrumental in getting Bill back in the fleet. His bride was drawn to him because he was strong and proud, the alpha of his species. But he never claimed her, not completely. He couldn’t bring himself to risk her life by linking it with his: Regardless of his strength and ability, it would be easy for him to be killed in space, which would end her life, orphaning their children.
Because Bill never claimed his bride, his inner-wolf was willing to keep mum for the most part. However, he was concerned Bill would find his true mate while married to Carolanne. That was a scenario that was certain to end in disaster. He needn’t have worried though. The marriage didn’t last long, leaving Bill free to continue working with the fleet, and his inner-wolf free to troll for their mate.
They had finally found their mate. And she was everything they’d hope she’d be. But that prick Adar had placed his hands all over her. That was unacceptable. When Bill returned to Caprica after his ship was fully decommissioned and his retirement official, he’d go to any lengths to make Laura Roslin his. He wasn’t above kidnapping, either. It wasn’t unheard of for wolves to kidnap their human mates, and he knew his former clan would welcome him with open arms. He was after all their alpha.
But he could worry about all that later. It was time for Bill to prepare his speech. He was hoping to use it as a means of reaching out to his only living son and impressing his mate.
