In the Dark Series by Christine Feehan, Lifemate is the term used to describe spouses of the Carpathians (race). However, the bond between lifemates is much stronger and different than that of humans. A male loses his ability to feel emotions after reaching the age of 200. Those emotions can only be returned to him when he finds his lifemate, the other half of his soul. Lifemates must touch minds and share their bodies frequently. If they do not do so, one will begin to believe that the other is dead and might attempt suicide. When a male loses his lifemate, if he doesn’t “greet the dawn” (i.e. commit suicide), he will turn vampire by killing a human while feeding to get the ultimate high.

| - In the Dark Series by Christine Feehan, Lifemate is the term used to describe spouses of the Carpathians (race). However, the bond between lifemates is much stronger and different than that of humans. A male loses his ability to feel emotions after reaching the age of 200. Those emotions can only be returned to him when he finds his lifemate, the other half of his soul. Lifemates must touch minds and share their bodies frequently. If they do not do so, one will begin to believe that the other is dead and might attempt suicide. When a male loses his lifemate, if he doesn’t “greet the dawn” (i.e. commit suicide), he will turn vampire by killing a human while feeding to get the ultimate high. The term "lifemate" should not be solely defined by Christine Feehan's use of it in her novels, because the term has been used in writing for centuries. It generally means "soulmate" and is used in many paranormal tales. Is also used, for example, by the award winning Canadian author Lynsay Sands in her Argeneau series. Many vampire novelists often get their basis for their vampire "species" from vampire lore that is thousands of years old and readers should be informed that much that is written in vampire novels is not neccessarily the author's creation.
