As I stare at the door for the first time since I was a child I get nervous. The door is here only inches in front of me and yet I cannot bring myself to knock. I turn away from it as I begin to pace the length of the porch. My heart beats so rapidly in my chest at this moment that I find it hard to swallow. If I'm being honest with myself, then I know this feeling is because if this doesn't go right, then I have no reason to live.You do know that that seems a bit melodramatic right. It could just mean that we have to work for our mate. You know like we should have had to do before giving her our mark.My feet pause in my pacing as I ponder the truth of the words of my beast. I’ve been dreading this moment and excited all at once because I thought that I would only have one shot to do this. The fact that I could keep on trying actually hadn't occurred to me. I’ve been thinking of this as if it is my last mission. In the missions that I take you only have one chance to gain what you s
My feet go to race after him but I am jerked to a hard stop as tingles rush up my arm. I look back to see a look of apprehension on Jefferson’s face. He tugs me to him as he holds me close. Through our newly made bond I can sense something from him that I thought that I wouldn't again. I can sense his fear. “Chasing after him is not a good idea right now. He is losing control of his beast. I can hear it” He states as he holds my face in his hands. “I'm the reason that he is like this Jefferson. I didn't know how he would react to the joke. You heard what he said. If he can take a leap of faith, then so can i” I say to him honestly.There is a still pause in the air as I listen to him breathing. His eyes flash back and forth between him and his dragon and I know that they are discussing it. My skin itches as I wait. Everything in me is telling me to go after Morbius now. I don't want to fight after we have reconnected but at this moment I will if I have to. Just as I go to pull away
Things around me are so surreal at the moment. All of my senses are heightened farther than they ever have been before. As my breathing increases and I take everything in however, my brain is only able to focus on one thing. Its only able to focus on the scent of my mate as she stands here before me. Seeing through my dragon eyes, I look at her in awe. She looks as she has always looked to me. Almost as if she is of ethereal beauty. However, now she shines. There seem to be these lights around her that shine red in the center but fade to a scalding silver. As I look at the colors while she lays her hand upon my new form I bask in its glow.Her aura proves that she belongs to us.In appreciation my chest rumbles at her touch. The tingles that I feel from her in this form make it as if the bond was never broken. I never even got to touch her as the bond was formed. Regret lines my features as I think of all the things that I have never gotten to do with my mate. She looks lost in a mom
I stare at the vials before me with trepidation. My eyes hurt. My head hurts. Most of all my heart is in pain because after all of my efforts I know what this means. It means that I have failed and that in order to succeed I will have to do the one thing that I don't want to do.“Everyone out!!” I shout in frustration. Not used to this kind of tone being used from me, all of my lab technicians exit in a hurry. For three years I have been able to live the life that I have chosen in this clan. I have held the title as head doctor for the dragons for three years. I did the work when I chose this as the home for my practice a little over a decade ago. I found the creatures so fascinating and wanted nothing more than to study them.My weary body falls into one of the chairs as I stare at the results on the screen. I needed this to work. I needed it to work not just for my friends but for this species. I know it can still work but now it will be at a personal cost. All those years ago when
As we walk through the village I find comfort in having her arm in mine. The tingles that rush across my skin are almost otherworldly as I enjoy the feel of them. I find myself sniffing continuously as I enjoy having her scent so near. I barely pay attention as we head to our destination. I know that there is a common place in which others eat here but i have yet to visit it. Many times someone has just left a basket of items on my porch which I have barely touched.“So, was there a purpose to us having this meal together or did you just want to get me away from your brother?” She asks as she keeps her eyes forward. I have to think about the question that she asks before I supply her with my answer.“Yes, I would like for you to see that I am making an effort so that eventually you will want to complete the bond. As for my brother, I do not care what you and he do together. He is your mate too and my dragon and I have no problems with your relationship” I state honestly as I look at he
Heading toward the cabin that I share with Jefferson I know that I have to be out of my mind as Morbius trails quietly behind me. Even though I have yet to meet her, I can't help but to listen to the new voice in my head as she keeps thinking of ways to test our new mates. He would be happy to know that he nearly won her over with the declaration that he made to Xander. For an unexpected gesture on his part I have been skeptical on telling him exactly how much that meant to us. But I can't let him go that easily. There are still so many questions that he has left unanswered and she has decided that while he is so willing we must get them now. Since seeing the logic behind her request I have decided just to go with it. She is right about this one thing after all. We need to see if we can work in an environment between all three of us before I decide to accept him again. Jefferson has made his stance clear on how things will be with his brother but we need to see if Morbius also lives
The sweetest taste touches my lips and my eyes close of their own accord. Lights dance in my mind as the connection to my mate strengthens and my heart gets what it has so desired. My mate back in my arms and in my life. The kiss is full of heat and hope and I have no desire for it to end. It is far more than I had hoped to get in this lifetime. When she pulls away from the kiss I don't know how to act.My hands fidget at my sides as my fingertips play with my knives. Seeing that my brother has borne witness to the whole action of it, I clear my throat and step away from her as I look at him awkwardly. I don't know how he will react to our mate kissing me but if it is negative i would prefer to have room to move.“Well, I would say that that is my cue. I still have a few things to finish in the kitchens before I am free for the day.” Jefferson says as he goes to kiss her. She returns his kiss fully and he wipes the tears from her cheeks as he pulls back. “Allow me to have a quick word
When my eyes finally open I can already tell that I didn't sleep that well. I shift on the bed uncomfortable and hot. I close my eyes and try to relax again but it's just too hot. Shifting on the bed again, I freeze when something cold touches my foot. Looking to the other side of the bed I smile when I see that Morbius is still here. As I look at him laying there still in sleep my thighs clench. My eyes trace his features as I move toward him slowly. The lines of worry that crease his face are gone. One could even say that he looks nice and peaceful like this instead of mean and burly. The sleeves of the robe on his arms have been rolled up to reveal his muscular nature. Unable to resist my hand reaches out to touch the smooth skin as I trace one of the veins lightly. His arm gives a light twitch as a response.Scooting even closer, my eyes stray to the other parts of his robe that have moved in his rest. As he lies still I can see the heavy mass that lays on his thigh. At the sight
