As I sink my elongated teeth into the neck of my mate a roar of triumph comes from my dragon. Its as if a snap goes off in mind is flooded. The roar that echoes from my brother has me lifting my eyes to see the pain in his. I remove my teeth from her skin as I quickly lift her away from me. Anger unlike anything I have ever known fills me and I use it as I rush at the men around me. The doctor being the coward that he is quickly steps out the way just as I snap the neck of the first person I get in reach. This ends today.As they back away from me I sway on my feet as a pain hits me hard. I look at my hand for the source of the pain but see nothing as a harsh breath leaves my mouth. As Julia screams behind me from where I stepped over her, I can see her grabbing her own hand even though her eyes remain unopened. My chest hurts as I clutch it and fall to my knees as I stare at the men with hatred. “He will be out for a while from this. Continue as you were. When she dies throw her int
I watch as my brother tries to fight them. I wish that for the first time of seeing someone mark their mate that it hadn’t of been my mate who I saw marked. Knowing that she could die, I cant event take my eyes off of her as she lies so still. The constant pain from my dragon only makes mine increase tenfold. We were supposed to protect her. The love from the bond with us would have been formed correctly. She chose us. She wanted us. She screams as she grapples for her hand with her eyes closed. As I fight to get to her, they finally turn me a loose and I don’t waste a moment. Reaching down I scoop her into my arms as I try to stop her movements so that she cant hurt herself. I hear as people hit the ground but I cant be bothered to pay them attention as the cries of my mate break my heart. If she did deserve death then I would imagine that this would have been easier to watch. I would wish that she goes peacefully into the night instead of what torture awaits her in my brothers so
I open my eyes in confusion as I look around. To find myself seated is not what I expected when I died. I imagined going to a place as the humans described for their damned. I imagined being burned and an eternal torture for all that I have done. A laugh fills the air and my attention is automatically drawn to it as I watch a little girl run. She seems so familiar and happy that I stumble to my feet as I go to follow her.As I do a lightness fills my chest. It is so close to the feeling that I receive from the kelpies that I find myself laughing with her as she runs. When the little girl with the large hair meets my eyes my feet freeze just as the smile on my face does. “I was waiting for you to come and play with me. Thank you” She waves at me with her little hands and I find myself waving back as she comes closer. Her little arms reach out for me and I lift her up. The hug that she gives me is the warmest thing that I have ever felt. Tears of happiness and joy fill my eyes as she d
As I stare into the tiny flame the old ladies words keep playing in my mind “A soul is much like a flame. It does not exist to simply be. It must be fed and nourished so that a flame becomes a fire. However, precaution is needed to handle such a thing. In one’s control it can create such beauty and flow abundantly. Although, when out of control it can become the greatest distraction that will destroy everything in its path” As I recite them once more I blow out a breath heavily.I know that this place is supposed to be Morbius’ soul but the only thing in it that I can compare to him is the darkness. Why would someone like him even need any light at all with that kind of evil living inside them? Even as I ask myself the question, I know that something feels wrong about it. I would chalk it up to the mate bond but I cant deny that a part of me doesn’t believe that he is evil. Well, it doesn’t want to believe it. Then it hits me. I have to feed the flame.I look around the darkened room
I walk at a brisk pace as I head to my office. My phone is in my hand as my hands fly across my keyboard. The pilot responds fast as I give him the flight instructions to get out of here. As soon as I grab the files needed I will need to head to another facility for my company that isn’t known. With my face being plastered across the news as public enemy number one for the recording that they somehow got, I need to be where they can’t find me.As I approach the hall where my office lies I can see the worried looks on the faces of my staff. I ignore them as I continue moving. If they were smart they would be moving on just as I am. When the police come to raid this place looking for me I will be no where to be found. Hitting the corner I run right into the dragon that I just appointed as number one. I grunt in frustration at having been interrupted on my journey as he clears his throat.“Well get on with it” I order him as I tap my foot. This is wasting time that I don’t have. “What a
As I face my brothers dragon head on and he holds my gaze I have no idea how to feel. His dragon speaks of things that I have yet to hear from my brother. The way that he talks about their past its almost as if they seem more human to me now than monster. I believe once that no matter what we went through I would always hate him. I never could have fathomed that we would come to an understanding. Just as I go to speak to him his lips start to move. “Julia is our mate just as we are hers. I may no feel no bond to her as I do to you but I do feel something. In this instance I can see parts of the boy that this human remembers. So, from the point and standing of that boy, I swear to you that I will do right by our mate” He states the words with a solemn promise that I wont deny. “I want to believe you but I don’t know if I can. Your actions will have to speak for themselves” I state when I can think of nothing else to say. His dragon can make all the promises and wishes that he wants b
As we walk out of the facility something feels different as I leave this time. The emotions that swim around in my chest are foreign to me. The way that I feel is foreign to me. When I came to mere moments from leading them out of the room, I was shocked. When I traveled into the portion of her soul that needed to be healed by me I never expected to make it out. Death has always been a priority for me instead off an option.It was inevitable that someday it would happen. One of my enemies would return and finally put me out of my misery. The good doctor would get tired of my little bouts of rebellion. Hell my brother could have been the one to do it if he had of gotten loose. I might have tried one day with one of my knives when I could no longer face all the bad that I have done in the world. Me dying has always been a possibility.However, the moment that I walked out of that facility and took a look around, I felt the weight of that decision leave me. My death was no longer as prom
My eyes open slowly as the chattering of my own teeth wakes me. I clench them together to stop the action as I try to breath. I close my eyes at the pain that my chest moving brings me. I breath through my nose and out through my mouth several times as I try to get the tension to leave me. I groan in frustration when it doesn’t work.“Julia” I hear as someone calls my name. I open my eyes slowly as I go to look at the face. I don’t even want to open them. I was finding the black void behind my lids to be really appealing as I just focused on my breathing. When I open them slow the first thing that I see is a bunch of yellow. I frown at the brightness of the color and close my eyes once more. “Come on baby. You need to show me those pretty eyes so that I know you are okay” I hear once more. They way that the voice says it has me wanting to open my eyes. I know that I know that smooth baritone. The voice is like the sun rising on a cold winter day. It being the only source of heat as i
