Somehow he knew the beast could understand him as he ran towards his car instead of heading to his lonely apartment he drove at full speed to the headquarters. Calling his sisters in advance to join him at the commanding station he got there in record time.
‘’Are you alright?’’
Removing his leather jacket he faced one of the two people he trusted with his life. The exhausted and disheveled features told him they jumped out of bed immediately to meet up here. The fact they had weapons on either hand, told him they were expecting a fight.
"You didn't worry mom and the commander right?"
"Of cause not. What do you take us for. It hurts us to see you unhappy like a black version of rapunzel bro."
"Beside we believe in your to capabilities to protect yourself."
‘’Well, I got attacked by a rouge.’’
They rolled their eyes storing the weapons by its rightful place. Annoyed daggers piercing his skin he pulled out his phone to a contact number.
‘’I’m sending Brandon a message for the scroll and was wondering if you would want go with me?’’
The squeak and hoots of excitement filled the silence. To ensure his parents don't wake and invastigate childish banter instead of work being done.
He sent the dragon one message, one word that could change his entire life.
<Deal.>
After hours of relaying and omitting information his sister went to their homes at last got their ‘beauty sleep’, as they promised to come before seven.
He sat at the headquarters breaking down the next day’s events in his head. Wondering what a dragon Lord one powerful enough to destroy universes required a mortals services instead of his own kind.
Exhausted form thinking about a certain dragon to distract himself he decided to go through mundane issues. Focusing on cases the human security system well known as the police could not crack before it’s too late.
Going through the box mundane cases he realized there is a higher rate, reports of missing people cases. In three days five white boxes with informal detail. He sniffed a human trafficking reign and to support his suspicion the database identified young girls and boys all under the age of sixteen that went missing.
Reported missing different days, different time of day, different areas clearly the criminals thought they got away with it. They could have if it wasn’t for his insomnia, the butterflies camping and perhaps boredom.
Filing Reports backed up in an organized and extremely detailed statement of the people involved. The place where the kids were held and the identity of the cop working on the inside, just for a mid-night exercise he stopped their next target.
The public is yet be notified by the possible danger so he took it upon himself to notify the press. By experience silence does not solves the world’s issues.
Humans seem to be biding their time till everything corrects itself, fighting each other instead of dealing with actual threats. Some humans sticking their nose in the world of the supernatural creating more paper work, cover ups when they end up dead and the occasional mind manipulation to make them forget them almost dying.
Yawning he heads up stairs to his bedroom saved in his name for days like today. When they were not home due to overtime they all occupied their rooms in the headquarters.
This system was better than having guards that could be protecting the world trail his every move. Although his step father agreed to stop sending people to follow and stalk him he knew he was still being trailed. At least when he turned sixteen that's only when he could move freely but still had to carry a binder of rules.
He was forbidden from dating or having sex. It was not fair it is his body therefore his choices. His attempts to sneak out wined him imprisoned in his room here for days. Months.
Sixteen to rioting the unjust prisonment, years. Nineteen, he stopped rebelling focused on his secret project to taking over the family business.
******
After literally five hours from the time given to them his sisters joined him on his journey, for some reason with a guest. The fact that the guest are earth elemental bender confused his exhausted his peace of mind furthermore enhanced his confusion.
"He said eight not eleven o' clock!"
One of his sisters seem to be enthralled by the elementalist whom is fated to and for reasons that were beyond him. Further proof supporting his none existent battle against his sexuality, his still straight.
His sisters decided to glaze above the roofs both exited to finally meet a dragon Lord leaving him and awkward silence.
‘’Alex.’’
Stunned Kade curiously glared at the tall muscled frame with green eyes raising an eye brow in question.
‘’I’m not a fan of awkward silence. Phoebe and Cassidy told me so much about you, amazing work.’’
Flushing at the burning admirable complement he focused on his sisters still walking side by side and then realized he would go through hell for them.
Catching Alex’s focused attention to the two most perfect people in his life and one of them is his wife.
‘’I was at the wedding. Besides how did this happen?’’
Obviously Kade’s question was regarding the shuttle feeling that whatever the relationship is not friendship.
“My brother and I met your sisters in the last mission we were ordered to go. To stop a reign of sex traffickers they caught us off guard. To keep the long story short we worked together to permanently stop humans from trafficking young woman.
By the earth, we got drawn to their spirit and have kept in contact ever since till the wedding of course. My brother could not make it, he has to deal with both our paperwork in order for at least one of us to be able to protect both sisters.”
He explained.
Working through his own messed up confusion and constant self-evaluations, he wondered how his younger sisters accepted the confusion of fate love.
“Your brother?”
They walked through the magic shield and his sisters joined the conversation.
“Gordon. His actually my closest friend but we were raised like brothers. His practically my brother from another mother. I insisted to go with them to ensure their safety and my brother will complete the todays missions.”
Knowing that their story is far from told, Kade asked no more. He would have to hear this story some other time probably when the matter at hand was resolved.
Walking up to two large dragon would have never stopped his last promise from being uttered. As their brother there’s no way in heaven and hell I would allow them to live if they did in fact break their hearts. “As I said on your wedding day: If you both hurt them, I will hunt you both down like dogs and I will kill you.” Facing large beast that could kill with a single slash no one in their tiny group said a word although the promise lingered like test results. Again they were married but socializing was something he was forbidden from doing, 'to not risk fraternize risking or unwanted sexual attempts.' The dragons sniffed the air detecting a change in the air. All they know is that the Lord has chosen, with that realization the two giant beast bowed down to their new Lord. The small group stared blankly at each other expressions of awe and confusion putrid, at a loss of how to react the other one nudged its tail towards the crouching dragon. Assuming they gave him permission t
"My fiesty one. That’s where the scroll is located.” Assured and slightly embarrassed his focused dropped to the large hands encompassing his own. Up to this point Kade believed he was ‘woke’ enough in a society whereby there is same sex relationships and marriage were accepted. To be honest he never expected that his attraction would be directed towards a guy. The intensity of his emotions made him want to pull away and run but the other man made him want mate and claim. To feel and be one with the dragon, fucking caution to the wind. “I’m sorry I-“ Brandon lifted his chin and he focused on his expressive eyes as he leans closer his eyes searching for the consent. Kade did not want to stop the man’s lips but picturing his stepfather he moved his head. He couldn't do this to his family Brandon's connected with his lips with to the corner of his and an unexpected cacophony of warmth found in a home like no other. His tongue worked to open the clamped lips. His hand caressed the se
Gently grasping his neck and pinning him on the rough textile wall, he dropped his generous lips on his full. Feeling the claim as his dragon posed his resistance. His last ditch of effort to protect his mind and heart with a faked cough. “I have a cold.” He cleared his throat for he felt the power he had left to run drain. Feeling more than scenting Kade the elementalist with an intense desire to give in to give in to the mounting fire. At first his little mate bared no altercations, now he was distancing himself. Although like a rabbit, he felt Kade’s fear to close up and run but his dragon would go to the ends of the earth for him. His dragon vowed and worshiped his most prized possession, his dragon vowed protect and ensure none eight universe that would hinder his pursuit. Soon you will be mine and mine alone. “Then let’s get going.” Following the larger man. Kade somehow trusted Brandon enough to follow him through the unknown, life and back to that moment. “There’s endle
Brandon made his way closer to his uncertain frame, pat a kiss on his forehead not to mention the pulsing electricity. Grateful Kiowa is known to be a dramatic companion. One plea and negotiation for assistance made his companion roar. That sound made Kade’s heart drop although it saved him from his conflicting feelings. He made a note to allow his beast an extra two hours outside of the spirit realm. As they ran the maze, he noticed the determination on the dragons face as if he actually thought Kiowa was in danger. “Kiowa come get me!” Nothing. Now actually concerned he hopped onto Brandon’s shifted form, holding on the swift and steady dragon reminded him of riding a flying elevator. Kiowa made himself comfortable on Brandon’s bed not even bothering to acknowledge the two beings before him, not making the slightest effort to raise his head. Lazy. “You lazy beast. Did you not hear me call you? I was worried sick about you. Thankfully nothing happened to y
“Lord Donald do we add junior?” His sisters drawled at the great good looking dragon momentarily forgetting they are married. Bandon was not in the market, wait no one knew he pieced everything already and he wish to keep it that way. Once he finds out he knows about the engagement, he might be more brazen than he is right now and he would not want that. “Or is Lord Donald fine?” Damn his a dragon. His here. Damn this dragon that is here but it does not explain why he must be hot? ...STOP. Hold on, wait a God damned minute, his not gay. Never have been interested in any dudes so whatever was happening here has to be some sort of bad mojo. “Cass I bet he is here for Kade.” Phoebe practically literally threw him on Bandon and that's when the dragons eyes met his. "Common there was no bus, why do I find myself underneath one?" He recoiled from the intensity, giving his sisters a pointed glare. He got a wink and two thumbs up. In other circumstances would have loved what they we
“Brandon. Are you and Kade...?” “Or at least inform us what your kindness entails.” "What we mean is, he still has a month before he is informed you his intended." Kade’s sisters followed him outside, after reading the atmosphere began their investigation. Confident in is ability to remain calm and multitask, he had to admit he was intrigued by his sisters protectiveness. That family bond allowed him to wonder. What life would be like if were to have siblings? He controlled his expression and grinned shaking off those fleeting whimsical thoughts. His dragon still entwined with his mates pulse, before answering he bowed his respect. “The same thing the two elementalist back there are to you. To make it clear, I wish to be with Kade. Make him realize before hand that time with me won't be so bad nor will it be a prison.” Eyes widening at the honour bestowed upon them and silently watched the dragon rise his head to face them. He would respect their decision if they disapproved of h
“Tell me, why do you keep fighting your attraction?” As always he opens his mouth and said the first thing that came to mind, the exact second he relaxed. “Huh?” Out of a whole range of start-up conversation topics he directly asked the one question he had no answer for. “You bare the mark of my dragon. How long do you plan on ignoring it.” “For as long as take to get out of this conversation.” Feeling a finger trace the corner of his nape, outlining but not quite touching the alleged mark. All of the sudden his heart was in sync with his raging thoughts fingers desperately try to grasp on control. When he moved his finger, subconsciously his body leaned towards the dragon unwilling to bare the slightest separation. “This is the affect you have on me. I can hear every hitch in your breath, every beat you heart. I feel every reaction you have and claiming you will reassure my dragon. You mine.” With those words he lost and with a last ditch of effort he stopped the car at the mo
“I have good news and I have bad news. What about we play rock, paper, and scissors? Or perhaps I should flip the coin and whichever side it lands might break the tie? ” At a loss of words he stared blankly the dragon as his body convulsed in pain and the only thing that slipped out was weakened by stupidity. “What?” Brandon could not bare to see is mate hurt but due to his last reaction, he had to inform him. “Okay. The snake is non venomous but to protect its self and help it hunt it temporally paralyze you. Fortunately since I’m you blood mate I can subdue the pain. But last time I did that, my dragon imprinted therefore building bond between us and to be honest I’m all for it.” Roaring out in agony he faced the impudent idiot, tears to frustration welling. He just explained why he saw Brandon in the light of feelings. One touch enough to ignite the chaos in his heart, mind and body. All he could hears and see was the taunts of his father urging him to destruction. ‘Son. It wi
A FEW HOURS LATER "Aww... I am honoured that you care about me but go to your friends, I will be fine. Ming, I can do this on my own... Besides with you there I might choke..." "I can give you something to pre-choke on..." Ming gave him a suggestive wink and he does despise that fact he did consider the outrageous offer of a futile attempt to stay for the talk. (Knock. Knock). Thankfully the knocks on the door distracts them both from enjoying each other's body once more and he focused of the two figures outside. (Knock. Knock). "I hope you are fully dressed before opening the dammed door. (Knock. Knock)." Kit ducked his head suddenly shy, whoever said that absolutely destroyed what was left of their hot moment. Kit opened the door for his best friends to enter while also kicking out, Ming who was reluctant to leave. "Go. Get out of here Ming. Besides you cannot stay because Forth called, you have to do Moon stuff... Go perform your duties and responsibilities as a human leader t
BEAM'S P. O. V This man's personality was perfect... he is quirky yet so lovable, oh shit. Was he that unhappy with Forth? Wait, why didn't he feel like his doing something wrong? Why did all this feel like taking care of Kel should be something so natural, normal, and fantastic? "So you found your mate and I assumed Fort is short for. Forth?" His incredibly intelligent and fast to catch on, Beam is still undetermined if that is a good thing. Kel sat comfortably on his car his curiosity keeping his attention evenly distributed. He focused on the on the road. Hating the fact he did not tell Kel and leaving him to figure it all out on his own which took a shorter amount of time than him explaining would have. "What made you catch on?" "Haha. The way brother Wayo stared at you… He is the one that is most protective of me and I guess he disapproves seeing you helping me out. Thanks by the way, I am not really the best when it comes to situations that require me to inconvenience someon
BEAM'S P.O.VEverything was going well until it did not and it did not the day Forth bit him. They are still very much interested in each other, in all aspects of the word but they grow distant as if something crucial is missing.Beam feels wrong being with his mate and there are times when he has this terrible thought that tells him this emptiness is not worth it. That he must master up all his strength and run far, very far away that this feelings evaporate. He knows that logic is nonsensical, they are fated mates now and they took a literal term to 'to death do them part'. That his decision to commit means there's no escape from all these feelings and that knowledge is enough to make him want to cry. There are days he wanted to leave his dammed beloved. Oh, goddess forgiveness but it is nothing bad he just contemplated it. Okay, it does not help him if he keep contemplating his decisions. It does not help that he keeps overthinking his situation more than once. And that any time he
KEL'S P. O. V"Here."He directed Wayo and his friend."This is Kit. Kit this is Kelly but everyone calls him Kel."He never wished to give Wayo a bad name ever, even amongst his friends. He politely smiled, shaking his hand. It was clear as day this omega is super high on suppressants. How do they stand the scent? Why is he taking large dosages of suppressants? Does he not have his alpha? There are cases he has witnessed where pimps would force their sex workers to drink the drug, to of course avoid pregnancies. He was not part of the crowed but his friend was. Eventually the scent blocker became something he avoided, that drug was a reminder of a life he was grateful he was saved from. He did not want to say anything or ask in case he does have a reason to hide his nature. Everyone has to have a reason to do anything, right."Beam will be here any... Beam over here."No shit. The dammed odds have to be impossible. Act normal, he is. Why did stupid his heart light up, at best the bet
KIT'S P.O.VSelf-pity, embarrassment and shame override his entire being. What the fuck is wrong with him, his nature? How the fuck did he not know? How the fuck did he not sense it? Why did his body betray him? He literally took suppressants not so long ago, why is this happening now to him? He prayed the Earth have pity on him and swallow him whole.It is his body, how could he not detect the changes. He has never willingly been intimate with someone before Ming. Perhaps that is why he naturally thought the increase in his sex drive was due to the raging endorphins spurring his hormones. Common he should have known better, he should have been able to treat every changes in his own body as they come. For goodness sake he is the damned doctor. How foolish he has been indulging his uncontrollable, irresponsible, drugged part of him. His been so foolish thinking his being safe, in reality he has been living as if there are no real consequences to his nature.Okay, breathe Kit. So what,
BEAM'S P. O. V"Happy anniversary!"A very confused Forth walked in, exchanged his shoes for indoor flats and stared dumbly at Beam. It was yet to ring a bell."It is our first fuckerversary. We were not together so for the years this date passed, I just let it slide but now look. Cake!"He said with a smile wide, his focus evenly distributed between the man before him and the sweetness of the cake he baked. It is not the best looking cake ever and probably tastes like diabetes more than anything and his not sure if homemade cake should give you heartburn. Forth wouldn't judge him harshly, yes he sucks at cooking but he really worked hard on making the white covered icing cake with a 'Happy Fuckerversary' elegantly written.This is a special moment to him that called for a major celebration in his life and of course it did not go without warning from his fathers. It is not like his going through this bonding blind his fathers lectured him in the difficulties of having a mate, as alway
Two days after the wedding...MING'S P. O. VThey were all packed up and ready to leave his family home and head back to human civilization. Kit looked up at the perfect view of the woods, pack schools, play grounds and the most beautiful sunset."I will miss seeing the sun set."For some explainable reason seeing his home in Kit's eyes brought a warm, sappy emotions. He kissed his fated mates cheek and for a few moments just took in the scenery, Kit's body balancing on his."Thank you for showing me your home. It is beautiful and peaceful here, I am surprised you left."He was elated to hear that because soon he wanted this to be their home too. He does not want Kit far away from him not even for a second, how would he survive days? Shit. Now he knows how his father felt when his mother worked in human territory as a therapist, he gets why he wanted her close to him. Would Kit find the separation as devastating as he would? He doesn't want Kit to sacrifice his career for him like his
KIT'S P.O.V Ming left. He is gone. Did he do something wrong? Why was he being emotional? They had unprotected sex once. Fuck. No. He cannot risk getting pregnant by having unprotected sex again. What if they do not work out? His gone. Maybe he will kick him out, worse break up with him. Wait, are they even dating? Yes. He is meeting his family, shit will he want to meet his? Dammit he left. He broke a promise. His gone. Shit he is still not back after his 'well thought' shower. Did he do something wrong? Is he being emotional? No. Stop overthinking Kit… There is one solution to this travesty that will save him face and allow Ming to return to the room without making anything awkward or make the other uneasy. Tonight perhaps he will just have to ask Perm for a different room, the condom thing is something he is defiantly not willing to compromise on. His request was not bazaar, right? Condoms. Whatever they are in terms of relations, they might as well be safe right? At this point he
Ming's POV He knew Kit was nervous in fact he pray to all the surrounding God listening his family not screw this relationship up. The level grounds their relationship stood was mind braving, nothing could fuck it up.His dad knew there was no changing his mind. So he targeted Kit with a sob story, that had piece and bits of accuracy attached to a lie. He was going to be the future owner of the Daichapanya industries. In fact his ideas involve distributing their services beyond China. Kit doesn't have to be involved because he second guess his relationship between his parents. Assuring him to follow his dad without dwelling deep in thought contemplating he got up and when they turned the corner his dad broke the silence. "Do you know how impossible it is to convince you to do something?" Hoping his mom does not mention the fact she left her job to be closer to dad. Shit, Kit stole his heart but his was protected uncertain about them. Although the night before was magical, he was st
