[Theo]

My claws curled around the steering wheel, Dane sitting quietly beside me from the passenger seat, his hand curved over his lips as he stared out the window in thought.

The Council lights bled into the background, soon being swallowed by the canopy of trees that lined the roads as we drove.

The car was silent, besides the soft hum of the engine, it didn't even sound like we were fucking breathing.

I'm not sure I was - I felt like I'd been holding my damn breath since we fucking left. Though, it was hard to breath without Rose around, like the air wasn't good enough without her scent laced in it.

Fuck - the memory of her in her cute silk blue pajamas, smiling on Xav's lap while he fed her.

The way the shine in her blue eyes dulled the moment she saw Dane's cloud with a mind-link.

The look she gave me when we were getting into the car - dinner half eaten, our mate probably feeling abandoned by us.

Again.

I could feel her worry through our bond - the gentle,

  • The First Mate    Forty Six

    [Unknown] I watched from the shadows outside the room - I know it was was dangerous. But I had to know - I had to see her. Now, watching her, being so close my chest warmed for the first time in what felt like centuries. I knew. It was her. The same copper tone and bright blue eyes. The same small Shifter form. The same fucking scent. It's her. It was hard to stay away, to stay beyond the walls that protected her from danger - to watch them touch her. She looked so content in the Wolf's side, sleeping soundly and oblivious to the wars that were, and would be, waged in her name. My hands curled into fists, icy and cold - lifeless. Like I was since I had lost her. But, being this close, the ice began to give way - heating up with something reawakening in me. I pushed it down, my eyes focused on the small cooper beauty, desperate to get closer. The Wolf moved, making my desire vanish. He sensed me. His ears twitching towards where I stood

    My bones crunched, my muscles spasming and a low whine escaped me, still unused to the feeling of Shifting. Of my body shortening and the world around me enlarging. Annie giggled. A big world just means more places to explore. She said, sounding lighter than normal as she rose. I sunk back into my own mind, like turning into smoke and drifting, able to see and hear everything, though it was coated with a slight sheen. Everything was clearer, crisper and brighter with Annie's senses. For a moment, the room exploded with colours, as if someone had turned on the lights. Dane's face flashed into view, his emerald eyes wide with surprise as I continued to shrink, only for everything to instantly vanish and Dane began laughing. Annie shook her fur out, grumbling and she began pawing at the fabric that covered her, unable to find the neck hole to escape. Dane! Help! She whined over his laughter, hearing him stop. "I'm sorry, honey!" He chuckled, his sure hands pull

    [Rose] "I said no, kitten." Dane rumbled, deep, stern and dominating. A wave of heat coursed through me, my thighs clenching at the sound of his voice. I fought against it, gritting my teeth. "Do you really think you scare me?" I asked, my voice sharper than I intended - but I was angry. Hurt. I tried to wriggle free from Dane's lap again, shoving his hard chest. Feeling his heart beat speed up. I growled in frustration when I couldn't get free, glaring up at Dane. He stared back, his eyes ringed with a thin band of emerald and his expression almost blank. Like a predator accessing what its prey would do next. "Don't I?" He asked, curiousity edging his tone. Like he truly needed to know. I scowled. "You call yourself a monster, but I lived with monsters!" I snapped, my voice wavering and my head lowered, trying to hide my tears as memories flooded my mind. Annie whimpered, recoiling from the onslaught of emotions and flashes. I trembled in Da

    [Dane] I barely got the library door closed before Xavier was glaring at me from the desk. "You broke into the fucking library!" He accused instantly, his voice shaking the room. His hand raised, holding up an ancient book that look like it only stayed together because it was covered in so much dust and hope. "I needed the books." I growled back, my eyes blackening from annoyance. Xavier's shoulders squared as he placed the book gently on the table, his eyes matching mine. "You broke a law, Dane." He clipped, his voice a low rumble. "That place can be dangerous." I scoffed, throwing myself into one of the large chairs around the ornate desk. "It's a stupid law from over three hundred years ago - when magic was still alive and half the books were enchanted to stop people from reading them." Xavier paused. "You actually looked up the history?" He asked, surprised. I shrugged. "I needed to know how to get in there, thought it might be in one of the available texts

    Theo's arms wrapped around me like a shield trying to protect me from the world. His scream still echoed in my mind, his warmth seeping into my already tired bones as he cradled me to his chest like he thought he'd lost me and was scared to ever let me go again. I hadn't made it off the bed, or to clothes, before he'd grabbed me and pulled me into his lap like he needed me to breathe. His hands moved in slow caresses of my arms, reminding himself that I was okay - that I was here. "It must have been her throwing up the silver, Theo." Xavier tried to calm, standing at the foot of the bed. Theo's grip tightened on me. "It felt like I lost our bond," he whispered into my skin, his voice strained around fangs. "It just...vanished." Xav sighed. "You didn't need to use the garage wall as the brakes." Theo growled. "I was in a bit of a panic," he bit back, his eyes hardening to black as he glared at Xavier. "Neither of you were replying to mind-links!" I'd been so...enthrall

    [Rose] "—I already love you, Rose." Xavier confessed, his amber eyes boring into mine. My heart stopped, the words settling deep somewhere inside of me. "You love me?" I whispered back, my voice shaking with emotions I couldn't quite decipher. He watched me for a heartbeat. "Yes," he said firmly, cupping my cheek and lowering himself closer, his lips brushing mine. "From the moment I laid eyes on you, the moment I touched you - even without the bond, I knew I was already falling for you." He smirked, chuckling in a strained, edged tone. "You captured my heart so quickly, Rose - I think I'm still dizzy." My skin warmed, my stomach twisting with a fluttering sensation - butterflies. Annie howled, high-pitched and kind of funny sounding, but filled with triumph and pride. My fingers glided across the rough, stubble skin of Xavier's jaw, his amber eyes boring into mine as I gently cupped the side of his face. I whispered shyly. "I never knew what love felt like... but,
