Chapter 24
“It’s not really a rule so much as an expectation. I will spend all of my time with you so there will be no time to spend with my family.” He responded and I found myself appalled that he was actually defending such a thing.
“That's, no that's terrible. Of course, you should spend time with your family.”
“But I can’t, as I said.”
“Yes, because you will always be with me. Well then I will just have to come with you won’t I.” I stated stubbornly, I was ready to fight him on this one. However, Cole didn't look like he was about to argue, he looked stunned.

The ride to the council building was longer than I remembered although that may have had something to do with all of the people who were celebrating in the streets and the two detours, we needed to take because of that.It was surreal, seeing all the residents, a multitude of races singing and dancing, chatting with friends, happy and carefree, completely oblivious to what was happening just a few streets away.The carriage pulled up outside the doors to the elaborate stone building and Cole stepped out, checking for danger before helping me down. I don't know why he was so insistent on keeping an eye on things in the city, surely, we would have some warning before the outlaws attacked but he seemed to rel

I was so lost in my thoughts I barely noticed when Cole stepped to my side. “Are you okay?” He questioned and glanced at him feeling the pull in my body as I took in his concerned look and handsome features. Like butterfly’s in my stomach and goose bumps on my skin, an ache between my legs and an twinge in my heart, the feelings were getting stronger and as I watched him staring at me from less than a foot away all I wanted to do was reach u an kiss him. I wanted to know how his skin felt under mine.The whole world fell away as I watched him, his own eyes darkening with desire as his eyes flickered from mine to my lips and back again. I have no idea how long we s

Small tingles raced up my arm from the contact of our hands, and with nothing else more pressing to think about, I found myself lingering on thoughts of the man before me. Cole too seemed unable to tear his eyes away for more than a second and I considered for a moment the consequences of giving in to this, of reaching up and kissing him, but before I could make up my mind he tugged on my hand and let it drop before checking the street around us and leading the way up to the front door of the house.I let up both in and Cole made his way in silence to the kitchen. I took several deep breaths before following him and stood in the doorway watching as he caught his own breath whil

After a surprisingly good night’s rest plagued by pleasant dreams for a change, I woke feeling a whole lot calmer about everything the next morning.Cole and I had managed to save enough of the food to stave off our hunger and ate in the living room discussing nothing of importance but getting to know each other better, or favourite movies and books and music preferences were pretty much the focus of the conversation before we shared a chaste kiss and retired for the night, both wearing smiles.I lay in bed contemplating how things would change and what this

“So how was life amongst the humans?” Elsie asked of her son, changing the subject.“About the same as the last time I was there, no major changes. It was a busy week, but Jess managed to keep things interesting.” He laughed lightly, no doubt remembering as I was, the argument we had Thursday night as she tried to insist that we play drunken twister,“Who is Jess?” Jonah asked glancing between the two of us, taking our close proximity with an assessing eye.“My flat mate.” I stated fondly.“So, you stayed with Miss Drovnic while amongst the humans?” His father asked.“Of course, I wasn't about to let her out of my sight, not with so many unknowns.” Cole stated seemingly irritated now by his father’s judgement and I tried to hide the small smile the threatened. It was nice to see him rebelling against the rules for a change.“Well a

Breakfast was a happy affair with plenty of laughter and conversation that made me feel truly welcome. Jonah had gotten over his shock at some point and seemed to be treating me more like a friend of the family instead of an employer and I guessed Cole's conversation with him had gone okay after all. He even went so far as to tell me that I was welcome to visit any time I liked.We had a conversation about my integration into Primogentius and Cole suggested that I could benefit from knowing more about my own race. It was a very obvious hint, but Elsie didn't call him on it instead she simply insisted that when I had any free time she would teach

I lost track of time as I greeted dozens of different animals in the stage one pen, petting them when they allowed as Nathaniel gave a running commentary from somewhere behind me. Each time I focused on a particular animal he would enlighten me with the name of the beast and a small fact about its species.It was a lot of information to take in and I doubted I would remember it all but still I tried to soak up as much as I could, never once considering that I would be able to return to this beautiful place any time I chose.It was like I had stepped into the dream

I groaned on instinct as I registered the pain pulsing through my head.“Lexi.” I heard Cole call. “Lexi, can you hear me? are you okay?” His voice seemed panicked, and it took a minute for me to realise why.I groaned again once the memories came flooding back, but this time in humiliation. I couldn't believe I had passed out.“Lexi.” Cole uttered again, this time from closer by.“Yeah.” I mumbled forcing my eyes open and looking up into the ruggedly handsome face of my guardian, my breath catching in my throat as I registered how close he was and my eyes automatically dipped to his lips, but his own expression held no trace of lust as he gazed at me with concern.“Oh, thank god. You had me worried there for a minute.&r
