When looked at like that it made total sense and the more I accepted this the easier it became. In essence it was on the two of us to mend the rift that had been left for so long. Funny, no one had ever mentioned to me that they gave a fuck if we all got along or not. As much of their asses as I’ve kicked over the centuries, huh.
I was still no closer though to an answer of how to get her to come to me on her own. That would be best all around, if she gave in. If I have to hunt her down the time to do that shit would be now. While I still have some control.
Bitch girl was right, she can leave and leave me in a world of hurt, something I might be able to withstand with all my training. But I won’t ever be the same if that should happen. And she wouldn’t be able to have any kind of life if she denies me because I’m programmed to kill any man who goes near her.
My mind turned to other things, like the fact that my parents have been hiding from me. I can still feel the elders coming in and out of my consciousness but even they aren’t saying anything. If their meddling asses are playing the wait and see game then they must believe that it can be done.
I must’ve fallen asleep at some point because the next thing I knew it was that time just before the dawn and I awakened with her voice in my head. Shit, I must’ve tuned back in during the night. Either that or the bond had grown stronger after our little scuffle.
I opened my inner eye and saw her, fresh from her bath. Dammit, just a few seconds earlier and I would’ve seen that magnificent body again. No worries, there’ll be time enough for that soon. Right now I watched as she walked around the room talking to someone or something that wasn’t there.
‘What should I do Patrick? I spent the whole night thinking and I’m still no closer to a decision.’ Who the fuck is Patrick and what’s he doing in her room while she’s wrapped in a towel? I sat bolt upright ready to fly through time and space to get back to her.
It’s been a while since I spilled blood, not since the world had calmed down from its many wars. It would also be fucked if I had to spank my wife’s ass before we fucked but shit happens. Anger Lucien, anger! You go anywhere near her now and you’ll fuck up any chance that she might let you have her without putting up a fight.
Then she walked over to a corner of the room near a window and I saw the gilded cage that sat atop a very tall pedestal which was home to the big beautiful bird she kept there. Shit, I’m jealous of a bird. My ego deflated as quickly as it rose and I went back to watching her and listening to her conversation with the bird.
I wasn’t surprised when he answered, but I was by the accuracy of his response. ‘Destiny!’ It’s all he said to her no matter what question she posed. ‘But why? I don’t understand, why would they risk me and who exactly is he?’
I waited for his response and when he told her to stretch out her hand I realized that he wasn’t just using his natural bird sense, but was somehow equipped with something more powerful. Looks like there’s more to my little fairy than it appears.
She opened the cage and let him out and I watched as he landed on her outstretched arm and lowered his head to inhale her scent. His head came up and around and he took flight from her arm and headed for the rafters screeching bloody murder.
‘You’ve done it now girlie, you’re in for it.’
‘Patrick get down here and tell me what you saw.’ She stomped her foot and tried coaxing him down to her. ‘Who is he? If you know you have to tell me.’
‘He is… High immortal, His Majesty Crown Prince Lucien Star of the sky clan…’ She put her hands over her ears and started shaking her head back and forth wildly before he could finish his statement.
I held my breath and waited to see what she would do next. That news could either send her running into hiding like her girl had suggested or it could send her into shock. Either way she’d know that it was pointless to try to hide from me. Maybe from a lesser being she would’ve stood a chance.
It almost broke my heart though when she tried calling out to her mother without any luck. Maybe her parents were playing hide and go seek with her the way mine were with me. She looked lost and alone as she dropped down on the edge of her bed.
