Hao Tieng.
I didn't mean to eavesdrop on their conversation. I had prepared coffee for my mate with all my love when I heard someone else in the office with him. He must've come before we did. So, I decided to come back after whoever was inside was gone but then I heard something that bothered me.
Whoever was inside with MY mate asked him if I was the replacement. That's when my legs got glued to the floor and my ears on the door. The man started yapping about them belonging together, ruling the business world and loving each other, that's when I lost control. I was angry and jealous, so very jealous and before I knew it I was changing.
I felt the scales cover my body, my eyes became colder but I controlled my wings. I didn't want them to appear. I wanted to give whoever was inside a scare, maybe let him think I was a snake or whatever.
When I blasted the door open and found that man shirtless with his lips inches away from MY mate, all I wanted to do was rip his head off. I wanted to crush his skull, watch him bleed then crush his remains into an ice cube but when I strangled him and watched him strangle to breathe, I remembered everything I learnt about my powers and being an Icebreath. How my powers are affected by my emotions. When am sad or happy, stuff around me freezes but when am angry, I get into full kill mode.
I realized what I was doing and was about to let him go, when he started uttering about my grandfather and he disappeared. Who is that man? and How does he know my grandpa? but most importantly What does he want with my mate?
I can't believe I did all that stuff. I feel like a slut. I literally threw myself on him after he told me stop. Handjob not Penetration. Who says that? But it's all Gang Zhi's fault for making me a horny jealous freak who came undone just being seeing my mate's cum all-over my hand. Stupid two months!!!!
We are in his secret room and I remember everything I heard. It's like an ear worm I can't get rid of. The fact that they were lovers irks me and everything else that man said. Cute, innocent and filled with lust. I'm not cute and am sure as hell ain't innocent. I'm hot headed and am feisty and the fact that am not my mate's type kinda hurts and that's why I asked if it was true. I just have to know.
"I hate Lee Dang for getting into your head like that." he says while giving me fresh pants and boxers. So that's his name. Lee Dang. Why does it sound so familiar? "I don't have a type and if I did it would be hotheaded, feisty, blue eyes and an Icebreath."
"Really?"
"Really. Now, stop being so insecure. We should go back before Yung Jen scolds both of us." he said and I totally agreed with him. I know my mate only loves me, no-one else.
*********
After that day, work went on pretty smoothly. GangZhi and I came to work everyday together, at first it was a hustle since we wanted to be together all the time so I moved out of my apartment and moved in with him and his family. It might be too early but we were going to live together anyway after the mating ritual.
Living with The Chens was amazing although it was only four of us in the house since Quang Ho had to go back to Hong Kong and Yung Tang to Shanghai, it was me, Gang Zhi, Yung Jen and Mrs. Chen plus the help, who have their own quarters , it was only on weekends when the huge mansion was full.
Mrs. Chen left in the morning after breakfast to check on her people, she said her most trusted was taking over as temporary King and came back in the evening before dinner on weekdays. On weekends all the four siblings were together with their mother and I was in the room I share with Gang Zhi, sleeping. After an entire week of working non-stop, all I did on weekends was sleep until Gang Zhi wakes me up to eat. He's the best.
I later found out that Lee Dang owned Lee Mesmerizing Designs which meant he is the guy who left me girlfriend-less and because of Gang Zhi his company lost all his investors, clients and ran bankrupt. I guess that's what you get for messing with MY mate. We never found out how he knew my grandpa but we never stopped thinking about it. We asked my mom, who I visited every Sunday to train and just be with my family and of course GangZhi was with me, but, she said she never knew about grandpa's interactions and we tried getting in touch with grandpa but he didn't answer anything so we decided to wait for him to come back since he visits once a year.
For the past two months that has been my schedule. Monday to Friday work with Gang Zhi and Yung Jen, we still haven't told anyone other than family about our relationship. At times I missed my bestfriend but we talked all the time, face-timed, called, texted. We did it all, but I still misshim. The good thing is that today I'll be seeing him after two full months. Saturdays, sleeping then spending time with the Chens. Sundays, training and spending time with my family. Training with my mother was hectic, since we trained once a week but it was all worth it. I learnt how to control my powers. I'm a fully trained Icebreath now. No more accidentally frozen creeks for this guy.
Time went by fast. Before we knew it, it was already two months later and today was the awaited day. The day when I become one with my mate. That's right.
We're having our mating ritual today, in a cave where all the mating rituals are held in the Dragon Kingdom and everyone is going to be there to support us. Absolutely everyone but my grandpa.
I'm excited and nervous but mostly excited. I can't wait to become one with the man I love. We're driving to the Dragon territory (my home) and my heart is beating a-mile-a- second.
"Are you okay?" he asked, his left hand intertwining with mine while his right was on the steering wheel. He looks so handsome today, with his hair which has gotten longer, gelled back, black polo neck, jeans and black adidas shoes, which I helped him choose. He looks sexy in black. Plus the gold chain around his neck and the matching watch on his wrist, kinda looks like a sexy mafia boss. I, on the other hand, I'm dressed in blue shorts, white plain t-shirt, plad half-leg-length socks and black Nike shoes.
Yung Jen and Mrs. Chen are in the back. I tried convincing Gang Zhi to let his mother sit infront with him but he bribed me with an offer I couldn't refuse. All that just to avoid sitting with his mother, I thought their relationship had grown better. Makes me wonder if he spent time with her when I was sleeping.
"Yeah, I'm just nervous. It seems like we've been waiting forever for this and now, it's finally the day."
"Okay, okay, okay. Before you two get all sentimental and start weeping, let's first reach where we're going." that was Yung Jen and she true. I was getting emotional. "I can't believe brother found his mate before me. At this point, I feel like Ted Mosby. Waiting for The One who I have to say is taking his/her sweet time showing up. Brother could you speed up. Everyone is already there even Quang Ho and he had to travel 2000 miles."
" If you're dying to reach there, open the window and run there. I don't plan on killing my mate and Mrs. Chen." he said and Yung Jen didn't utter another word till we reached. It's funny how they always bicker over the smallest things and,he still calls his mother Mrs. Chen?
I checked the time and it was 11:00a.m. and in eight hours when the moon is at its peak.
I'll become one with my mate.
