Chapter 459 - Mercy

Avian lay beside Onyx in silence but it was a comforting one. He knew very well he was letting his guard down and letting the mating bond and his heart control his rational thinking but he wanted to enjoy it for just one night, he wanted to feel her in his arms and enjoy the warmness of her body beside him but in the back of his mind he wanted to leave, knowing it was the most logical thing to do because he couldn't risk getting distracted by her when they were on the verge of a disastrous war 'but one night with her wouldn't hurt' he thought inwardly as he admired her red hair sprayed on the bed and on his chest while he brushed it with his fingers feeling the softness of her lush thick hair.
