Chapter 14
"Aaaahhhh…." That was Ona's long last gap.
She couldn't believe her fate. She thought
her ancestors were playing some tricks on her. First, it was Kalus, the most
charming and charismatic man she had ever encountered and fell in love with,
and now fate brought her something she couldn't tell what it was.
The tips of her fingers were already numb
when she tried to grip the broad, heavy, and strong shoulders of a man to push
them away from her.
Because what the hell was going on?
The man she thought was her destiny, the
man she had dreams about, and the man who came to rescue her just turned his gray
steel eyes into glowing black ones, and not only that, his teeth became a blade
to her neck.
Zephyrus held gently the back of her head
loving how the texture of her hair felt against his large palm with the other
arm wrapped around her slim waist, making sure she was feeling secure.
Her blood was so tasty that he couldn't
bring himself away from Ona's neck even though he knew that it would kill her
if he didn't stop.
Fuck…. He groans with annoyance.
Her blood tasted delicious.
He could hear her heartbeat still beating
so strong and healthy. He pulls away from her.
His glowing black eyes turn to normal
color, with his large tongue engulfed with Ona's blood licking off the last
blood on his lower lip and the corner of it. He groans at the taste then licks
the wound of his fangs he left on Ona's neck and watches it turn into a
beautiful spiral black mark on her dark chocolate brown skin tone.
"Mate," Zephyrus mutters feeling Ona's body
weight becoming heavier, but to him, her weight it was nothing. The weight it
was evidencing that Ona was in deep sleep.
Zephyrus shifted his head and had a stare
with admiration facial expression on Ona's face.
He thought Ona is gorgeous, pretty,
gracious and sublime that he wants to protect every seconds.
He smiles, smiles, and smiles then brings
his lips onto Ona's.
"Mine," he says with an endearing croaked,
ruffle, deep and rumbling voice.
Zephyrus laid Ona on the car seats and
hopped out of the car to meet Zyphyr on the way.
"What's next?" Zyphyr asked.
Zephyrus had this endearing smile that he
couldn't conceal from Zyphyr.
Zyphyr was curious and wanted to ask how it
was to mark the mate.
Zephyrus was 24 years and Zyphyr 26 years,
only 2 years of age difference. The brothers who never cared much about women.
Zyphyr once tried to be in a relationship with another woman from his kingdom
but he couldn't bring himself to continue so he distanced himself from all the
ladies.
Zephyrus never even bothered to look at
them. The 3 years of him dreaming about his mate, had occupied all his mind and
his beings. Ona was only his focus.
"I think we wait," Zephyrus said after he
brought his face to firm.
Zyphyr stole a glance at his little brother
then fuck it, he asked, "How does it feel to mark your mate?"
"Everything you have imagined, dreamed, and
fantasized about, that's how it feels. The taste and the smell of her blood was
trailing, running around in my mouth, and my tongue and making it hard for me
to pull out my fangs with the delicious scent that filled my nostrils, the only
thing I was breathing was her blood scent mixed with her delicious scent. I
couldn't remove myself that easily from her and now I could still feel her
blood linger in my mouth. It's everything," Zephyrus said with dreamy eyes
making Zyphyr turn his head to the car he was driving.
Zyphyr couldn't wait to mark his mate but
he knew the process might take longer. The photos he saw were enough evidence
to make him feel that way.
Zephyrus abruptly whimpered crossed his
right arm to his stomach and led groans escapes his lips.
"Fuck what?" Zyphyr was trying to help him
not to fall to his knees on the ground.
And Zephyrus became still like nothing ever
happened to him.
"I think I was receiving the teleportation
enigma," Zephyrus said before he received a burning sensation on his neck. The
spiral. "Shit, I think it's time."
Zephyrus quickly picked up Ona from the car
and put her on his shoulder making Ona's body cross his broad shoulder, head
falling, hair along with her legs, and walked to Zyphyr's car.
"Let's teleport the ladies first, then
their belongings and we will come back for Vyn and the rest," Zephyrus said.
Zyphyr grasped Nia's hand along with Clio's
and Zephyrus grasped Zyphyr's shoulder and the only area Zephyrus could paint
in his mind it was his bedroom.
He shut his eyes and in a second, they got
teleported in Zystyria Kingdom inside his bedroom.
"It worked," Zyphyr sounded so happy. "Help
me put this lady in the guest room."
Zephyrus was done laying Ona on his bed so
gently and lay the blanket on her body then grabbed Clio to the guest room
downstairs.
Zephyrus's bedroom and Zyphyr's they were
far apart from each other. He laid Clio on the bed in the guest room strode out
of speed motion and found Zyphyr waiting for him before the door. Zephyrus
grabbed Zyphyr's hand and teleported back to the cars.
They gather the belongings in one place and
teleport back put them in the staff room and teleport back to the location
where they left Vyn, Lyrien, and Zarek knowing they wouldn't be far. The two
brothers had the speed ability but it wasn't reaching them far and they didn't
want to risk by shifting under the broad daylight and getting caught, even
though they were on the forest aisle.
They started running and gradually
increasing their paces and nose flaring.
*****
Ona let her eyes open, with light, cooing
and feeling her body so light. Something in her was settled, with all the
scenes a few minutes ago making her mind feel like it was all a dream.
But it was not, she wasn't that gullible in
her mind. The surrounding it was new to her eyes. Her eyes opened even wider
while inclining her body slowly. She was supposed to be scared but couldn't
help not to admire how the room was beautifully decorated with all the
furniture inside and how bright it was.
She let her legs fall to the soft floor
rug, and loved the texture of it under her feet, with all the memories of
minutes ago flashing in her head but she chose to shrug them away.
The dark brown flooring stone gives her
nostalgia.
"Nia," her mind came back quickly.
Her legs were pointing in the direction of
the door, but she halted. She didn't know what she was going to encounter out
of the room, she didn't know what was going to welcome her. The man she thought
he was there to rescue was no normal human being like her.
Of course, his eyes and the feeling of the
teeth gnawing deeply and painfully in her skin were playing in her head. Does
he want to assault me too? But even with her questions and memories of that
man where reeling in her head, her heart and feelings were opposite. The
feeling in her heart was giving her security and assurance that everything was
okay.
She found herself being compelled by the
immersive bathroom, with the enchanting forest theme. She walked slowly and her
eyes widened with her heart beating so fast. The flower she saw in her dream.
She walked closer to the flowers, touched
them, and inhaled their powerful sweet scent. The scent gave her clarity that
she was in the safest place and nothing would harm her.
Before she could walk to the enormous dark
brown bathtub made of stone, she heard loud male voices coming through the
bedroom door. One of the voices was familiar giving her strong knots in her
stomach and hearing how close it was becoming.
Ona scrunched her nose firmly and brought
her arms to her chest then crossed them. Her face was enough to make a person
bow down.
She watched the door handle go down and,
"Princess?" the deep, baritone, rumbling voice sent shivers down her spine and
to her breasts. Her nipples became hard.
"Don't call me that," Ona said in a quick
and bored tone and swiftly passed Zephyrus.
The image of Zephyrus portrayed before her
eyes was something she was not ready to encounter. Yes, she saw Zephyrus
minutes ago, but her mind was still hazy from the slumber. The Zephyrus her
eyes caught now, did something magic in her insides.
Zephyrus was built differently from all the
men she had ever encountered. His broad, large, tall, warm white skin and the
hair, gosh the hair Ona loved how wet, pitch-black, ruffled, and the bob length
it was they looked, with the tattoos all over his body making him more
different than ever.
Zephyrus was so ridiculously handsome in
Ona's eyes that she felt something she didn't want to feel, and it even
confused her more as to why she had to feel those after the tremendous
experience she experienced.
Of course, she remembered all of that, but
somehow she was confused as to why she felt emotionally healed along
physically.
Her hand was restricted but gently. Her
eyes widened even more while staring deeply at the piercing gray steel eyes.
"I won't hurt you, Ona, please trust me and
I'm sorry for what happened minutes ago, I was not given a chance to explain
myself first so please, give me a chance to explain myself to you," Zephyrus
kneeled before her.
Ona felt her heart would jump out of her
body but instead, her tears fell to Zephyrus's strong nose at the peak of it.
Zephyrus didn't want to see his Ona
crying. He quickly got up, picked her up, put her to bed, no on his broad,
warm, and strong chest, and wrapped his arms around her body.
