Lexi felt her face burning at his gaze on her." Please don't look at me like that Kian" she said in a shy voice." Why, do you still feel shy?" He asked ." There's a way I can take all that shyness away you know" Lexi eyes almost popped out of their sockets at what he was saying.
His hands also followed his words, slowly creeping to the back of her dress. His hand settled on the zipper and Lexi held her breath. She placed he hands on his chest." Kian , what are you talking about?" She said in a naive tone. "I'm talking about love making my dear" Kian shamelessly said.
"Don't worry, after this all your shyness will disappear" he added." Oh no, it must be my tear" she thought.
Lexiana Vertritz was the daughter of the king of Mountain Gale. Mount Gale, as called by many finds itself in the coldest part of the mountains north of Zenid Country. The people of Mount Gale were noted for their flawless pale skin, jet black hair, shapeshifting abilities with healing powers and spell casting. However it was different families in the country that determined their ability.
The only ones who possessed almost all the abilities at once were the royal family who had pure white hair and skin paler than the normal country folk. The Vertritz family reproduced easily but finding the right bond was always the problem.
A bond is a destined soul mate . So they would have to travel around and fate would unite them and their bond. Their souls would merge to become one and when the merging was done, the royal would return back to the kingdom with his or her bond.
But one thing that made the Mountain Gale people so unique was and rare was their healing ability. Their tears were the source of healing. With the royals however, their tears also served as an aphrodisiac.
This was so that if a royal was not in love with his or her bond, they would taste each other's tears and of the bond was not a royal, he or she would be the one to taste the tears of the royal.
Once this happens, a spark will be ignited between them and they will have sexual relations and start having feelings for each other. They would also reproduce to continue the family lineage.
Fortunately, no such situation had occurred in ages . All the bonds of the royals loved their spouses very much. And the Vertritz family always married within their people. If the bond of a royal has still not been found, In that case they would be allowed to leave the country in search of his or her bond. The royal family did not object if it was a foreigner . As long as it was their bond, they would allow their union.
The trick was that a female could only bear the child of her bond and no one else's. So even if she decided to go against fate and go on with the one she loved instead of her bond, she would remain childless until she died.
But the people were smarter than others thought. In the case of Lexi, she was the youngest then in her family. And she was so curious about bonding and love that she begged and begged her parents to allow her go find her bond.
Her parents were reluctant but allowed her after she turned seventeen. Two of her older brothers who when compared to her, were literally giants because if their muscular build accompanied her on part of the journey.
Before they parted, she was given a lot of advice, bear hugs and gadgets she would need on her trip. Even though she could shapeshift into any creature to travel, they still handed her a hand teleporter. Back in their countries people barely used cars because of their abilities but their technology was beyond advanced.
She watched her brothers both transform into giant golden eagles and soar high in the sky. When she couldn't see them again in the sky, she transformed into a white wolf and began her journey.
After travelling for some days, she came across a small town that thrived with all kinds if technologies. Hover cars and bikes moves on the streets . People with their robotic butlers walked on the sidewalk as they discussed their daily plans.Everything seemed so comfortable.
She was about to love on when she realised she'd been spotted by some hunters. The robots accompanying them started shooting laser beams at her. She dodged them all and began to flee. But after a few minutes they caught up with her. Something told her to transform back to her human form but she felt matters would only get worse if she tried.
Soon they were only a few metres behind her. She increased her pace but then she suddenly got hit in her left hind leg. The pain caught her off guard and she howled in pain as she tripped over.
The hunters were swift and hastily threw a net over her. After tying up the net , they prepared to leave when the air around them changed. Lexi on the other hand was slowly kissing blood and found it difficult to transform back into a human.
The robots became alerted well as the hunters . Nothing happened for a moment then suddenly some birds scattered into the air from a nearby leaflets tree. When nothing happened after that they gradually let their guard down and continued their journey.
They needed to make it to the other side of the cliff before teleporting back to the town. As they moved, they began to disappear one by one. The leader didn't realise until a small sound came from the back and it dawned on him that his men were gone.
He ordered his robots to go and scan the area, careful to keep two of them by his side for protection should anything happen and he found himself outnumbered .
