Filed to story: Oh For Mates Sake Free Online??
“I’m not going anywhere with you Reapus.” I heard Sion grOwl. Reapus… as in the Grim Reaper? That was who this stranger was?!
“I need to help you get transporting between the realms under control before you reclaim your mate. Otherwise, you will drag her there with you now that she has connected herself to you.” Reapus answered calmly with a shrug.
“Can’t I stay with him?” Panic seized my insides at the idea of him leaving me again. I lost him once; I couldn’t lose him again. I watched as he shook his head.
“No, you can’t and it is important he masters this. He has the ability to stand between the two realms. Which means he can see and hear what happens in the living but not be seen. Well, most won’t be able to see him.” Reapus’ eyes met with mine as his face grew serious. “It may not seem fair… it may actually seem cruel.. but when the deities can no longer interfere..”
“Oh my you are so dramatic!” A familiar woman’s voice said loudly as a blue light manifested beside Reapus. Her blue hair tossed in the wind as she reached out to poke Reapus in the chest. “This is why you have problems making friends. Quit being so weird.”
“This isn’t your business.”
“Gosh you are still wearing that hat. Do yourself a favor and burn it. It isn’t a good look for you.” I watched as Shiva tried to reach for the hat and was blocked by a wave of shadows.
“If I recall you used to like this hat…”
Okay, I was picking up on an underlying tone there. I watched as Shiva sneered at the death god, her l!ps curling up poisonously.
“The hat was perfect for covering your face.”
The two of them stood there quietly in a stand-off. The uncomfortable aura swirled around us until Shiva finally spoke up again.
“You can quit the dramatics. I know you have a flare for it but enough already.”
“He needs to learn.”
“Before I take Sion with me..” Shiva said in a mocking tone which showed she had been watching us. She clicked her tongue and laughed.
“If that isn’t a flare for the dramatics.” She turned and looked at me as she shook her head. “Don’t mind him he can be a child at times. He will need to borrow your unhinged mate… really you need to work on that. You can’t go mindlessly slashing others…” She said, looking at Sion before she turned to look at Reapus. “But there is no reason you can’t bring bin back and forth between training sessions. Gosh, you act like you can’t instantly teleport between the two realms. That is what I mean by being dramatic.”
I looked over at Reapus, who opened his mouth and then stopped. A sheepish smile curled upwards as he let out a chuckle. He removed his hat, running his hand through his golden hair that had been hidden. “I didn’t even think of that.” I watched as he nodded his head and then looked at Sion.
“It’s settled. I’ll be back for you soon.” Reapus then turned and looked at Shiva. “And we need to chat.” I listened as Shiva scoffed and then the two of them vanished.
For a moment, we all stood there quietly taking everything in. Sion’s hand pressed into my waist as he began to lead me away from the others.
“We need to talk.”
Sion led me away from the others, walking downstream. I was looking around curiously.
Everything seemed.. familiar… but I couldn’t quite place it.
Sion stopped walking and I looked up at him curiously. He let his hand drop from me and looked out into the distance.
“I can’t believe you did that.” His voice whispered out and I felt my body tense. Was he upset with me for agreeing to following him to the spirit realm? It was hypocritical. He would have done the same for me. But when he turned to face me… my heart stopped. His face was full of so many raw emotions. Wet streams were falling from his eyes and my chest hurt for him.
“I never told you…” His voice was strained and croaked as he tried to talk. “I don’t like…” He tapped on his chest and swallowed hard.
“I-I-I don’t like this darkness inside of me. It has always been there waiting to take over. When I lost my parents, I was afraid it was only a matter of time before I lost to it. I feared I would end up in the dark… alone.” His hazel eyes met with mine and a gentle smile reached his l!ps.
“But then I found you. You shared your light with me. You are the sun keeping away the dark.” He took in a shaky breath and shook his head. “You are following me into darkness. How can I be so selfish to take you with me?”
“Sion-“
“Clover, I am so sorry. I can’t refuse the offer. I am selfish. I want you with me. I need my sun. I know I should adamantly refuse your offer.”
His eyes were fixated on mine. “But I can’t tell you how relieved I felt knowing you would be by my side. I’m horrible, Clover. I’m selfish and greedy. You deserve better-“
I couldn’t hear it anymore. He was breaking my heart with how shattered he looked. I grabbed his face and pulled his l!ps down to mine. It was soft, gentle, and poured with my love.
“ld!ot.” I whispered against his l!ps. I smiled and looked into his eyes. “You are an id!ot if you think you could have talked me out of it. You don’t have mind-controlling powers. If you would have refused me, I would have forced you to agree. Remember that in the future. When we get in arguments when we disagree on our children’s names when we are trying to decide what we want for dinner..” I smiled, “You can never win against me unless I allow it.”
There it is… the sweet smile of my mate.
He leaned his cheek into my hands as he k!ssed my palms.
“Thank you for loving this id!ot. I’ll do everything in my power so that you never regret it.”
He k!ssed my palm again as his eyes lifted to me.
Just keep me with you, Sion. That is all you ever have to do.” I listened to his sweet chuckle
“Gods, you see… even that.. you are perfect for me. The greatest gift I will never deserve.” He looked at my neck and frowned. His thumb brushed over the faint mark. “I wish I could reestablish this now…”
I laughed, smiling up at him widely. “I have bound myself to your soul. I don’t think you have to worry about me going anywhere.” His eyes were serious and there was a growing tension in the air.
“l feel very possessive over you, Clover. I can’t promise I won’t do something crazy in the future…”
“Good thing I can control you then.” I grinned. This is what Reapus meant about someone able to put him on a leash. If Sion got out of control, I would be able to command him as a sheya. I needed to practice my powers, so I felt confident in using them.
