“You have more faith in me than I do.” He sighed and rested his head back. “This darkness has a hold on me. I had to fight it every day before and will always have to fight it. It is worse now. What if I lose?” He stared up at the ceiling with his l!ps pursed. “Is this how demons are made? What if I become the very demons I fight against?”
“Everyone has some type of darkness and demons they fight. Some more prominent than others. You dont have to fight yours alone. Im with you and I will help bring you to the light. And if you ever get swallowed up by the darkness, Ill follow you there and lead you back to the right path.” I leaned up and cupped his cheeks in my hands. “I already showed you that you didnt need to fear yourself with me. And that turned out pretty alright.”4 smiled, biting my l!p thinking about last night.
“You mean amazing.” He said, curling his l!ps up.
“Right… it was amazing. It was much better once you quit holding back and worrying. It is your fear of yourself that will consume you. That is your real darkness.” I moved in and k!ssed his l!ps as my stomach yelled angrily, reminding me that I was on the verge of starvation. Sion chuckled and moved to sit up.
“Lets get you fed.” He moved off the bed and walked over to the door.
“Sion!” I hissed, looking at his na*ked body.
“They left us clean clothes outside of our door. I told Conner to get some and leave them there.”
“Oh.” I smiled as he cracked the door open enough to retrieve the garments, bringing them over to me. Honestly, we needed fresh clothes.. badly. I reached out for the clothes as I felt a burning pain in my back. I kept my expression controlled because I didnt want to alarm Sion.
The mark on my back had a strange energy creeping inside of me. It was dark, but strangely, I found it comforting. I wasnt intimidated by the dark like Sion was. I was embracing it. I guess it was different for me though because I associated it with Sion. Since he was the one who gave me this mark. Also, I think my body was already familiar with it since I attached myself to his soul.
Which is still a bit creepy when I think about it.
Especially when I never planned to do it.
Inwardly, I had to laugh. Sion thought he the monster, but I was the one who laid claim to his soul. Maybe l was meant to be a soul collector?
At least I was Sions soul collector. I couldnt help the smirk that crept over my face as I finished getting dressed.
“What?” Sion asked, looking at me with a crooked grin.
“Nothing I was just thinking.” I smiled, biting my bottom l!p.
“About?” He asked, reaching out to place his hands on my h!ps.
I shrugged and looked into his eyes. “You dont think I am a monster, but I attached myself to your soul without even asking. I didnt even know what I was doing,. I just did it. I was already a soul collector before you marked me.” His eyes looked warmer as his hand moved up my back. “I collected yours… does that make me a monster?”
“How could you ever be a monster?” His fingers were how tracing over my neck.
“Want to go find Hazel and ask her? Or poll most of the Sulfur pack.” I watched as he scowled, hot finding what I said amusing. “My point is.. there are more things that point to me having a darkness than you. If you are going to call yourself a monster, then you must call me one as well.” His eyes smiled at me as he leaned his forehead against mine.
“I love you so much.” He nuzzled his nose against mine.
“I wonder if Reapus was just saying you shouldnt mark me again because he wanted you to take multiple mates?” I looked at him and watched his eyes darken.
“Never going to happen, but I dont think that was it. I felt a weird spiraling sensation inside of me, but you stopped it immediately.
“I did?” This was news to me. I didnt feel anything weird in that sense.
He smiled at me as his nose traced over my cheek. “Yes, your energy inside of me stopped it as soon as it started.” His l!ps brushed against my skin and his eyes trailed to my l!ps. “Im getting hungry…” I could see where this was going. Not happening.
“Unless you want me to die of starvation and start our life in the spirit realm early, I need real food.” His l!ps landed on the tip of my nose and then he swooped me into his arms.
“Sion!” I gasped, wrapping my hands around his neck.
“l cant have you expending unnecessary energy. l need to treat you like the queen you are.” He said as he carried me out of the room.
“Sion! Put me down.” I hissed, tapping his shoulders while he laughed. He raced down the stairs and I giggled as he paused at the bottom. You dont know which way to go… so put me do” He sprinted down the hall with a wide toothy grin.
“You act like I dont have a sense of smell.” He laughed as he charged us into the dining room where everyone was already seated for breakfast.
“Hurry! She needs food immediately. She is in imminent danger of starvation.” He voiced boisterously, making everyone in the room laugh.
“Here…” Kai said, moving a plate of stuffed french toast across the table. “Ill wait for the next batch.”
“Ill remember your sacrifice.” Sion continued to tease, as he lowered me into a seat. “Here, let me feed you.” I laughed and swatted his hand away. He grinned and took the seat next to me as a fresh stack of pancakes and more french toast was set on the table.
“I trust you slept well?” Conner asked with a smirk. I looked down and concentrated on the food in front of me. I could feel my ears getting hot and knew my colorful embarrassment was all over my face.
“Did you find out which way that wolf went from last night?” Sion asked, changing the topic for my benefit.
“They went in the direction we already assumed,” Denny said, and I looked up between the two men.
“Which direction? What pack were they from?” I asked.
“It was a member of the Diamond pack. We are fairly certain about this but not sure why.” Jude said, staring at his hands.
“I think they are watching what is going on here. After all, their beta was here when the fire happened…” Joey said, glancing up at Jude. The fire that had killed Taylor..
I looked up at Jude. His eyebrows were pursed together as he looked down at his plate quietly. I wonder how he had been handling everything. From finding out Taylor set me up for her being killed. It was no loss for me. However, Im sure it was a lot on Jude.
“I think we can assume the Chance pack has also caught their attention with the odd movement,” Denny said as he looked up at Sion. “Which is probably a good thing..”
