“Did he push for any further information about my powers or sexual awakening?”Stressing, I pulled the hood of my cape over my head.
“Why are you so...wait, has something surfaced?Is that what all of this is about?”Loki and Enyo nudged me.They were tired and wanted the tranquillity of my chamber.
“Noor, I do not wish to be bonded to Xavier.”
“That’s not your decision.Your father...”
“I don’t care what my father believes is right for me.Holy Ether has a different destiny laid out.”
“What destiny?”
“Taking revenge for my mother’s death.”Noor looked at me, bewildered.“I’ve been training to fight.”
“What?By whom?”
“A warrior.”Noor’s eyes widened.“That is all I can say without risking your life.My powers spark when I am around him.”
“Him!Gods, Alora,allthis time you’ve been with amale?”
“He’s sparked my sexual awakening.”
“You’ve laid with him?If Xavier finds out, he’ll kill him!What have you been playing at?”
“I’m yet to be deflowered, Noor.Relax,” I soothed.“I may have done some things with him, though.The things you do with Lito.”
“We shouldn’t be talking about those things!I can’t corrupt your mind with that until you mate with someone.”
“Do you ever wonder why we have that law?”
“No.It’s simply the way we do things.We were created in Holy Ether’s image.We must remain as pure as we can.”
“Howarethings with you and Lito?”The pair of them had been physical for a few years now, but I wasn’t entirely sure how happy Noor was.
“Lito and I are thinking about binding ourselves.It feels like the right time.”
“Are you ready for that?”
“It’s what he wants.”
“What doyouwant?”I questioned, noticing the dim lights of Dallethas in the distance.
“Why does it matter what I want?Lito will provide for me and give me the substance that I need.Seriously, who is this mystery male?Do I know him?He’s gotten inside your head.Have you been with him all these years?”
“No, only recently,” I lied.Noor would work out that Darce was a Noxlin if I wasn’t careful.
“I’m assuming you’ve kissed him if you’ve been doing other things with him.”
“Kissing.Yes, we’ve been kissinga lot.”I couldn’t tell her all the dirty things Darce and I had done to each other.Flashes of his cock in my mouth flooded my mind, and being pinned against a tree with his shadows while his finger rubbed against my core.He’d teased me so much that day, making me beg for my orgasms.
“Please be careful, Alora.If Xavier ever found out, I’m not sure what he’d do.”
“You’re the only one I’ve told.Xavier isn’t going to find out.”
“What about the male?Do you trust him?”
“With my life,” I replied instantly, because Darcehadsaved me.All those years ago, he had taken a chance on me.
He might not be able to give up the male that killed my mother, but I never doubted his feelings.He would give his life for me, and deep down, I felt the same way.
