Chapter 188: The Story Of Fire And Ice {9}

"Fear not magical creatures... your Guardian is only just mated"

"WHAT?!" They roared.

’Did he just say that out loud?’ Yelena thought panicking, she knew now Nicklaus was a very blunt man. Oh no! She didn’t wanna tell them like this... look at how stunned they are now, gods Nicklaus!

"M-Mate?!" Ava panicked, placing her paw on her cheeks and drawing on it like she was losing it.

"Isn’t that the v-v-vampire god?!" Puma said shaking, their Guardian was mated to MAGNUS!!!

Yelena pulled away from Nicklaus, shooting him a look before facing the gang. "Guys relax I can ex-"

"We won’t let you take her!" Gideon said, stepping forward.

"Gideon what do you think you’re doing!" Ava hissed at him.

"Don’t good anything stupid!" Puma scolded him.

"You guys know what this means right he’s gonna take her away from us" he snapped at them and they froze at his words knowing he spoke the truth.

"Yes, I intend to do that" Nicklaus said in amusement, his intense gaze on the small Fox.

"Nicklaus!"

Nicklaus walked to the Gideon who subconsciously backed away, he squats before him and Gideon held up his paws in a fist and the go.

"Some brave Fox you’re" he commented.

"Nicklaus please don’t scare him away," Yelena said.

"Do not worry love, I don’t intend to do that... but they should come to that understanding that one day you would leave, you can’t be here for them forever" he said firmly.

At his words, Gideon lowered his fist and his ears dropped.

"I haven’t said I was leaving with you," Yelena said, crossing her arms over her chest, the next Nicklaus was up facing her.

"What?!"

"I said I haven’t agreed to leave with you yet" she shrugged before walking towards him but she passed him leading the gang away.

"Come on guys"

Nicklaus scoffed at her actions, but he seemed intrigued, how he loves a challenge, and Yelena was just that fire his ice was willing to meet.

☆☆☆

"Is it true Yelena? That you’re mated to Magnus, the vampire god!" Ava said, still finding it hard to believe. The news still made her unsettled because she knew of Magnus’s nature.

She took a deep breath. "Yes Ava it’s all true"

"This is crazy, is mother goddess aware you’re mated to him?" Gideon asked, wondering how she took it.

"It all happened so fast" she confessed, relieving their sessions, it did happen fast.

"Wait, Mother goddess doesn’t know?!" Puma said with wide eyes.

"Does he even know who your mother is?" Gideon intoned.

Yelena bit her bottom lip.

They gasped coming to realization. "Lady Yelena you know how your mother goddess feels about the vampires, she dislikes them"

"I know I know" she sighed deeply. "I will..." she sighed once again. "I will tell her in due time, him too I just need time"

"Will you really leave when it’s time?" Gideon asked sadly, she squatted to him patting his head and he leaned in her touch, Yelena was always gentle and caring to them, it would be so sad if she left them, it won’t be the same without her.

"I don’t know yet... it’s all too fast, there are things..." she paused. "We might be mated but I feel I should get to know him better, it all just seems just fast. He wants to grasp me away to his Realm and make me his Empress" she rolled her eyes knowing it was not gonna be that simple.

"We knew a day like this would come, a day when you would find your mate" Ava said with a smile against her lips.

"Yes, but we never thought it would be Magnus!" Puma said.

"He’s not as dangerous as you guys think" she reasoned.

"Have you seen his eyes?" Gideon said with a shiver rubbing his paws on his arms. "They are so cold"

"He IS dangerous and we’re worried for your well-being" Puma uttered.

"Be careful Yelena, we don’t trust him" Ava said sternly.

Yelena forced a smile, she didn’t expect this to go well from the start, Nicklaus was a dangerous god by nature, everyone knows his tale and his ways, and she was just mated to him, definitely not what she expected. But still... a smile crossed her lips.

☆☆☆

Yelena walked towards Nicklaus seated on a bed like he was resting, staring at him from this angle and his calm features, he was simply breathtaking, he seemed too good to be true, his raven hair, dark and moist, she could still remember how she trailed her hands on them during their sections, it was wide and intense and she loved it., Most especially those green eyes of his that held wonders, the colors in am mix and how they sparkled whenever he gaze upon her was just magical.

"Let me guess your animals don’t like me" he stated. Breaking her out of her trance.

"They just love judging people that’s all" she shrugged in response hoping he wasn’t too bothered by it.

"Well... not seeking their approval", in a blur he was before her. "I WILL take you" he adds in a serious tone.

"If you really think I would go with you that easily then you’re wrong"

"What must do before I can have you"

Their gaze locked on each other, intense and hot, no words were said, the passionate tension filled between the two.

"I’m yours already," she said faintly.

"Not completely" he mouths huskily, trailing his hands on her waist, and a shiver trailed her spine. "Not until I have you, on my bed, naked and begging me to devour you"

A rush of desire flushed through her body at his hot words, he was a man with certainty in his words and she knew that now and he has proved it. She went on her tiptoes brushing her nose on his, a gesture that fascinated him, he leaned in for a kiss, her lips merely inches apart.

"Ahem!"

Nicklaus growled facing whoever interrupted them this time, and they found Celeste and Alaric before them.

"So this is the maiden who kidnapped my dearest brother," she said with a smirk.

"And you’re?"

"What are you two doing here, I made it clear I’m not returning to the Realm anytime soon, so be gone!"

"Feisty as always brother"

"Come on brother, Celeste almost nailed me to the grave too soon as she threaten that I should bring her here"

’These are the siblings’ Yelena thought with wide eyes. ’The three siblings born of great things graced powers unimaginably’ she gulped, she was actually before them, she couldn’t believe this.

"Hello Yelena," Celeste said with a sweet smile. "I’m Celeste Darkmore"

"H-Hi" she replied nervously before her eyes trailed to Alaric who she was familiar with, he gave a soft smile.

My eyes were saddened because I could see it in his eyes, how could I not see it until now, my mind drift to that day.

☆☆☆

"I thought there were only white flowers in this Realm," I said amazed, there were even roses, Alaric had taken me to the flower house to see colored flowers.

He raised an eyebrow. "Where did you think they got the flowers you used in planning your ball?"

"Well I thought they had to descend the Mortal Realm for it"

"Nonsense! They got it from here"

"I’m glad to know that, at least I have a more interesting view to look upon other than boring white flowers" I rolled my eyes.

And Alaric’s smile broadened, his eyes shone slightly and I could see the purple mix in them.

"I see you still love flowers," he mused.

My eyes narrowed. "Tell me Alaric, did we know each other? In my past life" I asked curious about that theory.

He did prolonged thinking but I knew he was intentionally doing it. "Well as Nicklaus told you my tale... did he also tell you my incident with a maiden that was mated"

"Yes"

"And how Nicklaus was so pissed and threaten to destroy me"

"He did not say that"

"I see she left the important details then"

"Well in the chase I stumbled upon a Realm... which was yours"

"So we did meet and then you said we haven’t" I intoned.

"Surely you do not justify that as a meeting?" he raised an eyebrow. "An encounter with someone special is a one thing event especially when you see that one gem for the first time, it’s considered magically and not to be interrupted"

"Are you saying I’m special?" I mused. He certainly has his way with words.

He looked serious and then I saw something in his eyes I couldn’t quite place but for some reason, I think I found the meaning in it, for it was identical to the way Nicklaus looks at me.

"I’m saying you’re the most shimmering belle that I have ever set my eyes upon"

My lips fell apart slightly at his words, our gaze on each other for what seemed like minutes and then I knew just then.

He quickly looks away, seeming to realize what he has just done. "I shouldn’t have said that," he said in a whisper but I heard him, his jaw tightened and his fist clenched.

☆☆☆

Even then and now, My lips pressed in a thin line. I finally understood how Alaric feels.
