Chapter 17
Hydrus
“What the bloody hell where you thinking?” I yelled at Fenrir.
“What the Fuck do you mean what was I thinking?” Fenrir yelled back.
“You know exactly what I am talking about,” I replied simply.
“Oh so you think you know everything,”Fenrir responded childishly.
“Look you know what you did was wrong and it made Chris pass out. Her other mates are not supposed to be involved right now but one had to step in because you are being childish and putting Chris and I at risk.” I explain.
Sighing Fenrir sits and rubs his face. “I do not know what has come over me. I have never felt like this before.” Fenrir says softly.
“When did this start?” I ask.
“I stopped coming back to our Realm after you refused to be with me. I stayed here and put everything I had into this Realm so I had a distraction from the loss of you and Chris. I lost a part of me when Chris was put away for something she did not even do. But when I found you a part of me felt alive again. I understood why you could not keep going with me. But the Vow I took was to give Chris hope and for her to know I was not abandoning her. I am sorry I could not give all of me to you. I am also sorry for not mating you like I should have.” Fenrir explained.
“You have not been back to our Realm for 200 years? No wonder you are so out of sorts. I did not understand then because I thought you were making excuses to not mate me fully. My mom actually told me everything about the Vow. I am sorry I pushed you away, you deserved better then that. But I can make it up to you but not yet. We have your punishment to deal with and you have to go back to our Realm for a month.” I explained.
“I know. I just wish it did not have to happen at this time. Everything that is going on in the Kingdom and then Chris is pregnant. I feel so lost and out of control. “Fenrir says as he stands up.
“No one said you could not visit or be there for the birth. This is not a punishment, this is so you can be yourself again. The Poisons of this Realm have affected you. The fact that you think you slept with that Isobel should prove my point. She is not your Mate and there is no way you could have physically been with her.” I said following him.
“Yes I was with her. I have memories of it and I wish I could wipe them away, and wipe the pain away from Chris as well. Maybe being here for so long made the Vow mute or something.” Fenrir said as he started gathering body parts and piling them in the center of the Arena.
“I do not believe that one bit. Maybe about the memories but I can not believe that being here would mute a Vow that is as old as time and unbreakable. But the truth will come out eventually..” I said while watching Fenrir work.
Christiana
I feel a feather light kiss on my head and I can hear Hydrus kissing but then I black out. I wake up later starving and needing the bathroom. I try to get up but an arm has trapped me. I look over to see which of my mates it is attached to and it is neither of them. I gasp and immediately the man wakes up. It is one of my mates just one I am not supposed to have right now.
“Where are Fenrir and Hydrus?” I ask.
“Hydrus is making Fenrir clean the arena.” He says chuckling.
“Why?” I ask.
“What were you feeling before you blacked out?” He asked me.
I thought back to how I was feeling and said, “Anger, confusion, and disgust. But I do not know why.”
“Between the anger Fenrir was feeling about losing that Alpha you had talked about and realizing that he really had been duped by werewolves. Especially when he is the actual Lord of Beasts. But he has become extremely complacent over the past 300 years.” He explained.
“Ok so you covered the anger what about confusion?” I ask
“The confusion was from feeling my presence on the balcony. I purposely let him know I was there to distract him. The man standing next to me in that arena was not supposed to be there. He is an Alpha’s son and was set up to go to that party. He wanted nothing to do with the party but was threatened to be stripped of title and power if he refused. So he is innocent of everything he is being accused of. Fenrir refused to listen to him when he tried to tell him. This took place after Fenrir told you to leave. I showed up right after you left. I was going to follow you but I had to investigate what was happening. He should not have sent you away. If I had not been paying attention and did not warn him you would have been kidnapped by that Alpha that night.” He says.
I nod in acknowledgment of the pure soul I felt then ask, “The disgust?”
“Well that one is a little tricky to answer. Fenrir and I have a history and it is not all pleasant. I will not get in to that right now. But he saw Hydrus and I kissing while Hydrus was holding you. When you blacked out I went down and grabbed the Alpha son and transported him to his pack and brought his father and the rest of the idiots involved. It caused some chaos but Fenrir handled it.” He said.
“But why did I black out?” I ask.
“Fenrir was hurting you through the bond and Hydrus couldn’t take all the force of it from you. So your body shut down to prevent any damage to you and the babes. When the babes are born I will be dealing with him after we have mated. For now I want you to make sure you listen to your forms and stick close to Hydrus. Take a trip and meet his mom. She would love to finally meet you and being in the Grey Realm will help you as well. But for now lets get you fed and you can go use the bathroom.” He said.
I blushed and he chuckled. He moved his arm and I got up and ran to the bathroom. While I used the bathroom I asked my forms if what the man said was true. They confirmed it and also told me to be wary of Fenrir. He is not intentionally trying to hurt me but he is not fully in control right now. He is going to have to go away to the Fae Realm for no more then a month. I feel immense sorrow over this but I know it must be done to help him. I finish my conversation with my forms then finish up in the bathroom. But just before I leave the bathroom I look at myself in the mirror. It is something I have not done since I transformed. My hair is fuller and healthier, my skin has gray swirls weaving an intricate pattern all over including my face. My boobs are huge and so is my butt. I have grown at least six inches as well. I glance down at my belly and notice that it has gotten big. But I know I will need to feed them power again soon. I will have to find out if I should allow Fenrir to be apart of that or not. I have a feeling the babes are going to be born within the week with how fast they are growing. I hear my Kelpie chuckling in my mind.
Walking out of the bathroom I find that the man is no where to be seen but I do see food on the table. I sit and inspect every thing. My Lycan comes forward and sniffs the food making sure there is nothing bad. Then my Kelpie expands her senses to see if there is anything that has no scent that is bad. Every thing is clean so I dig in. I am so hungry I ate every thing on the table. I go to grab so juice but I have this feeling that the drinks are not safe. So I go to the bathroom and run the water to get a drink but that water is not safe either. I feel a presence behind me and swing around fast.
“Ugh you scared the crap out of me.” I say to Hydrus.
“What is wrong?” Hydrus asks.
“None of the liquid is safe to drink it contains something that is not supposed to be there. We need to go to the Grey realm. But the babes need you and Fenrir before we can leave. I also need something to drink badly.” I say, “Where did the man go by the way?”
“He came to get me when he realized that someone tampered with the food and drink. He replaced the food before you came out of the bathroom and I am here to give you something to drink. When I leave to finish Fenrir’s punishment, he will be here with you again. I suggest taking advantage of being here and draw power from him for the babes but ask your forms first. They are not his so they may not accept it. But if they do you need to make sure he does not mate you or mark you and you can not do either as well. I do not think your forms will allow it anyways but we just have to be cautious. I will bring Fenrir back once I know you are done and his punishment is over. I love you my beautiful mate.” Hydrus explained.
Hydrus produces a bottle and hands it to me. I take off the top and drink to my hearts content. I hand him the bottle back and say, “Thank you Hydrus and I love you too.”
I hug him tightly and then give him a gentle kiss. Hydrus pulls away and steps back after our sweet kiss. I follow him out of the bathroom and crawl back in to bed. I am exhausted but the babes need their food now. Hydrus stands there watching me as I decide to speak with my forms.
“Anexus, Pheonix?” I call to my Kelpie and Lycan.
“We are here dear. We know what you want to ask. But are you really sure this is the best choice. We know Hydrus recommended it but this man is a different breed and it may change the babes.” They say.
“What am I to do then? Hydrus has to get back to Fenrir.” I cry out.
“Have Hydrus stay with you and your other mate go to him and finish the punishment. He has just a right to punish Fenrir as Hydrus does. He is your mate you just can not be together yet. Because of how Fenrir is becoming we have sped up the process of the babes growth. They need to be safe and they only way to do that is have them born early and get Fenrir in to the Fae Realm.” They say.
“I will tell Hydrus. Thank you Anexus and Pheonix.” I say.
Hydrus sees that there is something wrong and sits next to me. “What did they say?” He asks gently.
“They said that it has to be you. Fenrir can not touch me because of the way he is right now and our other mate is not the same breed and could change the babes. It is not safe for the babes. They said to let our other mate take over the punishment because he has just as much right to punish him as you do. Also the babes are going to be born this week. They had to speed up the growth process because of Fenrir’s decline.” I explain to him.
He calls our other mate and explains to him what needs to happen. He looks relieved that he does not have to risk me. He agrees to finish out the punishment for Fenrir and make sure we have time before he brings Fenrir back. My other mate leaves us and Hydrus and I just stare at each other. Then Hydrus stands and holds out his hand to me. I grab his hand and let him pull me to my feet. He leads me to the bathroom and lets go of my hand. I stand there watching him as he produces water from the Grey Realm and fills the tub. His skills really amaze me sometimes. I thank my lucky stars that I found him when I did. Hydrus finished filling the tub and turned to me.
Slowly walking to Hydrus I stripped off my clothes leaving a trail behind me. I slowly unclothed Hydrus, once I was done I took his hand and slowly guided him in to the tub. We both sat on the bench in the tub and Hydrus guided me so I was back to him between his legs. He ran his hands up and down my arms a couple times then started to massage my tense muscles. After a while I slowly loosened up and sighed. Hydrus made no move to do anything. He was just content staying like this with me. We relaxed a little longer til I started to get impatient. I started rubbing my self against him to tell him I was ready. He took the hint. We did it hard and fast multiple times in the tub each time he knotted me so the babes could get the most out of the power. Then he moved us to the bed room where he took his time savoring me several times til we laying breathing hard and exhausted. Hydrus positioned me on my side and made love to me one more time before he knotted me and pulled the covers over us. I fell asleep in his loving embrace and I finally let go of my worries for the time being.
I awoke several hours later to butterfly kisses being place all over my face. I instantly knew who it was and I flinched. I opened my eyes to see Fenrir looking at me with sadness in his eyes.
