MIA

They were the words I had dreamed he would say to me, and now that he had said them, I understood completely that words were far too weak to describe the emotions I felt for him. But they were the best we had, so I repeated them back to him over and over again:

“I love you too! I love you, I love you, I love you!”

He got to his feet and was so strong he could pick me up at the same time. He kept his eyes focused on mine as he carried me over the threshold in reverse to what I knew we would soon be experiencing after our own wedding that I knew would be soon to follow.

I ran a finger over the injury he’d sustained to himself at his neck. I saw that he had sliced the soft skin between his scales, almost severing one and dislodging it from his neck completely. Most of the blood had come from that single scale.

It had already stopped bleeding and I doubted it would be long before it had completely healed.

I didn’t even notice my own neck but the fact he hadn’t mentioned it meant it couldn’t have looked too bad.

He carried me onto the shuttle, placed me in the co-pilot seat and took off. He reached over and took my hand as we ascended into the sky, leaving that demonic shack of evil far behind.

“What happened to Flara being your fated mate?” I asked playfully.

“Flara?” he said. “Who’s that?”

I smiled and he added:

“I was mistaken with her. Very mistaken. I realize that now.”

“How do you know you’re not mistaken now?”

He grinned at me. “Because I finally know what love is and you taught it to me. If there’s a force greater than what I feel right now it would destroy me.”

He kissed my fingers.

“You fill me with so much love that it makes me glow like a newborn sun. So close to death that it’s right next door. You are my fated mate and always will be. And that changes everything.”

In that, we were in agreement and no contract was necessary.
