My chimera mate

the myth

Miane's POV

"So grandpa I think we're all dying here to know what that book is about? Why it's so important, what are the instructions for?" I bombarded him with my question anxiously wanting to know what the hell is going on. He laughs at my rambling but I can see how nervous he is. "Well the simple answer to all three of your questions is you, you, and your mate" We all looked at him shocked. "Grandpa, what are you talking about? How can a book that is three thousand years old be about me and Jeandre this makes no sense?" The whole room nods in agreement except for grandma and grandpa. "Miane listen to what he has to say. The books were written by Gods they know all. Just trust him, dear." If it is true it does make sense if a God wrote it. "after the Gods created the book they said that no one will understand the book only one creature will understand it. The sea dragons are supposed to keep the book safe until a unique female creature is born. This creature's mate will be a normal human or other supernatural being but when he marks her and she marks him he will transform into that creature as well. Although he won't be as strong as his mate he will have most of her powers but some will be dormant You will know what to do with this".He says as he hands me the book, " Jeandre jumps up and I can see the sweat dripping from his forehead. "Are you saying that Miane is some other kind of creature and that I to will be if she marks me? I don't know about this. This seems all like some kind of joke. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea."He says as he walks to the door. I can see my dad is skeptical about the story but he could not stand Jeandre talking like that. His voice is hard and it can make anyone bow their head at him when he speaks in his alpha voice."Jeandre, sit back down and listen to what he has to say. You took my daughter and made an oath and now you better stick with it." Tears run down my face as I feel overwhelmed with all this information and the realization that Jeandre just declared that accepting me was a mistake. Sobs tear through my body I can't take it anymore. I run out the door as fast as my feet can carry me until I reach outside. "I want to come out I need to run" stormy howls in my head I can feel her pain, the pain our mate inflicted. "I don't know how to transform yet," I tell her as I continue walking outside. "It's easy it will come naturally just go behind a tree to get undressed and allow me to take control I will take you through it." I do as she says and my first ever shift was painful. I constantly hear Jeandre in my head begging for forgiveness but I don't respond. I wanted to take the book with me so she carried it in her mouth as she ran. I let her run free for a while before I asked her to take me to the waterfall. With the full moon out it was pretty light outside. I transform back to my human form. I tested the water and got in, it felt warmer than the other day. I swam around for a while just crying every emotion out of my body. Every emotional thing that happened to me in these last few days came out at once. I thought I was ok with being raised but someone else but now with all these emotions I can't help but be mad at them for lying. Lying about who my parents were, lying about who and what I was. I was mad at Jeandre for making me trust him making me feel all this love for him with the mate bond, mad at him for not wanting to be with me just because I'm different. I should never have come back here I should have insisted on staying with my adopted parents for the holiday. I took the book and started flipping through the pages while I was still in the water. None of it makes sense. Maybe the myth is not true, maybe the book wasn't meant for me. I try again to understand everything in the book but it's confusing and none of it makes sense. I get frustrated at the book and throw it into the water by the waterfall. " Quite the temper you have there my little water fairy" he speaks from behind me. "You better get away from me. You said all of this wasn't such a good idea so go on just reject me and leave me alone." I say with tears running down my face as I move further away from him. "he undress himself and gets in the water. Oh goddess why did you have to make him so handsome? " Miane, please I'm sorry I didn't mean it. I never meant to hurt you. I just panicked I never should have said those things. I will never reject you. I love you too much." I try to swim away from him but he grabs me by my arm and pulls me closer to him. I try to get away but he's not letting go. "You should have thought about that before you said what you said.You made me feel like a freak" He looks at me with so much love. He plants a kiss on my forehead."No baby, you're no freak.You are special. Chosen by the gods to be something, someone amazing.I will prove to you how sorry I am and that I meant nothing of it.Mark me right now right here, mark me as yours. Your grandfather said when you mark me I will be just like you and then you won't have to do any of this alone. We can figure all of this out together, as a team, as mates." I immediately melt into his arms."Are you sure? I mean are you sure that you want to be with me and be like me? You would do that for me?" I've never felt so safe in my entire life as I did at this moment. "Yes, yes I am sure and for you, I would do anything. I meant every word at the ceremony and I meant every word that I just said. I want to be with you no matter what. Now mark me to be yours and then we have to find that book before your grandfather finds out you threw it away" Marking him felt amazing the rush of adrenaline running through my veins. I wanted to be with him in every way possible. We found the book and still it was undamaged. Must have been a powerful spell. Oh goddess I forgot about my clothes. "Don't worry I brought you your clothes but I mean you don't have to wear them if you don't want to " he pointed at them while he winked at me. Oh goddess help me.
