DUMONT'S P. O. V
Just as I thought we were getting a break, this has to happen. I don't know yet if it's a good thing or a bad thing as I couldn't sense anything at all. I held Herron closer while we watched Lorenzo in a trance. He was communicating with someone or something. I don't know anymore. With everything that's happening lately, it's hard to know.
At least we could hear what he was saying. Though it wasn't much. A minute later, Lorenzo fell on the bed. Thank heavens he was sitting on the bed or he would have gotten hurt if he was standing instead.
In sync, Herron and I jumped and headed towards our mate. I could hear Herron's heartbeat speed up; he was worried just as I was. I felt for Lorenzo's heartbeat and it was fine. Whatever happened exhausted him.
"Is he going to be OK? “Herron asked calmly.
“I guess so, he seems OK just exhausted. "
I answered him while we repositioned Lorenzo on the bed as he was at an odd angle.
Without another word, we both joined him in bed, sandwiching him between us. There was a lot to be said but neither of us knew where to start. So, we just laid there in comfortable silence lost in our thoughts. Which am sure surrounded the events of the past few days.
I wonder who or what those minions served. Why were they after us and what do they want? But why just follow us and not attacking yet. I could sense their master was powerful, meaning they were dangerous and could tear us to shreds any minute they wanted. So why haven’t they?
I felt a hand caressing mine and without looking I knew it was Herron's. I smiled. A sad smile though. This is not how I wanted to spend time with my true mates. Running from what we didn't even know, always paranoid. I wanted to get to know them, especially Herron and apologize for the way I treated him when he came to France during the summer. Then I would take them out on dates, introduce Herron to my coven buy most importantly complete the mating with them.
But now, all of that seems like a wish or a dream. The reality was sour. I don't get to enjoy the time with my mates. The only upside is that they are here with me. We are together. And even though we are on the run, we are in it together. I get to protect them.
"Tonight, “Lorenzo said. It was barely a whisper but I could hear it while Herron couldn't.
“Lorenzo, Lorenzo. “I called while trying to wake him up. Luckily, he heard me and opened his eyes.
Herron moved so that Lorenzo could sit up if he wanted. But he didn't. He just watched us. I felt like bombarding him with questions but kept my silence. Am sure he will tell us what happened.
"Do you need some water? “Herron asked politely.
“ye... s, please. “Lore answered with a slight stammer.
After Herron left, I held Lorenzo and with the cooperation, he adjusted so he was leaning on me. Herron brought the water and sat next to Lorenzo. Looking at him, it was hard to believe that three days ago he hated us. But since the woman visited him that night, he seems to have accepted us. We haven't had time to talk about our relationship or mating but am glad he isn't giving us a hard time anymore.
"The voice said we have to mate tonight,” Lorenzo said. Pulling me from my wandering thoughts.
"Tonight?! “I asked surprised. The woman had said on a full moon, it's not a full moon yet. I could see the question on Herron's face too.
“Yes, tonight.” before I could voice my next question he continued.
"It said that the full moon was not necessary. Also, if we don't do it tonight, I would lose you two. “
I could hear the confusion in his voice, see it on Herron's face. Why doesn't the full moon matter now? It was important when the woman visited us. It was a necessity for our mating.
In a few minutes, we fell into silence. Lost in our own thoughts. This wasn't right. Who or what was that Voice anyway? Why are the fates giving us confusing information? If we are as important as the woman said then shouldn't the fates protect us? Why do we have to run from what we don't know, then receive contrasting guidelines? ARRRRGH! This is frustrating.
"I don't know what that voice was, but one thing am sure of is that I don't want to lose my true mates. Not now after so long. Not ever. “Lorenzo said in a determined voice.
“But the woman said we must mate on a full moon night. She said it was necessary. “Herron said. He had a very valid point, and so was Lorenzo.
They both faced me. Waiting for my input. Waiting for me to choose aside. It's not even a few days and this is happening. Why is our mating even being decided on by other people or things? Can't they just leave us alone to work on our relationship and decide when we want to consummate our mating bond?
"Both of you have valid points. “I looked at them, trying to choose my words carefully. Wanting them to know am not choosing a side, just speaking my mind.
“But I think we should find out everything or even a little more information about the Furies and the Guardians before we Mate. “as soon as I said that, Lorenzo stood up and started pacing.
“Oh, so we wait Huh? What if we don't learn anything in those books? “he was getting angry.
“We won't know until we try Lore. “I answered.
“Why don't we just mate and read later? I don't want to lose either of you. Have you seen how big those books are? It will take us forever to complete.! “he was almost shouting now.
“Calm down Lo, between the three of us we will be done by midnight. And that's enough to time to find something out and decide. “I told him. Herron didn't say anything he was already going through one of the books.
“Why the f**k are you telling me to calm down? This is an emergency. Why waste time? Let's just mate already. “His wolf was taking over.
I get that Wolves are protective of their mates, but I can't just let us do this blindly.
“No Lore, we are reading first. “He looked at me then walked towards the door. He opened his mouth to say something but then just huffed and left, banging the door behind him.
Ugh!
