Nephilim

Chapter 6 pt 2

Morning came to fast. when I opened my eyes on the side of the bed looking at me was the biggest dog id ever seen in my life. He licked my face quickly and jumped onto the bed “Oh my god!” I yelped as he hopped up and down on the bed in excitement. “Benji down.” Taren commanded pushing the giant dog from the bed. I wiped my face and I looked at Taren. “He slobbered on me.” Taren laughed and pulled me on top of him. “pretty sure you liked being slobbered on last night.” I blushed and pushed off him. “you are dirty, and your dog is a bear.” Sitting at the edge of the bed again was benji wagging his massive tail. He laughed again and kissed my cheek. “This is Benji he’s a saint Bernard, not a bear.” I laughed again and held my hand out to pet Benji. “Benji is as big as a bear.” “I don’t think you’ve seen to many bears then.” “nope not at all.” And then we were laughing so hard we could barely breathe. When we finally got out of bed Taren made us breakfast and I made it a point that I was going to do the dinner dishes or at least fill the dishwasher for him. Then we were outside and I was watching as he fed his horses and did a few more of his morning routines. This was very peaceful, I could stay here forever. Benji followed Taren around like a bee and I had to admit I never thought of Taren as a dog guy but I also didn’t think of him as a cowboy either. Oh how wrong I was on that part. He canceled his classes today to spend it with me and I was grateful. Benji sat next to me in the grass and I spread my wings giving a small flap. It didn’t even phase the dog he just laid his hand on my lap. “I guess I might like you little bear.” I said petting his head and his tailed wagged. Taren walked to us from the horses and spread his wings out too. “I think he likes you.” I snorted “ yeah I mean what is there not to like I’m young and cute.” His smile could light up the earth. “wanna fly?” I shook my head enthusiastically and he pulled me up from the ground. I shot up into the air before he even had a chance to say anything else. But he wasn’t more then a second behind me. His wings were powerful even in flight, I’m a really good flier, and fast but I couldn’t hold a candle to how amazing he was. Flying with him was fun and carefree. Pain hit my right wing, a ball of purple shooting right through it, blood soaking my white feathers. Then I was falling. I could barely breathe the pain was so bad. “Melinda!” Tarens voice rang as he dove after me, swooping and catching me cradling me in his arms he dove again this time to the ground landing in what looked like a mountain forest. To be honest though i was in so much pain I could of cared less where we were. I felt the hole widening burning and I screamed, Neph flames. They discinigrate an opponent slowly and painfully, until theres nothing left. Theres no stoping them, I will die here in the arms of my mate at least. “fuck.” What the hell am i thinking I cant die not like this. I screamed again grabbing at my wings. “rip it off Taren, rip my f*****g wing off.” he shook his head andi could tell he was in aggony to feeling every ounce of pain I was. Damn mating bonds. “I wont do that I cant do that to you just hang on.” He took a few steps back and held up his hands blue light radiated through his hands and into me I have never seen anything like it. Slowly the pain disapated and the purple flames dissolving into nothing, until there was was nothing but a gaping hole in my wing. “How did you do that, not even gods can stop the flames!” he didn’t say anything instead turned to face the nephilim men who were now on the ground around us. “Close your eyes Mel I don’t want you to see this.” I tried to stand “Taren you cant fight them alone.” I reached my hand out, he turn his head and I gasped. His eyes were completely black. He put out a hand and I ploped back to the ground. “Baby stay.” He then turned to the men again. “You tried to kill my mate. Now Im going to kill you.” His voice was like a deep growl, and in a flash he was at the first man tearing him in half. Then the next, tearing them all limb from limb. They tried shooting flames at him but all they did was simmer out the moment they touched his body. What the hell is he. He grabed the last man by his throat and lifted him off the ground. “why are you here.” Taren growled and bared his teeth, I wanted to close my eyes I did but there was no way I could. He scared me, fear raking through my body. The man glanced at me and smiled. “The king sends a message.” He choked out, then through a hologram block my way. I crawled to it and swipped my shaky hand over it. A image Daius stood life like in front of me now projected from the block. “Hello Darling did you miss my face? Do you miss your husband? I don’t even have to ask I know you do. Even though your having fun with your human men. Anyways darling I just wanted to tell you, ill see you soon.” He winked and the hologram disappeared. I looked up to Taren rage filling his eyes, they actually looked like they were filled with flames, and that terrified me more. “Taren then shoved his hand through the mans chest pulling his heart from it then blowing that blue light into it, he shoved it back in. “Hurry back to your king and tell him about me tell him if he dares come for MY love he best be prepared to Die. She is MINE.” The words came out on another growl. “After you’ve completed your task well youll find out soon enough.” He chuckled and dropped the man on his ass and turned stalking back to me. The man was gone in an instant. I backed away into the trunk of a tree. Closing my eyes tightly. Then a soft hand grabbed my chin and lifted my face. I open my eyes and was so happy to see Tarens Beautiful blue ones staring back at me, thank the gods. I threw myself into his arms and sobbed. He held me tight against him carful not to hurt my injured wing. “Im sorry I scared you, im so sorry.” His words only made me cry more. I finally pulled back from him “Taren what the f**k was that you took on the guard you killed them your eyes!” I grabbed his cheeks then searching his eyes again. “I never wanted you to see that. Im sorry I lost control.” “control of what!” I screamed now. He sighed looking down, I could feel his hurt on our bond but to be honest I didn’t care I wanted f*****g answers and hes going to tell me. “Mel I have no idea what to say because I don’t even know myself.” I made him look at me now. “We need to find out.” I kissed him then, wrapping my arms around his neck. I knew I loved every bit of him then. Sending all my feelings through the mating bond letting him know i wasn’t going anywhere. He pulled back and gave me a soft smile. “I love you.” He said as he placed another soft kiss on my lips. Then he pulled us up “Im not going to be able to fly.” I said looking at my wing tears rushing to my eyes again. My once beautiful wing was mangled and soaked in blood. “Put them away itll heal them.” He said brushing my one good wing with his hand. “don’t think they will the flames destroy the ability to regentrate.” He sighed “Trust me please Mel it will heal.” I did trust him I trusted him with everything in me. So I willed them closed,I stubbled to my knees from the pain, he caught me though and lifted me into his arms. “your gonna be okay baby I promise ive got you.” Placing a small kiss to my temple. I tried hard not to throw up. Id never felt pain like this before ever. “taren the bodies.” I pointed. “Tearing them apart doesn’t make them disappear.” Then with a motion of his hand their bodies where engulfed in blue flames and just as quickly they were gone. Not even going to lie that was cool. He pulled me closer to his chest craddling me in his arms. “im going to try and be gentle okay?” “okay” I snuggled into his chest and he lifted us into the sky.

He landed softly in his field where Benji greeted us and folded his wings. Carrying me inside, he took us straight into the bathroom. I didn’t protest when he started taking off my clothes and placing me under the spray of the warm shower. I leaned against the wall as he stripped his own clothes and stepped in with me. We didn’t talk as he washed the blood from us both. We stayed under the spray for a while, not talking just enjoying the feel of eachother. After a while we got out and dried off. “Ill be back ok?” I shook my head as he walked out of the bathroom, returning in sweat pants and then pulled a long shirt over my head. “thank you” I smiled. He kissed my head and gathered our bloodied clothes off the floor leaving again. I stood and followed him to the back yard where he placed them in the fire pit burning them. This day was full wonderful things but also so much pain and hurt. I thought about what Daius said and my heart raced again. “what if he found a way out?” I asked fear over taking me. “He cant get out hell take me back hell just for the fun of it torture you and I forever.” I panicked and Taren ran to me pulling me into him. “baby ill never allow that to happen you need to trust that. He wont ever touch you.” I sobbed now. There was no way Taren could stop him, even if Taren is as strong as he is. Daius is clever, extremly clever theres no stopping him when he wants something, And if that something is to make me suffer and break my heart. Well then hell find a way to do it.
