The Majestic rising (Finished)

I Cannot lie.

Gabe pov:

This was a disaster, TJ was explaining wrong, she was delicate when it came to how words were used, it was a misunderstanding that was understandable enough, but we were all freaking out, the trust being built was slowly crumbling, it was hard, if TJ had let us explain instead it would not have happened, but it was also not fair that he had to walk around on eggshells. She was touchy and this was not helping, at least she was not warping out of here.

“What do we do?”

Cyllic asked as he looked at the door she had walked out of. He had tried staying as silent as possible, being the one with the worst connection to her, agreeing to wait before he tried establishing one. He was not feeling as hurt as us, but was still sad at the reaction.

“This is a disaster, why would you say it like that TJ, f*****g HELL!!”

Liam was fuming as he was pacing around the room. running his hand through his hair. He was stressed, trying to keep King back.

“She is washing off our scent”

Liam said as he sat down on the couch. He was crying. Alex hugged him.

“It's going to be okay pup”

Said Tyrus as he stroked his head. Breathing slowly trying to stay calm himself. He had built a good trust bond with her now, so I was trying to think off what to do now.

“Any Ideas Tyrus?”

I asked, looking at him from the wall I was leaning up against. Tyrus made eye contact with me. He was thinking as he looked around the room. He took in a deep breath and smiled.

“Actually I do, but it requires Cake, and coffee”

We all looked puzzled, but he was the one who convinced her to come back the first time, and his smiling must mean he knew what he was doing.

“Liam, Gabe and TJ”

Tyrus started, making TJ flinch as he was thinking he was in trouble,

“You write down on pieces of paper how our relationships work. Simple and neat.”

Tyrus said, he was still smiling and was actually enjoying himself?

“Alex, Curt and I will make tea time.”

Tyrus continued, he did have a point, Alex and Curt were once liking to make food and paseries more than the rest of us, but why would Tyrus himself be part of it?

“I know what kind of things she likes, I did study her own kitchen. We will have tea time in the kitchen itself. And Cyllic”

Tyrus went to Cyllic, kissed him on the lips holding his face in his hands.

“You, sugar. Will be the one getting our little sad mate to come to tea”

Cyllic was confused.

“Why me? I don't really know much of her, let alone being able to do anything to compel her to come”

He was shaking a little as he was explaining. Feeling sad that everything he was saying was the truth.

“I know, but you are the one who is the smartest. Being a forest nymph you are not able to lie, and you have all the facts about our species.”

Tyrus did have a point in what he was saying. He was not able to lie, he was the smartest, and he was a geek when it came to the different species. This could actually work.

We all got going to do our jobs that Tyrus had given us. We needed this to be the last time our mate bond was put through the test of her leaving us, cause she was probably not going to come back if this was going to be a thing happening every other day.

Cyllic POV:

I understood why Tyrus wanted me to be the one who went to her, but it was not a good feeling to go to her alone. I was freaking out abit. The head maid had told me that she was in the third guestroom. She had given her towels and some of the clothing Alex and I had bought for her. I was standing outside her room trying to build up the currage to knock on the door. Taking in deep breaths.

*Knock Knock*

I stood waiting for a few seconds before realizing she was not going to open the door herself.

“Its me Cyllic”

I said, there was some shuffling and the door opened slowly, I could see her face through the crack of the door.

“I'm here to… ehm.. explain?”

I looked at her.

“Are you asking or are you stating?

I shook my head, shoved my hands down my pockets. And honestly I was a little restless. She opened the door and walked over to the bed. She sat down, crossed her legs, put her hands on her face and waited for me. I walked into the room and grabbed one of the chairs and sat in front of her.

“If you have any questions just ask along the way, I will answer everything.. That I know the facts too”

She just stared at me, squinting her eyes and waited for me to continue, I was not really sure what I was going to start with, beginning at some place. I could start with explaining the confusion that TJ started.

“What are you?”

She was calm, and waiting for me to answer. I took a deep breath.

“I am Cyllic, I am a forest nymph. I am from the western forest. I am one of the royal family members, the only from my generation. So far.”

She just sat there.

“Do you know anything about forest nymphs, or any nymphs?”

She shook her head, I sat back in the chair, trying to figure out where to begin again.

“Nymphs in general are born without gender, we choose a gender when we get older. An age we call the blooming period. We enter the sanctuary where we are to choose what gender we want. I was at my blooming period, shortly before meeting Liam and Gabe, I chose to be a male, because of my family. I was at a place where I was not sure what gender I was to choose, so I went along with what my parents wanted. I became a male 2 days before finding out I was Liam and Gabe's mate.”

I took a breath, still being angry that I did not meet them sooner, I they had claimed me 2 days before, I would have chosen to be a female and we would not have this problem right now.

“So you could have been female, if they had been faster in finding you?”

I nodded and gave her a small smile, trying to make it look like I was not sad about the fact that I had chosen wrong. I took in a deep cleansing breath.

“When I met Liam and Gabe, I was both happy and confused, the mate pull was strong and we made it around3 hours before we had mated.”

I laughed at the memory, Penelope was smiling while looking at me, she was listening at my story, and letting me take it at my own pace, it was nice. I was connecting to her, not her to me. This was a first its usually the new mate who connects to us before we connect to them. But me opening up to her was a new experience. Liam and Gabe usually tell my story.

“After we mated, and connected. I told my parents, Gabe and Liam had been at the Western forest to make truse. But when they found out that I was to stay with them, not being able to continue the bloodline. They ehm…. They decided that I had to make a decision. My family, home and people. Over my mates.”

I could feel a tear going down my cheek, but before being able to brush it off, she straddles me and brushes it away with her fingers. She stayed on me, I hesitated but folded my hands around her, telling this to others was hard.

“I ehm. I chose my family, people and home. But I was not happy, I was miserable without them. I was regretting my choice, but I was not ready to toss everything I knew away just like that. I went on a.. ehm.. blind date so to say, a female I was to mate with, and I did actually get to the mating, but I was not capable of doing anything with her, I was not able to get erect”

She was sitting and looking me straight in my eyes, again not saying anything with every break and every stutter I made along the way, giving me time to explain. Her being near me was helping, feeling her steady calming heartbeat.

“I regretted and ran away, I left the western forest and as I came through the gate to your world, there they stood, waiting for me. They had been there for 2 weeks and were waiting for me to come back to them. Liam and Gabe were just smiling and hugged me as I went to them. I came here, and got accustomed to the surroundings. The trees out there are for me.”

I smiled, fiddled with her hands in mine.

“ Not long after being here, I had forgotten my family even existed for a while, that is. They did not forget my betrayal though. They had sent a letter to Liam, stating I was no longer welcome to come into the western forest. Eny forest kingdom actually.”

I breathed out, she took my face in her hands, and kissed my nose. rested her forehead on my.

“And then what?”

She asked and looked me straight in my eyes, her blue sky eyes were a breath of fresh air, they were beautiful and reminded me of the sky in my own realm.

“I was tired, sad and confused why my family reacted how they did. I found out later that it was because none of my family members were able to reproduce, something about a curse put on them. Well all of us, The curse makes it impossible for any female of our bloodline to reproduce, which is why they made me into a male. But I did not know that. I threw myself into studies. I study different species and know most of every story about the different species. SO if you want to know anything, and I mean anything just ask me”

She giggled, that was the most amazing sound, like a harp playing.

“One thing you should know about nymphs is, we can't lie”

She looked confused, but intrigued.

“We are not able to use our powers, our connection without elements if we lie. It goes against the law of mother nature.”

She now realized why I told her to ask anything, anything at all.

“Am I just someone for you all to breed with?”

“No”

“If I was infertile would you still want me as your mate?”

I stiffened a little before digesting the information

“Yes”

“You hesitated.”

“Yes, because I was afraid you were sick”

She sighed, but smiled at me. Believing me.

“So why did TJ say that?”

“TJ, is still young, he does not think before speaking, he is looking forward to breeding you, we all are, being connected with you more than just a trust bond, mate pull and the marking.”

“Mate pull?”

“Matepull, is the feeling you start with when meeting your mate for the first time, a sort of kickstarter to get the bonding starting.”

She nodded, probably thinking about how she and Liam and Gabe were attracted to one another in the hotel room.

“Trust bond?”

“It's the bond that makes it possible for us to all stay together, for us to really be mates, we have to trust each other to be mates. well successfully mates anyway.”

She thought it through before asking more questions.

“Marking?”

I smiled, instead of talking I took down the shirt showing my nape.

“This is Kings and Liam's mark," the tatoo showing. she hardly got a glimse "They bite you under mating, which is marking, it allows us to talk without talking. We can feel each other's feelings, arousal, well some of us can smell that too. sadness, happiness. Any feeling”

She smiled, but was confused too.

“Didn't you see our marks on Ty and Curt?”

“Noo?”

“We all have different marks, placed on different places of the bodies, they look like tattoos”

She nodded thinking about it.

“Any other questions?”

She was thinking about other things to ask me. We had been talking for about 30 minutes so I had to stretch out some more time with her before going to tea.

“You said you found out about the curse later. how?”

“My mother, the queen and heir of our royal blood, sent another letter after we found Alex as our mate. She wrote a long letter about how and why they had been so against me being with my mates, but when new mates kept coming up my mother had hope. Telling me about the curse, and how we might be able to lift it. Apparently the curse is only from mother to child, so me being a male would mean that if I got a female mate, and produced an heir I would kill off the curse and continue the royal line. I told her to go away and that I would never in my life just produce an heir for our bloodline to continue.”

Penelope looked astonished about my confession.

“I could care less about an heir, mine or the others, a child born from one of us or all of us, would still be my child. We all feel like that, so when we were told that you already had produced offspring, we were confused, and happy. Not at first, don't get me wrong, we were sad that you had been with someone else, but not that the children were born, we were just sad that we were not your first love.”

I tried explaining as best as I could. She seemed to understand somewhat, but feelings were hard to explain. Í grabbed her small body and went to the bed, I put us under the covers of the bed, not really liking the feel of the covers but it had to do. She was snuggeling into me as I layed there.

“Is this the pull you were talking about?”

I was thinking about how to answer.

“I think this is partly the mate pull and the trust bond working its magic.”

she was confused.

“You wanting to touch me, is the pull working, but you doing it and being comfortable while doing so, is because of the trust bond that is forming with us being near, touching and talking. Understanding one another and being contemptuous while doing so.”

She nodded, wrapped her arms around my body.

“Could you take off your shirt?”

She asked, a little quiet, with redness rising to her cheeks. I sat up, took off my shirt and layed back down, I went to my side and hugged her into my chest. She took in a deep breath and snuggled her nose in between my chest muscles. Soon after her breathing softened and her heart slowed, she was asleep. In my arms. Content within my embrace. It was a good feeling, her being calm and not sad anymore. Tyrus was right, he had told me that feeling her close was different, the feeling of having to protect her against everything instead of feeling protected by the others. Knowing she needed my embrace more than I did, and the one sided love and protection I could give her. Soon I joined her in her sleep. Knowing we would be awakened by someone else just to eat cake and talk. I looked forward to it, just as much as I dreaded having her out of my embrace.
