Chapter 8

Nimcha

I stayed in Sabre’s hotel room until the early hours of the morning. I was there when he sent his goodnight text to the witch. His demeanor changed instantly when he sent the text and when he spoke about her. I could already tell he was head over heels in love with her. I just hoped he knew what he was doing. I have lost one brother and a sister already I don’t think I would survive losing another. I went back to my motel room, nothing as fancy as Sabre’s my bank account isn’t as healthy as his. It paid being a spy for the council, but it paid more being their contracted killer like Sabre. I laid down in my bed going over what Sabre had said about him taking on the role of buffer between Li and us. How could I and Cin be so blind. Looking back at it now with this new perspective I can see everything so clearly. How he would always have them send us farther away from the compound away from Li and Jians influence. How after Scimitar died, he has taken a keen interest in what missions Li sent us on. Yeah, they weren’t the costliest hence my bank account, but they were usually longer and farther from the council’s reach. Hell, most of them have even been mundane with almost no risk at all. Ah big brother I wish you would have told us maybe we could have handled all of this together I thought to myself. I set my alarm for later this evening knowing I had to get back to the pack soon but needing a nap before heading back there. I woke up with a start. The evening had already rolled in. From my room a could hear the distant woot of an owl telling me that Sabre was already awake and ready to head to the pack. I got up and went to the bathroom to relieve myself. I didn’t need much so I just threw on some flip flops and headed out the door. I walked out to the street and headed towards a deserted alleyway. This was where I shifted most of the time. As I walked, I could sense Sabre following me even if I couldn’t see him. His coloring made it hard to spot him in the darkness with his black as night feathers, his bright gold eyes the only visible in the shadows. I ducked behind the large dumpster and shifted taking my clothes in my beak and putting them behind the trash can. Once that was done, I walked to the back of the alley closer to the shadows before taking flight. I circled the alley before Sabre joined me in flight. We both then headed toward the pack deep in the Gila Forest. It felt great flying with my brother again. Both of us doing swoops in and out of the trees like a dance. We arrived at the pack’s boundary in no time, passing the ward with ease, we both flew to the packhouse and while I entered the rafters with ease Sabre chose to stay back perched outside on a tree blending in with the night once again. “What are you doing?” I linked him. “I am too noticeable Nimcha I will stay out here where I can blend in better.” I understand, I told him as I hopped from one ceiling beam to the other to get a better view of the evening meal at the packhouse. “Well, your witch isn’t here I told Sabre.” A heard the flipping of his wings and shook my head as I stared at the scene in front of me.

Sabre

I stayed on the pack lands for just a short while. Nimcha was the professional spy not me, I just checked on the main players and Rainbow before headed back to my hotel room. I flew in through the balcony doors once again and went straight to the bathroom to shower. Cold water was what was needed right now. When I went to check in on Rainbow, she was getting ready for our date tonight. Her long legs were incased in sheer black thigh highs. Her small petite ass in a lace black thong her breast bouncing freely before she slipped on a black crop top, no bra. I almost flew through the open window and claimed her as mine right there and then. Instead, I flew straight to my hotel room to cool down. As the cold shower hit my back the images of Rainbow kept playing in my mind. I palmed my m.anhood and began stroking myself thinking of everything I wanted to do to Rainbow. How I planned to lay her on my bed spread eagle as I gorged myself on her nectar. Her hands running through my hair pulling me closure to her core as she bucked and withered under tongue. I stroked myself harder and faster as I imagined her perky breast bouncing in front of my face as she rode my d.ick her fully seated on me riding us to our ultimate pleasure. I cried out as seaman burst from my d.ick coating the shower stall wall and my hand. I felt drained but energized knowing what I just imagined could very well become a reality tonight. I finished my shower quickly before getting out and getting dressed. Once again, I chose black slacks but this time I paired them with a dark red polo shirt. I left my hair loose cascading down my back to air dry. I made it to the apothecary right at 8pm. Before I could even knock on the door Rainbow opened it. As I had seen she was in a black crop top, but she had paired it with a short black and red school girl skirt and a pair of platform combat books. I just looked at her stunned by her beauty. “We match tonight” I said with a sly smile. “We make an odd pair” she said. “How so?” I asked. “Well, my aesthetic is goth, emo, witchy girl and yours is obviously sophisticated European male.” She said. I laughed, “that’s funny considering I was born in Miami.” I said chuckling. “Oh, really well then you have the whole Miami vice thing down.” She said. “You can blame my mother for that it was kept on reruns in my youth.” I said with a grin enjoying the memories she had evoked. “Well, where to this time” she asked. “Well, I thought we could try a Mexican restaurant I’ll have to get used to the food sooner or later” I told her. She chuckled as she walked out the door and locked up the store. I led her to my car, but she stopped me and said we could walk to a decent restaurant that was right around the corner. It was easier being in her presence more and more. I didn’t even see her as a witch anymore she was just Rainbow my mate my other half. I needed to come clean to her soon, but I was still worried she would reject me especially now knowing with Li and Jian did to her and her family. “What’s on your mind so hard” she asked me, bringing me out of my thoughts. “Just you and whether or not there is a future for us” I answered her trying to gage her reaction. “A future with me wow you move fast.” She said a little shocked expression on her face. “I don’t see the need to waste time when I see something I want.” “So, you want me” she said. “Yes,” I said simply answering her question. “I have wanted you since the first day I laid my eyes on you I am just trying to figure out is it the same for you.” She just looked at me before we were led to our table by the wait staff of a little family restaurant Rainbow had led us to. “I want you as long as I can have you” she said sassily once we were alone again and seated. “What if I said forever wouldn’t be enough time for me to get enough of you”. I asked her to try to dig further into the future with us. “Then maybe you’ll be the one to change my mind on happily ever after” she said a little bit a sadness in her tone. We enjoyed a nice meal and for once the food wasn’t fighting for a comeback in my stomach. After we left the restaurant, she led me back to the shop and with a look of absolute passion in her eyes she asked me. “My place or yours?”
