The Witch and the Three Kings

Mate Bond Bliss

Wyatt

Fresh rain and water lilies, the scent hits me like a ton bricks, that is what wakes me, this new scent I'm smelling. It's beautiful, I just want to be forever wrapped in it. All I want is to keep breathing it in. What is this scent, I wonder to myself, still not opening my eyes. The warmth I'm feeling has me as it's prisoner. I am afraid if I open my eyes, it'll be gone.

"It's her" Black says quietly in my head, a bit confused "the scent, it's our mate" he clarifies. "The bond, it got stronger as you slept, we feel her, sense her better now" my wolf continued.

I finally opening my eyes, my heart skipped a couple of beats. I don't think I've ever known true beauty, not until this very moment. She was nestled safely on my side, using my right arm as a pillow, sleeping.

I wanted this, every day for this rest and all my my existence. I want her, in this life and in the next. I have never felt this level of connection or this level of peace in my life.

I understand now, how my father could loose himself after losing his mate. The emptiness I had been feeling all my life, is gone. I feel whole, united with every piece I had been missing.

I just watch her sleep, my Khaia, sleeping in my arms. I couldn't believe it when she invited me up when I dropped her off. She gave me a lame, drunk excuse about a possible robber waiting for her to come up and sleep. I didn't turn her down, I couldn't even if I wanted. I'm glad I didn't.

This blissful feeling is all I want to experience from now on, this is the only way I want to wake up from now, with my mate safely nestled in my arms. Where she belongs. "She is everything we could ever want and need" Black cooes, I agree with him, whole heartedly.

My girl begins to stir next to me, I swear I think I stopped breathing, just waiting for her to open her eyes. And godess how beautiful those eyes were when she finally opened them.

Warm big honey brown eyes framed by long lashes. last night's make up smeared slightly but she still looked breathtaking.

"Good morning beautiful" I smile down at her, she looks startled though, like she doesn't know what is happening. Her words confirmed my suspicion, "what are you doing here" she asks as she bolts up right on the bed.

Moving completely out of my grasp and off the bed, looking like a deer in headlights. "Why are you here, in my appartment" asks me again. I know I have a smirk on my face, I can feel it. This whole scene is a little amusing.

"You asked me to stay with you" I answer back, as I tuck my hand behind my head and get a little comfortable. "So I stayed" I continued. She is in my shirt, I think she even know how she got into it.

"What the hell am I wearing" she screams at me, waiting for an answer. "It's my shirt, you asked for that too, by the way" I tell her, "Khaia, may you please come back to bed. You literally took the warmth when you left and I really don't like the cold" say looking right at her. She hesitates for a second, like she is considering it.

"How did I get into your shirt? You weren't even wearing this, where did you get it?" she asks looking around, for what, I don't know. "I got it from my car, I usually keep a spare sent of clothes in there, just in case" I respond to my mate, my mate. I like saying it.

She however is still looking at me with suspicion, I need to fix this. As fun as it is to mess with her, I can sense a bit of fear and fear is not what I want my mate to feel towards me.

"Listen, Khaia, nothing happened. We just slept, I swear it. I would never do that to you, or anyone" I honestly tell her, hoping she believes me.

She looks a little less tense now, " please tell me exactly what happened last night, I'm not really a drinker and I don't really remember much" I hear her inquiring, "well, what is the last thing you remember" I ask her. "Driving here in my car. After that, nothing." is her response.

"When we got here I helped you out of the car and walked you to the door, gave you your keys and kissed you good night" she following so far, still looking a little lost, so I continued "when I was about to leave, you asked if I wasn't coming up. I tried to refuse" that little part is a lie, I was practically jumping for joy.

"You said there might be a bad guy laying in wait for you to sleep and hurt you, so I went up with you. And just so you know, there was no one" I wink at her. No positive response at all at this point. Damn.

"And the shirt... how... how did that happen" her voice is so small, she looks mortified at what I have said. "You were looking for something sleep in, nothing was to your comfort though. You asked for a tshirt if I had, and I did in the car. You insisted on coming to get it with me, so we did. We even moved the cars to the parking spot on the side of the building. Well I did, you just watch. We came back, you changed and then you asked me to stay. You said you were tired of sleeping alone. You didn't have to ask me twice, I didn't want to leave either"

"Please, come back, so I can hold you" I asked. She hesitated a minute, took a deep breath and came back to bed. I reached my hand out to her and she took it, instead strong sparks. We both gasped, she tried to pull her hand back but I held it. I loved this feeling. Everything about our bond is so much stronger now. "It's going to keep getting stronger " Black chimes in my head. He has been quietly observing this whole thing unfold. Giving me space to figure it out on my own.

"Now what" she pulls back my attention, now sitting back on the bed. I pull her to me "now you let me hold and we go back to sleep, still learning" wrapping myself around her delicate body. I don't how she agreed to let me hold her again, but I'm not complaining. I know it is the mate bond drawing her in and it feels like bliss.
