Claws of the Dragon

Chapter 18

Alcina watched you eat your apple, smiling to herself. The candle light made you practically glow, your eyes full of affection. "Why are you looking at me like that?" You asked, your body heat rising. Alcina grinned, a deep sigh of happiness leaving her. "I just find you so lovely." She had already finished her apple, waiting for you to finish yours. When you placed your apple aside, Alcina laid you down, laying beside you. She felt you grab her arm, comparing your hand to hers. "I have a meeting with Mother Miranda tomorrow. Perhaps you would like to join me?" Your gaze flickered up to her, a smile on your lips. I love your smile. "I'd love to."

Alcina held you close after having a bath and changing into her sleeping garments. She had received a letter while you were bathing earlier. During that time, she had read it. It was from Moreau.

I know what you're doing. What you're doing to (Y/N) isn't right. Either you stop, or I'll expose everything at the meeting.

Alcina balled her hands into fists while she held you close. You're not going to ruin my true relationship with my love. I'll shut you up for good, pathetic fish.

Alcina gave you a soft kiss on your cheek, falling asleep. When waking up, Alcina changed with you, pressing kisses to your collarbone and shoulders. She packed you a snack, honeybuns and Peanut Butter-Honey truffles as well as a bottle of mead. You were relatively quiet during the trip, dozing off and clinging to Alcina's arm. When you finally passed out, she wrapped her arm around you and rubbed your side. I love you.

Alcina carried you into the church, your head laying on her shoulder. "Look what we have here, Super-Sized Bitch and her finger puppet." Alcina felt her face heat up at Heisenberg's comment. "How gauche! Have you no manners?!" Alcina scoffed, feeling you stir a little. Donna came in soon, then Moreau. Alcina locked eyes with Moreau, her blood boiling. You're getting in the way of my love life. Alcina barely comprehended Mother Miranda's words, focused on Moreau and the horrible things she would do to him. She didn't even notice Mia on the floor.

Alcina felt Mother Miranda go to pull you off her. Normally, she wouldn't disobey her, but this was different. She was taking you, her prey, her lover, her territory. In a split reaction, Alcina snatched Miranda's wrist, lifting her off the floor as she stood. You were awake now, clinging to her and looking at the woman. "Don't ever touch my lover, you pile of crow dung." Alcina quietly hissed out, dropping the woman. She understood the consequences, but so did Mother Miranda. Alcina turned her attention to Moreau, his eyes wide. I will silence you, one way or another.
