Meanwhile Halio watched Skye as she slept, he never thought he would see her like this. They had talked about storming Corinna to save Skye and the girls. To have his mate in his bed where he could touch her was still shocking to him. As he brushed a strand of her raven hair from her forehead he wondered what she had been through the last four years.
"How is she?"
"Phoenix." Halio mumbled as he leaned back in the chair, her hand still in his. "Still sleeping as you can see. I still think we waited too long. I mean what has Adarius done to her." He whispered.
"Ah well seems our new found family member has that answer and it pissed off the false king." Phoenix implicated. "They're hybrids the change didn't take." he divulged.
"So, they're just like us?" Halio inquired while he watched Skye. His heart beat faster the longer he watched her.
"Yeah Romeo, Your mate is just like you." Onyx quipped as he stepped through the door. "Don't forget her twin brother is still human and will kick your hybrid ass up and down these halls." he teased.
"What did you do with the Human?" Phoenix questioned when Onyx joined them.
"I exposed her to our friends in the market and showed her how the world really is from the outside." Onyx answered honestly as he neared the bed. Once there he pressed the back of his hand to Skye's forehead when he glanced up at Phoenix a knowing smile slipped across his lips.
"We'll leave you alone. Come find us when you're done spending time with Skye lover boy." Onyx joked as he kissed Skye on the forehead. "You're safe, wake up sleeping beauty, your prince is getting antsy." Onyx cooed.
"Yeah and don't hog her all day, the little princess wants to meet her aunt Skye." Phoenix taunted as he realized that Skye was waking up.
"Okay out you two enough." Halio declared as he shoved them out the door, locking it behind them.
When Halio turned around in the middle of his bed sat Skye. Her body trembled as if she had just woken from an ice bath. The young woman was disoriented at first especially as she took in her surroundings, the hybrid could have sworn she heard people talking, it had felt as if her mind had drifted into a dream. As Sky laid there listening for any sound she realized her body already missed the warmth they had encircled her, she knew there was a presence in the room, a familiar one but she still felt like she was dreaming.
"Where am I?" Skye whispered her cobalt blue eyes were still screwed shut and her raven hair hung in front of her face.
As she spoke she felt a dip in the bed, Bed? Wait, was she on a bed? Skye thought to herself. The last thing she remembered was chasing the young girl and the human that resembled her twin brother.
"Stryimir?" Skye called out as she lifted her head. The whole room spun as her eyes shot open only to land on the male that sat on the bed next to her. She was stunned into utter silence.
'She was dreaming right. She had to be dreaming still, this couldn't be real? Could it?' Skye thought to herself as she stared in the eyes of the only person she had ever loved. She didn't want to believe it, someone was playing a cruel joke on her, they had to be, as she reached up to touch Halio's face she froze before doing something that surprised even herself. She smacked him.
"Oh God!" Skye yelped when her hand connected with the side of Halio's face, her eyes widened in horror. You...You're real...I..I'm not dreaming?" She stammered as she looked into his stunned eyes.
Normally it was the other sister or even his own sister that would have smacked him for some prank he had pulled on them four years ago, however he understood where she was coming from. Halio knew she would have some sort of reaction, after all the only interactions they all had were when Stormy had accidentally figured out how to use one of her abilities. He took Skye into his arms as he let her adjust to the unknown and the new that surrounded her. He couldn't blame her nor be angry at her for smacking him
