Their Mate

006

Once he knew that you were real he held you so tight that you had a hard time breathing, but you didn't care. You missed this and you knew that he had missed this as well.

"How did you find me. Wait did you really come here alone? What about your father or sisters?" "Well only one sister knows that I am alive. Elizabeth, she went on a quest to find the seven deadly sins and I was on a quest to find anyone really. I found Meliodis first then my sister. Along the way we found Diane but I left them to find you." you told him then you felt him quickly lift his head from your chest. "What?! How far away are they?" You smiled and laughed softly. "Not very far. They were fending off a few holy knights so I came up here to look for you. It was very easy to get in this place." You look behind him to the girl. Jericho. You made eye contact as you waved your hand in her direction. In a matter of seconds she had a dress made out of cold crystals. (Yes an elsa dress I know, I know) Her eyes went wide and her mouth fell open. "Winter?" Her and Ban stand up at the sametime. He pulled you behind him protectively and growled in her face. You laughed and walked out infront of him. "What are you doing Winter? He is an enemy to the kindom and if you side with him that means you can't be a holy knight grandmaster! A position that you have been waiting on for years now. Are you really going to thow that away! You could be better than Zaratross was! Better than Gil is!"

Ban cut her off before she could start again. "Ay- Pup, what is she talking about?" You look at Ban and then back to Jericho. "I became a holy knight after you left." 'you left' you said rather than saying 'I died' "They were the real reason I lived for so long and I wanted to become a grandmaster before I found you all. I knew Jericho even back then. I passed her early on in training and was stuck under Zaratross' son Gilthunder." He looked at you with a mixture of pride and worry. He cared for her more than anything in this living world. "So you got magic huh pup?"  You look up at him and smiled, he looked down and did the same. "You cut your hair." You teased. "You let yours grow out a little bit since I saw you last. It went to about your shoulders, now your almost walking on it." He teased right back. "Umm Winter! What. Are. You. Doing!" Jericho screamed. "Who the hell is Winter. Is that what you had them calling you Pup?" Ban asked looking between you and the other smaller female. You looked up at him and nodded your head softly. "I never said anything unless I was forced to, and since most of my magic is ice based they called me Winter's Whisper." He looked at you with his brows raised and his eyes wide.

Since he was no longer focased on the fact that you were alive, he flet the stinging in his side. He looked down to see that his fox mark was a bright blue. He turned to look at you since when it was just him and Jericho he never felt it and it was never blue. "Are we?" He got your attention again and you knew what he was asking. You nodded your head in response to his question. His arms went slack by his side and he looked at you dumbfounded. You barely heard him say 'really' before he pulled you into his arms again. This time it was different though. It wasn't an embrace of question and mourning, it was one of need and desire. Your arms flew around to wrap around his neck and you pulled your face back slightly, looking him in the eyes first but you felt your gaze drift down to his lips. He got the memo and gently wrapped his arm over your neck and pulled you in more. Your lips collided and it was unlike the other two kisses. This one was slower and fragile but also passonite.

You pulled away after what felt like an eternity of bliss. "Lets go the others are waiting for us im sure." You looked past him again to Jericho. "Bye" You said soflty giving her a soft wave. You were going to miss her but you wanted to get back to others. A small form of anxiety was sinking in already and it couldn't have been more than an hour. Eventually with him carring you down the twists of hallways on his hip you met up with the others. Only Ban and Meliodis were staring each other down. You shimmied down Ban's side and walked over to Hawk and Diane. She looked really worried and then you remembered that you kinda left her. "Sorry." You muttered and her gaze softened. "It's alright but dont you ever do that again OK?" You nodded at her and stood next to hawk. "Hey wait where is Elizabeth?" "In Diane's bag." Hawk said. Offering him a quick thank you you turned your attention to the now rowdy men before you. You smiled and shook your head, This is what you were stuck with and there was no way you were going to be any happier.
