Taming the Snow Thantor

Lo'ak's POV:

I freeze in Veylo's arms, my mate's eyes flickering up to the noise behind me.

His muscles tense at what he sees, and it doesn't take a genius to figure out what was behind me.

"Lo'ak," Veylo whispers tensely, "when I say run, you run. Do not stop till you get back to the clan, got it?"

Wait. Did he want me to go by myself? What about him?

"Without you?" I ask back, my voice just as quiet as his.

He nods, making me shake my head rapidly, "I am not leaving without you"

The growling gets louder.

Veylo looks down at me, a glint of an emotion I can't pinpoint shown in his eyes, "Please, Lo'ak. Listen to me. I can not lose you the same way I lost my mom"

Don't leave. A voice whispers inside my head. Trust your instincts.

"Lo'ak," Veylo speaks again, his voice somehow tenser than before.

I shake my head. "No. I will not leave you" I tell him.

Veylo's grip on me tightens and I hear the sound of paws crunching the ground before moving closer to us.

"Yes, you will." Veylo demands me, "If you stay, you will get hurt. I would die before you ever got hurt in my presence."

His words make me want to go, but I knew I had to stay.

The animal is no harm. Trust your instincts.

Trust my instincts.

Oh great Eywa above, I trust you.

With all my strength I push Veylo backwards, causing him to stumble and fall. I turn just as the Snow Thantor launches at me.

The force of the Thantor hits me hard. Pain courses through my body but I ignore it as I fight back with the animal.

I hear Veylo in the background and I knew he would grab his knife to stab the Thantor any second, which meant I needed to act fast.

Being able to get the Thantor off from me, the beast slammed on the ground beside me. I quickly get atop it, my legs straddling it as I grab my queue.

With one swift movement I connect it to the Thantors, a new bonding sensation running through my veins instantly.

The Thantor lets out one last rawr before settling down. I caressed its sides, "That's it. That's it, girl"

The Snow Thantor was tamed.

Remembering my mate was still here, I turn to face him. Frozen in place, my mate stands above me, knife in hand, clearly ready to stab the Thantor. He looks down at me in shock.

He eventually lowers his hand. "How—how did you do that"

His eyes not only hold a look of shock but a look of something stronger; Love.

"I trusted my instincts," I tell him.

In this moment I knew I would tell him the truth about everything soon. He needed to know. He was my mate after all. My love. My life.

"Fuck. I've never wanted to pin you down and fuck you senseless more than I do right now. That was beyond the hottest thing I've ever seen"

Veylo's words make blush form on my cheeks. "Later" I promise.

He smirks, reaching his hand out for me to grab. My queue disconnects from the Thantors before I grab my lover's hand. He pulls me up, his lips meeting mine right away.

"You are something else, love, truly something else."
