His to Save

Chapter forty-seven - the bond

I closed the door firmly behind me as I let out a deep breath and sunk to the floor. If I was going to be honest, this whole ordeal frightened me. I knew Brand was not going to let me get away with anything I wanted, but he also needed to be put in his place.

Hopefully this party will distract him long enough to get some work done.

Evelyn had remained back, in aims to figure out how to release Bethany and work out the timing for Brands plan. Whilst he had given us loads of information in the carriage, we were no clearer on knowing how to bring back the dragons or what the cost was.

I knew whatever it was, it wasn't going to be good. And the way he had begun talking about me had me fearing the worst.

I sighed as I threw off the destroyed dress and I smiled lightly. My little act with the gems had irritated him, his face was a picture watching me rip it apart. I walked to the shower as I let the water run and I let out a sigh, I felt slight tap in my mind as I smiled and opened my wall as letting Damien in,

"How are you glow stick?" He said in my mind as I shivered feeling his voice in my body, "I'm okay, I've been better" I said back as I felt his sadness wash through me, "if he puts his hands on you again, I don't think I'm going to be able to stop myself ripping his fucking head off" he growled as my insides clenched at his words,

"Damien please, I want to do the exact same, but we can't. We just must suck it up for the time being" I said as he sighed, "I can't watch him hurt you again, and the way he is throwing you around makes me feel sick" he said as I felt my eyes water,

"I miss you" I whispered as I felt his love wash down the bond, "our link is getting weaker, I don't think we will be able to talk like this again" he said as I hugged myself and slid onto the floor,

"I know, I love you" I said as there was a small silence, "I miss you too" he said before my mind went blank and he was gone.

I let the water wash away my tears as the realisation hit me. The lack of our mating meant that this time apart was breaking down the link between us, the only thing that was keeping me going.

I turned the water off as I stepped out wiping my tears and grabbing a nearby towel, wrapping myself up. As I walked out the room I saw a figure sat on the bed and I jumped back, my heart in my throat

"Surprised to see your mate Lillian?" Brand said as he got off the bed and walked towards me, my feet instinctively stepped back until I was up against the wall, my heart hammering in my chest.

"What do you want Brand?" I said as I pushed past him, not letting him corner me in. "Here to assault me again? Or to threaten me? Because I'm really sick and tired of it all" I said quietly as I turned to face him, "I haven't done anything to you, sure I took some people, but I took them far away from you, and I haven't interfered in your kingdom. I left because you planned to and then killed my sister, and now you have her chained up somewhere, while she probably is going through one of the hardest transitions of her life" I said angrily as I pointed my finger at him,

"All I ever did was love you, I tried so hard to fit in, to fit your life, I didn't ask for any of this, and I didn't ask to get treated like a common whore" I said as he watched me quietly,

"So please, just get out and leave me alone" I said as I stood there breathing heavily, waiting for him to retaliate.

However, to my surprise, it didn't come.

He just stood silently watching me as I raised an eyebrow, clutching my towel. "I know Lillian. I know." He said quietly as I looked at him confused, "We all have roles to play, and in time you'll understand. You may not have asked for this, but this is your life. And I may not do this the right way, but I am doing it my way. You will not like it, and it may seem unfair, but it must be done. Now stop having a pity party and get ready. Once we are home you will mate with me, and you will become my Queen." He said firmly as he walked toward the door,
