His large hands on the back of my neck pulled me closer so he could kiss me more firmly. My brain became mush and my insides goo. Heat spread across my cheeks and my lips tingled. I moved to my tippy toes and returned the kiss.

The matebond blazed so hot and corded so tightly I was instantly breathless but refused to end the moment. What used to be a mild inkling was now a burning flame. The feeling was wonderful and the chemistry was perfect. My fingers found his arms and I held onto him. For if he were to let me go I would surely fall to the wood floor.

If only the moment could last forever.

He broke the kiss, keeping his face still inches from mine. I thought the fire sensations would die down but no, it was still so bright and brilliant.

His diamond eyes were glowing and I knew my own were red.

“I love you, Vae'Lee. Please know that.” His voice was so genuine, it pricked my heart.

My eyes watered once more and I smiled. “Obsidian, I love you too.”

Ty'Bin reached down and kissed me yet again, I was more than ready for it. Receiving it with a kiss of my own.
Outside of the realm of possibility, this one was richer, brighter, and more sensational than the first.

He stepped back entirely, his hand lifting off my neck and leaving a trail of fire in its wake.

Speechless, I could only stare at him as he softly closed the door leaving me to listen to his receding footfalls.

I stepped back until I hit the wall. My breaths came in deeply and I felt dizzy. Slowly, I sat down and fingered my lips. Pondering what just happened. I remembered my thoughts when I first got pricked by the dart about leaving Wos’Theon and immediately I felt more than scared. I could not bare the thought of leaving anymore. I would not and could not leave Ty'Bin or Duo’Lae.

Then I smiled, leaning my head on my knees and wrapping my arms around my legs. Yes, Ty'Bin. I have decided to love you.

My eyes closed as my body warmed comfortably from the matebond while I replayed the kiss in my mind.

In that perfectly happy moment, despite the world ablazing outside the barracks, I fell asleep dreaming about a certain someone.

My neck crimped painfully, I groaned and lifted it up. My hand went up to rub the tight muscle as I blinked in confusion at the position and darkness I was in.

Next, I remembered the kiss.

I gasped and touched my lips.

Then I remembered the raging battle.

I jerked my head up, it seemed quiet… too quiet. Without a thought I closed my eyes and melded, allowing the werewolf blood in me to flood my senses. My ears opened up and all kinds of sound invaded my auditory nerve.

Strong heartbeats and weak ones too.

Murmuring and shouting.

Groaning and cheering.

Laughter and weeping.

My throat tightened as I strained to understand what was going on, to understand who was defeated.
