The Kiss Of Draven

Chapter Ten: Electric

COMPLETE AND UTTER FEAR consumed my very being as Draven stared down at me as if he was the one under a spell. As if he was the one that was just pulled through to a realm that he was forbidden from. He had no idea what he'd just done.

I had no idea what he'd just done.

He was so very tall, looming over me as if he was a God from Olympus. He wore all black attire with intricate swirls embroidered in his warrior vest and black pants with many pockets. My eyes connected with his as the blazing red flames swirled in his eyes, so terrifying but yet so incredibly breath taking.

Then my eyes fell to his pierced lips that he used to chant a forbidden spell that I didn't even truly know. Now I needed him to undue it.

"My, my, my. What have we here." He said pulling the silver looped piercing between his lips and folding his arms across his massive chest, his muscular arms straining deliciously in the black long sleeves covering his arms.

"How'd you do that?" I asked hoping he would be kind about the situation and explain the fact that he just used magic. "You have to undo it. I wasn't ready."

"Oh but I am so ready mate. I have waited more than enough time for you. And now that I have you, I will never let you go." Shit.

Apollo was probably in my room now looking for me since the time here goes much faster than Olympus. He's probably panicking right now. I've left him all alone. With my secret.

He's gonna think I left him on purpose, knowing he'd be the first to be questioned about my disappearance. He's gonna think I left without a plan even though I told him I had one. Did I even have a plan?

What was I going to do to get here? I wasn't one hundred percent sure. I looked around,  I was here in the flesh starting at the man I truly chose for myself. Not someone that was hand picked for me.

Isn't this what you so desperately wanted? My subconious questioned me. Aren't you right where you wanted to be.

I am exactly where I wanted to be but at what cost. My brothers life? I needed to get back to him.

"What's your name?" He asked and I could feel my heart skip a beat. His voice was a complete wonder to me. It was so alluring in a sensual kind of way. I bowed to no one but I knew I would bow for this man before me.

This is what I want.

After a moment of pause, I felt my eyes watering. A single tear escaping from my eye. His brows furrowed as he took a step towards me, his arms falling to his sides.

"Artemis, Goddess of The Moon." The flames within his eyes flared brighter as if that known fact intrigued him.

"What an marvelous gift. The Moon Goddess has given herself... all to me." When he said that I knew mating myself to him was the right choice. He wanted me.

But I needed to protect him. My brother.

"I must go back. There were things I needed to do before coming here. I am afraid my father will come after me." I pleaded. How could I make him understand that this wasn't forever. That I would return to him.

But looking up at him looming over my small frame, I could feel a drastic amount of heat suddenly radiate from him.

Then In a blink of an eye I watched him lunge for me with speed I've never known a wolf to hold. He grabbed me electrifying my very being, almost putting me in like a cradle and with my eyes or my mind barely registering what was happening, I watched black almost silky coated wings grow from the skin on his back.

Fire began to consume us as the room faded to a darkened sky where heat seemed to be almost unbearable. I shut my eyes for a moment as I felt him place me down gently. The shocks going through my body felt addicting and I didn't want it to end.

I felt him letting go and my eyes sprung open, completely astounded at the being growing before me. Draven who I'd once thought was a wolf began to grow black scales along his tanned skin. So dark and majestic I couldn't seem to look away.

He was looking at me. And the fire within his eyes finally made sense.

He was a dragon.

He turned away from me abrutenly running and diving straight into a giant hole that illuminated orange and red glows of light.

"No!" I cried out running to the edge stumbling back as I watched the end of his wings be consumed by hot boiling lava.

Panic struck me and for a long minute I wasn't sure what to do but stare down into the heat that he had just been buried within. I felt completely useless just starting at the spot he'd one been.

But then as the sweat began to pebble against my glowing skin, I saw him began to rise. First the tips of his wings that seemed much larger than before and then his head that had grown much bigger.

He was fully transformed, rising to all his glory before me. The red lava dripping from his dark scales back into the pits. He flew up towards me as the wind above began to blow wildly.

He stopped not too far away as we only stared at one another. He was so much bigger and magnificent my eyes felt sore taking him all in.

"You're a dragon." I finally said hating the silence between us but also enjoying it. "No wonder I can see flames dancing in your irises." He bared his enormous teeth that was almost as sharp as razors making my heart skip a beat.

"We must keep this between us." He said in a voice unlike his own. It was so deep and grave but it still made my knees feel almost weak. "And you must never leave me."

Hearing him say the last words with so much promise my eyes fell to the pops of lava beneath his massive body.

The way that I dreamed of hearing those words from him. I craved those words from him. But Apollo.

Ares.

"You have to understand I had a plan to get to you. A safe plan for both of us. I wasn't ready to leave yet. My father will find out if I'm not at my..." Realization hit me. This was the final day.

The thunder above us began to swarm the dark skies with gray clouds prepared to rain down.

"At your what my little mate?" He asked rather quriously. But I knew he would not like what I said next.

Though I know this wouldn't help my case of him sending me back I knew this was something that I couldn't keep from him. I needed to trust him and I needed him to trust me. If I'm not keeping things from him maybe he will let me leave.

So I took a breath and said,

"My wedding."
