The Werecats Mate

Chapter 13

"I know, I'm sorry it's just, we dragons have a very powerful blood lust as well, and I, I lost control of it, mine is harder to control, from where I'm a decendant of the original dragon, but, I will learn to control it better, I don't want to scare you, ever again." I confessed as I pulled her even closer, letting the tears fall freely. "Besides, he was working, with Vlad, and there is something I need to tell you." I explained, pulling myself together, I put just enough space between us, so I could look into her eyes, so she'd see the seriousness of the situation. "Sarah, in order for Vlad, to become a God, he needs the blood of an original tigreign, for a blood ritual, he needs, you." I watched as her expression went from shocked, to downright horrified. "Sasha, it's okay, I won't let him hurt you, that's why I brought you to the castle in the first place, not only can they not get there without notice, I have all the world's most powerful dragons, living under one roof, and, you have me, I would die before I let anything happen to you." I held her face in my hands at the last part, so she wouldn't take her eyes off mine, I wanted her to know, that I could never hurt her, I'd sooner rip out my own heart.

"Why, does he need me? I mean, what's so special about a tigreign?" I heard the fear in her voice, she hadn't even met vlad, though I'm sure she's heard stories.

"A tigreign alone, is supposed to have the ability to become a God, it is the only one of the mythical creatures with unbound power, you, we're created with the powers of the sun God, and the moon goddess, you don't know it yet, but your power is nearly unlimited, it's even said that when a pure tigreign dies, they actually become the next moon goddess if they are fit to be so."

"W-Wow, but I don't want to be a goddess." Was her response, and she seemed a bit upset, so I pulled her closer to me.

"Hey, it's okay, for all I know that part could just be a legend, no one really knows for sure." I whispered to her, trying to calm her down.

"Oh... But, will you promise me something?" She asked, looking at the ground, hiding those beautiful eyes from me, "please just, promise me, to not kill needlessly any more, my dad taught me that killing is sometimes necessary, but that, that was just..." She stopped, and I felt her shiver a bit, it hurt me to know that I had scared her so badly.

I pulled her so that she could hear the beating of my heart, I knew it'd help to calm her down, "Sasha, I, I'm sorry, I can't promise that... Those stories, the ones about me being a ruthless killer, many of them, aren't just stories, asking me not to kill, is like preventing a vampire from feeding, I, can't deny, what I really am..." I explained, disgusted with myself, I personally didn't enjoy killing, I knew it was wrong, it was the dragon in me that enjoyed it so much, real dragons, are nothing but the embodiment of destruction, and raw, uncontrolled power, it isn't possible to just deny a nature that powerful if you are a dragon shifter. "If I don't kill every now and then, I will enter something called blood lust, dragons have it, as well as vampires, I would eventually end up going on a killing spree, that, is what got my father killed."

She let out a slight gasp at my words, "S-So, he was killed, for trying to be good?" She was now looking into my eyes, with a few tears rolling down her face, I raised my hand to her cheek, and brushed one away with my thumb, nodding my head in response as I did so.

"O-okay, but just, I don't want to be around, to see, that part of you, I love you, Sam, but I just can't handle watching something like that."

I cupped her cheek in my palm, and leaned down, giving her a soft, butterfly kiss on the lips, "I love you too, Sasha, please understand, you have nothing to fear from me, I'd sooner tear out my own heart, than put even the slightest imperfection on such a perfect being, I swear that on my life."

I heard her whisper my name, and slowly wrap her arms around my neck, pulling me closer for her to give me another of those mind numbing kisses. God I was already completely addicted to this woman, and I loved every second of it, her kisses held love, but not just that, they held a passion that I had never known before. Like a fire that would burn the entire world if left unchecked. She IS the good in me, I have no doubt of that, and when I'm with her, I can't bear the thought of not being right by her side, where I belong. Every touch, awakened my senses in a way I didn't think possible, and the sound of her voice made my heart flutter, feeling as if her voice alone, is caressing it somehow. She was like a drug, made just for me, everything about her being designed with the sole purpose of enchanting me, enticing me in a way I knew nothing else, no one else, could, and I happily let myself get lost in her. She pulled away from our hungry kiss, almost completely breathless, and I couldn't help but smile at the fact that only I could do that to her, make her truly happy, as I should. She again put her head on my chest as we sat there, enveloped in a comfortable silence, like two souls, who knew everything about the other, and still finding bliss in the simplicity of each other's company, it was like I had already spent a life time with her, and I loved that, because I knew, that one day, I would.
