The Phoenix's Mate

Prologue

Flair's POV

    I lay in bed next to my mate who is softly rubbing my little baby bump of a belly, we have been mated for a year after finally convincing my parents to settle down and try to start a new life for everyone. I'm an only child so my parents are protective of me when we had to move but now that I found my mate he was worse when it came to protecting me before we mated and he's still bad since I'm now pregnant with his child but I don't care, that's what made me love him in the first place. "I think it's going to be a girl." I heard John say as he messed with my bright red hair.

"Why do you think that?" I asked as I looked up at him with my bright blue eyes. Phoenix's eyes are either green, amber, gold, or a light brown with amber or gold flakes in them; my eye color is rare especially with red hair and we call it luck for a phoenix like some people say if you have blond hair and blue eyes, that's luck.

I watched as John's green eyes shown with so much love and happiness that it just made my heart melt with the same feeling. "Because I just have a feeling." He said with a smile and in which I returned. "But what if it's a boy?" I asked.

John just shrugged, "I won't even care if our child is a boy, I would still love them no matter what." He smiles then kissed me and which I gladly returned.

That night was so peaceful and there was no clouds in the sky but all good things must come to an end but I wasn't expecting it to change my life for ever.

Hunters! Hunters are here! Everyone get out of here quickly!

I heard my father say in the mind link and that quickly made both my mate and I get out of bed, put on our special clothes that won't burn if we use our fire magic and I put my mask and hood on so no one cane see my face and John just put his hood on then we put our weapons in their sheaths and they're mostly swords and knives, we don't use guns for reasons. I can't fight or I'll put our child in danger so I have to use my weapons when I really have too. I quickly followed John out the door of our room and house but we were met with a horrible sight. Our tribe is being killed off and what ever weakness that the hunters found, they found it. I felt John pull me away by the hand as we quickly make a break for the forest, but as we ran I looked over my shoulder to see my father being killed and my mother's body lay lifeless on the ground as my father's body joined her's. That broke my heart to peaces, I quickly turned my head back around while holding back the tears from falling. 'I'm not going to cry just yet, just wait until we're safe.' I thought to myself.

We were almost free because the forest is just within reach but then a hunter came out of no where and tried to stab me but John got in front of me and took the hit and he quickly killed the hunter by burning him alive. When the hunter is dead; I quickly grabbed John so he doesn't hit the ground then I took the sword out of his body and tried to carry him with me by slinging his arm over my shoulder and supported him until we made it into the forest, but he made me put him against a nearby tree and I tried to stop the bleeding so it could heal quickly but for some reason it wouldn't stop. I looked at the weapon to see what kind it was and to my horror, the sword is a dark gray than a silver or light gray color which means only one thing, a phoenix's ash. That's the only way to kill a phoenix and yet the hunters figured it out when no one else could and somehow killed a phoenix to get they're ash and that just makes me sick at the thought of that.

I quickly looked back at John while letting the tears go down my face, my mate knew after seeing the look I made. "Flair listen to me." He said weakly but strongly and lovingly. I looked at him in the eyes to let him know that I'm listening. "I need you to leave and never return and remember that I would always love you and our child. And no matter what happens stay strong for me, your parents, our family, tribe, and our child. I love you." He said as tears start to go down his cheeks. "I love you too." I said then quickly kissed him deeply, making it passionate and lovingly.

I felt him kissing me back with the same feelings then I felt his hand feeling my stomach one more time, especially when the baby kicked just a little and when we pulled away from the kiss I could tell that he felt it because he smiled one last time as his green eyes start to close but they still show love and happiness. I hugged my mate for the last time as I felt the matting bond snap, I cried hard but softly so hunters won't hear me. I pulled his hood down gently and kissed my mate's blond head then his tan cheek and whispered a goodbye then I ran as far and fast as I can and didn't really care where I ran to or even paid attention to where I was going because when a bond breaks for a Phoenix, it hurts so bad that it'll feel like someone stabbed you in the heart and just left the knife there.

I kept running faster and faster until I felt nothing under me, I quickly summoned my red wings with light blue tips at the end of each feather that made it's own design. I quickly caught myself before I hit the ocean and rocks below and quickly fly hight into the night sky above the clouds and over the ocean, flying far away from my home that is now up in flames. I put my hand on my small baby bump and gently rubbed it as I cried for the loss of my family, tribe and mate. "Don't worry little one, mommy will make sure that nothing will ever happen to you, I promise." I said to my unborn child but mostly to myself as I glide in the updraft over the ocean, leaving my now destroyed home that I will never go back to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hey guys! Phoenix here! I know that I made another book for the people that read my other two books of Silver Sky's and On Night's Wing; thinking "Why did you make another book?" And "I don't you continue the other two like you're doing with the Course Of The Black She-Wolf?" Well it's because I don't know what to do with On Night's Wing, like should I continue or just make a epilogue and let your imaginations take over from there? Now for Silver Sky's that's a different story, I have to watch HTTYD Race To The Edge just so I can remember where I left off but I'm not paying for one episode just to remember it on YouTube and I have no Netflix and have to go over to my cousin's house just to watch it but with a job, college, and trying to get into the military I don't have enough time so until everything is settled down then I'll go back to it. But for people that are new, I hope you all enjoy this story and read my other three stories if you want and this book plus the Course Of The Black She-Wolf will update slow so I hope all of you will understand and I wish you all a good day or night! Phoenix out!
