Ellie

The tension could probably have been felt a mile out.  It was so thick;  I could have cut it with a butter knife.  We both stood still, waiting on the other to make the first move.  He knew the pain I had gone through when he rejected me.  Now it was as if he had completely forgotten about it all.

I didn't know how long we stood like that, but neither one of us was willing to make a sound.  He eyed me up and down as I did the same with him. 

He hadn't changed much in the last seven years: except for getting even more muscle than before if that was equally possible.  His hair was still tossed around in the same manner he used to wear it in.  His eyes hero me the st though. 

For a split second, I actually saw pain flash through his eyes.  But the emotion was gone so fast, it must have been a trick of the eyes.  He didn't feel pain for what he did.  If he had, he wouldn't have rejected me in the first place. 

But I couldn't stop the hope that I felt when the Idea of ​​him actually regretting what he did.  If only it was true. 

I was so engrossed in him;  I didn't hear Jonah come back onto the porch.

"Luna," His voice snapped me out of the ravine of thoughts Daniel had placed me Into.  I need my head slightly, afraid to break eye contact with Daniel, "Zea is with Luna Layla." 

"Thank you,Jonah  ," I told him, watching as Daniel shook with a slight anger still.

"Ellie, you should leave" he started, but immediately stopped the thought by Daniel .

"She's not going anywhere," he said in a definite tone.

"We do not belong here, Daniel .  Not anymore, "I reply, my voice breaking slightly above a whisper as I continued," You saw to that."

He thought for a second, seeming to be deep in thought, "I will not allow you to disappear. You are staying and that is final."

" You can't keep us here."

He was in front of me within a millisecond that I never even saw him move.  He lifted his hand ever so slightly.  I hero my breath, waiting for the emotion to take over my body when he touched me. 

I knew what it would feel like from the stories or others have told about what happens when rejected mates touch again.  It's like a black hole is swallowing your heart.  All you feel is the emptiness and loss of the rejection.  It is like you relive every ounce of pain you have ever gone through.  For me, that was a large mountain to endure again. 

I watched him as he looked over my face, as if memorizing the changes that had occurred over the years.  I walted as his fingers twitched forward ever so slightly, the tips gently touching my cheek.

I prepared for the pain, but what I didn't prepare for was the electricity running from his fingertips.  The sparks exploded upon the gentle touch, spreading through my body.  They ran from my cheek all the way to the ends of my toes. 

The shock of feeling the tingles and sparks once more caused me to gasp upon my mate's touch. 

The mate bond how can we still feel it?  I asked Raelynn.
