Oracle Of The Moon

Discussion- Lucy's POV

Lucy's POV-

Blood. It was everywhere. On my hands, in the lands, on the bodies that surrounded me. Rivers of it rushed through, overtaking everything around me and sweeping away anything that was untouched by the crimson liquid. It was staining everyone and everything in its path as a darkness overtook the world, turning everyone still around into heartless monsters.

"Lucy, baby..." I heard through the hazy dreamscape that was trying to keep me under. "Luce," he said again with a slight shake to my body.

The dream faltered slightly, but I could still see the terrors before me. Darkness was overtaking the light, making it so scarce that almost nothing was left to be seen- only the dark. Suddenly, the darkness overtook, and it was pitch black all around. The thing about one polarity overtaking another is that when one finally wins, there's nothing left to polarize. The darkness was no longer special because it no longer had any light left to shroud. It was pointless without any light left to see in the dark.

"Lucy love, I'm here. You're here with me," his voice said, finally fighting away the rest of my confusing nightmare which left nothing but questions to analyze. The dream felt like a warning. "You're not there; I'm here with you," Kale whispered as he rocked me gently.

I breathed deeply as I felt the calming energy that he was exuding through our new official bond. I felt my whole body relax in response to his reassurances. It was okay. I was okay. I was there... with my mate. The world was not fully dark... yet.

I finally looked up into his hazel eyes and found only softness and tenderness there. He was gently running his hand through my hair while studying me getting my bearings back. His eyes were completely relaxed and open to me. They were full of so much love.

"Hey there, sleepy head," Kale joked with a kiss to my forehead.

"What can I say? Our previous activities really wore me out," I teased with a shrug as I kissed my mark on his skin. I had to push the nightmare away to worry about later because all I wanted to do was relish in the bliss that I had created with my mate.

He shuddered instantly at my kiss.

"Lucine, I suggest you don't do that if you want to leave this room anytime soon," he groaned as his eyes got darker.

I pouted in response, but I knew that we needed to go out of the room to show off our new bond. I just really didn't want to do that... I knew that we needed to, but there were going to be questions, comments, and stares. I didn't want to deal with the real world yet. I was perfectly happy in our own little bliss-filled bubble. However, I knew that we had things to do and The North to defeat. We couldn't exactly do that from our bed.

Kale snickered at my pouting. "Calm down, love... We can continue this later," he reassured as he kissed his own mark on my neck. I sucked in a deep breath at his arousing words.

Before I could get too pulled in by his lips, I got up out of bed. My legs still had a slight shakiness to them, and I was sore in several places. It wasn't too bad, but I was still exhausted, and my body was tired as well.

Kale was quickly behind me, steading me easily. "I got you, Luce," he reassured me. "Just sit, I'll go grab you some shorts from your room. We need to discuss our relationship changes, but we can do that after dinner."

He proceeded to throw on a shirt then went next door to my room. When he came back, he slid on some cotton shorts for me and helped me stand up. He smoothed out my hair gently and put it up in a high ponytail for me as well. When he was done, he kissed the back of my neck lovingly as he moved my long hair over to my other shoulder to be sure that my mark was on full display. It was one of the most gentle and intimate moments that I had ever witnessed from him. He was taking care of me and making me feel so loved.
