A/N:: I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to all of you who have sent me personal comments or have left comments on the stories. I'm so excited that several of you have added me to your favorites! I love you guys and I dedicate this chapter to all of you. I'm having some complaints that things are happening too fast, but I promise there is a reason that will reveal itself eventually. *Also, please go read Daniellekitten's stories and show her some love. She's been having medical issues and I'm sure she would love to see some extra loving!
*Chapter 9: The Truth Revealed*
"What exactly do you mean a white light Kael? This is very important that you tell me everything and leave out nothing!" Izadora was shaking with fear more than anger and I could tell that something was up.
"Well, we were having sex in the shower when all of a sudden a bright white light enveloped us and intensified my orgasm as well as hers. I couldn't see anything but her and I honestly had no need to look elsewhere. All I know is that it was warm and made me feel closer to Elyah."
"Oh my, that's what I had feared. Kael, did you at any point tell her you loved her during this white light?" I stared at her with a scowl for a few moments before she answered her own question.
"Of course you did, what am I thinking? Of course you tell the woman you love how you feel during sex. Titus, you need to get upstairs and take the blood samples you need immediately before it has time to take effect. Why are you still standing there?!? GO!"
"What the hell are you talking about 'before it takes effect'? Damn it Izzy tell me now! Is there something wrong with her? Have I hurt her or something?"
I could tell I was close to breaking and I didn't really give a damn. I was worried that I had caused something bad to happen to Elyah while we had sex, I'll never forgive myself if something happens to her. I swear I won't.
"Of course you didn't hurt her you idiot. Geez, your best friend is bound to an Angelis and yet you know absolutely nothing about them. Look, you didn't hurt her. Actually, you didn't do anything, Elyah did. I'm almost certain she didn't realize what she was doing, because I'm sure she wouldn't do this without your consent first."
Izadora paced my living room without touching the floor, her wings were extended slightly giving her just enough power to float above my floor. The sound of feet coming down my stairs alerted me to Titus' return and the look on his face wasn't an easy one to read.
"She's still sleeping, as well as glowing. The tests should take a mere five or ten minutes to set and then we will know exactly what we are dealing with here. Izzy, why don't you stop floating and calm down. You need to stay relaxed and keep your heartbeat down. It's going to be hard enough to conceive as it is, we don't need medical conditions aiding our demise."
He pulled her close as she dropped herself back to the floor and started glowing a slight pink color.
"I take it you two made up? I'll never understand why you try to deny her what she wants old man, it only results in you having to wander aimlessly around the countryside until you realize you are hopelessly beat and give in." Titus shot me a dirty look at that remark while Izadora merely giggled in agreement with me.
"Kael, are you planning on bonding with Elyah sometime soon or have you thought about long-term at all?" Izadora's eyes wouldn't meet mine as she sat snuggled into Titus.
"Well, I obviously care for her and I've told you already that I think she's the one I'm supposed to be bound to... So, yeah, I would love to be bound to her. Why do you ask?"
She let out a sigh of relief but still wouldn't meet my eyes.
"I don't know how to say this other than just come out with it Kael. When you two were intimate with each other earlier, well... That white light wasn't just any old white light. It was a spell." I continued to stare at her as she played with her hands deep in thought.
"Kael, that white light is the product of a bonding spell. And the way you explained it tells me it was a rather strong binding spell. The strength of a binding spell between two willing people has nothing to do with the age or knowledge of the caster.
A binding spell is made strong by the emotions the two share, you two obviously care a great deal for each other for the light to have been so bright and strong. I guess what I'm trying to say is, congratulations you're now bound to Elyah for eternity."
My head pounded with information and all the possible reactions I could have to being bound for eternity. Anger, fear, and hopelessness were the farthest from my mind, all I could do was smile! I felt myself stand and run up the stairs to my mate, my angel quite literally. I reached our room and smiled to myself at the thought of 'our room' everything was ours' now. I watched Elyah sleep peacefully for a few moments, then crawled into bed with her and pulled her to my chest.
I ran a finger down her spine and remembered the effect that same action had caused only a few hours ago. I snuggled Elyah close to me and breathed in her scent, lilacs filled my head and a calm fell over me as I felt Elyah start to wake.
"Mmm, how is it that you are always so warm Kael? I feel like I'm sleeping with an electric blanket sometimes!" She giggled into my chest as she stretched out like a cat after its nap.
"Titus drew some blood while you were sleeping and the results should be ready if you are. But, before we go downstairs, do you remember earlier? You know, that really bright light while we were in the shower together?"
She nodded silently as she waited for me to continue.
"Well, Izadora explained to me what that was, do you know what it was?" She shook her head no and continued staring at me with loving eyes.
