Chapter 28

He stormed out of the room leaving me alone. Looking around I notice the fire starting to go out. Looking for wood to put on the dying flame. Got up from the chair the rough fabric scraping against my skin. Pulling and tugging trying to get comfortable. Where did he get this dress and who is it. I can smell someone else on them. Anger rushes over me how could he be with someone else. He's mine! Wait where did that come from I have a mate jerk ass chad. “Allister how long do you need to sleep I could use some help here?” I yell out into the large room. Not finding a door or wood hell my bladder is now yelling at me. Following a long hall down farther into the dark cave. Soon all light is gone and if not for my wolf sight I wouldn't be able to see at all. Sighing out I create a small ball of fire in my hand. The warm orange glow lands on the walls silvers and golds tinkle in the dark black walls.

Sniffing the air I smell fresh sweet water. Letting my nose lead me to a large room my fire light bouncing from deposits of gold and silver veins. To my left I see a small torch on the wall concentrating hard I will it to light. Once it lights I wrap my hands around my ball of fire willing it to light all torches in the room. With one last prayer to the goddess, this works. It's a spell I have been working on as aunt Bron believes I could send my flames to do my bidding. There is a lot about fae magic we don’t know. A rush of sweet soft magic fills my body settling in every pore causing my eyes to glow the deep pools of blue silver and gold as the magic rushes in. Taking my breath away at the ease the magic flows through me. Nothing holding the magic down or clogging the flow of magic in the world. Opening my hand my flame shoots out of my hand so fast looking like a firefly on crack. Soon the ball is bouncing off the wall leaving another torch lit.

The room soon is bathed in the warm glow of flames. A large pool of deep clear water sits in the middle of the room. Sweet steam lifts off the water. A scent I have never smelled before mixed with the strong scent of smoke heavy in the air. Looking around to see if he was there with me but he was not. His scent is so strong in here like he spends a lot of time just being here. Getting close to the water the sweet scent finally clicked in place its the scent of moon flowers. Just as the thought enters my mind I hear “moon flowers where are they?” Allister sprang to life dancing on my shoulder his little claws lighting and scratching through the thick rough fabric. “nice of you to wait up. I have no idea where the flowers are. Are they important to you?” his wings flapping a few times before he takes flight off my shoulder. “oh yes master oh yes moon flowers have healing powers. They will help me recover from crossing the vail. Oh here they are green silver blue blooms an odd color.” he cuts off as I hear his class scrapping against the rock surface. Looking back at the pool I slowly walk to it. The scent pulled me forward promising to relax my muscles. Shrugging I strip the itchy dress off and slowly walk into the water.

The second my foot touched the water it felt like the warmest hug wrapping around me comfort seeping deep into me. The farther I walk into the pool the more my body melts into the water. A tingling feeling soon covers me a different tingle than when Rhett or even chad touched me. Sighing finding a ledge under the water like a long seat to rest on. Laying my head back against the ledge looking up at the ceiling admiring how it looks like the night sky I am so used to staring at on long nights. Closing my eyes enjoying the warmth seeping in I hear a splash and small droplets land on my face. Looking up I see Allister swimming around the water moving faster than I have seen him move before. The waters seem to be doing him good. He soon comes rushing to me jumping out of the water and landing on my shoulder before bouncing off again. Watched him zoom around the cavern in and out of the water flying up touching the ceiling then diving back into the water.

“he's a baby?” the deep husky voice fills the air. Yelping dropped down lower covering myself “hey privacy. Wait what?” spinning to find him leaning against the opening to the cavern. A smirk on his face. The flickering light bounced off his bare chest. “do you own a shirt?” I snap out. His laughter fills the cavern my lady bits throbbing at the sound thank goodness for being underwater. “I do little one but in my den why to bother no one can enter and stumble upon me,” he states before he pushes off the wall walking towards the pool. His hands go to the waist of his pants. Yelping I spin around not wanting to see more of this man. I can barely keep my hands to myself what would happen seeing more of him. Behind me I hear a deep whisper paired with his hot breath on my neck. “all cover now my dear.” his finger trails down my spine starting at the base of my neck and stopping at my lower back. Biting my lip at the feeling not wanting him to hear what he does to me. “please” I whisper out what am I asking for I don’t know whether to touch more or to stop I don’t know either or both. Feeling him move back I turn to look at him lost in his eyes my heart pounding in my chest fighting my body to keep still. Breaking the tension Allister dives between us creating a large splash covering up. His laughter broke the silence.

“What did you mean he's a baby?”
