"Two Thousand years Iason! I have been in existence for two thousand years. I have spend more than half of that searching for my mate and find him now, by pure coincidence." Raoul exclaimed heatedly, standing to pace slightly in front of his chair, his deep purple robes swishing with the movement.
"Not coincidence, fate. It was Jupiter's last gift to us, Raoul, that we my find one who compliments and completes us so we will never be alone as she was," Iason replied calmly, arching an elegant blonde eyebrow at Raoul's suddenly emotion.
"She wove the very threads of fate into our blood to give us this blessing but fate is a fickle thing not to be controlled. As such uncertainty is the price we pay, never knowing when or who our blood mate will be. Be grateful you have found yours because for some it becomes a curse, finally finding their mate only to see them die moments later," Iason pause to take an offered drink from Cal, who had just entered with a tray and two glasses of wine.
Cal set Raoul's glass down on the table before excusing himself, as Raoul made no attempt to take it, too caught up in a faint emotion he was starting to feel coming through his bond with Katze. He pushed it to the back of his mind as Iason continued, "Jupiter was only able to grant us one chance to tempt fate, Raoul, so I suggest you hold on to your Katze with all of your strength."
"Iason I…" Raoul stopped abruptly, suddenly feeling an overpowering urge to feed that wasn't his own. He could feel as his fangs starting to ache and extend in response. "I..I.. must go.." he said quickly, rushing from the room with inhuman speed.
"Go, Raoul, your Katze needs you," Iason said with an amused smile, taking a sip of his wine.
Katze darted forward grabbing Kai, one hand in his hair pulling his head back the other pushing on his shoulder to expose his neck. Katze reared back fangs at the ready about to strike when he suddenly felt a searing pain radiating from the seal on his neck, allowing a bit of his consciousness to seep through.
No not this one...
He leant forward and sniffed his prey, which was whimpering incoherently. The smell was wrong, but there was a hint of the scent he was searching for there, a seal of ownership.
Suddenly the front door crashed open to reveal a very disheveled looking Raoul, fangs extend to full length and eyes glowing with a bright green light. Katze released Kai, who dropped unceremoniously into a heap on the floor in panic.
Pinning Katze with a smoldering gaze that seemed to freeze him in place, Raoul said, "Get out, Kai, now!"
The servant scrambled to obey, reaching the door in record time, sliding past his master as Raoul slowly moved toward the feral Katze. Never breaking eye contact, knowing what little control the seal gave him would be lost if he did. He could sense Katze's hunger grow at his appearance through their ever growing bond. Raoul gently placed his hands on Katze's shoulders, he could feel his body shaking with the lust for blood.
"Come, Katze," Raoul said projecting calming emotion in his voice and through the bond, "We must complete our bond."
"Do not worry I will feed you, but I wish to be comfortable when I do," he added when Katze made a noise that almost sounded like a growl, motioned to the bedroom door.
He lead Katze, who was calm for the moment, to the large bed in the center of the chamber and slowly sat down on the bed pulling Katze down with him so he was straddling Raoul's legs.
Raoul took Katze's hands in his, "Katze I know it is hard for you to contain your hunger right now, but I need you to listen. If you feed from me we will be forever bound together, as blood mates. Do you understand?"
Drawing strength from the calming emotions Raoul was projecting Katze manage to pull enough of himself together to momentarily break through the primal haze shrouding his mind to respond, "Y..ye..yes…"
"Good! Then we will continue," Raoul said drawing the collar of his shirt to the side, exposing his neck and the top of his shoulder.
"W...wait...w...wh..what?" Katze stammered as Raoul wrapped a hand around the base of his skull and pulled him forward to meet the now bare skin.
Raoul chuckled, amused.
"Did you think you would have a choice? Oh Katze, My Katze, I have waited a long time for you and now that I finally have you I will never let you go. You are mine." he said tightening his grip possessively.
"Now, feed!" Raoul ordered, pushing all of his own hunger and desire through their bond.
Losing the calming effects of Raoul's emotions, what was left of Katze's consciousness was was swept away in an overwhelming wave of desire. He suddenly reared back before striking, biting into Raoul's neck. He let out a loud moan of pleasure to match Raoul's soft one, his fangs sinking in deeper to reach that which he craved most, the blood of his mate.
A/N: Sorry guys! I didn't mean to panic anyone. I'm a really slow writer, hence the short chapters and large gaps between updates.
Thank you to all of my reviewers! You keep me writing! :D
Do not worry I won't abandon this fic, I promise!
