Here it is folks, Armina and Chase finally meet!
I hope all of you will be satisfied at the end of this chapter. Because the next one Raphael shows up and the fate of Armina and Chase's relationship will be determined. And Chase will not be backing down to fight for Armina's well being.
Armina's POV
I had to wipe a hand across my forehead as we walked through a rainforest, which was two hours away from the Temple. The Lasso Boa Boa had revealed itself. The rain forest was hot and humid, which is why I was grateful, I chose to wear the appropriate attire which consisted of a black vest with a red tank top underneath, I chose a pair of black shorts, along with the usual black combat boots. I was glad I chose to put my hair in its braid, because the heat would have caused it to frizz up. The boys wore their usual clothes, while Kimiko once again had another cute outfit on. This time she had on an aqua long sleeved jacket with a pink skirt underneath, her boots were a combination of pink and aqua. She wore a pink beanie on her head with a white flower on it, her hair tucked underneath.
"Dojo would you hurry it up!" Kim shouted to Dojo behind her, the dragon was panting hard as he scooted across the forest floor, mostly likely the heat was getting to him. As the dragon caught up he began pointing in various directions unsure where the Lasso Boa Boa was.
"Dojo area you sure it's a Shen-Gong-Wu you're sensing and not that very large spider?"Omi said turning to the dragon and pointing at his back.
"Oh please like I would fall for that" the dragon replied in sarcasm, however he did turn around and indeed there was a spider on his back. Both spider and dragon screamed in unison at the other's presence. Dojo ran into Rai's shirt. The others and I laughed.
"It's just a spider" Kimiko said reassuringly.
"What a Dojo" Clay joked as we continued walking.
"Oi, found it!" I told the guys finding the Lasso Boa Boa. It sat on a tree branch in a tree in front of us. Dojo emerged from hiding, from the bottom of one of Rai's pants legs.
"That's it, the Lasso Boa Boa when activated in transforms into a bone crushing constrictor" the dragon explained pointing to the Wu.
"And now it is mine!" Omi announced proudly, getting the rest of us to give him a death look. "I mean ours"
"Not so fast!" I gave a curse as Jack appeared.
"First you'll have to get past me Jack Spicer and my army of Wuya-Bots" the Goth said proudly as robots that looked exactly like Wuya appeared from behind him. I winced in disgust. A light bulb then flashed above my head and I smirked.
"Jack are you sure you don't have a crush on Wuya?" I inquired giving both the Goth and the Witch my best evil grin.
"WHAT NO!" both Wuya and Jack cried together. "Wuya Bots attack!" Jack then ordered. The Wuya-Bots dove towards us at a fast rate of speed, squirting ink. One robot almost splattered ink onto my boots which got me mad.
"Diamond Dust Ice!" I cried shooting a beam of my element at the robot, which destroyed it.
"Dragon X Kumei Formation!" Omi shouted to Kimiko, Rai, and Clay. Together the four of them formed the attack, and as a team destroyed the rest of the Wuya bots. Jack flew off upset that his beloved robots were destroyed while Wuya flew after him scolding.
"Jack you are an evil embarrassment to evil everywhere!"
I noticed my necklace that I had on earlier, wasn't around my neck. Panicking I went to look for it, not paying attention to the man in front of me; I accidentally bumped into him and fell to the ground.
"I'm sorry" I told the guy. As I looked up I got a good look at him, he was bald, and he wore some of kind orange skin like robe on one side of his body while the other showed his muscled flesh.
"That is quite alright I believe these belong to you" the kind man said handing out the Lasso Boa Boa to me and my necklace. I took both items from him, I threw the Lasso Boa Boa over my left shoulder, while I put my necklace back on.
"Allow me to introduce myself"
"You are the world's famous Master Monk Guan!" Omi interrupted, as the others finally rejoined me. The little guy's eyes went wide with admiration. I never heard of Master Monk Guan, however being in his presence was an honor. Dojo came out of Rai's shirt asking.
"Where, where?"
"Nice of you to join us Dojo now that the battle is over OW!" the Latino yelped as I smacked his head.
"Lay off the dragon" I told the wind dragon like a mother wolf would tell her pup. Omi hurriedly went to Master Monk Guan and began to bow like crazy while stuttering.
"I walk on the ground you worship, I worship the ground you"
"It's alright I know what you mean" Master Monk Guan told his admirer patting his head.
Back at the Temple
There was a little celebration to welcome Master Monk Guan at the temple when we got back. After changing back into our robes, we walked to the entrance of the Temple, to find Master Monk Guan watching the other monks performing tricks with balls. The famous warrior then began to kick some balls as though it wasn't hard at all to do with his feet one after another. Omi couldn't help but watch in awe.
"Master Monk Guan is the most accomplished Tai-Chi Master he has defeated the greatest warriors only using his famous Spear of Guan" Omi explained to us as we joined the little guy. Master Monk Guan kicked the balls into the air again, and then used a single hand to toss them to Omi, who began to kick the balls in a circle as his idol was doing a second ago.
"And I see much potential in you Omi" Master Monk Guan praised.
"Oh yes I know" Omi replied proudly.
"I only wished I arrived sooner, so I could have joined you all" Dojo then slid up next to Master Monk Guan.
"You know I'm the one who flew them to that rain forest" the dragon said beaming. Rai laughed.
"Ya we were lucky to even get there at all" this got the others to start laughing except me. Omi suddenly lost focus on the balls he had been kicking which all landed on Dojo's head one after another.
"What a Dojo" Clay joked.
Dining Room/Kitchen
We all had barbecued ribs for dinner, so both Dojo and I dug in. I had a bigger appetite for meat, unlike the others did, due to me being a natural born carnivore. I noticed Dojo, was actually gaining a little weight. As he ate, Omi pointed out.
"Dojo perhaps if you didn't eat so much, you would fly swifter"
"Are you saying I'm fat?" the dragon inquired arching an eyebrow. Rai raised his hands in the air, before answering.
"No, No, No, it's just that you're big boned"
"You know I can still fit into the same swimming trunks I wore fifteen hundred years ago"
Kimiko giggled.
"You mean your old toga?" she asked before everyone burst out laughing again. They all got up and left me and Dojo alone.
"What a Dojo!" Clay shouted again.
"Damn it I wish they would quit teasing me I'm too old to be sensing Sheng-Gong-Wu and all the flying but do I ever get a thank you Dojo? No never" the dragon growled. I pressed a kiss on top of Dojo's scaly head.
"I'll give them a talking to later, buddy, by the way thank you for all you do" I told the dragon, who jumped into my arms.
"You're a good friend Mina" Dojo said to me before wrapping his arms around my neck and kissed my cheek lovingly.
I certainly hope I am also a good friend to you as well reptile came the voice of Diamond, who landed on my left shoulder.
"Sorry Di, you're a good friend too" the dragon said, patting the top of the Snowy Owl's head, before leaping back down onto the table. Dojo was the only other being that could hear Diamond's telepathy. I gave a yawn, as I stood up.
"Goodnight Dojo see you in the morning" I told the dragon before leaving the dining room.
Dojo's POV
I didn't hear Master Monk Guan enter the dining room well it was a kitchen too.
"I have traveled the world a dozen times, but I have never seen a creature as fascinating as you"
"You find me fascinating how?" I asked him.
"What other creature can sense the presence of a Shen-Gong-Wu" he had a point.
"Yeah your right I am fascinating" I said proudly.
"And you know there is someone you should meet, that would really appreciate your talents"
Later at a Scary Looking Mountain
Still Dojo's POV
I followed Master Monk Guan's directions to where this mysterious friend of his lived. We landed in front of an open mouthed entrance. I landed on the fire lit path way and allowed Master Monk Guan to get off of me, before I returned to my smaller form. I carefully slithered alongside Master Monk Guan through the entrance to a wooden door, which opened to reveal a beautiful citadel. Okay now something was way off.
"Do you get the feeling we're not alone?" I asked coiling up to Master Monk Guan's answer my question panthers, lions and tigers growled and made their appearance.
"You know in all of the excitement you never told me who your friend was"
"He's none other than the famous Chase Young" this got me to start laughing not believing what he had
just said.
"That's funny, I thought you said it was Chase Young"
"That's right" Master Monk Guan said, getting me to shut up. I turned to him in fear.
"Chase Young! As in the master of evil, who makes you lower lip quiver Chase Young, sorry but I gotta go!" I said before high-tailing to the door, which quickly shut in front of me.
"Damn it where's the button on this thing!" I asked to myself as the jungle cats came in front of me.
"You done well, Master Monk Guan you delivered the dragon" a new voice said. I turned and saw a shadow at the top of the stairs.
"What dragon, oh I mean yes I am" I said in fear.
"And as promised I return to you the Spear of Guan" Chase Young threw the spear to Master Monk Guan who bowed his head in shame, after he caught his weapon.
"Now leave and never return" the Heylin ordered, Master Monk Guan then did as he was asked, and walked past me without saying a word. Once he was gone, Chase called to me.
"Come now, it's time for your dinner" the jungle cats growled.
"I sure hope you're talking to me"
Later in front of a table full of food.
Chase Young took me to a dining table which held all sorts of delicious foods, in front of me. I didn't hesitate to start stuffing my face. I let out a burp after I finished some kind of desert.
"I trust your meal is satisfactory" the Heylin said to me from the darkness above me his orange cat like eyes glowing.
"It's the best meal I had in six hundred years" I confessed. Chase finally revealed himself from the shadows.
"I'm pleased you're enjoying yourself" he replied before snapping his fingers. A panther took the meat I had eaten, and I gave out a scream as a lion sat a plate with cake in front of me.
"You taught them how to do that?"
"Among other duties" Chase answered appearing next to me and handed me a cookie which I happily took.
"For an evil villain you have been very hospitable"
"Thank you, I have something very special in store for you Dojo" Chase said with his back to me.
"You do, well I hate to eat and run" but as I said this Chase snapped his fingers getting a panther, tiger, and a lion to jump onto the table in front of me, baring their fangs. I bet these cats wouldn't get scared at the sight of Armina's wolf form.
"It will be up to you Dojo, your stay can be a pleasant or unpleasant experience"
"I choose pleasant pleasant would be nice" I quickly answered the Heylin.
"I thought you might"
Armina' POV
The next morning Dojo was missing, meaning he was gone. We all looked everywhere including the kitchen.
"That's it we all looked high and low for Dojo" Rai said closing a cabinet.
"I have looked high no Dojo I'm afraid" Omi said from a light above us, before he jumped down.
"I just hope the little guy is okay" Kimiko added worried.
"It will be difficult for Dojo to resist showing up for the next a time a Sheng-Gong-Wu reveals itself" Master Fung explained turning to us.
"How will we even know when a Shen-Gong-Wu is revealed?" Rai asked holding his arms out, Omi stood on his head, doing the same with his arms.
"I have an idea" Kimiko told us, getting our attention as she held a GPS tracker.
"Smart move, Kim" I praised my bff.
At Jack Spicer's
We took the Silver Manta Ray to Jack's house, so we could spy on him till another Wu revealed itself. The Goth was wearing a red tank top made for guys with Frankenstein on the front; he was working on some kind of car. Wuya's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Another Shen-Gong-Wu has just revealed itself, the Monsoon Sandals"
"The Monsoon what?" the red head asked turning to the ghost witch.
"The Monsoon Sandals they allow the wearer to stretch their legs for miles" Wuya explained.
"Sweet let's get'em" Jack said, hurrying inside to change into his black clothes, before coming back out and getting into his car, I referred to it as a golf cart. Kimiko quickly threw the GPS tracker onto the back of the golf cart before Jack drove away.
"Perfect all we need to do now is to follow Jack with the GPS receiver" Kimiko said while holding her PDA.
"Silver Manta Ray" we all cried activating the travel Wu.
Oceanside
We followed Jack to a nearby beach where the Monsoon Sandals were. The Goth got out of his golf cart, and walked to the Shen-Gong-Wu that lay in a tide pool. As Jack began to take off his shoes, Omi called from a rock we all stood on.
"Hold it right there, we will take the Shen-Gong-Wu if you please"
"Go ahead and try" the Goth growled before putting on the sandals.
"Monsoon Sandals!" he cried, his legs stretched, and we all had to jump down from the rock to avoid getting smacked by his smelly feet.
"Time out nose bleed!" the Goth said, before falling back towards the sand.
"Man he really needs to wash his feet" I said growling and looked up. Jack was caught by some guy. I got a good look at him, and my jaw fell down. He was hot! The stranger wore armor; his hair was long and it was the color of midnight black with green tinted to it. His ears were pointed, and what got to me to stop breathing was the orange like cat eyes. My eyes went wide, this was Kiba!
"Chase Young pleased to meet you" Kiba I mean Chase told Jack. The Goth had stars of admiration in his eyes.
"Chase Young, as in Chase Young as in the most evil genius Chase Young?" Jack asked.
WTF? Evil!
I felt my heartbreak at that comment. The man who I thought I could learn to love was on the Heylin side!
"I do have a certain reputation" Chase said pleased. Jack made a comment and tried to give the Monsoon Sandals to the Heylin.
"Jack what the hell are you doing!" Wuya demanded at the Goth.
"Chase is my all time hero" the red head protested back. My eyes then noticed a familiar green like reptile around Chase's left foot.
"Dojo you're alright!" I called to the dragon.
"Dojo, where have you been?" Omi demanded.
"We could have missed out on a bunch of Shen-Gong-Wu with you gone" Kimiko said. Dojo slithered up to us.
"Humph, only Armina was aware to not make rude comments, are you sure my big bones and all wouldn't have slowed you down" the dragon snapped.
"Oh we were only messing with you partner, we didn't mean to hurt your feelings" Clay told the reptile with sincerity.
"Well you did" the dragon told us, holding his head up.
"We need you Dojo" Kimiko said to the dragon. Dojo opened a yellow eye.
"You are a most valuable dragon" Omi continued.
"Damn right buddy" I added.
"And most of all you're one of us dude" Rai finished. This got Dojo to turn to us with tears in his eyes; he took to his larger form and grabbed all us in a breath taking hug.
"I missed you guys too!" he admitted sobbing.
"So you will return to the temple with us?" inquired Omi. This got Dojo to drop us and return to his normal state. He landed on Clay's chest and blew his nose into the cowboy's scarf.
"I like to but I can't, I've been traded like a baseball card!" replied to Omi, tears coming out of his eyes.
"Who the hell would do that?" I asked my alpha role coming into play.
"Master Monk Guan" the dragon said to me. This got everyone to widen their eyes, including myself.
"Bull shit" I scoffed.
"This cannot be Master Monk Guan is far too honorable as to engage in such behaviors" Omi said.
"That's where you would be wrong my young Xiaolin admirer" Chase Young said, with his eyes closed he poured a foul smelling liquid into a bowl he held. "Dojo belongs to me now"
"If you do not surrender Dojo and the Shen-Gong-Wu at once you will suffer a most humiliating defeat" Omi growled.
"What are we gonna do fight or sip tea?" Rai demanded at Chase.
"It's my special Lao Mei Long Soup" the Heylin answered with his eyes still closed taking a sip from the bowl.
"I always have a cup before victory" Omi didn't hesitate to hurl himself at Chase, who easily could deflect Omi's attacks with his left hand. Omi leapt onto the other side of the Heylin who blocked the little guy's assaults again, Cue-Ball fell to the ground tired.
"You fight well as too as far as evil genius's go" Clay let out a comment as the others ran towards Chase ready to kick his butt. The Heylin opened his cat like eyes and jumped out of the way, causing the guys to crash into Omi. Chase then noticed me. His lips broke into a smile, I turned away from him, my heart full of hurt.
Later
We located Master Monk Guan a good distance from the beach. We landed the Silver Manta Ray and got out of it.
"I was expecting you" the legendary warrior announced as we walked up to him.
"But how is it possible you could do this, you are a great warrior" Omi asked his idol, sadness in his voice. I tuned the conversation I had no desire to listen to it.
"Ow, ow, ow damn it!" I cried getting everyone's attention. Master Monk Guan had finished his tale, about why he traded Dojo, and came up to me.
"Armina, may I look at your back?" he asked me.
"Yeah find out what the hell is hurting me please" I told him. The warrior nodded as he removed the Blizzard Spear from my back before taking off my vest.
"I expected this"
"What is it?" Kimkio asked worried.
"Armina's markings look at how their glowing" this got me to widen my eyes. When a wolf's markings began to glow, it meant that their mate was nearby, no wonder my back was in pain. I took my vest from Master Monk Guan thanking him for his help, and picked up the Blizzard Spear.
"What does Chase want with Dojo anyway?" I questioned.
"Chase Young once was on the side of good, however he traded his soul for a potion that would keep him forever young, I can tell you where his palace is but I'm afraid that's all I can do" Kimiko begun to recite the ingredients for the Lao Mei Long Soup.
"One cup of wheat grass, one tablespoon of salt, a pinch of dried frog and one whole dragon" she said in fear.
"Oh hell no, let's go ya'll Silver Manta Ray" I cried throwing the Wu into the air. I wasn't going to let Dojo get killed.
At Chase Young's Palace
We took the Silver Manta Ray to Chase's Young lair. The entrance I had to admit was quite impressive.
"We are in luck Chase Young has forgotten to close the door behind him" Omi said after we got out of the Silver Manta Ray and began to walk towards the entrance.
"Is that luck or a trap?" Rai asked.
"Same difference! We shall use our superior fighting skills to protect us" Omi said taking a fighting stance. The entrance closed behind us causing it to get dark for a second. Then torches lit the hallways. I caught Dojo's scent.
"Follow me" I told the others in my alpha voice. The others stayed close behind me, as we all cautiously walked forward. The door in front of us that led inside was closing, and we ran and dove under it before it shut.
"Guys over here" I said, seeing Dojo in a cauldron. We all ran to him.
"Dojo are you alright?" Omi asked taking the apple from the dragon's mouth.
"I'm sitting in a pot of soup what do you think!" the dragon answered sarcastically. I let out another growl as another door was being shut behind us. I got in front of the others to protect them. Chase Young stood before us as though he were expecting us. Jack laughed evilly as he pressed a button. I took my wolf form and snarled at Chase, ready to fight. What he did next surprised the others, but I was waiting for it. The Heylin transformed into the dragon from my dreams. Same olive green scales, same black stripes, same everything. He roared at us, the others widened their eyes in fear, as did Jack.
"Wow, your even more hideous than Wuya I love it!" Jack said.
"You see before you my true form without the benefit of my potion"
"I can see why you're so faithful to it" Dojo said in sarcasm.
"Star Hanabi Fire!" Kimiko yelled using her elemental wu to shoot flames at Chase, who stood onto his front claws and used his back ones to deflect the attack right back at Kimiko, which caused her to crash into the wall behind us.
"Ruby of Rameses!" Rai shouted. Chase got out of the way before red rings shot out of the ruby and hit Jack lifting him into the air.
"Hey put me down!" he said. Chase came to Rai's side and hit the Latino hard, getting him to crash into the wall along with Jack beside Kimiko.
"Lasso Boa Boa!" Clay cried out using the snake Shen-Gong-Wu.
"Thorn of Thunderbolt!" Omi cried activating the lightning Wu. Chase leapt through the ring of lightning and grabbed the Lasso Boa Boa, the Heylin swung it causing both Clay and Omi to fly and crash into the wall with the others. I quickly ran to my friends and stood my ground as Chase walked right to us and in front of me. Why he didn't attack me I did not know why.
"Perhaps you will join me in a bowl of Dojo" Chase said in his dragon voice.
"I wouldn't celebrate your victory just yet" called a familiar voice. Master Monk Guan stood above us.
"Master Monk Guan I knew you would come!" Omi cried.
"How could they resist joining you in fighting the dark forces of evil Chase Young I challenge you to a showdown" the warrior said pointing to Chase.
"Just a regular old showdown, haven't had one of those in a long time" Dojo said in his smart alec tone, thus earning a death look from Chase.
"No Shen-Gong-Wu, we only use our martial arts skills" the Heylin replied to his challenger.
"The wager will be the freedom of Dojo and the monks" Master Monk Guan said jumping down from his position and landed in front of Chase.
"And should I prevail you will forever pledge your loyalty to me and join the other fallen warriors who are enslaved into the beasts that serve me" Chase pointed to the jungle cats that appeared above us. The Heylin had a spear of his own. Jack made a comment, which got Chase to give him a shut up look, before he turned back to Master Monk Guan. Both got their weapons ready.
"GONG-YI-TAM-PEI!" they both cried out and the fight began. I decided to return to my human form again. Both warriors' skills were evenly matched so telling who had the upper hand was hard. Chase then leapt above Master Monk Guan and hit him towards us. The Heylin pressed his foot against a trap activator, causing the metal flooring where Master Monk Guan was, turn into a fiery pit. Flames shot out of the pit; luckily Master Monk Guan avoided getting toast. But Chase wasn't done he leapt onto his opponent, his left foot pressed itself against Master Monk' Guan's chest, he was trying to throw him into the flames.
"Loser Guan, Loser Guan!" began Jack.
"Jack you shut the hell up before I come over there and kick your ass!" I threatened the Goth, who indeed shut up at my threat. Master Monk Guan was struggling, until he used the metal part of his weapon at Chase who dodged it. This got Master Monk Guan to get back on his feet.
"You cannot defeat me not even the Spear of Guan won't save you" Chase hissed.
"What makes a warrior strong is not the weapon" Master Monk Guan began as he jumped past Chase and landed in front of him. "But the warrior holding the weapon."
This got Omi to smile. Master Monk Guan then put the Spear of Guan down and got into a fighting position, this got Chase to growl and he too put his weapon down.
"The theatrics are quite amusing as are your skills in combat" Both warriors leapt into the air and again their punches and kicks were evenly matched, until Chase used his tail to throw his foe away from him causing Master Monk Guan to crash against a wall behind him and started to fall towards the lava below him, but the Tai-Chi master leapt gracefully back into air and gave Chase a hard series of punches causing the Heylin to fall near the edge of his own fire trap. He growled and used his foot to activate another trap, this time a maze of mirrors came from the floor. Master Monk Guan cautiously slid into the maze of mirrors, and jumped on top of one, Chase must activated another trap, because the mirror Master Monk Guan stood on moved causing him to fall off. I saw Chase slide back within the maze of mirrors.
Master Monks POV
Chase snuck from behind me, and threw me against a mirror breaking it. I kicked him hard in the stomach getting him to crash into the mirror behind him, he snarled before fleeing into his maze.
"I see you for who you are and not who you pretend to be Repel the Beast!" I cried unleashing a move I had learned a long time ago, and used it on Chase Young. The Heylin met the blast and flew through the maze and collided with Dojo's cauldron.
Armina's POV
Master Monk Guan won the showdown. Chase became human once again and angrily stood up. The jungle cats growled and came towards us.
"Yes we can still stop them" Jack said. I phased into my wolf form and the jungle cats backed away in both fear and respect.
"No!" Chase said holding a hand up. "I accepted their challenge and lost they're free to go" this got Jack to protest. "I am certain our paths will cross again" Chase said before bowing to us.
"As I am too am certain" Omi replied bowing to Chase in return. Dojo slid out of the cauldron and hopped onto my back, I turned to Chase with hurt and betrayal fueling me. I then followed the others out of the Heylin's lair.
That Night
"Damn it!" I growled cursing as I woke up from my sleep. I looked at the alarm clock next to me it was only ten p.m. My markings still burned. I needed to have a night run, so I stripped off my sleep wear and changed into white spaghetti strapped dress in fact this was the same dress I wore in my dreams. I quietly made sure I didn't wake Diamond who was fast asleep on his perch, as well as the others, before I snuck outside and leapt over the temple wall. Once I landed on the ground, I phased into my wolf form and began to run into the moonlit night. The moon was almost full, I don't know how long I ran, but I didn't care I stopped at a nearby lake that was close to the Temple. I had to take a break from my wolf state, and became human again. I walked to the water, and poured the cool liquid onto my face. Moonlight reflected over the water, giving the area around me a romantic glow. I scoffed and continued to pour water on me trying to provide relief for my burning back.
"Hello Luna" I jumped at Chase's voice. I turned around. Chase was alone, he smiled at me lovingly. Angry tears poured down my face.
"How dare you all of this time you played me" I hissed. My claws formed as my fangs elongated.
"Luna please let me explain" Chase started as he came towards me; I snarled and swiped at him. The Heylin gently grabbed my wrist.
"You need to calm yourself Armina, please" he said to me bringing my body up to his. I was so upset, I was physically shaking. Chase suddenly led me until my back hit against a tree trunk.
"I'm so sorry our meeting has upset you Luna, my intentions were never meant to hurt you like this" the Heylin told me in a comforting voice, wiping my tears away. His voice sounded sincere, but was he really?
"How am I supposed to believe that Chase? I lost my parents to a psycho werewolf who wants me, I come to China to learn about my element, and then I meet you through the dreams we shared, I actually started to like you even" I shut my mouth. No I couldn't say it. But it was true; I was in love with Chase Young.
"You were starting to love me weren't you Luna?" Chase asked me, stroking my right cheek.
"Yes" I finally answered. This got Chase to suddenly snap his fingers; the top part of his armor came off. I tried not to stare at his muscles and well built form.
"What the hell are you doing!" I demanded.
"What do you see on my back Luna?" Chase asked turning around. He moved his hair out of the way, and my eyes widened. On the right side of his back, were my markings meaning only one thing. Chase Young was my mate. But how could I accept him when he and I were on opposite sides. Chase turned back to me.
"Those markings appeared this morning, Luna, by now you know that I am yours and yours alone" he told me as he pressed his forehead against mine. Then I realized Chase's affections were real, he did love me, but did I love him? But deep down, I already knew that I did.
"I need time to think about this, Chase, I hope you understand"
"I do Luna, I waited for you for fifteen hundred years, I will wait for fifteen hundred more if I must" the Heylin said to me before pressing a kiss onto my mouth. I welcomed the kiss he gave me; I wrapped my arms around his neck. Chase's tongue met with mine, for a brief dance, before the two of us broke apart to get air.
"You should return to the temple Luna, I'm sure the other monks will be worried about you" Chase told me as he backed up from the tree so I could freely move around. I nodded and took my wolf form. I turned to my mate before I let out a howl into the night, and took off into a run back to the Temple.
Awww!
Ain't that sweet. Chase's intentions for Armina are real, because he does in fact love her. I hope you guys liked this chapter!
