That last chapter was hard to write because I don't like to write that kind of angst but I needed for Magnus to be desperate and I wanted to write a different kind of bond and angst than what Thundercracker did to Aura. I also like having Optimus and Allie at odds at times because no relationship is perfect but we still love each other warts and all. I should know I have been married sixteen years to a wonderful husband but even we weren't perfect in the beginning.
Please take a moment to press the button at the bottom of the chapter so that I know how you like each chapter. I really appreciate all of the reviews because I read them. Enjoy!
"Did we miss something?" Shalon asked when she and Megatron walked in later that night. Allie had cleaned the table and Ultra Magnus had left taking Comm with him. He couldn't look Allie in the eye which made her more angry at both mechs but the bond had taken and there was nothing that Allie could do about it now.
"Yeah, you missed something." Allie said as tears clogged her throat again as she thought about the mess that Optimus encouraged tonight. Shalon and Megatron walked out onto the balcony to stand next to the distraught commander.
"Does Optimus know?" Megatron asked.
"Oh yes he knows. He knows that I am angry with him and Magnus." Allie replied bitterly trying to keep control of her tears. It wouldn't do any good. She had already cried earlier.
"Allie what happened?" Shalon asked softly. Allie wasn't even trying to hide her anger and pain and it scared Shalon that she could feel this strongly. Shalon and Megatron circled her on the balcony.
"Allie what happened?" Megatron demanded.
"Allie?" All three turned to see Optimus standing in the opening of the balcony door waiting for his mate to come to berth. Allie hesitated as she saw him, still angry that he could be so callous with her friend's feelings.
"Now Allie." He said it softer but his tone implied that he would not put up with her defiance. Allie let the tears slip down her face as she walked to her mate.
"Good night Megatron, Shalon." Optimus said as he escorted his mate to their room. The couple watched them retreat to their room in stunned silence.
"What the hell was that?" Shalon whispered when she finally regained her voice.
"I don't know but I have heard that tone when I was in battle with him." Megatron replied as he guided his mate to their room.

Magnus placed Comm in his berth as he felt her shudder from the new sensations that were flowing through her. Magnus felt bad about the way he had bonded with her but in time he would prove to her that it had been for the best. He hoped that Optimus was right about what they had done because he could feel Allie's anger without having any kind of bond with her. It had been clear that she hadn't known his intentions and that she was angry that the bond had taken place. He would never regret what he did but he hoped that Comm could forgive him with time. He would cherish her forever whether she did or not but it would make their life better if she could.
"Magnus? Where am I?" She whispered brokenly.
"You are here with my, my love." He answered her as he hovered over her.
"Why? I would have loved you if you had just tried to convince me. Why force me?" She sobbed out and Magnus' spark broke at her words.
"Comm I will never regret what I did but I tried to tell you and I begged for one last chance and you wouldn't listen." He told her. He moved her very carefully and placed her on his chest as he held her while she sobbed. Eventually, after sending warm waves of love and comfort to her, she settled and fell into a light recharge as he rubbed his finger up and down her back.
"I will protect you, I promise." He whispered fiercely to her still form before slipping into recharge for the night.

"Aura, are you alright?" Thundercracker asked her as he looked at her in concern. She was sitting up in their berth typing some final notes on a report for work when she stopped suddenly.
"I don't know. I think Allie is upset. Well I think she is angry but I thought she was with Optimus tonight." Aura said concerned. Thundercracker sat down next to her.
"Do you want to contact her?" He asked.
"I don't know." She said. Aura looked over at her mate as the sparklings kicked and she smiled as his hands came to rest on her stomach and felt the movements.
"Aura, what do you want to do?" He asked as he nuzzled her shoulder.
"I don't think that it is an emergency so I will wait till tomorrow." She said after thinking about it. "I just don't like to feel her this angry." It didn't settle well with Aura that something could be wrong but if it had been an emergency then she would have already been contacted.
"It will be alright. I'm sure that it is nothing major." Thundercracker rubbed her back up and down as Aura sighed in pleasure.
"I love you." She quietly said.
"As I love you." Thundercracker returned. He pushed her gently forward and slipped in behind her as he moved his legs so that she was sitting between them with her back to his chest. It was a little awkward with his cockpit but he wanted to rub her back and then rub her belly from behind. He massaged her back in upward strokes to ease the tension of carrying from her systems and Aura sighed in bliss.
"Your hands feel so good, my love." She purred as he laughed softly in her ear. "You should become a massage therapist." Thundercracker laughed as he moved his hands to her sides and she laughed from his ticklish fingers. He settled her on his shoulder where his cockpit wasn't poking into her spinal strut and she closed her eyes and moaned as he rubbed little circles on her carrying chamber.
"Aura, how tired are you?" Thundercracker finally asked.
"Not too tired." She smiled at him.
"Good."

Allie let the tears fall as they landed on Optimus' chest. He had made her overload two more times before finally spark bonding with her and to her shame she never once denied him. Why did she have to love him when he was so…macho! She hated that he could do that to her when he knew she was still angry. It was just as before when he had been angry with her over the trick they had played on the Decepticons but worse. This time someone had gotten hurt. Optimus' hand came up in his recharge as if knowing that she was in distress. He placed it gently on her head as if to cradle her against him. Allie finally let out a whimper and Optimus' systems booted up.
"Allie, you need your rest." He quietly told her.
"I can't recharge." She replied to his statement. She curled her fingers into his sides as he held her firmly against him.
"I am not going to argue with you." He ran his other hand up her back and she shuddered as heat flooded through her. Her breath hitched and she hated that he could do this to her when she was so angry with him.
"Just let me go for tonight, please Optimus." She cried quietly. He didn't let go and she dug her fingers into his seams to get his attention.
"Don't Allie. You will not like my answer." He said quietly. She wouldn't give up though. She pulled at his circuits painfully and he grunted until he shifted her under him and pinned her down.
"I warned you Allie and you chose not to listen." He told her as she tried to get up.
"This is your answer every time we disagree and I will not stand for it!" She emphatically stated but it was no use. She had aroused his passions and she could feel him heating as he stroked her even has she tried to resist. Allie tried to get him to release her but she held firm as he touched her in all her sensitive places knowing that she would respond to his touch even against her will.
"Prime please." She cried but he would not listen as he drove her slowly to a higher pitch with need. She felt him move over her stomach as he made his way to between her legs and she arched unconsciously in his hands as he cupped her. Allie thrashed against the berth as he felt the first touches of his glossa on her sensitive skin near her valve and Allie whimpered as her hands went to his antennae on his helm. Optimus shuddered from her touches as continued to lap and suck her valve. He dipped in and then would pull out mimicking his intentions of what he had planned for her when he would take her with his spike. He could feel it pushing against his interface panel as his mouth brought her to a fevered pitch.
Allie cried out as he sucked on a particularly sensitive node and bucked up against him. It wouldn't take much for her to overload and as she tightened her thighs around his helm Optimus growled against her valve as liquid white heat exploded through her systems and stars swam before Allie's eyes. She screamed hard and suddenly as she went over the edge into overload and sobbed out against him.
Optimus crawled back up her body as he watched her expression. He hated when they fought but he would not be swayed by her when he had made a decision and he would not let her go. He retracted his panel as she whimpered beneath him and he cradled her head in his hands as he looked into her eyes.
"I will not relent once I have made a decision, Allie." He said softly to her. "And I will not let you go just because you are upset with me. We have been together too long and we are bonded."
"You know that I will never deny you but I hate it when you use it against me, Optimus." Allie stated as tears slid down her face touching his hands. "You hurt me badly tonight by interfering with Comm and Magnus the way you did. You told him to bond with her without giving her a chance!"
"The bond took, Allie. You saw it yourself! They are made for each other and they will work it out. At least now the bond will force them to relent to each other so that they can't be so stubborn." Optimus said fiercely as he held her while he lined his spike up to the entrance of her valve.
"Optimus I hate it when you use my emotions against me like this." Allie tried to reason with him as she felt the first touches of his body pressing against her valve.
"Optimus please, not like this." But it was just as he had exerted his dominance when they had disagreed back on earth and Allie finally accepted that he was her mate and that she was to submit to him. He slid in gently but purposely as he began moving into her body and Allie cried out as sensations upon pleasurable sensations assaulted her senses. He held her close to his body not letting any part of her cool under him as he gently rocked into her.
"Damn you! This is not fair, Optimus. Please…" She cried. She could take his roughness but his gentleness was her undoing. She scrambled to pull at his seams, to get under his armor and urge him to move harder and faster in her, but he would not relent. He kept the pace slow and gentle as he peppered her face with kisses and then nipped at her neck. Allie cried out as the energy slowly built between them and Allie succumbed to the pleasure and let herself be taken along the for the ride. Optimus held her as he gently thrust into her allowing the energy to slowly build as he kissed her over and over and Allie moaned as her legs wrapped around his waist.
"Optimus, please." She cried into his mouth as he started to move faster but keeping the pace gentle. His close body created the most delicious friction against her and she felt the sparks and static energy crackle and release between them. Allie gasped as she felt Optimus begin to pulse his spark. She grasped his arms as the energy rolled through her body and she returned the pulse with one of her own.
Optimus kissed her as he started sending pulse after pulse to her and she cried into his mouth. Allie couldn't take it and she grasped at his arms as she cried for him. He tenderly embraced her as he lifted the protocols on his chest armor and allowed it to retract back. Allie saw his intentions as she felt her spark respond to his. Allie clung to him as he carefully meshed their chests together and she felt his spark touch hers. As they came together she felt his love but she also felt his determination and she realized that she would always love him but she also knew that she was his mate and consort and would come second to the needs of his people.
As their spark merge finalized Allie screamed as her overload consumed her entire being taking Optimus with her. When they had come down Allie snuggled against him resignation and tiredness devouring her systems.
"Can you recharge now?" He asked her softly.
"Yes my lord." Was barely heard as her eyes drifted shut and every relaxed fiber of her being shut down on top of her mate.

Shalon was sitting against Megatron trying to read the data pad that she had retrieved from the book case but when she had heard her friend's screams she couldn't concentrate any longer.
"My lord isn't there anything we can do?" She asked her mate.
"No, we stay out of it." Megatron told her. He didn't know what had occurred tonight but he would ask Optimus in the morning. He had a feeling that to ask Allie would not bode well for their new peace. It was a shame that Allie had to learn this way but Optimus was a leader and he could not afford to have his mate stand against him. Maybe his own way of training his mate seemed cruel but at least Shalon knew what was expected of her. Now Allie had to learn the same lesson and though Optimus had a different approach it seemed just as effective as they heard Allie's muffled cries and screams through the wall of their quarters.
"He's hurting her." Shalon pleaded. "We can't sit in here and let him do that to her."
"We can't interfere Shalon. Remember when I punished you? This is what is happening. She went against a decision that Optimus made. It would be the only thing that would set him off like that." Megatron explained quietly.
"How do you know that?" She asked.
"Because anything else would not make this kind of difference, Shalon. Prime is a leader and as leader he has to maintain the welfare of his people." Megatron stated. "Just as I have to maintain the protection and the security of our defenses he has to see to our people's needs."
"So that means that her needs may come second since she is his consort just as mine may come second to yours if we are in a similar situation." Shalon said slowly.
"Yes, Shalon unfortunately loving us does have its price, but I assure you that I will do right by you just as I know Optimus will do right by Allie." He said.
Shalon thought about her and Allie's situation. It didn't seem fair but life had taught her that things weren't fair. Allie worked hard to achieve what they had earned in the Realm and now she was giving it to Optimus and Megatron so that her femmes could have families. It didn't seem fair in a sense but then Allie had never been one to be selfish so giving it up would never be the question. The real question was could Allie give up her power? She had been head of their clade for so long that now it would be difficult and that was what Megatron was trying to teach Shalon.
They sat there in their berth as the muffled sounds slowly diminished until the night was once again quiet.
