Chapter 11:

Bonding

Draco was sitting on the bed enjoying a small treat of hard candy from his mother before Harry got back. His dominant hated his sweet tooth. It was an addiction and now he had to hide it from Harry which made it all the more delicious. It was his little secret. He happily sucked on his watermelon flavored rock candy until he heard the portrait of their apartment open. He froze, he could feel that Harry was not alone and finally their mateship would become whole. Well, after he teared his second mate a new one. Momentarily forgetting his secret sin, Draco graciously climbed off the bed and headed towards the living room.

"Decided to stop running, did you?" Draco spat at the man in Harry's arms. The other glared half-heartedly before turning away.

"Answer him," Harry pressed with his dominate voice, it was deeper and instantly demanded attention. The man whined shaking his head.

"Are you still trying to get away?" Draco growled yanking the man out of Harry's arms causing him to fall on the hard marble floor. The man looked up at him, opened his mouth but no voice came out, "what is wrong with him, Harry?"

"I do not know," Harry spoke leaving the man in the position he was in. The man began cry covered his face with his hands as to make himself quiet. Harry did not comfort him and just walked up to Draco instead. He could see that Harry was struggling to get his emotions under control.

"Listen," Draco sighs bending down to the man's level, "let's start over, yeah?"

He looked up at him, "I…I'm so scared."

"Scared of what?" Draco purred trying to get the man to calm down.

"Of being left behind," the man answered, "of being used and then thrown aside. O-of loving someone so much but knowing that they will never love you like you do."

"Do you love us Regulus?" Draco spoke his name out for the first time because at that moment he was his just like he was Harry's.

"I...I can't," He sobbed.

"I believe you can," Draco said reaching out and weaved his hands through the man's dark locks, "I believe you do, and you fear it. You fear the fact that your falling for complete strangers. Imagine what I had to do to come to terms with my feelings for my long time enemy."

"You don't understand! My own father did not want me," Regulus yelled, "he hated me so much that he could not stand the idea of thinking of me for one more second!"

"I do," Draco whispered placing himself on Regulus' lap and laying his head on his shoulders, "you think it is easy to please a man such as Lucius Malfoy? No, it is not. He may not have wanted you, but I, no, we do."

"Not after the stunt, I pulled," Regulus grumbled looking away.

"A partner of a Malfoy never grumbles," Draco teased grabbing Regulus' face in his small hands, "I do not forgive you fully for trying to reject us. Do not get me wrong; I will get retribution, but that can wait until after the bonding. We have waited long enough."

Draco stood up looking at Harry and saw both worry and pride. Draco smiled at him and indicated for him to talk to the man on the floor. At first, Harry did not move, but something in his mind clicked and thrust him forward. He seized the man by his hips and pulled him towards his chest. It was interesting to watch Regulus fly off the floor and back into Harry's arms.

Harry turned to look at Draco; his eyes were molten gold while he stood in full deamon form. It was mouthwatering, really. Draco felt himself change and at that moment all coherent thoughts left his mind.

Harry watched as Draco fully transformed and practically lose himself as he entered the bonding heat cycle. Every male submissive goes into heat during the bonding no matter what time that bonding occurs. It is a way for the submissive to completely absorb his mate(s) essence and fully bond physically and mentally together. Due to his body adapting to its new state, there is a high chance Draco would fall pregnant but at the moment Harry did not dive too deep into the consequences of wanting a child at such trying times.

Harry Took his mates to his bedroom. They mated all night finally letting the bonds take place and seal in. Harry felt a flash of white light surround him as each bond took place. It was like a flash of warm and loving feeling that spread through him and his mates. Each one felt a little unique to each of his mates. Draco's was more confident, assertive. While Regulus' was more teasing but a little hesitant.

After the bond took, Harry was able to feel everything his mates felt and was able to delve all their surface thoughts. It was amazing to be able to feel what they felt. To see what was running through their minds at this moment. It made Harry feel more content. Tomorrow the heat would continue but for now Harry sat over his two mates and let himself be surrounded by everyone's emotions and thoughts.
