Ayleen's POV
I was doing my best not to have a f* ()+g nosebleed as I examined Yeon's wounds. But bloody hell his abs were perfect despite the many cuts he had on him.
Our mate is built to perfection my wyvern snickered.
Not now I need to focus on patching our mate up I reminded her. Yeon groaned as I took my time disinfecting each cut.
"I'm sorry this hurts but you can't go to a human hospital," I told Yeon.
"You seem to know what you're doing" the nine-tailed fox muttered.
"My mother has a herb shop and uses her knowledge to treat human and supernatural alike, she taught me first aid just in case"
I cleaned his back and was now finishing up cleaning the cuts on his face. Then I took out a paste made from herbs courtesy of Mom. She sent them to me overseas. I placed the paste on each bandage before putting them on Yeon's various wounds. When his chest was done I helped him sit up and I placed more patches on his back and smeared some of the paste on the cuts on his face.
Yeon leaned his head against my shoulder as I applied bandage wrap around his body. Afterward, I lay my mate back down and pulled the blanket over him. I watched as he slept and took his right hand into my left and kissed it.
Next Morning
Yeon's POV
I watched as Ayleen slept. After six hundred years I finally had her with me again. Last night I felt the familiar tug of our mating bond and history be damned I would not lose her this time. My right hand was intertwined in her left and I carefully used my left to gently move her bangs out of her eyes.
Ayleen's POV
I growled when I began to wake up. My body ached due to me falling asleep in the damn chair. I groggily opened my eyes and saw Yeon was fully awake and he looked a hell of a lot better. Shit, he was smiling too.
But before either one of us could say anything we both heard the front door to the apartment open and shut. Yeon groaned just as a new voice called out.
"Lord Lee Yeon!"
The door to the bedroom burst open and in came a frazzled-looking young fox.
"Your body has been torn up! I can't believe this!"
"Damn must you shout"
The younger fox looked at me. Then he looked back to Yeon and then to me again.
"Wait is she?!"
Yeon nodded and the relieved fox suddenly hugged my mate. I growled while Yeon whimpered in pain. Thankfully that was all he did and the fox introduced himself as Shin-joo. I snickered as Shin-joo boasted with pride he was Yeon's right-hand man or fox as well as his bodyguard, and housekeeper. Yeon didn't even know how to do his own laundry for f's sake.
"Shut up" my mate reprimanded Shin-joo weakly.
I excused myself so Yeon would be comfortable around another guy so I made myself some coffee and drank it. A half-hour later Yeon was in a white robe and he was assisted by Shin-joo. I tried not to laugh as Yeon dealt with hot chicken porridge.
"You did a good job tending to his wounds" Shin-joo complimented me. I liked this fox.
"Much thanks does he need any more treatments?"
"He heals differently but he should rest for a month"
"I doubt he's going to do that"
Yeon shot me a look of agreement.
"Your lucky he's your mate, the power of love is the most powerful medicine in the world, Lord Lee Yeon may be cranky, clumsy, and stingy, but he's a helpless romantic who will love only one woman"
Shin-joo then added something other things before Yeon told him to go. My mate was embarrassed and it was cute. I then walked Shin-joo to the door.
"Oh make sure he finishes the porridge before he has ice cream"
I smirked and reassured him that I would do just that. Yeon finished his porridge and I made him sit down on the couch while I got the ice cream for him. The nine-tailed fox grinned like a kid on Christmas morning when I brought the desired treat in question for him.
"Damn that's good"
Oh my god, he's so cute when he eats like that my wyvern cooed. I rolled my eyes at her comment and Yeon noticed.
"Is something wrong?"
"No, my wyvern just thought you're cute eating your ice cream"
I then slammed a hand to my mouth.
"Oh did she now? That's the first time you've actually told me what she said"
He was smirking and I held back a blush.
"Here have some" my mate offered the ice cream carton. I arched an eyebrow and he gave me a wink before I took the carton from him.
I ate a few bites and it was delicious.
"It still doesn't beat chocolate though" I teased Yeon before giving him back the ice cream. "We need to talk"
Don't push him remember bringing up our past life might be painful for him
Yeon suddenly placed a hand on top of mine and my attention was back on him.
"I've waited for you for 600 years, Ayleen know that"
"Yeah I'm still in shock that I'm a reincarnation, to be honest"
I was then curious about my past life.
"What was I like? And don't leave anything out fox"
Yeon's POV
600 Years Ago.
I held my hand to my nose as I watched the female wyvern feed on the deer carcass before her. She was still making the creatures in my forest nervous. As though she knew I was watching the wyvern glanced up from her meal. Her silvery eyes narrowed in annoyance and I was given a very loud roar.
"Yeah, yeah, that won't work again" I scolded the dragoness as I came out of my hiding spot.
The fiery female scoffed before she began her transformation into her human form.
"I'm eating fox" she greeted me in disapproval.
"And you're still scaring the animals in my forest!"
With a curse, the female stormed up to me and first smacked my head before grabbing hold of my ear. This hurt and I did my best not to whine.
"This domain isn't part of your territory fox, I'm not stupid, do you seriously think I would take residence in another's domain"
"Okay, okay I'm sorry!" I apologized and she released my ear. "That really hurt"
"Then don't harass me unless you want your precious tails on fire"
"You wouldn't dare"
"Oh I would dare fox"
Present
Ayleen's POV
I was laughing my ass off and Yeon only glared at me.
"Serves you right for bothering me while I'm eating"
"Woman you had a strong grip, hell you still can pack a punch"
"What was my name?"
"Daenys"
"Holy shit!, that's a name from the Game of Thrones universe, you're not pulling my leg are you fox?"
"I'm being serious that was your name and even back then you had wicked throwing skills with kunai and daggers"
600 Years Ago.
Yeon's POV
"If you don't get your nine-tailed ass out of the way fox, your going to get hurt" Daenys warned. I was casually eating an apple while sitting down near her target. The board already had a large amount of kunai and a single dagger in it.
"I'm a god remember?"
Daenys rolled her eyes before throwing her dagger. But instead of it hitting the target board I caught it instead by the handle.
"This a pretty dagger mind if I keep it?"
The handle was pale blue with white diamonds.
"No, you may not" Daenys growled and she snatched the dagger out of my hand. "This was my first dagger ever to be given to me, wyverns are given them at thirteen years old and the handle is always their scale colors"
Crap I shouldn't have said that.
"Toss the apple into the air fox"
"Huh?!"
"I have other apples with me"
She had an amused look in her eye and for the hell of it, I did as she asked. She threw the dagger and this time the blade went right through the apple. The damn dragoness was smirking.
"I could have used the wind to not make that happen"
"No, you wouldn't fox"
Was she flirting?!
A Year Later.
Yeon's POV
"Looks like I won the bet fox"
I stupidly made a bet she couldn't hit five targets in a row with her daggers and I was just proven wrong.
I tried to make a break for it but the fiery female grabbed hold of my robes.
"Nice try, a deal is a deal"
She then kissed me.
Present
Ayleen's POV
"Stop laughing it isn't funny" Yeon whined.
"Sorry fox but it is"
Yeon pouted before standing up.
"Oh hell no you're not walking away from me like that"
I was quick to get in front of him. And I didn't hold back as I carefully pulled him close and claimed his mouth with mine. His lips were like heaven and I shivered at their touch. Then as quickly as I kissed him I let go.
"Damn you for being hot"
My face was red due to me finally admitting to Yeon he was sexy.
"Now who's the one embarrassed?" Yeon teased.
He chose that moment to open his robe and I felt my face get even hotter as his gorgeous abs were present in their perfect glory. My damn mate then took off one of the bandages I put on him last night. Mom's herbs did the trick and the wound looked almost completely healed.
"Go get dressed fox instead of giving me a damn strip tease"
Yeon smirked before walking away and I groaned in frustration. Make that sexual frustration.
