Ayleen's POV

Yeon finally finished kicking the magistrate's men's butts and my hot mate flashed me a quick smirk before looking at the magistrate. The other mountain god stood up from his chair and walked down the steps.

Their gonna fight next

Looks like it I agreed with my inner beast.

After a brief stare down Yeon made the first move by throwing his sword at the magistrate. But the mountain god countered by opening his fan and I felt the wind radiate from it. It was strong enough to stop Yeon's sword and it was tossed aside. Yeon then grabbed another weapon trying to attack the magistrate but the mountain god dodged the attack. My braid blew when the fan faced in my direction. Yeon tried to attack his opponent with the lance but he was met with the wind once more.

The magistrate sent the lance away from him and then dropped his fan. Yeon then had the mountain god in his grasp before throwing him over his shoulder. The mountain god regained his footing just as Yeon used his power to make a sword levitate. The nine-tailed fox then sent the sword towards the magistrate who in turn drew something out which turned out to be a mirror.

I swore when I realized the sword traveled through the mirror and the magistrate had the mirror pointed in my direction and out came the sword. Yeon quickly grabbed the blade before it could even touch me. My mate looked relieved before tossing the sword down and he faced the magistrate again.

"The Moon Mirror, even with using it you knew I would protect my mate"

My hot mate then sighed before suggesting they duke it out with fists instead. This made me and my inner wyvern sweat drop. It wasn't long until the two males were exchanging blows and the magistrate was evenly skilled in combat as Yeon. I winced when Yeon gave the magistrate a hard enough punch his hat flew off.

The magistrate said something that made my nine-tailed mate get flustered before they resumed their brawl. But in the end, Yeon prevailed and the magistrate was flat on his back against a wooden structure. My wyvern wolf-whistled as I made my way toward my mate.

"You really had to get your neck nicked fox?"

"It's fine just a scratch" he reassured me with his sexy grin. He then went to the magistrate and offered his hand.

"Hey get up it's been a while since we've had some iced Americano"

What is it with mountain gods and caffeine? my wyvern muttered and she shook her head. The magistrate accepted Yeon's hand and then sat up.

"I don't drink anything iced"

"So you two do know one another"

Yeon confirmed this by introducing me to Moon Bear and I was surprised to learn they were best friends. According to Yeon, his friend's true form was a native Asiatic black bear. A few minutes later the three of us were drinking coffee outside of a café. Yeon's phone went off and my beloved looked at it in annoyance. The mountain god had a soft spot for sweets like I did. Yeon then asked how life was going for his friend.

The bear mentioned he bought a house but had to get a loan. But other than that life was going well for him.

"I have to go soon so I'll help you with what you came for"

"Do you know what might be going on with me?" I asked. "I black out one minute and can't remember anything the next"

"Her eyes go blood red and her demeanor changes" Yeon added.

Moon Bear put his coffee down and looked at Yeon and me in a very serious manner.

"The creature you thought dead never died"

Yeon's face paled and I could tell my mate had a lot of emotions going through his mind. Moon Bear then looked at me with sympathy.

"You have part of the Imoogi inside of you, young dragon, that is what is causing your blackouts, I'm very sorry this is happening to you both again"

A Bit Later.

Still Ayleen's POV

For a long time, neither Yeon nor I spoke after the nine-tailed fox bid his friend farewell. You couldn't exactly blame us since we just learned some very bad news.

"To hell with this thing" I spoke finally before looking to my mate.

Yeon and I were standing underneath a pagoda overlooking a koi pond.

"Ayleen" Yeon began but I shook my head.

"No listen to me Yeon, I don't give a damn if part of the Imoogi is inside me, what I do give a damn about is you"

I was going to say it before I chickened out. I then grabbed Yeon and kissed him with every fiber of my being. I loved him and no f**king thing was going to keep me from my nine-tailed fox. I broke the kiss but kept my hold on Yeon.

"I love you Lee Yeon, yes it may be early to admit that but I know what I feel along with my inner beast, I am yours, body, heart, and soul"

"As I am yours in turn"

Yeon then placed my hand to where his heart was. Then he gave me his own kiss and it blew mine out of the water. Again my inner wyvern wolf whistled and I mentally flipped her off.
