Ayleen's POV
I opened up Yeon's can of soda before doing the same with mine. The two of us were starving so we got takeout on the way to my house. Unlike my nine-tailed mate, I dug into my food and it tasted heavenly. I then noticed Yeon was staring.
"What? Do I have something on my face?"
"No"
He then smiled.
"You still have that ferocious appetite"
"I'm also a carnivore fox" I reminded my boyfriend. "And right now after hauling ass to get you back worked up my appetite, now eat up before it's all gone"
"Uh, uh you're not hogging all the food!" Yeon exclaimed before grabbing a chicken foot with his chopsticks.
A few minutes later I was laughing because Yeon seemed to not like spicy food. I kissed his cheek before getting him some water and Yeon ate some more chicken feet. He still dealt with the aftermath but seemed to gain a tolerance for it.
Yeon's POV
All the food we ate made Ayleen doze off. She slept on the couch and I turned the nearest light out before placing a blanket over here. She was so beautiful as she slept and I knelt beside her. Today she gave up the marble I had given her so long ago just to have me at her side. And gods be damned the Imoogi part inside her and where the other half was wouldn't take her from me this time.
I kissed my beloved on the forehead before quietly leaving. A short time later I was looking at the old hag with my arms crossed as she made tea. When she turned she got startled.
"You scared me" she greeted. "At least make a sound, you jerk"
She knew all this time that the Imoogi and its human counterpart were back.
"Old hag, you knew all along didn't you?" I asked her.
"Know about what?" she inquired back. But Taluipa wasn't a stupid woman.
"That the Imoogi wasn't dead and part of it is inside Ayleen"
Ayleen's POV
I was dreaming again and this time I was alone. I was in a dark room with toys and what not in it. The window ahead had moonlight pouring in and in front of it stood a child. The walls had yellow talismans all over the damn place. Immediately I felt the evil coming from him and I felt my fangs elongate. I even had my lucky dagger in my hand.
Yeon's POV
Taluipa walked past me with her tea in hand.
"Everything is determined by the law of cause and effect"
"Stop speaking such nonsense"
I wasn't in the mood for her riddles right now. Taluipa sat down in the chair in front of her desk. She then looked at me again.
"That dragon woke it up from its long slumber, as time goes on the part inside her will only grow until it takes over her body completely"
"That won't happen" I interrupted. "You don't know Ayleen, she's strong mentally, emotionally, and physically, she will put up a fight with the Imoogi within her"
"True she may be strong but even then that creature will overpower her"
"Where's the bastard now?"
"I've been warning you over and over again" Taluipa went on. "This will only end in heartbreak"
I sent Taluipa a glare.
"Tell me"
But she interrupted me.
"Your obsession will only end in disaster"
"Tell me!" I yelled having enough.
Ayleen's POV
I knew the child in front of me was the main body of the Imoogi. I cautiously approached with my dagger and a hiss of disgust came out of my mouth. The Imoogi then turned around and glanced at me.
"Hi there"
"F**king hell" I growled as I woke up.
Are you as riled up as I am?
My other half was angry at seeing the Imoogi. How dare it invade our dreams like that?!
"Yes"
Yeon's POV
Taluipa didn't answer about where the Imoogi was and the lights in the room began to flicker as my emotions caused my powers to channel.
"All Ayleen wants is to live her life, she came to Seoul because she knew I was here, why is part of that thing inside her body?"
I was doing my best to keep my composure but this was too much.
"It's her fate" the old hag answered me.
"Fate? Says who? She didn't commit any sins"
Taluipa shot me a glare that would have sent most running for it but I stood my ground.
"How dare you try to insult the heavens in the territory of the gods!"
"Old hag you knew everything didn't you? That's why you've been telling me not to see her, I feel like someone stole my money after saving it for 600 years"
A small smirk came to Taluipa's lips.
"So?"
That did it. I was pissed now.
"You need to cut down the principal bit"
Shards of glass broke as I made my way towards Taluipa. The shards of glass followed me as I got closer to the old hag. She held her hand up and used her power to stop the shards from hitting her as I was keeping them in mid-air.
"I took you in when you had mountains of debt and yet you demand I cut down the principal?"
Hyunuiong shouted for us to stop it and both Taluipa and I let go then. The shards of glass disappeared as he came up to us. He advised me to calm down and told his spouse that she had done enough.
"Listen to what I say" I addressed Taluipa. "If Ayleen dies I will destroy both the Worlds of the Living and of the Dead"
Ayleen's POV
"Hey fox" I greeted Yeon as I opened my front door. My mate looked upset about something so I let him come in. "Something has you upset what happened?"
Yeon shook his head before pulling me into his arms.
"I just needed to see you"
"I'm a tough bitch fox I don't go down without a fight" I joked hoping to cheer him up. It was then I remembered my dream. "Shit I dreamt of the Imoogi"
This got Yeon to release me and he looked worried.
"Do you know where it was?"
I shook my head.
"The asshole is in a child state right now and he said hello to me, I had a dagger ready to use"
That made my handsome mate smile. He then said.
"For the time being I'm going to stay here with you"
That got me to blush hard. Within my mind, my wyvern wolf-whistled. A short bit later I was in my sleep attire trying to get some sleep but couldn't.
"Fox, how long are you going to stand there like that?"
Yeon was leaning against the wall with his arms folded. Him watching me was sexy as hell but also unnecessary.
"All night long"
"Uh uh, I can share the bed Yeon"
"Huh?!"
My mate then got flustered and it was cute.
"I'm not suggesting anything else fox now get over here"
"Well if you insist"
He was still blushing when he joined me in the bed.
"This is a comfortable bed" he complimented.
"Then you should sleep soundly, but there is something I want to try"
Yeon opened an eye.
"Oh?"
"But only if you want me to continue, your consent is important to me fox"
Yeon nodded and I felt my own face blush as I proceeded to climb on top of him. Taking his hands into mine I claimed his lips and it wasn't long until our kiss became fiery. Feeling his tongue dance against with mine was like a drug and I couldn't get enough.
Eventually, I stopped the kiss and then got off from him.
"Hells woman"
"Sorry babe but I've been wanting to do that for a long time since I first lay eyes on you"
"Babe?"
Yeon looked at me with an amused look.
"What? You are my boyfriend and mate so what else would I refer to you as?"
"Well you've been using fox"
I rolled my eyes before getting closer to Yeon and to my surprise, he brought me into him.
"When you said you loved me back in the Folk Village did you mean it?"
"Yes"
He wasn't ready to say it back but I knew he did. Yeon kissed my forehead and it wasn't long until we both went to sleep.
