I love you Lion.
He looked at me with undescribable joy.
I asked him hesitantly, if he would still accept me after all I've been through.
He gently held my hands with both of his hands and looked at me with so much love in his eyes.
He told me that he already decided that I would be his life long mate a long time ago.
Only death can prevent us from being together, he said softly. Then he added that even in death, he would still try to find me.
I cried upon hearing that and he slowly kissed me. I kissed him back a bit more passionately, holding his arms and pulling him towards me.
I slowly broke the kiss and he opened his eyes, confused at my action.
I confessed to him that I saw him kissing Subus. I told him that even though I wasn't his first time, I still loved him and wanted to be with him no matter what. I felt my heart began to tightened.
He suddenly gave me a pained look and asked me how I saw them.
I told him that I was inside his closet, seeing everything that happened between them.
I began to sob and hurriedly left the water while he suddenly embraced me from behind.
I finally decided to be honest and told him everything, including the fact that I stupidly obeyed Subus and made an agreement with her. Though I just realized, I didn't do anything to make them have intercourse. Even if I didn't agree, it would still happen.
Cuss word.
What a manipulative witch.
I would definitely kill that witch if I see her again, even if I don't have magic powers.
I was too absorbed with my thoughts that I didn't notice that I was becoming too quiet. I can feel Lion's tears on my back.
Suddenly, a rug materialized and Lion quietly told me to sit down. I sat down and glanced at him, seeing his tear streaked face made me want to cry again.
He sat down, embraced me from behind and quietly told me his story.
It turns out that Subus is an enchantress. A quite powerful one that even he wasn't aware until it was almost too late. He told me that everyone wasn't trying to ignore me. In fact, everyone thought that they were talking to me. Nobody was aware except Orm and that's why he was stuck in his room as a prisoner and he can't get out unless somebody else is aware of what actually happened.
Oh. So that's why Orm was yelling at his room that day while I saw Sly, Ghost and Subus laughing about something.
Orm was enchanted first until he accidentally saw something that broke the spell. He saw Subus real self in a hand mirror. The image of Subus that we saw was just a powerful illusion. That is not her real face.
I remembered noticing something is off when I saw her tail and was weirdly reminded that it looks like Lion's tail. I forgot about the simple fact that only families can have similar traits to each other since every creature on this world is unique.
Still, it was the thing that saved me. No wonder that I hear things differently from them.
Subus soon realized that and tried to destroy my mind. She showed her real personality to me and tried to scare me away so there would be no one to protect me.
That evil witch.
Lion then told me that they didn't end up having intercourse with each other. He thought that it was me and let his defenses down. As he was kissing her, he noticed a movement in the corner of his eye and managed to look in one of the gem decorations he have. He saw with horror, that he was kissing Subus instead of me. He used his magic to attack her but instead, she managed to repel his attacks and escaped.
One of Subus' main source of power is to have intercourse with a magic user, absorbing their powers until they were killed.
Kind of like a succubus, only deadlier.
Lion nuzzled my neck and bit it, needy for my attention while I realized something.
That was me that you saw, I told him grimly.
Lion stopped and began to mumble about something. Then he started blaming himself again.
To make him stop, I asked him about the spell that Subus did to turn my body back before the copulation happened.
He looked up and used his palm to touch the center of my chest and it glowed. He closed his eyes as a magic circle began to appear in front of me.
After the glow died down, he opened his eyes and looked stunned.
What is it? I asked him. Now I'm beginning to get worried.
He closed his eyes and began to laugh.
I began to wonder what he found funny.
I glared at him and was about to stand up when he pulled me towards him and made me sit down on his lap.
I felt his erection on my back and my cheeks began to heat up. He clearly looked aroused and I can feel his arms tightened around my waist.
Why did you laugh? I asked him while I bit my lip, trying to suppress a moan.
He smiled at me tenderly and explained.
The spell that Subus did on me was a secret advanced time reverse spell for bodies that were damaged beyond repair. It was banned centuries ago when a magic user that was using the spell suddenly backfired on him and he ended up being destroyed. Somehow along the years that passed by, someone perfected the spell and I was the first one to be used on. It worked perfectly. Now Lion knows the much coveted spell and it's all thanks to the mistake that Subus made since Lion thinks that Subus didn't intend to use that spell on me.
He also told me that even if I wasn't healed by Subus, he would still want me and I already owned him, his body, mind and soul.
A tear trickled down my cheek and I snuggled closer to Lion while he licked the tear on my cheek.
In the corner of my eye, I still see the moons shining more brilliantly than usual.
I held his face with my hand and told him,
Make me your mate
