The Awakening

**James**

I catch her in the air. What could have happened. Did that explosion come from inside her? - "Vicky, please, please."

She was breathing, weak, but yes, she was alive. I pulled her away from the crowd. Dario ran to see her. Marcelo tried to touch her.

"Take your hands off my mate"; James growlead.

"Hold back! I need to see if it's magic." Marcelo said.

"James, I know it's hard, but he's right. And Marcelo, don't provoke him."

"You wolves are very possessive", the wicht laughed.

"What's wrong with her?" -It was Valeska who asked.

"We don't know yet. Is there a room where we can take her?" - Marcelo asked.

"You can stay in Dimitri's wing, he would like that."- The blonde said.

I growled loudly. Caspian pushed me forward:"Calm down, brother, think about her now."

"Follow me, Valeska said."

Vampire or not, she seemed to care about Vicky.

Dário, Marcelo and Serenius discussed how to solve things. The vampire went to provide us with food and fresh water. A witch, Megan, followed us. Marcelo said she could help her wake up.

Her breathing improved, but she was still unconscious. I wouldn't leave her side and Caspian placed two devils at the bedroom door for our safety.

The witch lit some incense and a candle. Then she concentrated and I could feel an energy emanating from her. A few minutes later, she opened her eyes and said that Marcelo was coming to talk to me.

I looked at her, so beautiful and so brave. I missed having her in my arms so much. Will we get over this? I always knew she was too young. I even tried to stay away from her so she could live her youth longer before we marked each other.

However, I was at war with myself. Let her go or fight for her to come back to me? I needed time, and so did she. As long as she was safe. I just couldn't resist being around her for long. If she wanted space, I would have to move away. It was unbearable to see her with someone else, much worse to feel the physical pain of betrayal.

Marcelo entered the room and said: "James, the good news is that she will wake up soon. Physically she is fine, but her body is adapting to magic."

" What do you mean? She never had magic."

"Yes. Her magic was taken away by Jean when she was born. But it was stored in the family's energy system. If she died, her only blood bond, Jean would receive her powers."

"So, he wanted her for that?"

"Yes. He kept her as a trump card to hide his thirst for power. When he became king, he would kill her or have her killed, like he did with my mother."

"Scoundrel. And what's the bad news?"

"Well, we don't know what her gifts are. Diana will need some time to adapt, to learn how to deal with this. I ask that you consider whether it would be good for her to spend some time in the Kingdom of Magic."

"How long?"

"One to two months."

"I don't want to. But this decision will be hers. I just want to get her out of here. I don't feel like we're safe here."

"I understand that. As soon as she wakes up, we can go. I want to take her home."

"Her home is in our pack."

Dário entered the room and spoke like a true king: " She's a wolf and she's going to return to the lycan kingdom. When she's well, if she wants to go and see the kingdom of the witches, she can go visit them. They are companions, Marcelo, don't ruin what the Moon goddess built for them."

"I understand your point of view.", Marcelo said.

"Now I need to talk to you about a few things, since you're now assuming the throne and a place on the Council. Let's let them rest in peace, James' presence will help her heal faster."

I thanked Dário mentally. I went to take a shower and carefully lay down next to her, without waking her up. I think I dozed off for a few minutes and felt her turning over in bed and snuggling up to my chest. I barely breathed so I could stay there with her as much as possible.

When I woke up, I had my nose buried in her hair and was hugging her, like we usually did when we slept. She was already awake, but I don't think she wanted to disturb me.

"Hi." she said.

"Hi. Are you feeling okay?"

"Yes. And you, James?"

"Better now that you're awake, love."

"James, no..."

"Sorry. It's just habit."

"Do you say that out of habit?"

"No, I really do love you, very much. And..."

She jumped on top of me. And kissed me and I kissed her with all the longing I had for her.

"Forgive me, Vicky, I was wrong, I pushed you away from me…"

" Let's not talk about this today, please. I'm so tired and confused with so much that happened, feeling so lost… We can just have a normal day today, just living in the present moment, without missing the past or the future. Can you do that, James? No questions, no choices, no promises. Just you and me, just for today."

"I want this more than anything. I want to forget where we are and just be you and me. As if we were in our house, watching a movie, or making love in the cave, or you lying on my lap while I read a book."

Vicky has tears in her eyes and I did too.

"Veny says she misses Tunder a lot."

"Tunder misses her a lot too. He says he loves her very much and always will."

"I'm going to take a shower, are you coming?"

"Yes, love."

I filled the bathtub with very hot water for her to relax in, soaped her up, washed her hair. Then I took her out of the bathtub and dried her, placing her sitting on the sink, wrapped in a towel.

She pulled me between her legs, I looked her in the eyes, ripped off her towel, held her in my lap with one arm and pressed her against the wall. I ran my thumb along the contour of her lips, she moaned. And she opened them for me. I entered her with everything, with my shaft in her slit and my tongue in her mouth and we exploded together there. Then, I sucked the mark I left on her and bit her again, licking her afterwards.

She was already wet for me again. I took her to the bed and made her cum with my tongue drinking all her liquid. I continued kissing her body. Hearing her call for God and my name was music to me.

She turned on top of me and rode me while I grabbed her delicious ass. When we came once more, she screamed my name and fell next to me. I grabbed her hair and put her on all fours, biting her ass and licking and kissing her.

We were sleeping in each other's arms when we smelled food. I went to the door, grabbed the cart with dinner, and brought it to us.

We were happy, hungry, and ecstatic. We fell asleep in each other's arms. I told her I loved her, she told me she loved me. I didn't need to hear anything else.
