I refused to look at him any longer, turning my face to the ground, biting back tears as he rained down kisses on my body, not waiting until our royal nuptials to claim me again, it seemed.
“Why now?” I asked solemnly, joy and anger and sadness warring within me. “Why return now?”
My breath hitched as he clamped a solid lunerian bracelet around my wrist. I was sure the jewel in the center was worth more than all the lunerian coins melted underneath the tower’s rubble.
“What type of crown prince would I be if I did not return as this lands future king? How could I swear to protect you forever, if I couldn’t make sure no one would dare touch a hair on your precious head ever again?”
And just like that, a dam broke inside of me, and I threw myself into into his arms, no longer satssifed with his playful kisses. Without a word, he swooped me into his arms, rolling me to my side as he captured my lips hungerily.
I unfastened a button near his collar. He was silent as I pushed his cloak aside, palming his chest. Ziran seemed bigger and stronger than ever, but he was also more broken and vulnerable.
“Enough dwelling on the past. We have our future to embrace now, sweet omega. Please, touch me and help me remember what it felt like to be whole again with you.”
Ziran propped himself on his elbows and tried to kiss me, but I held my lips just far enough away so he couldn’t close the distance. Then, I forced him back to the ground, slamming my hands down, straddling his waist.
“Enough riddles, alpha. Enough lies. Tell me, is Gotham dead? Tell me what I can do to make up for it. You told me to run, but I should’ve never left you to shoulder such a heavy burden alone.”
In his absence, I had learned much more about the Elohime, Kindred, and Humans who populated these lands. More than anything, I learned what it meant to be royalty during my brief visits to seaside towns for supplies the oceans could not grant me. I learned how cutthroat and wicked the courts were, none more so than the ancient fae throne.
How could I leave my alpha to face such impossible odds, injured and alone. Did I not know the infinite pain loneliness can instill in the soul? How could I inflict that on the one I held most dear?
“Enough, Rei. You followed your alpha’s orders. It was never your burden to bear. Never. I only wish it didn’t take me so long to return to you and them. But first, I had to sort out the road ahead. Make it safe.”
And with that, Ziran refused to answer any more of my questions. He gripped my face and crushed my lips to his in a hungry, savage kiss that stole my breath away. I panted, grinding against him, desperation replacing my despair.
We pulled away, and I smiled at his radiant smile. Ziran grinned ear to ear as he always did in the past and in my dreams.
“Touch me, more, omega mine,” Ziran whispered, my hands resting on either side of his face. “Come closer, Rei, so I can relearn the shape of your body and burn the image into my head. Come for me too, while I bury myself to the hilt inside you.”
I kissed my mate with trembling lips, losing myself in his taste. His scarred hands roamed my body through my clothes, but it wasn’t nearly enough for me. I wanted him to touch me deeper, harder, so that I would never forget what it felt like to be held by him again.
Ziran’s fingers roamed through my cropped hair, nipping at my bottom lip so his tongue could enter my mouth. My eyes fluttered fully shut, as slowly, Ziran flipped our bodies until he was over top of me.
He kissed me harder and deeper, a hint of anger mixed with despair as his magic tugged at my heartstrings, trapping me in his embrace. I clung to Ziran, clawing at his back, desperate to wipe away the stain of his absence, of my cowardice, of every second and moment he was away.
We wrestled, tumbling through the dewy grass, tearing at each other’s clothes until I was naked and he was fully nude, struggling to hold back as he rubbed his knotted cock against my bare ass.
“I want your cock in me now, alpha,” I begged, helping him to free himself so I could take my fill of him.
Ziran groaned as I palmed his shaft, and pumped the length of his cock until I cupped the dripping head. It felt like he’d cum any second, and I didn’t want to waste a single drop of his seed. I needed it inside me. I needed him to fuck his knot into me and breed my ass again. Mark me. Claim me, as his omega, now and forever.
I didn’t need to prepare myself, guiding his cockhead to my hungry hole. He thrust inside, balls deep, in one fluid motion as I wailed. And yet it still wasn’t enough.
“Harder,” I demanded, clutching his shoulders.
Ziran cupped my waist, gripping it so hard I was sure he bruised me as he drilled inside of me.
“You’re all mine now,” Ziran rasped, and it was my undoing. “Good boy. Now come for me.”
“Rei! I’m so sorry, Rei. I’m… Ah! Rei… Rei… Rei!” he chanted my name, mumbling incoherent pleas for mercy even as he punished me.
But honestly, being filled to the brim with his love wasn’t a punishment at all, no matter how sorrowful.
His lips lingered on my forehead, his hands tracing my body again. Wetness hit my cheek, which I mistook for morning dew until I saw the tears pooling in the corners of his unseeing gaze.
At the sight, I couldn’t help but cry, too. To my amazement, a bit of color returned to his eyes—just a bit—but it seemed I still had some magic left in me.
Ziran kissed my cheek and said, “You are my cure. Your love. I can’t live without it anymore.”
