Chapter 2: Chapter one
Killian's POV
Once I got the confirmation that it was him I decided to skip school. However, I didn't return to the pack house. Instead I went to the only place I always felt safe, no matter how unsafe it was. I climbed up the side of the cliff and shimmied across the familiar ledge. I sighed a breath of relief as soon as I stepped into the hidden cavern away from the heavy rain. My eyes looked around the rather large area until I was satisfied that it was empty. I sat down with my legs folded under me and opened my mouth. Nobody was around for miles so there was no one to care if my voice carried past the flowing water of the waterfall. The words of "Your Not There" by Lukas Graham fell from my lips as I used a stone to draw on the floor of the cave. As the last word floated through the air I could hear someone clap. Startled, I turned to see who it was and froze when my eyes met his grey ones.
"What are you doing here? In this town?" I asked without emotion. I didn't really know how to feel about the entire situation. He looked taken aback for a moment but it didn't take long for his features to fall.
"I was looking for you." he answered and I looked away from him. Instead I looked over to the old carvings that we had made as children. It was hard to believe we were back there again.
"Why? There was no way that you knew I was your mate." I asked and we fell into silence. He walked over and sat down in front of me with his back against the other side of the cave.
"I wanted to see you again. Is that not reason enough?" he asked and I thought about my response and knew it was time to tell him.
"I don't know how I feel about that. The boy I thought died with my heart showed up at my school and come to find out he is my mate. It is a hell of a lot to take it and if you just wanted to see me then why not talk to me sooner?" I responded void of emotion once again. His eyes moved from my face to the stone floor and I felt my heart sink. Maybe he never cared about me the way I cared about him.
"Did you really love me?" he asked with tears in his eyes. My own eyes widened as my heart rate picked right the fuck back up. Why does he affect me so? Is it the mate bond?
"I never stopped but there is some-" I started but was quickly cut off by his plump lips on my own. It took me a moment to respond to the urgent and heated kiss but once I did, it was amazing. Sparks shot through me with every move of our lips, my body hummed with recognition, but it came to a stop a few moments later.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have done that… yet" he mumbled with red cheeks and moved back. Without thinking, my right hand shot out and grabbed his shirt. I yanked him back and crashed our lips together. This time, it was less urgent and more exploratory as his tongue found its way into my mouth. I had wanted to kiss him for an eternity and now that it happened, it was so much better than my best day dream.
"I would say sorry but honestly i'm not. I have wanted to do that for a long time and I plead YOLO as my defense." I smirked after we pulled apart.
"I think that only works for mortals but I don't regret it either." he mumbled as he placed a peck on my forehead.
"I was a mortal until my last birthday. Then, BAM, I was the most powerful being on this side of the Canadian border!" I huffed as he listened with amusement in his eyes.
"Most powerful being, huh?" he asked and I nodded with an exasperated sigh. I wanted to keep my identity a secret but he was my mate. It was only fair that I fill him in on everything.
"So there are four things that you need to know asap. Where would you like me to start?" I asked and he thought for a moment.
"How about you start with after my supposed death?" he suggested and I frowned at having to explain my time with the fulkturts.
"You want my entire life story?" I asked as I looked at him like he lost his damn mind. He nodded, not even ashamed of the fact. I sighed as I thought about how to start and how to explain some of it.
'You don't need it to be aloud, just show him.' Selene commented and she was right. I hadn't thought of it since we did it the first time. I internally thanked her as I raised my hands to the sides of my mates face. He looked surprised for a moment but I just showed him a small smile before I showed him my life. His eyes fell closed as I showed him my parents as they told me he was dead, when my parents died, my adoption, my life with the fulkturts, and finally that I had two mates. It took awhile for me to show him everything but as I pulled my hands away, his eyes remained closed.
"I'm shocked that you didn't hold anything back." he mumbled after a few minutes. His eyes fluttered open as I tilted my head. Did he already know about my past?
"What do you mean?" I asked as my heart beat sped up. I hoped with all of my heart not to be rejected by him.
"To be honest, I already knew some things about your past. My friends and Emory and Conner arrived this morning and I hadn't seen you in a week. I asked for Conner's help to find where you lived. We found the police reports and the charges against your adoptive parents. Though, I had not expected you to have a second mate or for you to be the moon Goddess." he replied and I nodded. I had no idea where things would go from here but I didn't regret letting him know what my life looked like.
"The question now is after all that, can you accept what my life will look like? Can you accept me?" I asked as my heartbeat went crazy. I could feel each pump of blood but before he could answer I screamed in pain. It started in my chest and then expanded into my head. It kept going until my entire body was engulfed in pain. I withered in pain as tears escaped my eyes. I heard a voice as they tried to talk to me but the blood pounded in my ears. I reached my hand up to my chest only to feel claws instead of finger tips.
"Hold on, Killian. It seems we are shifting into my form for the first time. We must have needed to meet our mate before we could shift." Amelia explained and once I understood, I let it happen. As each bone shifted and reformed my new body I released pained cries. The blood pounded in my ears as the hour of pain passed.
To say I was relieved when the shift ended was an understatement. Although, as I opened my eyes and looked around amazed. Everything was so clear… so sharp… so beautiful. The colors were brighter, even black seemed to be clearer and have its own type of glow. I could also see every detail the cave had to offer, every speck of dust was caught by my newly focused eyes. Then I noticed my other senses were equally as enhanced as I heard every patter of water droplet, every sensation across what was my fur, but what held my attention was the intoxicating smell of mangoes and pineapple. The scent that once haunted me at school was so strong that it clouded my other senses. What was my nose had turned into a snout and I wasted no time and searched for the source as the scent.
"Killian?" a deep but familiar voice called out. In an instant Amelia pushed for control and I allowed her control as I had not yet learned how to control our new body. She took her time to appreciate our mate's handsome features as I watched through her eyes.
