Cooper

My thoughts ground to a halt as I looked at the pink haired pixie. Swear fealty to a Clutch of Vampires?

She laughed. “It’s really not that bad. Remember what Nat was saying, how she’s connected with us? It’s like that,” she patted her chest for emphasis, “except, it’s all the time.”

He had never known that level of comfort, not since his family was whole. In fact, he had searched for that very feeling his entire life without truly realizing what he was trying to find, until now.

“It’s a blood ritual,” Sora added from the couch. “Nat underwent the same thing when we accepted her into our Clutch.”

His brows lowered as he recalled his brother dabbling in Blood Magic. “What does it entail?”

Blaze answered with a smirk, “Sora, you, and myself, all dribble some blood into a chalice and drink. Normally, it is performed in front of the entire Clutch and is a cause for celebration. Now, however, in the interests of time and the impending war, it would just be the three of us.”

Viv lifted her hand and flipped Blaze off, “Um no, Fang Boy. I’m here, too.”

Blaze nodded, “Fine.”

Curiously, he asked, “When would this ritual happen?”

“Now,” Blaze replied in a tone that brooked no argument.

“It’s okay, Cooper. Really,” Sora said softly. “It isn’t dark magic. Magic is neither dark nor light, it’s the user’s intent that colors it one way or the other. We have no ill will toward you.”

Cooper relaxed at Sora’s words, “Fine. Get your cup.”

Blaze reached below the bar and pulled out a small, golden chalice. It seemed he’d has this planned all along.

With a snick of his fangs, Blaze punctured his palm. Fisting his large hand, he trickled a few drops into the cup and licked the wounds.

He was so engrossed by the display, he didn’t notice Sora beside him until her hand reached for the chalice.

Her starlit gaze caught his as she repeated her Mate’s process. Finished, she handed him the cup and looked imploringly to Blaze.

Blaze intuited her question and produced a small pocket knife.

Cooper took the offered blade without a word and slashed the meat of his palm. Making a fist, he mirrored their actions.

Blaze took the cup and swirled its contents while he healed his wound.

Satisfied, his deep bass boomed, “We are yours, as you are ours. One Family. One Clutch. Now and always.”

Sora softly repeated his words as Blaze lifted the chalice and took a sip before passing it to his bloodstained hand. Here goes nothing, he thought, and took a sip.

Sora took the cup from his hand and downed the entire thing. Slamming it to the bar, her fangs descended and she hissed, “Mine.”

A sharp pain lanced his heart, dropping him to knees below the bar. As quickly as it had come, it was almost instantly replaced with… love? Well-being? His chest expanded as he explored the sensation. A part of one whole; he now knew what he had been seeking for so long.

He was home.
