Chapter Eighteen

Rolling over, Dakar rubbed his head. “Did you get the number of the truck that hit me?” He asked as he opened his bleary eyes. The first thing he noticed was that he was in Sy’s bed and he inhaled sharply, letting his mate’s scent work its magic on his tired body. Turning slightly, he saw Sy was sitting in a large chair, the skin under his eyes bruised, his curls a mess and his eyes were dull as though he hadn’t slept for a week. “You look tired, sweetness. Come over here. I don’t bite.” He patted the covers beside him.

“Brock told me you’d need food as soon as you woke up.” Sy’s elegant fingers were twisting on his lap. “Shifter metabolism is faster than other paranormals and humans, requiring large amounts of food to keep the animal side strong. You’ve been hurt…you….” Sy’s voice broke.

Shaking the last dregs of sleep from his system, Dakar sat up and swung his legs over the bed.

“You can’t get up until you’ve fed.” Sy jumped up from his chair. “I’ll get Brock. He can…he can….”

“I need to hold you,” Dakar said firmly. “My wolf doesn’t like you being so far away from us, especially after last night.”

“Last night? Last night? It’s been three days. You’ve been here three days, just lying there…,” Sy mumbled as he took a step closer and all at once Dakar understood why his mate was upset.

“Come here, please,” he begged softly. “All I want to do is hold you. I want to hold you in my arms while you tell me what I missed.”

“I’ve never been so frightened for another person before,” Sy admitted, his voice nothing more than a whisper as he stepped into Dakar’s embrace. “Brock said, he told me the magic was meant for him. If you’d been a smaller man, or in your human form you would’ve died. You didn’t shift back until last night. I don’t understand what I’m feeling but I don’t like it and I don’t know how to handle it.”

“Oh Sy,” Dakar knew exactly what Sy was feeling; the same way he’d felt since he knew the young Necromancer was his mate. “You care about me and that’s exactly the way it should be between mates. You were scared for me and you’ve no idea how good that makes me feel.” Raising Sy’s face gently with his hands, up close Dakar could see how stressed his mate had been and something in his heart unfurled. “We have a connection, you and I. Once claimed, you will always know where I am or if I’m in any danger. You’ve promised me wards on my skin to help protect me from something like this ever happening again and if for some reason, the Fates felt it was time for me to pass, I would never leave the edge of the veil, no matter what forces compelled me to. I will always, in this life and the next, want you close to me.
