Taking notes

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Hi! Could you write Gavriel x reader??

Gavriel x Gnreader

Summary: You weren't a morning person really. But when it came down to your mate, you always enjoyed the extra few minutes of waking up early, just to muse over his beauty.

Author's note: Just thought of a cute little imagine. Give me a follow if you liked it<3

Mornings like these

Your eyes reluctantly peeled open to the soft rays of sunshine peeking through the blinds. Yawning a little, you burrowed yourself closer to your mate's body, so as not to wake him. His arm thrown protectively around you, immediately tightened, as if on reflux. Smiling to yourself, you lace your fingers through his.

It was quiet, lovely mornings like these that you cherished the most. The mornings when he woke up later than you, when you got to admire him in your arms, with little to no traces of the beast he was the night before. You grew to love this side of him more than ever.

For him, it took him quite some time to let down his guard, to be this vulnerable, even with you. You could never blame him though, for you have been through all of his despair together. You never left his side, even when the mating bond settled, reassuring him from time to time, that you were safe and that nothing could hurt you, with him by your side.

Slowly, he eased just enough to let himself rest from his past trauma. And when he felt like he couldn't escape the throes of his past, you were there with your mate, soothing the wounds on his heart. Soon, nightmares turned infrequent and sleeping became more peaceful. And along with that, mornings became something beautiful of shared warmth and tangled up sheets.

Moments like these with him, mattered deep and you weren't ready to let go of it just yet.

You turned around gently, as Gavriel stirred, pulling you impossibly closer, making you hyper aware of every inch of skin, that was in contact with his. Chuckling softly, you tilt your head to look up at his sleeping face.

He was so handsome. His hair had grown impressively longer since you had first met him. The trickling sunlight caught his golden lashes, making him look almost ethereal. Full lips that he had parted ever so slightly in sleep, begged your attention but you held yourself back. Instead you pressed a soft kiss to his shoulder, where your head rested comfortably.

Sometimes when he didn't notice, you had to pinch yourself to make sure you weren't dreaming of this perfect fae as such, being yours. And you always thanked whatever forces that brought you two together.

Gavriel shifted a bit again as the sunshine became more prominent on his face, this time stretching himself and you knew he was awake by then.

"Morning love"

He blinked at you, a feline smile curving his lips.

"Good morning Beautiful. How do you feel?"

His morning voice caused a rush of warmth to your face, alongside the things he'd done to you the night before. Gavriel had taken his time with you while also being impossibly gentle. He had just come back from a trip and he had promised to show you how much he missed you. So he did.

You smiled back at him, simply knowing that being the thoughtful male he was, he would ask you this, the first thing in the morning.

"I feel amazing. YOU were amazing"

"Glad to hear", he said, stroking your back affectionately. His tawny-orange eyes seemed to glow when he looked at you, as if you held the secrets of the universe. It was very sweet to say the least.

You smoothened a finger across his cheek.

"I love you so much"

"So do I dove. You have no idea"

You had to tilt your head, as he went in for your lips covering it with his soft ones. "How are you so incredibly sexy and beautiful even in the morning?", He whispered between kisses.

You chuckled.

"I should be the one asking you love. Everyday I look at you, it's like looking at a beautiful painting come to life, in its truest form. I can never get enough of you"

He stretched his bare body above you, delicately placing kisses on your eyes, the tip of your nose, your cheeks and your mouth. His hand came to rest on your waist, as he kissed the hollow of your throat.

"My beautiful mate"

You led him back to your lips to kiss him with more passion, to convey more things that simply words cannot.

And so he obliged, turning the lazy morning into a busy one, with neither of you willing to part from each other to start with the day.

You never wanted the dawn of another day to end. Now and forever.

[readerxlovestay]

Welcome back!💘

Omg thank you!! I really appreciate it<3

[readerxlovestay]

This brings back so many memories. Such good writing 😭

The music of your laughter.....

We're poles apart...

Yet once again....the opposites attract....

Fe!reader x Aedion Ashryver

Request: Aedion meets with his pregnant mate, after returning back from war. They have a touching moment after feeling the baby kick for the first time.

T/w: None

Ref: Y/n - Your name

H/c - Hair colour

Author's note: I'm back and I'll be posting again yay.

Aedion:

Aedion tore through the war camp, discarding any of his remaining blood crusted leathers outside, before entering his own tent. He should get home fast, now that the damn war was over. Five months. He had to go through five months of absolute torture of being separated from his lovely, pregnant mate. Is she well? Is she taking enough rest? Is the babe fine? He could not take away his mind from her.

Even though he received letters regularly from his mate in Terrasen, and he wrote back a few whenever he could, it still hurt him that he couldn't be with her for one of the most biggest things of their lives. He wanted to take care of his mate, be there for every step in their newfound love and see his mate's eyes sparkle with happiness everytime he lovingly caressed her belly. He wanted to go back and give her all of his love, for the lost five months, hold her tight and never let go again.

And so he wanted to get on with his work and leave for home, to his mate, as soon as possible. Thankfully, there has only been a minimal amount of damage to his army, therefore The Bane was easily able to defeat the other side and gain victory in a matter of days.

Cleaning himself up in the small bath set in the corner of his tent, he glanced at the small ornate box where he stored all his mate's lovely handwritten letters. His lips pulled into a smile. The most recent one he got from her was two weeks ago.

"Recently, Aelin has been too fussy with me. She keeps asking me how the babe is and how I am feeling, once in every two seconds. This morning I had to hide in the gardens to escape from being coddled by her and when she found me, I was lectured for almost an hour and I thought my ears would bleed. I can really see why some of you call her mother hen. I can't take it anymore Aedion, I think I'm going mad, please come back soon so I can end this monstrosity", it read.

Maybe I shouldn't tell her that it was me who asked Aelin to take care of her in my absence, he thought with a laugh.

He sent a sliver of warmth through the mating bond, missing y/n's presence. He sighed. Just a little bit more longer, he thought. Then I'll get to see her again.

Y/n:

You looked at yourself one more time in the mirror.

H/c waves fell from the half braid on your head, framing your beautiful face with a flourish. Your eyes were lined with kohl and soft shadows dusted over your eyelids, giving your eyes the attention that they deserved. The light blue gown you wore, pooled around your feet, bathing you in satin.

Absent mindedly you rest your hand on your protruding belly as you smile to yourself, feeling giddy. Somehow, you went five months without being with him, patiently, and yet you weren't able to contain yourself for another hour. Truth to be told, it was painful for you to be separated from him during these crucial days of hormonal changes and needs. Sure, Aelin was a huge help as much as a mother hen she was, no one could fill the space that Aedion created. You desperately needed him every month when you entered another stage of pregnancy. You craved his presence, his reassuring words and most of his sensual touch. No one could make you feel like he did.

Slowly standing up from the chair, you move to the door daintily. You couldn't just stay in your room anymore, even though you had been carefully instructed by Aelin to rest until your mate arrived. You shrug to yourself. You would be fine. Besides, you were pretty sure you wouldn't have the energy to get out of bed anyway after Aedion arrives.

Blushing, you made your way downstairs.

Aedion:

He was finally here. He was back in Terrasen. His gait was steady as he made his way to the Throne Room. Although his mate was the only thought in his mind, he had a duty to his Queen. He would meet his mate right after reporting the status of his soldiers and the battle to Aelin.

Walking inside the Throne Room, he expected no welcome of sorts. After all, he was an Army General and being away on duty was his job. But what he didn't expect was, the room filled with the people he was close with, congratulating him on his little heir on the way. Lorcan, Elide, Lysandra, Fenrys, even Chaol and Yrene.

Aelin and Rowan were the one of the first ones to meet him.

"The Bane has been able to-"

"Hush"

Aelin shushed him.

"You're back after five months, and this is not the first thing I wanna hear from you"

"Where is the responsible Queen now?" Aedion laughed as she smiled at him.

"Y/n has been missing you like crazy"

He smiled back at her. "Where is Y/n?"

"Here", Y/n's voice echoed.

He turned around to watch the crowd part, to reveal his mate.

His mate smiled softly at him. She looked absolutely breathtaking in the golden light of the sun. His breath hitched as he took in her beautiful form and her hand resting protectively on her stomach. Y/n. He immediately went towards her, everyone else forgotten.

Mate. Mate. Mate. His bond sang with anticipation and longing.

Y/n looked up at him, eyes shining with unshed tears.

"Aedion"

He carefully pulled her into his arms at once. "My beautiful wife", he said smoothing down the back of her head. "I finally get to hold you again"

She sniffled but said nothing, tentatively wrapping her arms around his form. She looked up. Aedion kissed the top of her head and her forehead as she did so.

"I missed you", she said, tightening her hold around him. He said nothing as he gently caressed her face, brushing away the few tears that escaped her eyes.

"Love, you have no idea"

He tilted her face to his as he kissed her lips slowly, gently, as if she would break if held too tight.

On the contrary, her lips were desperate to show how bad she wanted this, him. Her arms entwined behind his head. He couldn't help but run his hands down her body as he countered her kiss, immediately wanting her under him panting, and crying out his name.

But he had something else to do, before anything.

He pulled back and leaned his forehead on hers. "Love"

She looked back at him breathless, with a light dusting of blush on her face.

Oh how incredibly sexy she looked right then.

"I love you", she whispered.

His hand caressed her belly. "Guess I would have to love you twice more now" She giggled as he kissed the tip of her nose. He bent down to her stomach.

"My little one, dad's here and he's never letting you and mama alone" He kissed her tummy, feeling the little thumps of his heir's heartbeat. He felt like he had never heard such a sweet sound.

Leaning his cheek against his mate, he smiled, eager to hear more of his infant.

The little heartbeat that he heard again, felt like a ray of sunshine for him..

"You're gonna be my beautiful bundle of joy, just like your mama", he said, gently running his hands down her tummy.

Just as he was about to pull away, he felt a little press against his cheek, from the inside. Y/n gasped. He tried to stand up straight but his mate pushed him back against her stomach.

"Love what is it? Are you alright?", Aedion was concerned.

She looked awestruck.

"The babe just kicked"

His eyes widened. "Are you sure?"

She nodded, eyes glistening. "For the first time"

He leaned back against her. "Little one, did you just kick your mama?"

Another little shove against his cheek. He laughed lightly, eyes filling up. "Guess that's a yes"

He looked up at his mate. The gorgeous being that made their love ten times better by carrying their child.

He hugged her middle. "Y/n I love you"

She laughed running her hands through his long, blond hair. "Twice more?"

"Twice more, thrice more, maybe even as big as the stars are"

She giggled.

He kissed her tummy before rising up. She smiled up lovingly at him. "I love you Aedion"

He took her back into his arms.

"I know you do", he said kissing her once again, this time sneaking in some of the passion he had been reigning in, for the sake of others.

Others.

That reminded him.

He pulled away abruptly to look around, only to find the room empty, and his mate laughing at him.

"Oh sweetheart, they left a long while ago"

He smiled at her laughing form, fondly.

"I will get back to them all later. For now, we both have unfinished business to attend to"

She paused to delicately raise a single eyebrow. "And what would that be?"

"This"

He dove in for her lips again, this time wild and with no restraints. Her knees went slightly weak and he swung her legs up in his arms, carrying her out, bridal-style, still kissing her. Her soft lips parted, seeking out the clash of tongues and teeth.

He gave in to her desires, carrying her all the way to their room, in the mostly empty castle, the few people seeing them, diverting their gazes, smiling.

Soon they were both back on their shared beds, clothes discarded somewhere in the room along the way, where they stayed for most of the day, cherishing and loving each other for all the five months they'd lost. He was back where his heart belonged.

Can I request something for gavriel being protective of his mate? Like he wouldn’t let her do anything and he dotes on her always

She’s fae and NOT PREGNANT! 😭😂

Gavriel x Fe!Reader

Summary: You and Gavriel move in together and when he doesn't allow you to do the chores yourself, you just rant and tease him but he just melts your heart with his precious words🥺

Genre: Fluffy/Angsty at the end

Tw: Over-protectiveness

Author's note: Hi Anon! I'm sorry if it's short and specific, I wasn't feeling too well today. I tried my best. Hope you like it! Take care❤️❤️ (they're definitely not pregnant;))

You open your bleary eyes to the bright sunlight pouring in from the windows. You feel Gavriel still sleeping peacefully behind you. Flipping over to the other side as not to wake him, you scoot closer into his warm chest. His arms automatically tighten around your waist and you smile. He was never a Fae to sleep in, and if he did, then it only meant that he was happy and content. You tilt your head up to press a soft kiss to his jaw. Mate. You silently sigh with happiness. It was almost a month after the mating bond fell in place and you had finally decided to move in together. Today you set all the furniture and decorations in your new home and you couldn't wait to make it all cozy and lovely. Having excited yourself, you just could not stay in bed anymore. Placing another kiss to Gavriel's neck you gently wiggle out of his grasp and lay a pillow between him arms. There. He wouldn't wake up now. You grab some clothes way out, since your old ones were all torn up and scattered around the room by your mate when both of you made love last night. You grin at the memory, putting up your hair with a spare clutch.

Now time to get to work.

-time skip-

You had moved two sofas and most of the furnishings out of the way, when Gavriel comes out of your bedroom, heading straight for you. He pulls you in by the waist, catching your lips softly by his own. "Good morning love", he murmurs. You smile into his lips, linking your hands behind his head. "Morning to you too" He pulls back taking in the conditions of the house and looks at you. "That's enough work done for today, now go rest" You chuckle. "Hey I was just getting started! Don't tease me so" He tilts his head. "I wasn't joking love" Shaking your head, you move away from him to push a table to its rightful place. "What are you doing?" He tugs you back towards a chair and starts to pick up a bunch of things from the moving box.

"I can do it"

You shake your head at him. "Well so can I"

He looks at you from where he was stacking up the cupboards. "You can, but I'm not going to let you" Your mouth pops open in surprise. "Wha- Gavriel why?!" He walks over to where you were forced to sit, and pecks you on the head. "Because my beautiful mate deserves to be spoiled" You pout and say"But I wanted to do this with you" He ruffles your hair. "You already did so much of work yesterday when the things had to be moved, so today you get to rest"

You glare at him. "I'm gonna let you know that, I'm also a Fae and right now you are acting like I'm the most fragile human in the world" He simply smiles at your outburst. "You will always be my fragile human even if you are the most powerful Fae on Earth" Even though you were amused at his, you weren't exactly thrilled that he didn't let you do any work.

You tried to stand from the chair and he shot you a look that promised many things, if you disobeyed him. Smirking, you sat back down. You wouldn't mind getting him angry actually. As if hearing your thoughts, he gave you that sensual look again, making it very hard to stay still. You groaned. "Goddamnit Gavriel!"

-time skip-

After an hour, the whole process was complete under your supervision and instructions. You had obviously annoyed him by constantly asking if you could help, which had went to a point where he'd conducted a small make out session to shut you up. Only when he had moved the last of the things away, he'd let you have your way and make a fuss at how he was over protective over you

-Gavriel I have no idea why you are being too weird. I mean you almost always annoyingly protective over me but why this totally unwarranted, vexing sweet attention on me today?

-You know I love you

-Oh yes, let me see, love...where is that recorded in the book of Alpha Male 101?

-Y/n please

-Ohh it's right here - under How to be aggravatingly Over protective: Treating your mate as a delicate human will be so cute and nice until they begrudgingly accept it as love!

He snickers at your predicament and draws you against his warm, sculpted body. "I'll tell you where the love comes in" You quirk an eyebrow, signalling him to go on. "Today I realised that I love you more every passing day and working and doing things for you just reminds that I'm in love and being loved" You look at him with longing eyes "So when you scold me about the way I'm protective over you, it's not because I don't consider you strong, it's because I love being there for you and I don't..." His voice fades and he touches his forehead to yours.

You know exactly what would come next. I don't want anyone to feel what I've felt before.

You sigh. "I always love you Gav and I don't really mind that you're protective over me. I know that this is your way of showing affection and I appreciate it. But I would also like to participate in the things that would make both of us happy"

He smiles softly. "I know, I just wanted to let you know that I loved you". You chuckle and ask "Even though reminding me that every five minutes in a day is the norm around here?" He laughs. "Yes"

You smirk. "Okay. The favour will be returned" He just says "Gladly accepted", before meeting your lips with his own.

If you have reached up to this part, can you please comment or submit an ask if I should do more long/short/medium fanfics? Doesn't matter if you're my follower or not, most of my imagines are long but I would like to know people's opinion on this. Thanks!

Fenrys x Reader

Part 2

Part 1

Summary: You and Fenrys are goaded into going on a vacation/double date with Aelin and Rowan. After a game of beach ball, she reveals that it was her who had set up both of you. Just a fun imagine with all of our favourite characters.

Ref: y/n - your name

Tw: none

Genre: Fluff, slightly suggestive

A/n: This was such a fun one to write! And I have written it as the part 2 of the Nightmare imagine (right here - Part 1) which totally fit right in. I hope you guys like it too! Oh and in the last imagine, the reader regarded Aelin as the Queen and in this, I've made them like best friends just so it'll be even more enjoyable! I think this is one of my good ones (even if I say so myself;) Follow me if you like content like this! Bye! Xoxo❤️

Summertime and Sunshine ((A day with Aelin & Rowan))

You shielded your eyes from the glaring sun above. It was a particularly hot day in summer. Which was perfect, you decided as you stepped out of your clothes onto the soft sand. Goosebumps prickled along the length of your arms. Fenrys whistled under his breath.

The one-piece you wore clung to every inch of your damp skin, exposing each curve and shape of your body. Hi sexy, came his voice through the bond. Don't I already know that. You smirked at him. He raised his eyebrows in appreciation. Sassy today, aren't we?

Padding over to him, you tilted your head up. "Keep up with me then" He looked speechless for a moment before his lips caught yours in a heated kiss, the one that made yourself want to jump on top of him and taste him all over. He pulled you close, erasing any distance between you both, while his tongue did wonders in your mouth. You sighed against the warmth of him. He tasted divine like honeyed wine. His callused hands gripped you hard against his muscled body, roving all over your needy form.

Before any of you could get any more provocative, Aelin called you from under the hood of the canopy in the distance. "Hey lovebirds save some for later!" The sound of Rowan's laughter could be heard from beside Aelin, where she sat on a blanket on the sand before the sparkling waters. You broke apart, smiling sheepishly.

Your mate leaned his forehead on yours. "Gods, you're beautiful", he breathed. You slid your hands away from his sculpted body. "So are you", you grinned while pulling him away from the shade of the house both of you stood by. He threaded his fingers through your hand in a habit of practice. You absolutely loved the feeling of his hand holding yours, safe and warm.

Aelin smirked when she saw both of you approaching. "Looks like swimsuit is doing what you exactly wanted it to do" You flushed to the roots of your hair, but mumbled something about how it wasn't just you and Fenrys who wanted everyone nearby to either cover their eyes or ears all the time. She laughed. "I agree that Rowan and I can be vocal sometimes but it's not like we're the newly mated here" She eyed Rowan who was sprawled on the sand, head on her lap. You grimaced as you sat down beside her. "I know" "It's going to be like that for atleast a month Y/n, there's no need to be embarrassed about it" She tapped your cheek. "Honestly, you're both so cute together, who would've known" You glanced at your mate, who tilted his head.

"Are you sure it wasn't just you playing matchmaker?", Fen asked, drawing patterns on your hand. "Cause the situation seems a little too easy if we think about it" You nodded along with him. "What was the probability of us going to deliver a letter to Suria and the only inn we found was crowded to the fullest?"

Aelin feigned innocence. "I don't very well control the weather you know"

"Yes but it was you who sent both of us on that mission, and if I'm not mistaken, you were the most excited when we announced our bond", you exclaimed.

She even looked shocked. "Am I not even allowed to feel happy for my friends?!"

You looked at Rowan. "You don't have say in this?" He shrugged looking bored "I think it was just a coincidence which ended in something happy" You rolled your eyes but smiled. "Coincidence, sure" He grinned back at you. Shaking your head, you turned to Aelin. "And top of all that, it was your idea for this vacation/double date" She smiled devilishly. "Fun isn't it?"

It was indeed Aelin who suggested the idea. Your mind opened a memory from a month ago.

"I have a mate", was your first words to Aelin when you returned. "And it's Fenrys" She looked surprised at first, then happy. "Oh my God congrats!" She proceeded to embrace you. You hugged her back. "Tell me all about it", she commanded, grinning. You chuckled at her enthusiasm. "Well there was this place..." You told her about the one room tragic and how it turned into something good. However you left out the part where Fenrys was under the throes of his nightmare. It somehow felt very personal and like a secret between the two of you. Instead you told her it was YOU who had a nightmare and was comforted by Fenrys. She listened closely to each and every word you said and jumped at the part where you kissed him. "That's so sweet" You nodded. "Yeah and then after sending out the message, here we are"

Aelin's eyes twinkled. For someone who was the Queen of all Fae, she sure was a good girl friend when it came to the matters of males and lovers. You had always came to her when you had problems with feelings or anything with boys. She had always been the sister you longed to have. "So now what?" You asked her, already knowing she had a plan in her head. She looked at you with that villainous smile. "Now we go on a double date"

It was almost like she was waiting for it to happen. And now here you all were, at the summerhouse, having the most fun you'll ever have. It wasn't a bad idea, just a suspicious one coming from Aelin. She was the most dedicated Queen and though you know she totally would've went on a vacation after all these years, she didn't. And now that you had a mate, she was suddenly super interested in a double date for atleast a couple of days. It was like, as if she was waiting for this moment where you had a mate or atleast someone that she already knew.

"What are you thinking about babe?" You came to reality with a shake of your head. "Hm?" Fenrys combed his fingers through your hair, pulling your head back just a bit, to kiss your forehead. "You're having this look which usually means you're thinking of something intriguing" You laugh at his predicament. "Well I'm planning how Aelin and Rowan's defeat is going to be when we play beach ball later"

Aelin looked up from where she was lying down with Rowan in her shimmering gold bikini. "You think so?" You raised an eyebrow, grinning. "I know so" She got up on her elbows. "What are the stakes?" You tilt you head ever so slightly. "Winners get the house for the entire night" Fenrys paused in his running his hand through you hair. "And the losers?" "Gets the outside with the soft, soft sand" Aelin chuckled rising up. "Hear that Rowan? Losers get the sand, I think Y/n and Fenrys should look more into how to stay warm on the sand" Rowan winked. "We could give you a few pointers if you'd like" Your mate pulled you up with him. "Let's see who gets what tonight", you say to them both. "It's on" Fenrys grinned.

-time skip-

Even though Aelin and Rowan had the upper hand, you and Fenrys played equally hard. Finally when afternoon hit and everyone was sweaty and laughing, it was declared that you and your mate were the winners. Aelin tried to scowl but ended up chuckling. "Good game", she exclaimed, giving you and Fen a high five.

"Since you claimed you had more experience of staying out in the sand with Rowan, its only fitting you both are the losers", Fenrys said laughing. You laughed with him. "That's true"

Aelin, however, was more concerned. "Haha it was a joke wasn't it? You are not really going to let us sleep outside in the cold, 'cause I hate the cold, you know that!" You smile wickedly just like her.

"Uh oh that's not good"

You flip your hair to one side of your neck, exposing the other side to the warm breeze. "Well I just might let you stay outside, but I can revoke it ONLY-" She looked at you expectantly. "-If you admit the truth that you set us up" She groaned. "Really? Am I that obvious?" You raised an eyebrow. "It was you" She put her hands on her hips. "Ugh yes. It was a hunch and I wanted to test it out" You grinned. "That wasn't so bad after all" She rolled her eyes. "Obviously" Still grinning, you put your arm around her shoulder, pulling her towards the summerhouse. "Don't be cranky now, you can have the house all you want" She shook her head but let you pull her along.

Fenrys and Rowan entered the house talking about the game, laughing and slapping each other's backs. You stopped Aelin in the doorway. She looked at you quizzically.

"Thank you Aelin. For whatever it's worth, you did us both a favour by sending us there" She smiled warmly. "Of course Y/n. Just don't forget to love him, that's all I want"

"With all my heart"

if you’re ever about to comment on a writer’s work and think, oh, they probably know how good they are, you’re definitely wrong. every time a writer posts or publishes anything, no matter how many years they’ve been doing it and no matter how many readers they have, they are struck with the idea that perhaps they aren’t very good at all.

if you think you’re annoying for commenting, or that we won’t see your comments anyway, you’re wrong. we see your comments. we actively look for them. we are starved for them no matter how many we get. we remember them and they fuel us. leave comments, even if it’s just saying “oh i like this”. i see an “oh i like this” and my heart grows three times its size and i am seized with an urge to provide you more writing just to hear you say “oh i like this” again.

[readerxlovestay]

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that I'm back and up posting again! Here's my recent post : Gavriel x Reader

[readerxlovestay]

Thank you, you’re so sweet 🥺

Well how about Gavriel finding his mate after the events of the books and she's a lot younger than him and he's scared she would reject him and scared of aedion's reaction but aedion hypes him up and reassure him? 🥺

Gavriel x Reader

Summary: The reader is saved by Gavriel from a wild animal in the forest, and later they meet again when she loses her bracelet. And the meeting turns out to be a memorable one.

Reference: Y/n - your name

H/c - hair colour

E/c - eye colour

Y/c - your complexion

Author's note: Finally! I'm back guys! This is a cute idea but I had the writer's block right before I started so it took me a lot of tries before I got the plot right. Still is a bit messy, but I hope you like it. Lots of love❤️❤️❤️

Reader's Pov:

You picked at the wild cherries, looking around yourself anxiously. You weren't familiar to this part of the forest and it was almost sunset, just a few minutes shy of when you were asked to return back, by your aunt.

The chirping of the birds that flew off to their respective homes, the constant drone of the bugs and small creatures, were starting to put you on edge. You couldn't shake the feeling of being watched.

Originally from Allsorook, you were visiting your aunt in Orynth. She had wanted to make you your favourite sweet cherry pie but the important ingredient was missing from the pantry - the wild cherries that you were now plucking from the bush.

Also it was you who volunteered to go collect them from the woods. She had protested at first but upon your insistence, she gave in, with careful instructions to be quiet and safe. You had never ventured into these forests or anywhere near them, even though you visited your aunty every often.

Now, you almost regretted the decision to come here. You fiddled with your mum's bracelet, (a regular habit you'd developed as you grew up) while you inspected the fruits that had been picked. Maybe a few more cherries wouldn't hurt, you think as you quickly get back to work.

Narration:

She was right. Something was indeed watching her. Unbeknownst to Y/n, a panther lay in waiting among the bushes for the right time to strike. It sat until she drew her attention back to the basket of cherries. And very deliberately, it rose. A leaf crunched under its paw and she gasped and spun around, eyes wide. A silhouette in the shadows, it prepared to pounce, lips pulling back from its teeth in a silent snarl. A step back was all it took, and it surged, aiming right for a shocked Y/n.

Gavriel's Pov:

"So you nearly took out everyone?", Gavriel questioned. "Yes! And the best part was they weren't that kind of strength from us. It was exhilarating " Aedion replied.

They were talking a stroll in the woods by the castle, talking about the time that both Gavriel and Aedion missed during the War and before. "You should've been there", he added wistfully. Gavriel smiled. "I'm here now aren't I?" Aedion grinned at his father. "Yes and that's all that matters"

His heart swelled with pride and joy.

His son resembled his mother in so many ways. She would've absolutely loved to see them both reconcile. "What are you thinking about?"

"Your mother would be so proud of you Aedion" They were moving deeper into the forest, the castle towers fading into the distance.

The sun peeked from the clouds, bidding farewell, as it got ready for its daily slumber. Aedion looked back at him thoughtfully. "What was she like, my mother?" Gavriel caught up to him in two long steps.

"She was gentle as a dove and she was the prettiest lady all around. I have never seen her angry, she always had this beautiful smile on her face", he explained. "She had the patience of a mountain"

Aedion sighed.

"She sounds lovely, dad"

Gavriel patted his son's shoulder affectionately.

"Yes she-"

He stopped abruptly, his mind registering a cry for help. Aedion immediately went alert, weapons out, even though he couldn't hear anything. "What is it?"

Gavriel didn't answer as he shifted into his animal form. "Dad?" He started sprinting into a full run into the dense woods, before Aedion could even register the movement.

Gavriel kept racing, a feeling of terrible danger guiding him to its location. It urged him on.

Hurry, hurry, it seemed to whisper. The fear and danger of something, spurred him into action. He sprinted all the way to the other side of the forest in mere seconds, disturbing peaceful animals in his wake.

He leapt over a dense cover of trees, teeth bared.

Reader's Pov:

You thought you'd faint. Everything started happening in slow motion when you turned around. As if like in a memory, you saw yourself from a distance, eyes wide and unable to move as the panther slowly took off with a leap, claws out, lips pulled back from its teeth in a ferocious hiss, right at you.

You saw yourself flinch and brace for an attack that never came.

A huge lion leapt from the thickets and tackled the panther to the ground.

Both the animals went down in the dirt, clawing and biting at each other. The lion- mountain lion seem to have gained the upper ground within seconds.

Your body still in shock, didn't let you move. So you stayed put, even too afraid to breath.

The lion was too strong even for the panther. In mere seconds, the panther was pinned to the ground by the lion. However the lion only maimed the panther as not to hurt it but the panther was all fangs and claws.

Right in the middle of the brawl, the mountain lion snapped its head at you, as if remembering you were still there. Its eyes looked too perceptive to be an animal.

It blinked once and you stared back, unable to look away from the molten bronze in its irises.

Such beautiful eyes...

Finding an opening, the panther swiped it claws at the lion's chest, drawing blood.

Immediately the trance was broken and your body automatically moved to flight mode. Run Y/n, run!

You bolted, clutching the basket to your chest.

Everything was pure adrenaline as you zipped past trees and bushes, wanting to get away from there as quick as possible.

A branch threatened to take your eye out on the way, so you shoved it away, earning a scratch from its jagged edges. You didn't notice the pain until you reached the trail that you came through from.

You were almost safe then, considering you were out of the dreaded place, but fear kept you going till you reached your aunt's house.

You barged inside and settled the basket down, panting hard. Your concerned aunt reached for you, not before wiping her flour covered hands on her apron.

"Y/n? What happened? Why are you late?" She gently grasped your forearm, turning you towards her. "Dove, tell me"

You slowed down your breathing, trying to find the words. "I think- there was- it-", you stammered, shaking your head.

Your aunt made you sit down and have a glass of water. Only then, you were able to shake off the adrenaline and speak clearly.

You explaining about the panther and the lion and how you escaped. She looked shocked. "Lion? How very strange" You flicked your eyes to her. "The only lion we have around here is our Lion of Doranelle"

You shrugged. It didn't sound untrue. Those eyes. Your mind went back to the image of the stunning liquid fire eyes. The lion had looked at you keenly. As if peering inside your mind.

You laid your head down on the table tired and a sharp pain from your wrist drew your attention. "Ow" Right away your aunt started to get all stressed. "Oh no honey, are you alright? Here, let me see it!" You stretched your arm out to her, suddenly feeling something missing.

The gash had started to bleed, but that was not all.

You had lost your mother's bracelet in the chaos.

Gavriel's Pov:

Friend, lover, wife, partner, mate.

It hit him like a storm. Mate, mate, mate. The feeling of the bond was so strong that he had forgotten his place and just snapped his head at the girl. Striking E/c eyes, stared back at him. Gods she was beautiful. His sharp eyes took in her every detail. Messy h/c hair framed her face, bringing out the her lovely E/c colour. Her lips were parted in shock and she clutched a small basket in her hand.

Searing pain brought him back and he growled at the panther, with a strong blow to its abdomen. When he looked back, the girl was already gone.

A second later, Aedion burst out of the thickets, going straight for the animal. In no time, it fell down unconscious. He looked at Gavriel's animal.

"What happened here dad? Why were you fighting with a panther?"

He tossed some spare clothes to Gavriel who shifted back. He quickly put them on while Aedion inspected the area.

She was his mate. How could he be so blind? If he had been delayed even a single moment- No he didn't want to think about that.

Whoever she was, she was his, as much as he was hers. How was it even possible? Were mating bonds just thrown around? He couldn't even wrap his head around the fact that they haven't even met and yet they were mates. What would would everyone think? What would Aedion think?

"Dad"

Gavriel cleared his throat.

"Yes?"

Aedion looked at him, eyes narrowed. "I asked you a question that you haven't answered yet" He scrutinized Gavriel. "And you also seem very distracted, whats going on?"

Gavriel raked a hand through his golden hair, the only sign of unease he showed. "Its nothing"

Aedion raised his eyebrows. "Really? To shift out of nowhere, only to fight with a wild animal and then act strange afterwards is nothing?"

Gavriel crossed his arms. How was he going to tell him? Wasn't it a bit too late for him to have a mate now, when he had a son who was even more older than her?

Aedion turned to look at him "Dad tell me"

Gavriel looked straight at him. No point in hiding it.

"I have a mate"

He looked shocked "Mate?!" Gavriel winced.

"Yes there was this beautiful female who the panther almost pounced upon, but I came just in time to let her escape"

"And she's your mate?"

Gavriel nodded. Aedion shook his head to himself. "Why- How? How is it even possible? Mating bond? That too with someone you don't know?"

Gavriel sighed. "Yes and she's human. I managed to glance at her face before the panther tried its hand at me"

Aedion smiled slowly. "Well then, was she pretty?"

This was not how he was supposed to react. He should've been angry at Gavriel for wanting a mate and being too selfish. He should've shouted at him that he wasn't being fair to his mother but still he remained calm, if not a little surprised.

"Aren't you mad?" Gavriel asked him.

Aedion looked taken aback. "Mad for what?"

"Isn't this too late of a time to get mated Aedion? Would it be crude of me to flaunt that I have a mate, when I have son who is almost the same age as her?"

"What? Gods no" He shook his head. "Why would I be mad when I get to see my father fall in love again? In fact I would be the most contented if I see you being happy with someone after mother"

Gavriel smiled. "Thank you son"

Aedion tilted his head. "I can still feel you discomfort over something Dad. Tell me what it is"

His smile faded. "It's just that-" He paused to run a hand through his hair again.

"Will she accept me? After all I'm a Fae and she's human. What would she think of me when she hears about the horrible things I did for Maeve? And on top of that, there's the age gap"

The corners of his lips twitched down in a frown. He looked so forlorn in that moment, that Aedion's heart ached.

"Dad look, whatever you did then is in the past, no one cares about what happened. You don't beat yourself up for that. What if you're Fae and she's human? It doesn't matter when you're in love"

He held up a hand when Gavriel started to speak.

"I know you haven't even seen her before, but soon enough you'll get to know her Dad. Just look at Aelin and Rowan. They were in a worse place than you, remember? She absolutely detested him and he even hated to be there in her presence, and yet look where they are now. All you need is a little love to make it happen"

Gavriel's eyes softened. "I know"

"She maybe young but you're gonna love her no matter what, and nothing's going to change that. Sure, you're just an ancient Fae but will that stop someone from knowing or loving you? No. Lots of time and space, and I'm pretty sure she'll never say no. No one would Dad"

Gavriel engulfed his son in a tight embrace. "Thank you. I'm the luckiest Fae on earth to have you as my son.

Aedion hugged him back. "And I'm the luckiest to have you as my father"

-time skip-

Gavriel nudged Aedion who stood by his side, watching the forest with him.

"You think she'll come by today?"

He smirked. "Of course Dad. She would probably want to find her lost jewelry, so she'd come to that place again and hoping that she does, you now have a reason to talk to her by returning the bracelet"

Gavriel nodded at him.

After they'd left the place, the previous day, Gavriel had found a bracelet on the forest floor, which now sat comfortably in a box in his pocket. He refrained from touching the box again. A delicate thing that she wore.

Aedion grinned. "Now we wait"

Reader's Pov:

You had covered almost the entire place all morning, but you still couldn't find your bracelet. You were kinda getting desperate. It was the only piece of mom that I have.

Just as you were about to turn back, you heard the crunching of leaves and your body immediately locked up, just like the night before.

For God's sake, it's not even fully morning yet and I'm already going to be breakfast for something!

"Wait!"

You turned around slowly, heart in your mouth. Thankfully it was only a Fae. You relaxed, only to tense up the next second. A Fae? What was he doing in the forest? Was he following me? But you kept those questions to yourself as he approached you.

He was very handsome but the first thing you noticed was the eyes. Eyes like liquid fire. Was he the one who saved you yesterday? Maybe it was all a coincidence or a misfortune, you couldn't tell. But you were gonna find it out.

You stood still while he approached you. "Hello", he said. Suspicious as it was, you didn't answer. "I believe you're searching for-" He reached inside his pocket and took a small step back "-this" He extended his arm.

In his hand was a tiny velvet box, decorated with gold swirls and patterns, too exquisite to be yours. "Nope, not mine", you replied and started backing away.

He opened the box. "Actually it's in here" You glanced at the contents and almost squealed. It was your mother's bracelet, arranged neatly on a tiny gold cushion, making it look even more sparkling.

You retracted you steps and he placed the box right in your hand. You sighed with relief. "Thank you" "You're welcome", he answered. You looked squarely at him

"Who are you?"

"I'm Gavriel" He tilted his head ever so slightly.

"Were you here last night, by any chance?" He looked vaguely surprised. "Yes" "And I suppose you didn't see any mad lions or panthers around here?"

The corner of his lips twitched up. "Unfortunately I think I might belong to the former group you mentioned"

You smiled triumphantly. "So it was you! You saved me last night"

He nodded beaming. And damn was that a sight to see. And those muscles that look like chiseled marble under the thin fabric of his, your mind added.

You cleared your throat. "Where are my manners? I'm Y/n" You extended your free hand for a handshake. "And really, thank you for saving me" Instead of shaking it, he gently grasped your hand and brushed a soft kiss on top of it. "My pleasure"

You almost sighed. It was like pure fireworks through your body when his lips touched your skin. He let go and your hand immediately felt cold. Ignoring it, you do a little curtsy, grinning. "And hello to the Great Lion of Doranelle"

He laughed softly. "Well, hello to the Great Y/n of Orynth too" You snickered. "Oh no, I'm not from here" He looked at you perplexed. "I'm from Allsorook originally, I'm visiting my aunt"

You slapped a palm to your forehead. "Gods, that reminds me, I'm late" You turn around to go and glanced back at him. "Do you wanna come? I'd like to introduce you to my Aunt, who I'm sure is gonna be absolutely yeeted out of her mind"

He looked greatly amused. "Sure but only if you teach me those fancy words of yours"

You burst out laughing.

Narration:

So that's the story of how you met your mate. Soon after, you both became good friends and started spending a lot of time together. He later revealed the mating bond to you and though you were upset with him for hiding it from you, you didn't deny the bond. You never could, for you had started to love him more than anything in the world. Your ages didn't matter to you when it all came down to between both of you. Gavriel was an important part of your life and you were never going to give him up, just because he was Fae and you were human. Your bond went deeper than the mere difference in your bodies.

Finally the Lion had found his Lioness.

You write fenrys so well 🥺🥺🥺

Do you write for Gavriel?

Of course! Here's my masterlist for reference. And thank you so much❣️If you could let me know what kind of imagine you'd like, I'm sure I can whip up something for our very own Lion😉

[readerxlovestay]

i loved your writing, is it ok to request fenrys x reader where they're newly mated and fenrys has a nightmare while he's with her for the first time? and she holds him all night and comforts him

🖤Fenrys × Reader🖤

Summary: You and Fenrys are supposed to deliver a message but a storm halts your journey and makes you stop by an inn, where the mating bond falls in place for you. You then comfort Fenrys who suffers from a nightmare and that leads to spilling the secrets between you two.

Tw: Self doubt

A/n: Of course hun❣️ It's always okay for you to request me anything off of my masterlist and a big thank you for this ask, cause this is my favourite trope ever!! I also threw in a one bed trope since it seemed like a lot of fun in this situation. Lots of fluff and angst involved. I tried my best here. Hope you love it! Take care🌹

You pick at your nails feeling anxious at the moment. You were supposed to feel happy. Ecstatic even. After all, you have found out about your mating bond just a few minutes ago. But all you had been thinking about since then was, how to break it to Fenrys.

You didn't know whether the mating bond had shown itself to him or not. If it had, he showed no signs of acknowledging it. Or even you, for that matter.

He had been ignoring you for some time now.

You look towards at him who was talking to the innkeeper quietly. You had only seen him in passing and had never really met him. But when you first did, you both fit quite well with each other. He was really funny and charming during the journey and you countered with him with your own sense of humor and sarcasm. However, he had went silent once you'd arrived here.

Is he unhappy about the mating bond? You had no idea. You had been assigned by Queen Aelin to go with Fenrys, to deliver a message to Ravi and Sol in Suria. But a storm had halted your journey, forcing both of you to take shelter in a crowded roadside inn.

And that's when the mating bond had fell in place for you. You had been so shook to the bone, that you forgot to breath for a good few seconds. He had asked you whether you were alright, and you'd just nodded yes. And that was that.

As for now, he'd left you to go ask if they had any more rooms left to stay for the night.

You look towards the window where the rain was pouring, lightening illuminating the whole place before sinking it in darkness again. The whole thing felt surreal. How did I even end up here? And mated at that?

You were hyper aware of your mate's presence and could sense when he was nearby. And you were also painfully aware of how attractive he looked with damp hair, and that see through shirt at which the women in the inn were giving THE look. The mating bond tugged.

You weren't really lacking when it came to the looks part, but you couldn't help but compare yourself to other women sometimes, just to see if you were as pretty as them. Sometimes, at your lowest, you felt not up to par but mostly you felt decent. Right now, you felt like you could punch one of them in their pretty faces.

When you saw him approach, you straighten, though you keep your hood up.

"There's only one room left"

You keep your face expressionless but your lips twitch in a frown.

"We'll make do"

He nodded once and that was settled. You made sure you had your things before following him to the room. You didn't fail to notice the envious looks you got from the ladies and hid your smirk. It was going to be one long night.

You stare in shock at the single bed stacked in a corner of the room that you were staying. How the hell are we supposed to sleep in here? Fenrys on the other hand, didn't seem so surprised. You look at him.

"Uh where is the other bed?"

He tilted his head, a hint of smile returning to his lips. "I told you. One last room that they had, with just one bed"

You raise your eyebrows. "Oh really? I assumed they had given us TWO beds since there are two fae"

He enters the room and stashes his stuff in a small shelf.

"I thought it was implied", he says unpacking his bag, mischief audible in his voice "Nevertheless, people have been seeking shelter in this storm so everything else is occupied"

"Right" You step over the threshold, closing the door behind. "Someone should sleep on the floor I guess"

He turns towards you, smirking. "But who is it gonna be?"

You put your hands on you hips, trying not to look at his very distracting shirt. "I don't know. Wanna find out?"

He tilts his head to the side mockingly. "And how do you plan on that?"

You step up to him. "A lot of things actually" You slowly move towards the bed. "Like, who gets the bed first"

Realizing your intentions, Fenrys sweeps a hand towards you and catches you sideways by the waist as you try to run towards the bed. You shriek. "Let go!". He leans in with a wicked smile. "You were saying?"

You groan. "Fine, you take the bed!"

His smile gets wider. "No need to be so generous darling, I'm willing to share, IF you can keep your hands to yourself till morning"

You smirk back at him. "Says the one who's holding me right now"

His eyes twinkle. "I don't see you complaining about it"

You disentangle from the warmth of his arms and try not to think of the loss of his touch. "We're both tired Fen, and we both need a good night's sleep. We don't have time for this"

His expression shutters but it was gone in an instant. "Alright"

You brush past him to leave your things on the other side of the small room and try not to think of his disappointed face when you refused to play with him. Sleep was going to be a long way coming.

"Fenrys! For god's sake could you please move?! I'm being crushed to death here!", You pull up the blankets up to your chin and try to scoot over.

"Still thinking about sleeping on the floor?"

"Hell no. Why, I might even push you off the bed so beware", you glare at him. You both were back to your bickering, as both of you tried to find comfortable positions to sleep in.

He shifts closer, his blond hair tickling your face.

"Try me", He whispers with a smirk.

You close your eyes as his warm breath fans over your face, and blows away a lock of hair.

You feel his hands pressing down onto the bed for whatever reason.

Opening the eyes, you turn towards him and his very naked upper body. He looked like a god, lying there, with those beautiful ebony eyes staring into yours, a straight nose, a full mouth that was sculpted for kissing, and champagne hair spilling over his muscled shoulders.

"I'm good"

He grins. "That's all you got?" You fold your hands in that limited space. "C'mon, Y/n turns down an invitation? How unlikely"

Your mouth pops open in shock as he begins to laugh. "I have my ethics and I'm not going to fight an unruly Fae on my bed" You punctuate the last word. "There are also other things to do, while we're struggling for more space"

He raises his eyebrows. "And that is?" You poke at his chest. "Sleep, Fen" He catches your hand in his warm ones, trapping it there, eyes burning into yours.

Your eyes don't shift, transfixed by his heated gaze.

Do you know I am your mate? Will you accept me? What if you don't? A hundred questions cloud your mind in an instant, but you keep silent. This wasn't the time or place. You try to keep your eyes locked with Fenrys', as he peers deep into your E/c eyes.

Maybe I'll never be good enough for him. Maybe he doesn't want me as his mate. Maybe he didn't even know about the bond. Maybe- Maybe- Maybe-

You pull away, immediately regretting it when his face falls which was gone after a split second. "Goodnight then Y/n"

"Good night Fenrys", you turn towards the wall, his warmth lingering behind you like a phantom touch. You should've probably told him the truth but of course. Too late to turn back now.

The damned storm didn't let out for the length of the entire night. Rain poured outside while Fenrys twitched and turned occasionally. You didn't sleep well either, the sound of thunder a constant rumble in the distance. Lightening struck at times, lighting up the room and dimming it again.

You finally slept when Fenrys' breathing levelled and he went to sleep. Even then, the storm continued.

"Grrr"

You wake up to the sound of low growling. You immediately reach for your knife in the darkness. Grasping it with one hand, you squint as your eyes struggle to adjust in the darkness. Lightening strikes and the whole room fills with light.

A huge white wolf, bigger than you, stares right at you from across the floor. It growls again. You clutch your knife tighter and don't move a muscle until the room sinks in darkness again. Fenrys?

Indeed it was him.

He was twitching and clawing at himself. You carefully approach him. He was seeing and not seeing you at the same time.

"Fenrys?" A long whine. His claws scratch the floorboards and retract, and he was visibly shaking. Was he having a nightmare?

Immediately dropping to your knees, you try to engulf his large head in your arms. "Shhh....its okay. I'm here" He whines again, claws dragging down the wooden floor. "Its alright, you're dreaming. It isn't real" You stroke his soft head as he huffs and growls. "Shh...I'm here, you aren't alone" You try to give him as much comfort as possible, so you let him straddle you, head on your chest. You mating bond tugged, letting you know that he was under a lot of pain. "Fenrys, it's not real, you're okay"

And for the next hour, you spend the time stroking his head and body, murmuring words of comfort until he calms down completely, before shifting back to his Fae form.

He clutches you as if his life depends on it, hiding his face in your shoulder, still shaking a little. Your heart breaks at his agony. My beautiful mate. Why does he have to go through these things? You gently rake your hand down his damp hair, parting the tangles, while stroking his sweat soaked back.

"I'm here for you", you whisper.

His hands tighten around your waist as he lifts his head from your shoulder to look at you with his tortured eyes and tear stained cheeks. You wipe his silent tears with your fingers. He trembles once, and goes back to rest his head on the crook of your neck.

You continue stroking his hair and down his back. He never moves, breathing still uneven and jagged. Eventually, the rain slows down before stopping completely. Only after the first rays of the sun reaches the room and you hear the chatter of birds outside your window, do you move, stirring your mate.

"Fenrys", you murmur. He squeezes you tight against him before pulling back. Onyx eyes stare you down.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He shakes his head.

"No", he replies with his deep voice. "I-" You look at him anxiously. He seemed to give in to some internal argument, and began to speak. "I was trapped in my animal form, watching Queen Aelin be tortured again and again. I watched my brother in bed with Maeve and then be tortured and killed, while I stood and watched. Over and over"

"Oh Fenrys" Your heart breaks into a thousand pieces at his pain. You brush back his hair from his face. "I'm so sorry" He closes his eyes for a brief second. "Don't be"

You try to smile but it comes out as a sad frown. "Are you alright?" Your mate exhales slowly. "Yes"

Yet you sit with him like that, until you were sure he was truly okay.

Soon both of you rise from the floor, still holding on, neither willing to let go first. You find yourself lost in his gaze just as he looks lost in yours. Before you could do anything, he leans down to softly kiss your lips. You make no move to stop him.

"Thank you"

You chuckle dryly. "This is the least I could do if I'm going to be your mate"

Right after, you say those words, a thousand emotions play through his face. "So you knew about it?", He asks. "I did and I've been contemplating all night whether to tell you or not", you answer, placing your hands on his chest.

"What made you change your mind?", He questions. You shrug. "I felt like that was what you deserved. To know that there is someone for you to share these burdens with"

He looks at you like he had found the greatest treasure and pulls you in for another kiss and this time, you kiss him back.

"I've known about the bond all this time too but I couldn't tell you", he exclaims. "In fear of being rejected"

You smile. "I would never reject you"

He leans down his forehead on yours. "And I you"

You sigh softly. "That's exactly the reason why I didn't tell you either"

He sweetly kisses your forehead. "Well now you know the answer to that. If I were to not accept someone like you, I'd be the greatest fool in the world" You snicker lightly and go in for an embrace.

"Don't flatter me", you say into his warm chest. He smirks. "It's true"

You pull away laughing. "Okay, okay. Remember, we still have that message to deliver" He purses his lips. "Right" "By the way, you also need some pants" He immediately dives to the nearby shelf to get his clothes while you laugh and turn away as he gets dressed.

His clothes had ripped during his shifting but you hadn't noticed it really all this time...until a certain part of his body seemed really excited to do what newly mated people do. You grin.

"Stop laughing at me", Fenrys commands from behind you. You chuckle and turn back towards him. He had his pants on thankfully or else you wouldn't have been able to control yourself.

"Let's get the job done first and then we can look more into it", you say packing up your things. "More into what?" You elbow him. "Our mating bond, the relationship, the whole thing"

"Of course", he says pulling you towards him. "The whole thing"

Forever, you realize, as he kisses you again. You had found your forever with Fenrys.

Forever with You - 2

Fenrys Pov:

He was still reeling from the mating bond. To make things worse, people were starting to stare and whisper but he couldn't stop himself from looking into his mate's pretty face.

Framing her stunning face was messy H/c hair thrown carelessly over one shoulder that revealed pointed ears just like his. Below gracefully arched eyebrows were her beautiful E/c eyes that peered at him through dark lashes. A cute nose and those very kissable lips that were still parted slightly in shock. Her cheeks had a light dusting of tint.

She wasn't all that perfect but she was his mate and that was more than anything he could ask for.

"Um if you don't mind, can we go?", her friend spoke up. "People are starting to look at us weird"

Y/n was the first to break eye contact. She looked like she was about to protest but thought better of it. He didn't get glance back from her as she brushed past, friend in tow and he let her go, only moving after he was sure he was in control of himself.

Considering how he wanted to take her away right then and there, he'd say he did okay.

He turned around, looking at the door from which she left, hands in his pockets. How was he going to approach her now? Maybe find her and ask her out nicely? Or was that too creepy? He honestly had no idea.

Fenrys have never hated Maeve more than he did that moment. His blood oath with her had slimmed, if not diminished any chances he had with the other Fae. So he didn't really know how he was supposed to get to know a female romantically or anything like that. But he wanted to try. Try to get to know his mate like what foods she loved, which line from a book made her smile, what scent reminded her of home, who made her laugh and everything else about her.

He left the shop in search of her. He had already scented her a while ago so he could pick out her individual delicate yet intoxicating fragrance. He started towards its direction.

Y/n's Pov:

Her traitorous heart instantly felt dull and missing when she exited the shop in a hurry. Even the voice was silent for once. She was his 'mate' apparently. Her heart argued otherwise, but still she hesitated.

She never thought she could have a mate. How could she? It made sense because how could anyone love someone like her? With the secrets and scars she carried.

"What was that?! Why was he calling you his mate?" Her friend interrupted her thoughts.

"I don't know. Maybe he mistook me for someone else"

The girl shrugged. "I wouldn't be so sure Y/n, 'cause he looked like he knew who he was approaching"

She frowned, because he did look like he knew where he was going. And yet he came to her. Who was that though?

"Have we seen him around by any chance?" Her friend questioned. Even Y/n was not sure. "I don't think so. Plus the male's clothes looked like he was royalty. We should be more careful around him"

Her friend pursed her lips looking behind her.

"Uhh...speaking of being careful, I think we are exactly not that"

"What?"

"The Fae's following us"

She whirled around and sure enough he was walking right behind them.

She felt like her body instantly wanted to throw itself in his arms. What the hell? What was going on with her? She strangely felt very responsive towards him. Maybe that was the mating bond? She didn't let herself dwell on it as she crossed her arms and waited till he came up to them.

He smiled which really softened his features and made him more alluring.

However, she stood still, watching him flinch under her gaze.

"Hey"

The male seemed very nervous though he looked all sassy and confident.

"So um..." She decided to spare him his suffering this time.

"Hello", she replied.

He kind of relaxed and continued speaking. "I think we have to talk about what happened at the store."

"What is there to talk about?"

He looked taken aback.

"So you didn't feel it?"

She considered refusing it. But then again, it would be like refusing her own feelings. What she had felt in that store was real, that much she was sure of. She glanced at him.

He was still a stranger after all, but he looked so hopeful at that moment that she would forever hate herself if she denied him. She nodded.

"I... I felt something, but I doubt its anything to be spoken about" Y/n looked pointedly at him. "Especially with someone I'm not familiar with"

"Oh" The male realized it and held out his hand. "Fenrys Moonbeam"

Immediately the gears turned in her head. Fenrys Moonbeam. She has heard this name a countless of times before, so he must be-

"You're The White Wolf of Doranelle?!" Her friend blurted out who had been silent all this while. "At your service"

He smirked and retrieved his unshaken hand from the air, clearly getting more comfortable. She narrowed her eyes, unimpressed.

"And why were you following us?"

"Well as I said before, I think we may be mates so how about someplace quiet to talk in private?" He gestured at all the people that they had been ignoring until now. "Just us"

She was reluctant. "My friend comes with me" But her friend backed away. "Nope. I'm not gonna be the third wheel here. You two can take all the time you want to talk about it. Explain more when you get back, I'll be at the house"

"But-"

"No buts. This is The White Wolf of Doranelle Y/n! Queen Aelin's close friend too". Her friend pulled Y/n close and whispered. "And I also trust you to land a blow if necessary" Y/n smiled a little at that. She winked before waving goodbye and walking off into the crowd.

She sighed and turned towards him.

Fenrys Pov:

"What was that?"

He could see that Y/n was hiding a smile. She shook her head slightly.

"Nothing"

He raised his eyebrows, smiling to himself.

"That's settled then. I know a good place but it'll take us some time to get there so I suggest we use magic"

She looked confused. "I don't have that kind of-"

"I meant mine. Now, if you would hold on tight"

Y/n widened her eyes as he placed a hand on the small of her back and whisked her away.

No one in the increasing crowd of people noticed two Fae disappear into thin air.

When they reappeared, his mate's side was flush against him. She was clutching his shirt in a death vise and had her eyes squeezed shut. He chuckled when she opened them.

"We're here"

She withdrew right away looking flustered.

"Yeah...okay let's go"

He led her inside the spacious inn. He could see her observing and taking mental notes of everything silently.

"How did you do that?" She asked.

He shrugged. "I've always been able to travel like that. Even my-" He immediately caught himself. Even my brother could do that, was what he wanted to say but he wasn't ready for that conversation just yet. She just looked at him curiously. He dusted an invisible fleck of dust on his shirt.

"Let's get a table"

After they were seated comfortably, a barmaid came up. "What would you like to have?"

"The usual", he replied eyes on his mate.

She looked at Y/n with pure envy.

"And you?" Even her words had a bite to it.

"Watch it", he drawled.

No one talked to his mate like that, even she hasn't accepted it yet.

The barmaid had tried countless of time to woo him and he had rejected her advances from time to time. Still she never took a hint.

"Just water please", Y/n said, looking surprised at his comment.

The barmaid turned away with a swish of her hips. He wanted to roll his eyes but his mate was all business.

"So you said we were mates, how do I know it's true?"

His eyes crinkled in amusement.

"And here I thought you'd be happy to have me as your mate"

She raised an eyebrow. He tilted his head. They both stared down at each other like cats ready to pounce. His lips twitched.

This game, where she matched his energy and stood up to him while he tested her waters, was honestly turning him on. Her gaze was level, never distracted or distant, and he held it, a challenge in his eyes. She seemed to acknowledge his attention to her, and there was a twinkle in hers.

Fenrys felt like dreaming. He was actually being with her, his mate and he was living every single second of it.

"I asked you a question", she exclaimed without breaking eye contact.

"And I will answer it", he replied doing the same. "Give me your hand"

"What for?"

"So I can show you the actual bond"

"Is hand holding really necessary?", She asked, extending her arm across the table. He smirked.

"It's not, but looks very romantic doesn't it? She tried to scowl but he could see that she was fighting a smile and he almost went in for those lips.

She was just so beautiful. He took her hand in his and watched goosebumps rise up on her arm.

She left a silent gasp. He was instantly concerned.

"Did I hurt you?"

"No... It's actually..." She shook her head to herself. "It's nothing... I think I felt something"

Her hand tightened in his.

"What next?"

He straightened.

"Now close your eyes"

Y/n's Pov:

It was like a fireworks happening in her mind when she touched him. The dark emptiness that always seemed to loom around in her mind was dulled. Muted. She could actually feel herself alone after a long, long time. And she revelled in it. The constant drab of the voice was nowhere to be seen. She sighed through her nose. This was nice.

"Once you proceed through your memories, you'll find a wall", Fenrys' voice guided her.

Y/n concentrated on herself and floated past her memories.

Her dad kissing her bruised knee, her mother swinging her around and many more like that. She schooled her expression under control when the bad ones came up. She skipped through all of them, and finally found the back of her mind, where she could feel her mental wall. It felt familiar, like it was always there and she had forgotten about it.

"Found it", she said out loud, keeping her eyes closed.

"Now look for a tether. Its not physical but it's a part of you", he said clasping her hand gently. "Like a bridge or a rope"

She moved along the wall, feeling its surface. It was made of a mixture of her forgotten dreams and thoughts. And there was the tether, somehow connected to it. She couldn't really see it but she felt its comforting presence.

Without her mate telling her what to do, she followed its path, not caring where it led to, and stopped right before another wall.

A crack opened up, as if just for her, and she slipped past.

She was welcomed by memories and wishes, dreams and nightmares alike.

"This is me. This is my mind that you're in right now, and it will always be open for you", Fenrys' solemn voice distracted her. "Now that you're in there, I wanna show you something funny"

Before she could do move, her mind was tossed into another place, another time.

Y/n looked at herself. She was there as a faint form, only that she was in Fenrys' mind.

Was that Queen Aelin? Why was she running after Lady Lysandra?

"I didn't steal your chocolates! I swear to god!"

So it was one of his memories.

"Then who was it?!", Aelin shrieked, making Y/n laugh. "I dont know! Ask Fenrys!". Uh oh.

"Fen I'm going to kill you!"

From his eyes, she could see Queen Aelin head straight to his hiding place, looking like she might actually kill him. He bolted out of reach.

"They were tasty, can you blame me?"

And Aelin's expression got murderous.

"Exactly the reason why it was labelled 'Positively do not touch'. Those were meant for me"

Fenrys shrugged innocently. "Oops, guess I didn't notice"

Y/n watched as Queen Aelin made a run for it and yell in annoyance as Fen vanished.

"I'll make up for it, I promise!", Fenrys' voice could be heard from nearby. "Don"t kill me just yet!"

Y/n opened her eyes, smiling softly, as he gently tugged her hand.

"And that's why I get Aelin, her monthly stash of chocolates without fail" He smiled back at her. "I'll show you a bit more"

-time skip-

So for the next few minutes, Fenrys' showed her bits and pieces of his life and it didn't take much for her to understand him. She could feel his pain and agony over his brother, among other things.

My mate.

The scene changed to when he first saw her amidst the crowd. It felt like finding answer to the one question that he had been searching for all his life, similar to the unacknowledged feeling she felt, when she first saw him.

It slowly faded out and she opened her eyes to Fenrys' sad smile.

It was like seeing him in a whole new light. She understood that this was his way of telling her that he was vulnerable to her. That this mentally bruised and shut down male was hers. And it was completely up to her if she accepted him or not.

She knew he wouldn't pursue her anymore if she ends up not choosing him, but she simply didn't want to. She had started warming up to the idea of him and besides, she knew that the mating bond didn't happen to anybody and it was irreplaceable.

She smiled at him.

"I really appreciate this, thank you"

"You don't have to thank me" His eyes twinkled. "I simply did what any mate would do"

She nodded at him.

"So is that a yes?"

Y/n grinned slowly. "Maybe"

"What? After everything I showed you, all I get is a maybe?!"

She laughed and he smirked. "Honestly I wouldn't mind a maybe, if I get to see you laugh like that"

Her expression turned serious. "However, I would like to take this slow" She glanced at her hand covered by his. "One step at a time"

He gave her a grin that melted her insides.

"I can live with that." He lifted her hand to brush a kiss over her knuckles that made her toes curl, and placed it back. "when I have forever to get to know you"
