KAYA'S POV
I gasped out suddenly realizing I had barely been breathing through that whole ordeal, "w-what was that, Azian?" I asked slowly, my heart beating soundly.
"It's our bond" he began softly, "or do you mean that it's a dragon?" He asked again a little confused obviously.
I turned to him sharply, overwhelmed "what do you mean bond?!" I asked my voice rising by the minute.
He raised an eyebrow as if accepting some sort of challenge, a slight smirk on the corner of his lips "Bond Kaya, You like me don't you?" He asked.
I huffed out at the sudden question, before shaking my head, "Azian I don't understand any of this! None of it is making sense to me? Why did you bite me?"
He rubbed my shoulder, leaning forward, his lips skimming my neck causing my heartbeat to rise, his hands caging me on either side by the sink, "I claimed you, Kaya, you're mine and I had to make sure you weren't...mistaken, for anybody else’s" he replied softly, eyes hinting a deep gold as he met my gaze in the mirror, kissing the side of my head.
"Yours?" I echoed, my voice hitched as I remembered, my eyes holding his, before turning to face him, "B-but isn't Khloe yours?" I asked my eyes falling to the floor, a pang in my heart refusing to reach his again. I didn't want to hear it at all.
He gently pulled my chin up, starting deep within me, "No she isn't" he replied with honest eyes causing my heart to thump louder, my eyes meeting his, hope filling each inch of me, "it's a long story, but I was tricked, it was never her, " he brushed a strand of my hair away, "it was you, Kaya, it always had been" he moved closer leaving a trail of kisses up my skin breathing harshly against it and I couldn’t help the low harsh breaths I was releasing as he did.
My heart skipped a beat at his words, a bashful smile appearing, a feeling inside me flooding up, making me feel gleeful, butterflies turning in my stomach.
Suddenly I felt something drop within me, completely wiping the smile off my face as I shot up to look at Azian, “But Legions my mate,”
The words barely left me when his eyes hardened to gold, "You do not belong to him,” He snarled dangerous low, "Kaya you're mine and I'm not letting you near him" he said growled lowly.
"Dragons don't share," I whispered back remembering, searching his eyes, As soon as I said it his eyes softened to a blue as if those words had calmed him.
“WE don’t,” he replied softly, his eyes all shades of green, blue, and gold.
"Is that what you are? A Dragon?" I asked staring up into his galaxy eyes, his arms around me stiffened, "yes," he replied his eyes skimming my face as if gauging my reaction.
I shook my head wondering what I had gotten myself into, I thought Lycans were a mess, but Dragons!
"I didn't know that Dragons were-"
"Handsome?" He asked grinning, his white teeth which were definitely not as sharp as I thought they would be appearing.
I smacked his shoulder with a chuckle, "human,” I replied, "I always thought dragons were just.. well...”
"Big beasts that breathe fire?" He asked cocking an eyebrow.
"Well yes,” I replied nervously.
He chuckled, "you would be right, we are that. However, like werewolves and Lycans we can also shift to a human form," he replied.
His eyes fell downcast, "yes, at least I think so" he replied gruffly.
His answer seemed off but I was so confused, "Dragons? So they aren't extinct or something? Wow,  how many dragons exist, and are you guys all just stuck in your body human type form, and is that why we think you're extinct, and here was I thinking you were some sort of Angel or a winged person of some sort, but a Dragon?! Man, I guess the large-scaled wings could have been a huge giveaway but I would have never guessed not in a million years, I-I don't think Ally would have either, oh my, A Dragon, that's just-" I babbled on before Azians laughs brought me back.
My cheeks heated up pulling away from him, just as far as he would let me, "what? How did you expect me to react? I never thought in my eighteen years of life that I would meet a Dragon," I grinned.
Azian just laughed a little more, stopping when he saw my embarrassment, "I'm sorry, I just never expected that,” he replied, eyes shining.
"Questions? You should have expected I would have some questions dropping something like that on me!" I huffed with a slight scoff.
He grinned, "That I did expect, but not so much excitement…" he replied slowly caging me between the sink and him, "to answer your questions, Dragons were thought to be extinct for some time, but we aren't anymore,” he saw my expression and chuckled, "it's a long story, believe me,”
I did believe him, but my thoughts wandered to something else, "So Dragons have mates too?" I asked
His smile dissolved as he looked at me, “some, not all of them,” he whispered back.
"So if I'm not Le-.." I clearer my throat, "His mate, what makes you think I'm yours?" I asked glancing at the floor, before quickly looking up, "that's if I am, that is" I added quickly, my heart beating like a riot against my chest.
He leaned in, his face rubbing against my hair, "I don't want to lie to You Kaya, " he began, my eyes finding him, "there's a chance you might not be."
My heart fell at his words, my forehead leaning against his as I tried to not let it affect me as much as it did, "that's what they told me," he continued my eyes shooting up to his, his hand trailing along my jaw, "and if you ask them, they would tell you the same"
He lifted my chin so he could stare into my soul.
"But I don't believe them, I feel you belong to me and are above everything else because, in the end, you’re the last person I think about every day, you're the one person that calms us, you're the one I need. I can't bear to do without. You. The girl that brings out the beast in me" he kissed my lips, then my jaw, causing my little dragon friend to momentarily shiver to appear in a second, then my forehead, before pressing his against mine again, "and you Kaya? Do you believe them?" He asked closing his eyes, his forehead resting on mine, my hands pressed against his chest.
I didn't have to think at all when I answered, "No, I don't believe them" I replied feeling his heartbeat quicken underneath my hand. He opened his eyes staring back into my soul before kissing me, slow and agonizing, his teeth grazing against my lips, devouring me whole and at that moment I couldn’t imagine kissing anyone else.
Slowly pulling away from me, I managed to take in a quick breath something crossed my mind, "am I going to turn into a dragon now that you bit me!" I asked alarmed.
How would I explain that to Aunt Lily? Or worse Mom and Dad. I couldn't keep that from them!
I was taken out of my thought when Azian laughed, his eyes shining with humor causing me to smack him away.
This was serious! Turning into a beast! And Aunt Lily just hated them thanks to Legion, I would be sleeping outside! Scratch that! Where would I keep my Dragon self? Our backyard was too small! And eating? Meat?! Where will I find raw meat?!
"I can't be a dragon!" I huffed, eyes wide.
His grin widened amusement dancing in his eyes, "Relax Kaya, you won't turn into a dragon" Azian replied in between chuckles, this caused me to turn back to his laughing self.
"Really?"
"That only happens with Vampires and even their mates aren’t completely like them," he replied rubbing my arm soothingly,
"You're not lying are you?" I asked trying to be sure I wouldn't start growing scales in the middle of the night.
He shook his head brushing my hair to the side, with a deep chuckle as he kissed my shoulder unexpectedly, our eyes meeting, "this is the closest you'll get from becoming one" he replied as my Dragon appeared again, still in his sleepy mood on my shoulder, only turning his head to the side, his tail shifting to the left.
"He is cute,” I murmured as he disappeared again, suddenly wishing that maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have a dragon.
Azian nodded, "he is the symbol of our bond, your Dragon, Kaya,”
I hummed glancing at my bare shoulder, "what does he do?"
Azian Chuckled, “You’ll see, He will protect you to some extent, though he isn't as good as the real thing," he replied his eyes shimmering a deep gold
I nodded holding his gaze. One thing was bugging my mind at the back of my head, but I didn't want to ask it, afraid it would ruin the moment. But it ate me up so much I ended up blurting it out, "and Legion? What will happen to him? I mean he thinks that I'm his m-"
"IF he is alive, he'll try to take you from me, but I won't allow it,” Azian growled, his jaw ticking.
"What do you mean, if?" I asked my heart racing, I suddenly began to feel hot, really hot
‘I don't want to scare you Kaya, But Legion might be dead.’ He had said.
I started hyperventilating, "Wait- w-what did you do? W-what did you do to him?" I asked with wide eyes.
"Have read the stories of Dragons?" Azian began calmly, he didn’t seem to be too bothered, his fingers casually running through my hair, “tales of Big fire breathing leviathans that destroy towns and leave nothing. Mad dragons, those some even called Wicked, Greedy… "he finished slowly.
My eyebrows furrowed, what had this got to do with Legion? What had happened to him?
Azian hummed lowly, eyes staring in mine, "What if I told you there's another story they don't tell you, the cause of their rage?” he asked hypnotizing me with his eyes, “There is always something you never take from a dragon." He looked down at me, “Legion tried to take you. So I put him down-" he finished his eyes a golden flame.
My breath hitched and suddenly a fire, started burning deep within me, the pain equaled the same I felt when Azian bit me, I gasped out in Pain as Azian’s eyebrows arched “Kaya?” he huffed sudden concern in his tone.
I couldn’t breathe well and his face was getting blurry. I heard him calling my name, but the last thing I saw was my reflection in the mirror, a bright Golden Dragon glowing Red from my shoulder. There was only one thought going through my mind before I passed out.
Why was our bond burning?
