I shake my head in amusement at my thoughts, the others would make fun of me if they knew what I was thinking. My brothers have kept me sane; they have been by my side through good and bad, there is a deep routed trust among all of us that will never be broken. We all have our demons to fight, demons that sometimes have us losing sight of our path. Now that I have Druza my path is etched deep within my DNA, there will be no deviation, my woman is my future.
I know that initially life at the club might be hard for Druza as she isn’t used to our way of life, but like all the other mates that have bonded with other Elementals, they adapt, we adapt. I will do everything in my power to make the transition easier for her, to ease the pain of being away from her family.
The thought of her family has me frowning, I know that she is worried about the confrontation that she witnessed between us. I don’t want to make this more difficult than it has to be, I want her to have a relationship with her family even though she’s with me. Initially they might not accept our relationship, but with time they will come around.
Eirik and Garth will update Tor on what he needs to know, but as soon as I’m out of this room I will have to explain everything to the others so that they know what we could be expecting. Druza moves under my hand, her face turns, and she rubs her cheek on my chest. The movement has me in an instant pinnacle of lust, the touch of her cheek more erotic than anything I have ever felt. Her soft murmur of pleasure shoots through my body like a bolt of lightning.
I am still bemused at how sudden the impact of our bonding has entwined through my every cell, her presence is like a lifeline that I didn’t know I was missing. Some will fight their whole existence for a glimpse of this intense impact of feelings that overwhelm our being and make us alive for the very first time in our existence.
I close my eyes enjoying the peace that surrounds me, when building the clubhouse Tor made sure to soundproof every room so that we are assured of our privacy. Even like that we are still able to hear certain sounds when close enough, but the main hum from the bar area and the rest of the club are drowned out. Being Elemental affords us with keen hearing, something that we learn from a young age to control, hearing that helps us when in battle or out in the world.
We are also faster and stronger than humans, something that we have to constantly hide. Druza’s immune system will strengthen now that she has mated, she will acquire the same longevity that all Elementals have, but she will still be fragile as she won’t have the strength or speed that we have. I will need to be patient with her, need to remember that she will struggle to adapt and will feel lost among all these changes.
I will ask for the assistance of the other women at the club, they will guide Druza, they will help her integrate into this life that will be so very different from everything she has known before. Taking in a deep breath I smile as her sweet fragrance surrounds us. My woman has a unique scent, it reminds me of the outdoors, of a meadow surrounded by wildflowers. I let her closeness lull me into a light sleep enjoying this first day of our mating.

The feel of a gentle touch on my jaw has me instantly alert, I want to open my eyes and kiss those fingers, want to take her again and again until we both know every inch of each other’s body, but I won’t. I know that she must be tender, taking a man for the first time will leave her sensitive to my touch. “Haldor” she whispers.
“mmm” I murmur keeping my eyes closed.
“I have to…leave” her hesitant words have my eyes snapping open, the peaceful lull that surrounded me vanishing with those words.
“No” I will never let her leave; I will never allow for her to be placed in danger. I can see her troubled gaze, her teeth biting into her bottom lip.
“I thought you said that I wasn’t a prisoner here.” Her words wound me; how can she think that I would hold her here like a prisoner? Pulling my arm from around her I sit up, my body vibrating with frustration.
“Do you feel like I have been treating you like a prisoner?” I demand as I throw my legs over the side of the bed, standing I turn to face her. She is also sitting up, pulling the sheet up over her naked body. Her beautiful hair cascading around her naked shoulders like a blanket. Her gaze trained on my every move.
“No, I did not say that” She snaps shaking her head. “I need you to understand that I have to go back, I have to try and make my father understand.” I want to roar with anger, does she really think that I will simply send her back into the arms of that mob which we left behind.
“I will go and speak to your father; I will make him understand.” She is shaking her head vehemently before I have even finished, inciting my anger even more. Fuck me, she is one stubborn female.
“They will never accept it if you go, don’t you see that they are proud people.” I grunt at her statement; a thought crosses my mind which has the fury rising and my vision sharpening.
“Do you want to go back because of that fucker that you were supposed to have married?” I should have killed the motherfucker when I had him in my sight. I fist my hands wanting to punch something but trying to hold back my rage.
“No, I want to go back to talk to my Papa.” Druza states as she also stands the sheet wrapped around her. I place my fists low on my waist feeling the blood pounding through my body as I think of the anger of the men that faced us at the gipsy camp.
“And what would your father do if you had to go back?” I ask as I walk around the bed to stand before Druza, my hand rising to hold her chin in my hand. “Do you really think that I will ever allow anyone to get close enough to you to hurt you in any way?” she tries to step back which has my other arm snacking out and around her waist to pull her against me.
“They will try to kill you; with me they will only lock me up and knock me around a bit. I will convince Papa to forget about you.” The image of her being slapped or hurt in anyway has me wanting to growl in fury. I understand that she’s worried about me, but I will never let my woman get hurt to save me or anyone else. She is and always will be my priority.
“Nothing will happen to me,” when she starts to shake her head I grunt angrily, “NO! nothing will happen to me!”
“You don’t know that, they don’t fight fair,” She snaps angrily.
“I do know that, because we have confronted opponents that are more dangerous than they can ever be.” Our argument is suddenly interrupted by banging on the door.
“Hey brother,” Colburn calls, “we wouldn’t like to have to build the club walls again.” His muffled words have me grunting in annoyance. I was so distracted by our argument that my energy was spiking which was bending the earth around me. Dropping my arm from where it is around Druza’s waist I step back, turning I make my way to the door. Opening it, I step outside to close it behind me, Colburn is leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his knee bent with his foot on the wall behind him.
When I storm around him towards the bar area he grunts, and I hear him following me. I need to get away and cool down before I blow up, the thought of Druza leaving has me wanting to shout in rage. Stomping through the bar I ignore Garth and Eirik that are sitting at one of the tables and continue until I’m standing outside next to my Harley.
“I don’t know if I should tell you this,” Colburn says, his tone amused. “You don’t have any boots on, and your t-shirt is invisible.” Looking down at my bare feet I growl angrily and then throw my head back as I roar, “Fuckkkk.” Lowering my head, I see Colburn’s amused expression as he looks at me.
“What the fuck are you grinning at?” I snap which has him raising his hands in the air in surrender.
“I thought everyone said that being mated was a dream come true,” Colburn says, “looks more like a nightmare to me.” His statement has me scowling at him, no matter how angry Druza makes me I wouldn’t change being bonded to her for anything in this world.
