  I looked to the pipes in the room and took hold of a bucket, filling it with water from a nearby tap. Having such readily accessible water was fairly new to me, as Frostburn never had such a convenience. My capital had running water in pipes, but it was usually Tessa and a few other slaves that bathed me.

  “Here, bring that tail to me,” I said as I brought the bucket over to her. I saw her tail slowly drift back and forth beside her before it raised itself up to my chest.

  There was a towel next to a nearby bathtub, and I used it with the water to clean Zelenia’s tail. It would be best if she didn’t have any of it dripping blood when we left. The tail had distinct grooves along as its base and tiny protrusions that I had never noticed before. The spear like tip felt almost like metal as I wiped the towel over it.

  “Your tail is quite a force to be reckoned with,” I said as I admired its sheer power. The corpse on the floor had a giant hole through the chest and it seemed to have pierced the guards chain mail with ease.

  Zelenia seemed lost in her own world as she stared at the ground the whole time. I just had to know what was bothering her.

  “When I met you earlier, you were quite the sultry creature that knew what it wanted. Now you appear distant with me,” I said, hoping she would respond.

  She raised her face and looked me in eye. Her purple pupils were breathtaking.

  “No, I just..” Zelenia said as she struggled with what to say. “I was alone, so very alone. The world saw my race as a scourge before and hunted us down till we were few. We had to adapt, we had to feed, it was in our nature.”

  I kept a close grip on Zelenia’s tail as she spoke and used more water to get it cleaned up. I nodded for her to continue.

  “When I awoke and forced into bondage, I wanted to rage against all who had forsaken me,” Zelenia said. “I tried as hard as I could to free myself, but the magic was too great, even for me. After what felt like an eternity, a voice called to me, promising it would be my friend and free me if it could.”

  Zelenia seemed to have some tears in her eyes that she quickly wiped away. I had stopped wiping her tail to stare at the woman before me.

  “When I saw you, words could not express my joy,” Zelenia said with a sad smile. “I saw I had hurt you after you freed me and decided you would be the perfect candidate to pair with. My nature demanded I kill everyone in that infernal human city, and I did. I searched for you for some time but came up short after. When I met you again, I thought my consort and friend would be at my side, but your coldness felt bitter. It reminded me of the time when I walked Asterlia all those centuries ago, where the only ones I could trust were my children. You see me as the monster I am, even with this form I have taken.”

  Suddenly, it all made sense. All of it. Zelenia was upset because we had established a bond, either of prime or of friendship, and I had treated her like an enemy to be wary of.

  On one hand, there was some doubt in me when it came to Zelenia. A creature of superb intelligence and a dangerous ability to breed an army in weeks. How could someone not be wary when they came across such a being?

  I wiped those doubts out of my mind in moments as I looked into Zelenia’s eyes. She meant no harm to me, she never did. My mind swirled as I thought about how I could approach this delicately, which was not my strong suit at all. I would bet that the rest of my people would rather kill some humans and loot their belongings than this.

  “I’ve been a fool,” I said as I gently placed Zelenia’s tail down to the ground, where it retreated behind her. “I called you my friend, but I haven’t been fair to you. Years of raiding and killing had made me wary of others. It’s a miracle I got along with Lunara and Eliandra so well when I made them my own.”

  Zelenia turned away and headed back to the bedroom.

  “Do not worry, I should be used to it, my consort. Once we destroy this crystal, I will take Vulenchia and your nation will be free of me, as promised,” Zelenia said, almost as cold to me as I had been to her before.

  This was not what I wanted and I grinder my teeth together as I thought of what I could do to fix this.

  That's when it came to me. What she wanted.

  Zelenia had left me alone in the bathroom with the corpse, where the pods became more and more numerous. A familiar musky smell wafted into my nostrils and I decided it was best I didn’t stay here. I headed to the bedroom to see Zelenia, who stood with her back to me. She was staring at nothing in particular and has her arms crossed. Her tail lightly swished behind her.

  I grabbed her arm and spun her around on the spot. Her mouth opened in surprise as her eyes widened in shock. Before she could say anything, I latched my lips onto her and kissed her with all the passion I could muster. Her lips were warm and soft, and at first, she barely reacted.

  Then I felt her tongue probe its way into my mouth and my own rose to greet it. She felt pure, wild and out of this world.

  It felt right.

  When our lips parted, I swore that her purple eyes glowed an even darker shade of violet. She looked at me the same way Eliandra did when I accepted her the way she was, even with the deformity. Gods, Zelenia was beautiful.

  “I won't let you slip away,” I murmured softly to her as I ran a hand through her red locks.

  “You… don’t think I’m a monster?” Zelenia asked and her mouth quivered, as if dreading the answer.

  “No, I don’t,” I said honestly. “I’ve killed many in the pursuit of aiding my people. Some may call me a hero, but the rest, all the humans will cry that I’m the villain. The world can call you what they like, but I’ve decided that since I called you my friend, I will stick by you, no matter what happens to me. I won’t be cold to you any longer, if you will forgive my foolishness earlier.”

  Zelenia’s eyes brimmed with tears, which rolled down her cheeks. This time she did not wipe them away, and I found my hands doing it for her. My thumb rubbed along her soft cheeks, and my desire for her peaked.

  “I am glad to have you as my consort. I wish to mate with you, if it pleases you,” Zelenia said. I couldn't help but laugh at her bluntness. This was a reminder that she was not human as she appeared, although the tail itself showed me that.

  “Of course, we are bonded after all. I’m not sure what this prime bond is that links us together, but I know that I wish to make sure that you never feel alone again,” I said honestly.

  Zelenia kissed me anew, this time with a deep passion of her own. I ran my hands along her sides and onto her perfect ass before she pulled back and looked over to her left. I checked to see what she was looking at and saw the empty bed in the room. I grinned as I turned back to her.

  “Eager for my seed, are we?” I said with a chuckle. Zelenia eyes turned predatory as she picked me up gently and deposited me onto the bed. Her action was so fast and graceful, I looked up her dumbly in response. I had forgotten that this woman was a creature that had far more strength than she seemed.

  Her power was very attractive to me, even if she was stronger. I could tell just by looking at her that Zelenia wasn’t entirely sure how to proceed. She ran her arms up and down my legs and stared between them, but her eyes were set in confusion.

  “Haven’t you mated before?” I asked curiously, and Zelenia nodded.

  “Well, yes, but I was much more… aggressive in the time of the heavens. My race had to mate with a much more inferior species, hence we got weaker and the heavens grew stronger. The mates did not survive after and I wish for you to live,” Zelenia said with a hint of a blush on her cheeks.

  I should have pressed more on this news about the heavens, but another part of my body demanded I focus on this moment. I moved up to grab Zelenia forward onto my thighs and directed her attention with my belt.

  “Try taking my belt off,” I urged her and watched she fumbled with the buckle. Her long nails seemed to hinder her as she seemed hesitant to use any strength, lest she break the belt entirely.

  As she crouched down, I had a cle
ar view of that deep cleavage of hers and I had to resist the urge to play with her breasts. That would come with patience.

  A snap caught my attention, and I saw that Zelenia had released the buckle. The clips on the belt came off with ease with her deft fingers. I saw a gleam in her eyes as she pulled my bottoms down, which revealed my underclothes. I laughed when I saw her face, as she seemed perplexed with the sight, as if there was another piece to the puzzle of taking off my clothes.

  “Haha, just pull that off too,” I said as I raised my core up to help her. It surprised me I could even do that, as I expected her to weigh a great deal, given her other form. She felt no different to a human, as far as I could tell.

  My cock sprung forth when she pulled my underclothes that hid it. Zelenia looked at it with a hint of wonder, and I found that I honestly enjoyed her reactions. Eliandra was also fairly new to intimacy as far as I knew when I first made love to her, but then again, she knew of what to do because of her tutor. Zelenia must have been completely new to this, and the last time she mated would have been centuries ago.

  “I have an idea,” I declared as I got off my back and grabbed Zelenia by the ass. I pushed the tiniest amount of prime I could into my arms so I could quickly plop her on top of me.

  Zelenia’s eyes went wide at this, and she seemed disappointed with the action. But I had yet to begin.

  “What I’m going to do next is get you into the mood,” I said as she gawked at me. As she was on top of me, her breasts were conveniently right next to my eyes and I tried not to talk to them instead of her face.

  “The mood?” Zelenia asked with confusion, and I grinned.

  Thankfully for me, the gown that Eliandra had picked for her was fairly easy to see where I could remove it. I unzipped the back of her dress and saw her breast bounce free with the action. As soon as they did, my head launched forward and my mouth latched onto a nipple.

  Zelenia moaned as she used a hand to hold the back of my head, gripping my hair tightly. I used my own hand to cup the other breast and tease the nipple there. She hissed in response but I found that she was now slowly directing where she wanted my tongue on her breasts and I chuckled into her nipple.

  Once I determined that I had teased her enough, I showed her how to remove my top and Zelenia took her time to make sure she didn’t tear it off. Once my bare chest exposed itself, she surprised me by giving each of my nipples a lick.

  “Haha, it seems you are in the mood now,” I said but Zelenia didn’t respond as she had me remove the rest of our clothes. We both fumbled on the bed as we helped each other disrobe until we were both naked. With our clothes discarded all around us, Zelenia eyes drifted down to my cock and she pushed me down until my back hit the bed.

  “Your… thing is most impressive, my consort,” Zelenia murmured, almost to herself, and I grinned.

  “Why don’t you put your mouth on it to feel its impressiveness?” I asked huskily.

  Zelenia’s purple eyes gleamed as she spread herself until she was on her knees and her ass up in the air. Her mouth was ever so close to it, and it twitched when I felt Zelenia’s hot breath.

  I feared for a moment that Zelenia had taken a leaf from Tessa’s book and would tease me. Until she gave my cock a long lick from the base to the tip.

  Then did it again, and again.

  “Gods,” I said as the pleasure coursed through me. The licks ceased when Zelenia swallowed my cock whole, and I gripped the sides of the bed as I closed my eyes.

  I tried to keep my voice low as I considered where we were, but my body decided that it did not matter. Zelenia went faster and faster, her eyes glued to my face as far as I could tell. I wasn’t to keep my eyes open for long as it felt too good to be real.

  I groaned as I felt my climax approaching and wanted to tell Zelenia to stop, to get to the next part. I felt her hand squeeze my balls, and that did too much for me. I shuddered as I released into her mouth and saw that she didn’t let a single drop spill.

  “Gods,” I said again, as I rested my head back to stare at the ceiling.

  Zelenia swallowed loudly and grinned as if she had won something. She opened her mouth and stuck out her tongue as if to prove she had ate up all my seed up.

  “Hmm, our bond has grown exponentially,” Zelenia said as she stared at my cock.

  I did not understand what that meant, but I was in no position to say anything. I breathed hard as I raced down from my climax still.

  “We will need to wait a bit for it to recover,” I said with a huff and Zelenia’s grin widened.

  “I can help with that, my consort,” Zelenia said. I was about to ask what she meant when I saw her tail appear beside her and slowly inched toward me. I felt my hairs stand on end as the spear like tip grew ever closer.

  I had to admit, I honestly considered leaping out of the bed. The tip of the tail could pierce through chain mail. It represented only danger.

  My heart steeled itself as I remembered my words. I promised I would trust Zelenia, and even though my mind was ringing with warnings, I stayed in place.

  My mouth went agape and my eyes widened as I saw the tip of the tail morph and bend. It wrapped tightly around my cock and stroked it slowly.

  The strange feeling combined with the sensitive because of my recent climax was intense. I moaned loudly and felt my manhood stiffen as it gained renewed vigor.

  “You’re amazing, Zelenia,” I said honestly as the tail retreated. Zelenia smiled at me as she got up and climbed into position above me.

  She looked at me, as if searching for any sign that I had changed my mind. When I gave her a resolute nod, her smile widened, and she lowered herself down.

  Then we were truly bonded.

  Zelenia was a unique experience that I doubted I would ever forget. At first she went slowly, so I thought she would be like Eliandra in bed, then she picked up the pace so quickly that it mirrored Lunara’s ferocity.

  Her moans were soft at first, but increased in volume in tune with her speed. Her hands dug into my chest and squeezed tightly as she stared into my eyes.

  A surprise to me was that Zelenia could use her tail to rub my balls and stroke my base. How she could do this while riding me was a mystery, but it only added to the pleasure. My hands gripped her full hips, and we both moaned together as we climaxed in sync.

  Zelenia howled with an almost animalistic tendency as she fell on top of me and her breasts squished against my bare chest. We both huffed together and breathed as if we were out of air. My hands wrapped around her and I massaged the base of her tail while she trailed kisses along my chest.

  With her body heat, the air around me felt warm and sweat trickled down her smooth body.

  This was perfect. She was perfect.

  Zelenia murmured something into my chest and my ears perked up as I tried to hear her.

  “What was that?” I asked while panting. Zelenia breathed hard as she looked up at me.

  “I want more,” she said and the smile on my face widened.

  “Oh, really?” I said. “Didn’t you say when we met that you wanted my seed, well you got it twice.”

  Zelenia’s eyes narrowed as she ran a finger along my chest.

  “More,” she demanded, and I felt a tug on my cock. I could see both of her hands, so that could only mean…

  The sensation rose, and I saw that her tail wrapped around my manhood yet again. I wanted to speak out, but her mouth latched onto my own and my words died in my throat.

  We went again a moment later.

  And then again.

  And again.

  Of all the women I had been with, Zelenia was the one that seemed more interested in getting my seed into her than I was. She did everything she could to squeeze me dry, and I loved every second of it.

  Sometimes she would take control with that tail and coax a climax out of me, and then sometimes I would thrust into her with wild abandon until we both soared with pleasure.

  Every time I finished ins
ide her, Zelenia would coo into my ear and quietly whisper that she wanted more. It would not be long after that the same process would repeat.

  After the tenth time, or perhaps later, we laid limp on the bed together. She held me close as we gripped each other through yet another climax. She placed her head on my shoulder and snuggled closer.

  “Your mine,” she blurted and looked into my eyes, as if daring me to defy her. I chucked at that.

  “No, you're mine, my queen,” I said to her with a pant.

  Zelenia raised her head and seemed to consider this for a moment before she nodded thoughtfully.

  “Yes, I am yours and you are my consort. As it should be,” Zelenia said as she placed her cheek on my shoulder again.

  The only thing I could hear after were our breaths that seemed to be in tune to one another. I enjoyed this moment. The body heat, the sweat, the strange energy I could feel in me. Was this the prime bond she spoke of?

  We exchanged no words, but somehow; I knew that I would do anything for Zelenia.

  And she would do anything for me.

  For this bond was thicker than blood, flesh and bone.

  Chapter 15

  As I laid there, the reason we were here suddenly emerged into the forefront of my mine. I was pretty sure that hours had passed and if they were not looking for us now, they would be soon.

  “Zelenia,” I murmured to the woman that was plastered beside me. “We should go.”

  “Hmm,” she said with a purr. “No, I like it here.”

  I rolled my eyes with a grin as I tried to move her to the side gently. However, it seemed that Zelenia really did not want to go anywhere. I found I could not even budge her an inch. How does she do that?

  “We need to get back to the ball and then wait for your children to…” I said but her face raised herself and she stared at me in the eye.

  “Our child, and do not worry, he's almost ready,” Zelenia said, and I quirked an eyebrow.
