Dr. Luna
The Fairy’s Forbidden Mate Chapter 63

I think he's mad. Cody mind linked with a smirk.

No s**t Cody. Now what. Rhea sighed and squeezed herself between her two guardians.

It's not like he has truth serum. Let the bastard fret over it. He can't force it out of you. Don't tell him. own damn good.

Or he puts her on lock down anyways because he is suspicious over what she plans to do? Cody sighe "Man, I can't keep up with your guys' mood swings." Titus rubbed his temples as he looked between Le "We don't need a public audience for this. Rhea let's go talk." Lee walked to his room and waited for h something back for awhile now. He could feel it. She never was good at hiding secrets. He had been h decided to ask her about it.

Rhea looked back at the room and then sighed. "What should I do here?"

for him to be mad then to stop you from doing what you need to. Kelsie snorted. How dare he look at Rhea like that. What Rhea was planning was for his

Rhea.

le. This did not need to be a public affair. It didn't need to turn into a shouting match or an argument. He just wanted her honesty. She's been holding he would tell him whatever it was. At first, he was nervous. He thought maybe she had feelings for Titus, but once he realized that wasn't the case, he finally

stop me, would you?" Rhea asked him quietly.

"You already know Rhea. It's what you have wanted to do since you knew. You have been looking for hver over a certain question anyways." Cody smiled down at her. "No matter what... if it is something that has to get done it will. I promise no one will stop us." "It's fine guys. It's fine. Everyone knows what is going on but me. It's fine though." Titus kicked at the g a bit with a frown. "Titus. If there was something really important, I might have to do but it could be dangerous... you wo Titus looked at her thoughtfully and then smiled. "No, I wouldn't stop you, but I would be coming too. Rhea smiled and nodded her head. "Thank you. I think fun time will be on hold for a little bit. You thre staring at her. Whether this was the right or wrong decision to make it was the one she needed to mal "Lee..." She looked into his blue pools and smiled. "There is something that is on my mind. And I have it which is probably why you could tell I was keeping something from you." She started rambling a bit "I guess I didn't want you getting mad or trying to stop me..." She whispered out quietly.

Lee let out a sharp sigh. "So, it is dangerous then." He closed his eyes and groaned as he leaned his h that she was worried about. So he told himself to be more open. But when it comes to her safety...

de what it is we are going to do." Rhea slowly walked to the bedroom and shut the door behind her. She saw Lee leaning against the wall. He was quietly needed to know how he felt. It wouldn't be fair if not. She walked up to him and took his hand into hers.

you about it because... well I wasn't sure if I would need to and I didn't want you to stop me if I did. But honestly it is bothering me not talking to you about e reached a hand up and gently cupped her cheek. He smiled at her and she smiled back.

ck. He told himself to calm down and hear what she has to say. He never wanted her to feel like she couldn't tell him something. He knew it was his reaction

"I mean yes and no. It has been dangerous, but it shouldn't be as dangerous to me." Rhea bit her bottom lip and watched Lee open his eyes to look back at hers. "I guess I should start at the beginning."

"Back when I had my vision. I also heard a voice then too. At first I thought maybe it was my great grandmother but now grandpa Sage and I think it was from the Moon Goddess."

"The Sage is in on this too?" Lee growled out in annoyance.

"I left Titus out though." She gave Lee a sheepish grin and then cleared her throat. "The voice..." She took in a deep breath. This next part would give everything away. "The voice said for me to find the Ocean's Tear." Yep, that did it. Instant dark stormy eyes flooded over Lee. She watched his lips curl back into a snarl and he sighed angrily.

"You. Were. Going. To. Go. Get. The. Ocean's. Tear?"

She listened as he enunciated each word as he struggled to hold in his anger.

"I don't know. Maybe... if I had to." She bit her bottom lip as she heard him let out a dark chuckle.

"The game you played... about immortality. You were fishing for my thoughts because of the Ocean's Tear. Sneaky."

"It wasn't fair though. A game is hypothetical. It isn't your real thoughts. That's why I have been struggling. How could I possibly take away your immortality from you? That would not be fair. Just so we can be together. How could I make such a big decision on my own to link our lives together?"

Lee's eyes softened and he held her face gently between his hands. "That is not the problem here. A mortal life with you is all I could ever ask for. I don't need eternity. I need you. My life would end when yours did whether I was immortal or not." He leaned his head against hers. "If my life could end when yours ends it would be a blessing. I don't want to live in a world where you are not part of it." He leaned in and kissed her forehead. "But the Ocean's Tear... it's a trap baby. And I don't know what that damn Moon Goddess, Selene is up to."

"Why is it a trap?"

"No one has ever returned from trying to retrieve it. Everyone who has gone for it has died. It is nothing more than a trap from a jilted goddess. If she can't be happy then no one else can be either."

"Is the Ocean's Tear not what it is said to be?" Rhea wondered if the item was actually real.

"It is. It is just impossible to get." Lee brushed his lips against her forehead again.

"Is it though? I'm not just a mere mortal, Lee. If it is in the merrow queens hands then I have a chance. She is technically one of MY subjects. She is a marine fairy."

"She's vicious. She would never give it to you. Rhea push this from your mind. It really isn't an option." He did not want her embarking on a fool's quest where she had no hope in seceding.

"Lee, she is no match for me. I can at least speak with her with no ill will."

"Rhea... I can't go where she is at. She stays in a barrier where deities can not go. This is why we can't get the tear for ourselves. I can't go there with you. I couldn't protect you there."

"I don't need you to protect me. Lee. I'm not going right now. But. At least think of it as an option. Don't take it off of the table. Because I would do anything and risk anything to be able to live freely with you. Do you not feel the same?" Rhea listened to his agitated breath.

"I can't lose you Rhea."

"Right, and I can't lose you either. I won't live with you locked away somewhere. We can't keep this secret forever. I need you Lee. I can't survive without you."

Lee leaned in and pressed his lips against hers. "I'm going to convince the others. So you don't have to worry about this okay?"

Rhea smiled. "Okay, but if you aren't able to, I am going to choke the merrow queen until she coughs up the tear." She gave a super sweet smile that made Lee chuckle.

"No more talk of the Ocean's Tear then... promise?" Lee tilted his head down and raised his eyes looking at her.

"Promise. But if you fail this fairy princess is raising hell. You really are over thinking all of this. The merrow queen killed other mortals but I will be the first fairy princess asking for it. She won't kill me. She could refuse me but she wouldn't kill me. I'm the one she needs to worry about. It isn't the other way around. I'm being underestimated here." Rhea sighed and rolled her eyes.

“I prefer to underestimate you. Then you'll never be at risk."

Rhea swung her arms around Lee's neck. "Thank you for just listening and not freaking out. Was it hard?" She smirked up near his lips.

He chuckled down at her. "Yes. I don't want you to feel like you can't tell me something. No secrets between us, Rhea. I want you to tell me everything."

She smiled. "I think I have been pretty honest with you. I even told you exactly how I felt about you."

He leaned down near the crook of her neck and buried his face in her mark. "You know... after tomorrow... I'm going to have to purify this mark again." Lee's hot breath fanned against her skin.

"Maybe I need a pre-purification now?" She smiled and leaned her neck into him as he chuckled against her skin. He gently nipped at her mark and placed a hot kiss over it.

"I better get away from my little temptress before you steal my virtue."

Rhea gave him a side look. "Who are you fooling? You are a deity. You've lived for who knows how long... you don't have any virtue to steal."

Lee looked at her a bit sadly. "Hey, don't be sad Lee. It's understandable. I'm not bitter or mad about it." She really wasn't trying to jab at him for being... experienced.

"None of them ever meant anything to me. None. No one has ever mattered but you... you are the one I will give everything to Rhea. I will not look at anyone else but you. My life...everything I am now belongs to you. Whatever you want from me just say it and it is yours."

She gave him a wry grin. "That's not true either because what I have been wanting from you, I haven't gotten yet." Instantly, he flipped their positions around and she was now pinned up against the wall. Their ragged breaths now quietly filled the room. "We don't have to wait Rhea. I'll give you whatever you want... now..." His voice was raspy as he drew his face close to her lips. His eyes flickered from his blue and dark hue as he waited for her response.

"Now who is tempting who?" Rhea leaned forward and pecked his lips. "Sorry for teasing you. I don't want to wait. But I agree. It will probably be for the best to wait until our relationship doesn't have to be a secret. I can barely keep parted from you now. It will probably be worse after completing the mating bond."

"Much worse..." Lee leaned forward and melted his lips against hers. He slowly parted and let out a frustrated groan. "Come on sweet fairy. I need to get you away from my inner demon. Let's go enjoy our evening."

Rhea was wanting to meet his inner demon. It sounded intense and fun. She smiled and nodded to him. She walked by his side and leaned her head on him. She couldn't wait for her wolf to come out so she could claim and mark Lee. He might have had fun with others before, but he was no longer available. She wanted to officially declare him off limits.
