Tenelle: Children of the Gods Book 2

by Patricia Halladay

  “No, it was not your fault. If you could not feel the pull, then he should have said something to you. There is the possibility that your mate bond has been stolen. When was your 18th birthday before or after this?” Vera says with a look that says this is all their fault not mine.

  “After this happened. I was here in at the beginning of August, like the 2nd or 3rd, just before the conference, I turned 18 a month later. So, if he felt it, then why not say anything? He’s more powerful than she is, it cannot be because of that, and his powers will weaken with rejecting me.” I ask, I know Vera will not have answers, but it’s helping me feel better.

  “Little feather, please don’t be sad. I will help you heal; we will find the others together. You are too special and amazing. They are the ones who let a true gift go, and I am the luckiest dragon to be given that gift to love and appreciate. I love you my little feather!” Enox says through our mate bond. We have a strong bond already and it feels amazing to know he loves me.

  “What did Enox say? Whatever it was, remind me to send him a thank you card. You just went from the verge of tears because of those losers, to the brightest smile. He absolutely loves you; the gods were right in giving him to you. I can see even in your eyes the feeling’s pure for him as well.” Vera says with a smile that shows truth in her words.

  “Thank you, Vera. I cannot wait to get back to the park to spend time with him before we go home to start settling down. I hope I can find the others, so we do not have to travel anymore. Well at least not to find them. Work will be a different story though, maybe mom will take my place for me to raise my fledglings. Although, email’s starting to take away most of my work. Not many are using the Messengers anymore. Even the Council of the Gods is getting more advanced.” I say laughing at the last part. All I can think about is getting back to Enox and completing our bond to each other. Vera stays a little longer before her mates come to get her and Tania comes in.

  “Hey kiddo, I wanted to check on you before I go home. I did some checking with both the Great Dragon Council and the Council of the Gods. Neither of them are happy to hear about your mates rejecting you. Elder Merlin knows the wizard from today and he knows exactly what they are looking for. Enox is partially right, but what they did not realize is that the other half of what they are looking for, they have rejected and almost killed. So Elder Merlin said the other 3 will be found soon as they are looking for you also. They know you are nearby. I will keep an eye out for you. Call again if you need to ok?” Tania says giving me a hug and kiss. I honestly think she looks at all of us as her children, she treats me the same as Nimara and Morgana.

  “Ok, I will have to drive this time, that shit for brains blasted me good today. I did not want anyone hurt because they are morons, and the wizard fucked up by rejecting me. Guess I am going to have to watch my back now. The dragons are going to be busy trying to get Trin.” I say and Tania just nods her head and smiles.

  “Alright munchkin, I will see you soon. Love you Tenelle, love you Snow!” Tania says opening a portal and walks through.

  “Later Aunt Tania.” I say and the portal pops closed. “Goodnight, my gorgeous blue dragon! I love you Enox. Sleep sweet!” I lay down and just get comfortable when my phone goes off.

  “Hello?” I hate when there’s no caller ID, and it says unknown.

  “Hi is this Tenelle?” A deep male voice asks.

  “Yes, who’s this and what can I help you with?” I ask, my heart’s racing, and I feel all warm.

  “My name’s Daxton McGill. Elder Merlin said we needed to talk about Trin and Mitchel. When are you free and where can I meet you?” Daxton asks. So, this is Daxton, why does my heart feel like it’s going to come out of my chest?

  “I am leaving tomorrow to head back to Ontario. Mitchel’s the wizard I take it. The ass-hat tried to blast Enox today at the Royal Gargoyle palace grounds the new clans has taken over.” I say and the feeling is slowly being replaced with anger.

  “Shit, is Enox ok? Why was he even there, no one is being sent up!” Daxton says with a great deal of worry to his voice.

  “I said tried, I stepped in front of it and took the blast. Enox is my mate. Since Trin or Mitchel rejected me. I haven’t found the others yet.” I reply.

  “He’s your mate? Wait you are the one Mary-Anne was talking about in August. She said Mitchel was sulking over some girl. Did you not know he was your mate?” Daxton says.

  “No, I didn’t, I turned 18 on September 3. He never tried to even talk to me. Anyways it doesn’t matter, I accepted the rejection. Where is best to meet you? I have to drive because of taking the blast. Snow isn’t able to fly.” I say starting to lose my temper and Snow usually goes out flying when I do. It give me space and time to calm down because of the energy she needs and uses.

  “Ok I will meet you at the new gargoyle clan’s territory. Easier for me to come to you. I will be there around 7 am. Maybe I can help heal you, so your bird’s able to fly.” Daxton says.

  “Thank you, make sure you let Lox and Vera know you are coming. I happen to like them and don’t want them mad at me.” I say, just wanting to sleep.

  “No problems, I will tell Nelly, she will let them know. See you tomorrow. Sleep well Tenelle.”

  “Thank you, you as well, sleep sweet.” I end the call and put that bitch on do not disturb. I still increase the volume for the alarm though. I need to shower, and I now don’t have clothes that smell like Enox, that just fucking sucks.

  During the night, I went dream walking, as my mother calls it. I went straight to Enox. He looked surprised, but soon figured it out. I crawled into bed with him, he got a hotel room for the night, so I was more than happy to stay there for as long as my body would allow. Enox had other plans, he rested himself between my legs and his arms on either side of my shoulders.

  “Does this work the same as if you were actually here?” He asks.

  “Yes, it does. Enox, I am yours and you are mine!” I say as Enox sears our lips to each other, and I get a sudden pain shot up through my body. Enox stops and looks at me.

  “You’re pure, let me know when it stops hurting.” Enox says, with a little worry in his eyes.

  “Don’t stop, it will feel good when I adjust. I love you Enox.” I say wrapping my legs around his waist, and I feel him slide in and out slowly. His cock fills me each time and the pain is quickly leaving. His rhythm picks up and I am panting for more. Heat starts to build at my core, and I can feel the nerves within my pussy becoming more excited.

  “Oh my god, I am cuming little feather.” Enox growls in my ear and tightens his grasp around my thigh. Then I feel a sudden warmth fill me as he slams into me. It causes the heat within me to explode throughout, and I scream for more of him. As my orgasm reaches its peak, Enox bites down on my neck.

  “Holy fuck, yes!” I pant and dig my nails into his back. He purrs, and the vibration causes another orgasm to erupt, sending me screaming his name in pleasure again. I feel his tongue glide across where his teeth were, helping to heal the mating wound. He smiles at me and rests his forehead against mine.

  “You should return to your body little feather; you are going to need complete rest. We will be in each other’s arms soon. Snow should be able to fly tomorrow too. Now that we are mated, she should heal faster.” Enox says, a mischievous smile plays on his lips. He starts to pull out from my pussy, he then thrust back in causing me to gasp and hold on to him tighter.

  “Are you sure you want me to leave just yet? That would say otherwise.” I say smirking at him, and I start to grind my hips on his. Causing him to purr and slide in and out again building another orgasm for both of us.

  “Fuck Tenelle, I am going to cum again. I wish you were truly here.” Enox pants as he release inside of me.

  “I do too, but it’s still the same.” I say in between pants, as I am hit with another wave of pleasure. I rest back into him fully and feel him purring softly.

  “I know but making love to you while you
dream walk isn’t the same as when your body is under mine. Screaming and begging for more.” Enox says slipping completely out of me. “Go back little feather. You need your rest, and I plan on claiming your body fully in the park. You might want to warn your little friend, not to get in my way.” He says laughing. He kisses me with great passion and desire.

  As I slip back into my body, all I see are Enox’s bright blue dragon eyes smiling at me. I jump out of bed and turn the light on. Running into the bathroom, I pull my hair back to look. There resting on my left shoulder blade is a dragon sitting with an owl. I have had the mark of an owl since I was born. None of the other Birds of Prey have their bird marked on them. Just I do, now Enox will have it also.

  “Snow look how beautiful our mate’s mark is! I am so happy that we have Enox.” I say to my owl.

  “Yes, we are lucky! And just think we have 3 others to find also.” Snow says then does her happy owl screech. “Sleep sweet Tenelle, I feel much better already. Love you girl and Enox too!”

  “Love you too Snow, sleep sweet.” I say turning off the lights and getting back into bed.

  During the night, my subconscious thought it would be a good idea to go snooping on our little group of troublemakers. Something seemed extremely off about them. Snow was right the dragon’s a danger, and we need to stay clear of him, but it won’t hurt to see what Enox, and I are up against. I come to a house just at the end of a dirt road. Even when dream walking, I can smell the different scents left by others. What strikes me as odd, is I can smell human with dragon, and two different magic scents. The only female scent belongs to the human, well this is interesting. I walk up to the side of the house, to just under the window and listen.

  “What the hell happened? We needed them alive if we are going to get the map! They would know where it is with living in the Old Dragon’s den!” Mary-Anne says.

  “That disgusting dragon had his claws all over my mate! If it weren’t for you, we would be together now and happy. You stupid bitch! Not all of us get stuck with a worthless human for a mate!” That must be Mitchel.

  “Mitchel calm down, we can get her back. She needs to find all 4 to complete the bond. If we keep her from finding the other three, we will be fine. We did this for a reason, we can’t have power if your brain is only occupied with her.” That would be Trin.

  “You don’t get it Trin, I don’t get a second chance with her. Because I listened to you two fucks, I have lost the woman I was meant to love.” Mitchel says, I can hear the hurt in his voice. He wanted to be with me and because of them, he gave that up. I hope in the end he finds true happiness and peace, without them.

  I call to a Shadow Bright and ask if she can find the fourth scent I can smell. Thank goddess they look like fireflies; she gets in the house and follows the scent. She soon comes flying from another direction and I follow her. In another window, I can see a small boy lying in bed, there this strange device hooked up to him and it’s pulling purple energy.

  “That’s how you’re doing it! You sneaky little bitch. Time to set this right.” I say slowly shifting into the child’s dream.

  “Who are you? Are you going to hurt me?” The little boy asks.

  “No sweetie, I am not going to hurt you. I am going to help you, I need you to do something for me, is that ok?” I ask him.

  “Ok, what is your name? I am Hayden.” Hayden says.

  “Hello Hayden, I am Tenelle. I am a Messenger of the God’s. I shift into a Great White Snowy Owl! What I need you to do is imagine a house with no windows or doors ok, can you do that?” I say with hope I can help him block them draining his magic.

  “Yes, I can see!” Hayden says smiling and a large house with no doors or windows appear.

  “Ok, now I want you to put us in it. Can you do that?” I ask with a smile.

  “Why do we want to be in it if there is no way out?” Hayden asks, he’s a smart boy.

  “Well sweetie, that mean dragon and lady are taking your magic. The lonely wizard’s helping because he thinks they won’t be his friends if he doesn’t. So, I want you in the house until I come back. It will keep them from hurting you anymore and taking your magic.” I say to Hayden and we are immediately in the house.

  “It’s kind of boring in here.” Hayden says sighing.

  “You know what, imagine your favorite things, food, toys, movies, and drinks. Oh, imagine a bathroom too you will need it. Just no windows or doors, if there’s a way in, those mean people can hurt you, and we don’t want that.” I tell him and soon the house is full of his favorite things and a bathroom.

  “Now I can stay in here and they can’t hurt me?” Hayden asks with hope.

  “That’s right, when it’s safe, I will come get you ok? Let no one else in!” I tell him and he nods.

  “What about the goddess? Can she come in?” Hayden asks. I want him safe, and they might use a fake goddess to get him again, like Tim did with Nimara.

  “No sweetie, it could be a trick. I will be the only one able to get in here with you, ok? I can because you let me in. I just need you to stay in here, so you are safe. I am going to stop those bad people from hurting you.” I say and Hayden understands, “ok sweetie, I’ll be back soon. Promise!” I give Hayden a hug and kiss. I pinkie promise him, and Hayden pinkie promises me to stay in here too. When I shift out of Hayden’s dream, I am back outside the dragon’s den. I hear footsteps, so I move away from the window into the trees. I watch as Trin, Mitchel and Mary-Anne look over the machine. It has stopped draining Hayden’s magic because I helped him create a block to protect himself, not even Tania can connect to him now. I watch as Mary-Anne starts freaking out and Trin tries to calm her down. They leave the room, but Mitchel stays behind.

  “I know you helped him protect himself against Mary-Anne. I am so sorry, I never wanted this. I wanted to be with you, but Trin said you wouldn’t want me because I am weak. Please forgive me.” Mitchel says and I shift quickly into his mind.

  “Mitchel, you never should have listened to Trin. He’s dangerous and going to get you killed. I don’t want that for you. I would have gladly taken you as you are. You were created to help balance me and I was to help balance you! Never listen to anyone else when it comes to your mate. Even if they are another part of that mate, I would have gladly told Trin to fuck off and taken you with me. He can suck Hades’ dick for all I care, you are what matters. We cannot change what has happened, but I can help you keep your future.” I tell Mitchel, he looks at me like he has lost everything.

  “You were my future; how do I get to keep you if I walked away from you?” Mitchel says holding me close to him.

  “Just like me, you will have another chance. Don’t let this chance go! Remember, you are made perfectly to balance out your mate! Come with me, we can still have what we were supposed to!” I says hoping he will come with me and we can fix this.

  “You know as well as I do, that Hecate will be angry with me and not let me have what I so carelessly threw away. I’ll do better though; I will keep Hayden safe in the physical world now that you helped him stop them from taking his magic. No other magic caster can come into a Trin’s den. Get someone else with power to come take Hayden out of here. Like Silver Shadow Leader Nimara! Trin has to obey her, she’s his goddess!” Mitchel says and places a kiss on my forehead.

  “Mitchel, I will carry you in my heart forever! Please don’t forget me!” I ask him with tear running down my cheeks, it hurts on some many levels to know I lost him because of someone else. I will make Trin, and Mary-Anne pay for taking him from me.

  “Never my pet! You will always have my heart. Even if I do get a second chance. You will always be there!” Mitchel says wrapping around me. “Mary-Anne has put two tracers on you, the silver pendant is one, the other I don’t know, she also plans on attacking you and Enox at the camp. She wants to get there before you, so she can use you to get information from him about the map.”

  “Mitchel, what happens if I am given another magic c
aster mate and it’s not you? I don’t want to hurt you or him. Can you please just come with me so I can claim you? Please?” I want my mate, the one that was meant to be with me. Mitchel cups my face and wipes my tease with his thumb.

  “I can’t my pet. If you are given another magic caster mate. Claim him! Don’t make my mistake, if at any time you can, do it in front of me. That will render me powerless, I want to make sure I can’t help them hurt you. No matter what. I love you Tenelle, always!” Mitchel says giving me a kiss. I start to fade, and I try to bring him back with me, but can’t.

  “Snow, can we save him? Please? Something feels off. We need to save him. Please?” I ask tears still falling.

  “We will try Tenelle, I definitely want that asshole and bitch dead! They took him away from us!” Snow says, I can feel her anger pulse through our body. “Get some sleep, we will need it for tomorrow. Love you Tenelle!”

  “I love you too Snow. Night.” I say closing my eyes again.

  Chapter 3

  ~ Tenelle ~

  My alarm goes off making it seem like I only got 5 minutes of sleep instead of 7 hours. I get up and turn the damn thing off. There is a stack of clothes and a note.

  Morning Tenelle,

  Enox sent these over this morning with Sydney. He said you would probably want them.

  Thank you for all the paperwork too, it was more gifts and personal letters welcoming us to Canada.

  Both Vera and I are on patrol, so please get breakfast before you leave to meet Daxton. Nelly told us this morning that he requested permission to come talk to you before you left.

  Congrats too by the way! Saw the incredibly beautiful mate mark on your shoulder! Extremely happy for you!
