A New World: Short Fantasy

Trey's POV

I hold my mate in my arms and listen to her breathing. She settles my soul and sets my blood on fire at the same time. Just a few short months ago, I almost lost her to a damn incubus named Amir.

Luckily, he didn't know I already shared a bond with Callie.

“How the hell did you even get in here?” Demanded Amir the moment I showed up inside Callie's mind to find him holding her naked body against some huge-ass bed. Damn that made my blood boil! I was so damn jealous, but I was also angry because I knew she didn't want that.

“Because I have a bond with the woman you decided to take from me,” I snarled, sending sparks of shimmering light from my fingertips. I was preparing for a fight. One I had no intention of losing. Because it meant I'd lose her to him... And I would never let that happen.

Amir froze at my words and looked between the two of us. “No. There is no way you have a bond with her... not without her knowing!”

I swallowed hard and looked over at Callie's shocked face with regret in my eyes. I really didn't want her to find out this way. I wanted to tell her the other night at the park, but never got the chance to. So, now instead of a private moment between mates, we had an audience with someone trying to steal her away from me. “I haven’t been able to tell her about it yet.”

“And she hasn’t rejected it?” Amir snarks. He must have thought I was crazy. I could see the disbelief in his eyes. He wanted me to be lying. But it was the truth. I knew it deep in my bones, Callie could feel everything I was. It wasn't a complete bond... that would come after she turned 18. After I took her body for my own.

“I doubt it, or I wouldn’t have been able to get here,” I smirked. It didn't matter if he believed me or not. Callie was mine, and I was completely hers.

I push the memory from my mind. Amir is the last one I want to think about while I'm holding my girl in my arms. The only thing I want to think about is how she felt wrapped around me last night as I spent hours pleasuring her like the queen she is.... But I have to admit, she is an amazing lover. It was by no means one sided... and I can't wait to do it all over again.

Calliope is perfection. Her soft body molding to mine, heat wrapping around me, scent surrounding my entire being. I want to sink deep inside her while she's sleeping... I'm not being a creep. I can't explain the connection I feel pulsing through me when we are connected like that.

I press a soft kiss on her forehead, breathing her in. My fingers trail across her smooth skin in lazy patterns. I can feel the prickles on her skin beneath my fingertips. I smirk as she squirms from my touch... I want to see more than squirming... I want her writhing under my body once more. It was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen as I watched her shatter beneath me.

I look down at her drowzy face and chuckle. Her hair is all messed up and her lips are still swollen from my aggressive kisses. Her cheeks are lightly flushed from sleep. She has no idea how gorgeous she is right now.

Yesterday was a big day for my Callie. It was her 18th birthday. A day I had been counting down for the last 5 years of my life. But that wasn't the only thing of significance that happened.

Yesterday was our mating ceremony, and while we stayed out of obligation to my mom, I just wanted to whisk her away somewhere quiet. I smile as I remember our words creating a magical pact that can never be unbroken.

"My heart to your heart,” I started low and soft. No one else needed to hear my words. They were meant only for her.

“My heart to your heart,” she repeated.

“My soul to your soul,” I continued, now a little shaky. I didn't know I'd be so damn nervous after I already started, but at that moment everything became real. This was really happening! Our souls would be joined. She'd already had my heart years ago...

“My soul to your soul,” she whispered. I noticed tears gathering in her eyes, but she blinks them away. I knew for a fact they were happy tears, so I didn't mind at all... But I knew she did. Nadia had spent forever on her make up and my sister would kill me if her picture perfect face was ruined before we even got to the pictures!

“My magic to your magic,” I continue, a little stronger, the hint of a smile playing at my lips. I wanted to be strong for her... Maybe sometimes being strong means being willing to show your weakness as well, because I knew she could see it in my eyes at that moment.

“My magic to your magic,” she repeated. I swear at that moment, we are the only two people on the planet. There was no one else in the room. No onlookers. No friends and family. Just her and me. Just like it was meant to be.

“What was two, now becomes one.” I had no idea how final those words were, but I could feel it resonate down in my soul.. She was absolutely mine and no one would ever tear her from me again. I would sacrifice my life for this woman and I knew she would do the same for me. But that's never going to happen, because from that moment on my entire life was dedicated to making sure she was safe.

“What was two, now becomes one,” she finished.

I look down at my tattooed arm covered in golden vines as it wraps around my girl, pulling her closer to me. That was really unexpected, and had quite a few people gasping in shock, including me.

To be completely honest, I had no idea what it meant... And neither did any of my friends by the looks on their faces.

When I fell in love with this girl all those years ago, I had no idea what would happen. I didn't know that our magic would mingle together, giving me my own mark... One that decided out fates.

I looked at Callie and she sparkles like she’s been doused in golden glitter! And now her mark, the one I gave her is covered in gold sparkles on top of my blue. It looks like magic dust!

“What does this mean?” I asked Grand Elder Anastasia, who is giving us a watery smile. I was pretty damn sure she had all the answers I needed at that moment. She is an ancient being, after all. But she looked so shocked, I wasn't sure what to expect. Was this a good thing or a bad thing?

“It means that you and Calliope are now our King and Queen,” she says in awe.

I really didn't know what to make of her answer. I could tell by the shocked look on Callie's face she had not expected this either. How could we be the king and queen? Callie just turned 18 and I'm almost 20 years old! The world of magic should not be governed by two people so inexperienced as us!

I don't want to think about it yet. Anastasia will give us a few hours before we have to show up at the Council... I don't want to think about becoming a King... I already have my queen in my arms and that is all that matters to me. It was our wedding night after all... We could deal with the rest of the world later...

Last night was perfect. I smirk at the perfect memory that is now seared into my brain. Every moan and sigh is burned into my mind like a sirens song. I almost laugh. Callie isn't a siren. Selene is! But Callie is a witch. I suppose that means she has me under her spell...

The way she quivered under my touch. The way she made my heart race with need from a single kiss. The way our bodies fit like two long lost pieces begging to be brought together.

I've never touched another woman. Callie was the only one I've ever wanted, and I'm so glad I waited for her. I know the guys thought I was nuts for waiting so long to touch her, but I wanted it to be special. I wanted her to know I would wait for her, and it wasn't about what I needed.

Nothing could've prepared me for the power flowing through me when our bodies finally connected. All the waiting, anticipation and patience, culminated into one big explosion. It's like my world was spinning off its axis, and there was only Callie. She was my everything.

And the way she touched me, moaned my name like some prayer, had me completely enthralled. I wanted to hear more of her. Feel more of her. I wanted to crawl up into her until we had merged into one being. And that was exactly what it felt like. Coming together in one perfect being.

I tried to go slow last night. I swear I did! But the moment her lips landed on mine, I lost all control. I don't remember getting to our house, or how we made it to the bed. I don't even remember getting undressed. All I remember is her body underneath mine, wrapped around me like she was never going to let me go. The skin contact was almost more than I could take. Everything sparked and burned with pleasure and need.

I had no clue what true pleasure was until I was deep inside my mate. Sparks flying through my veins as our rhythm became all encompassing. I needed her... so badly. I wanted to make the moment last... but it was impossible. It kept building until we were at the very edge of the universe, free falling.

And when we came crashing down together, I swear I could feel the stars. I definitely could feel the mate mark. It sparkled against my skin, sending tingles through my mind, reminding me that much more that I belonged to her.

Callie stirs in my arms and blinks her sleepy eyes open and gives me a lazy smile that has me turning hard instantly. Damn! I swear this is her new magic trick and she is way too good at it. Did she know that just that look would have me begging to sink into her sweetness again?

"Morning my king," she whispers, pressing her soft warm breasts up against my hard chest. I groan and the contact. She feels so good. I want to play with them... but something else is pressing hard against her center, asking for more attention right now.

"Good morning my queen," I teased before sliding my hand down her naked back. The shivers running through my body have my blood boiling already. "How are you feeling, beautiful?" I ask, kissing along her neck, making my way down to her chest. I smirk as I capture one of her hard nipples in my mouth, sucking and licking softly.

She gasps. "Trey," she moans, sliding her hand down my body and grabbing my hard length in her delicate hands, rubbing me against her slick entrance, short circuit my brain. "I... I'm... I need you again," she mumbles.

To hell with thinking. I roll her on her back and thrust deep inside her in one swift motion. She's already dripping for me...

Hours later we are in front of the Council.

Grand Elder Anastasia smiles, welcoming us to her home. "My King and Queen, thank you for coming. Now is the time to set up our new order," she states, giving us each a warm hug. She has always reminded me of a grandmother... Well, she is. She's Knox's grandmother... And with the way he and my sister have been going at it, I'm guessing she will be a great-grandmother pretty soon... but they haven't said anything one way or the other... Not that I really want to know!

"What does that mean?" I ask a little confused. She talked to me and Callie last night, but said she will explain everything today. Yesterday was a day of celebration and not one of business... I appreciated that more than she can know.

"Most of the magical community has no idea who you are yet. We need to set up a coronation, along with guest councils from all over the world, and then you two will need to... go on a tour. I guess you could think of it as an extended honeymoon," she giggles, her eyes full of mischief.

"A tour?" Callie asks, completely confused.

I'm confused too. I had no idea what the hell any of this was about. A freaking tour? To where? Just yesterday I was just another of the Guard, and now I'm supposed to be crowned King! All because I got this mark.

"Yes. You will need to meet the magical communities round the world," Mom spoke up, with an understanding smile on her face. "We understand that this is all overwhelming, dear, so take your time. We aren't going anywhere."

"Around the world?" Callie asked, paling slightly. I watch as she stays, trying to take in the enormity of our new situation that has been thrust upon us. Our world has not had a King and Queen in a few generations now, so this is all new to us.

My poor girl. She was not one who liked lots of attention, and now she was going to be queen and had to meet people all over the world.

I wrap my arms around her, pull her onto my lap and kiss her temple. "Don't worry, baby. I've got you. And I will be with you every step of the way," I promise, whispering into her ear so only she could hear me.

"And don't think for one moment, you two will be on this all alone," Leo states, looking over at Levi. "Your friends will all be here for your council. Of course you will have to set it up. But we will also be here at your disposal to help you start."

"That's right! We are all here to support you," Nadia giggles beside us. I love my sister. She has always supported me, no matter what I was doing, or if I was being stupid. Like when she told me I should just tell Callie how I felt about her, but I blew her off. Sometimes, I wonder if I really am the older brother because she seems to have everything all figured out.

"We got your back, bro," Jaxx says, patting me on the back. And now, we were officially brothers! I'm mated to his sister, after all. I smile at the thought.

All those years I thought Jaxx would kill me if he ever found out I was in love with his sister... I should've just told him in the first place. He was not happy when I first told him the truth.

“I’m so happy! You have no idea! Congratulations you two!” Hesita cooed at the two of us.

“What the hell are you talking about?” Jaxx demands.

“Your sister wears his mark now! Of course, I’m not letting you stay with him until you turn 18! So, you have about 3 months left until we can perform the ceremony!" she explained like she was telling him 2 and 2 equaled 4.

“WHAT?!” Snarled Jaxx. That was exactly the reaction I was sure I was going to get.

But I just sighed and placed a kiss on my girl before laying it all out. “Jaxx, I’m in love with your sister. Have been for years. Now I’ve claimed her. That’s all there is to it.”

It's taken a while, but he's come to terms with it. I think having Selene by his side really helped that out too. Now that he is finally happy, he wants us to be happy too.

I look around at all the support from my friends and family, and then back to my sweet mate beaming with pride. I can feel her so proud of me, even if I'm not sure I deserve it. But I know we will figure this all out together.

"I guess we gotta organize a whole new world," she smiles at me.

And she is exactly right. This is going to be a new world.
