The time is coming..................Shy has known this for a while now. She has been in denial but the pull has been getting stronger....................the mating bond. Why her? She NEVER wanted to be mated. After what happened to her father in the wake of her mother's death, she swore she would never put herself through it. When her mother died, her father was so lost, he left his children in the care of humans, as he couldn't function well enough himself to properly care for them. She loved her human family, but if the bond could be that destructive, she knew that she never wanted any part of it. The chances were slim, there were not many Misceo's that experienced the true mating bond, so she believed she would be safe......................until Grayson.
She met Grayson through Nox, he was an associate that worked with Nox. As soon as she met him, in the back of her mind she knew. She didn't want to know, and her denial was strong, but when he touched her for the first time she KNEW, she was terrified, and she ran. She has been running ever since, moving around throughout all the territory. Not staying in one place too long.
She knew she couldn't run forever. Misceo's with a true mating bond had a mental and physical sense for one another that was not to be denied. It got stronger once the union was consummated. She had not taken that step with Grayson yet, but still she could feel him...........had been able to feel him through the mental bond they shared, even if she was physically distant from him. Lucky for her, Grayson was a patient man. He had let her have her space to come to terms with their fate.
Lately she could feel his restlessness...........and the pull to him was getting stronger. She feared his patience with her was wearing thin.
And this morning, Nox arrived with the confirmation. Grayson was tired of waiting...........he was coming for her.
What did she do? She was tired. Work wasn't the distraction it once was.
And it was a struggle to try and shut Grayson out day after day...........she was mentally exhausted. Had the time come to face her fears?
Nice build-up of suspense. I want to yell at her: Yes, for heaven's sake, yes! You and Grayson are meant to be together. Don't let him get away.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Yes, sometimes I get aggravated at her too. This story telling business is hard! One of the reasons I started this blog was to challenge myself to tell stories with words, not just pictures, but it doesn't always come to me easily. Story telling through photos is a much easier aspect for me that putting actual words to the pictures. Making someone feel something is good though...............makes me feel like I'm on the right track! Thanks for always taking the time to read and comment!
DeleteYou are definitely on the right track. Keep at it. I want to know what happens next. (Writing teachers always advise students to show, not tell. If you can show in words, you've arrived. Photos make a great accompaniment.)
DeleteThanks so much for the encouragement! Much appreciated!!
