For my Boy Kreg! Heyyyyyy Kreg! Thanks for reading!
***The End of Synn’s Needing***
Rhage thought for sure he was too spent to move. He could barely see the neon green light of the clock. Two days had passed and Synn was still aroused. Not to mention so was he. It was like his body knew what it was supposed to do for her and it was carrying out its job. Rhage was so tired that Synn had him underneath her. She rode him so good he came three times back to back and Synn released after each one. It was something about her that he could not put his finger on. Hell, he was so tired he could hardly lift his finger. Synn was so much in charge that he felt a bit intimidated. She moved on him like she had not been a newling at all. She knew how to squeeze him with her core and just when to let him go. She teased him to the edge so many times he knew that he’d have bit her but instead he clenched his teeth. He did bite his finger once and Synn began to suckle on that. His neck and wrists were raw and even that sweet spot on his inner thigh. Synn had taken him into her mouth and then bit him. Rhage bucked like stallion but she held on and grabbed him in her hands. As she moved up and down his cock Rhage calmed and threw his head back gasping for air he knew was there. His nalla would be the death of him. He could live with that.
“Oh…fuck…” Synn cried out and clenched down on Rhage’s erection as she came. Rhage swept his hands up her flat belly, and up to her breasts. Her nipples where like diamonds as he pinched them and she moved into his touch. Rolling his hands around to her he pulled her down to him and held her close as he arched his body upward and hit the spot that always made her come a second and third time.
“I love…when you come around me.” Rhage breathed and kissed her forehead. “You fit me…shit!” Rhage came again holding Synn’s ass hold as his seed shot into her. Synn bit into his neck and suckled while moaning softly.
Synn felt the ache of her needing recede and she relaxed against Rhage’s chest. He had given to her and given to her without any hesitation at all. He was such a strong male she knew that she’d never leave him. He was hers. Synn tucked her arms under his and they both breathed steadily.
“Is it over?” Rhage asked.
Synn nodded with a smile as she stared off across the room, “I think so. I’m not in any more pain.” She then wiggled on top of him and he stilled her.
“Just stay right there.” He asked softly. Rhage was too tired and he felt his lids fall on their own.
Synn did not move. It was his first request out of two days of her nearly draining him dry and she was more than happy to obliged him. She closed her eyes and drifted off.
****Four Months Later****
Rhage had received a call from Caemen. She sounded exhausted when Synn had answered and she asked for Rhage. After Rhage stared at Synn with a very worried stare she stepped to him and overheard Caemen crying. The young had died. It was a boy. Rhage insisted being there for the birth but somehow Caemen neglected to call him and tell him that she was in labor. He was furious that he did not get to see the young even if it was not breathing it was still a part of him. Rhage asked her if there was anything that she needed and she read off a few things. He hung up the phone and turned to Synn.
His eyes were focused and he took her in his arms gently. “I want you to stay home nalla. I don’t want you doing anything strenuous.” Synn felt his breath leave and she knew he wanted to cry. Hell, she wanted to cry, anyone with a heart would cry at the loss of a young. “Will you just please stay home and find something to do? Call Tehriny and have her come over and you and her find something else to purchase in those baby catalogs or something.” He motioned his head to the stacks of magazines Synn and her mahmen had found and purchased a good bit of stuff from. But Synn was more amped when she and Rhage went out at night to Babies ‘R’ Us and shopped. He was such a big kid when they passed the toys. He would always state what if it was a female or a male? He had plans for either. But right now he was mourning the death of his son. A son with no name.
Synn nodded against his chest, “I’ll stay home, I promise.” She felt her face flush from wanting to cry for the loss. “Just go and hurry back and we can shop. I enjoy that time with you.”
Rhage pulled back and stared at her in diebelief. “Really? I do also I just thought I drove you crazy.”
“You do but that’s what I love about it. It takes my mind off of…” The other young. “Everything else.” She finished.
“I understand.” Rhage kissed Synn in the top of her head and then placed his hands over her swollen belly. “Protect this one.”
“I will.” She smiled graciously.
“I was talking to the young.” Rhage smiled and kissed her stomach before walking away quickly down the hall.
Synn knew she had promised that she would stay home but she needed to go to the store. It was just up the road and she’d be back before he even knew she was gone. Just in case she took one of her daggers and placed it securely in the side of her boot.
************************************************************************
The store was not crowded and Synn went directly to what she was craving, apples and caramel. She had completely devoured it all at the house and she wanted it too much to not have it. After she walked around and a few humans commented her on her what they called “baby” glow she paid for her things and exited the building. Once she got to the car she had the feeling that she was being watched or even followed. When she turned to get into her car it happened. Synn felt the cold hit to her jaw and just as quick to the other side. Before she could reach in the leg of her boot she was on the ground and her vision faded to black.
“Synn? Nalla?” Rhage called out in gasps. He stood over her with a look of more than worry, but worry and anger. “Can you hear me?”
Synn nodded because she could but there was still ringing in her ears. When she went to lift her upper body up she noticed she was back home in bed.
“What happened?” She was confused. “I…I—“
“You went to the store after I asked you to stay home.” The anger was being forced to the forefront. “Luckily our bond is stronger than I thought.” Rhage walked around the large bed with his eyes lowered to the floor. Then he stopped and looked right into her eyes. “I felt it Synn. I felt each hit to your body.” He started back walking and looked back towards the floor. “The blows to your face and your torso.”
Synn’s hands instantly went to her belly. The young was still there. The roundness of her midsection said it loud and clear. But there was a tender spot just to her left side and Synn winced when she touched it. “I’m sorry love I just…” There was no way of explaining it, she had broken her promise and left the grounds and for what? Some apples and a tub of caramel.
Rhage went into the bathroom and shut the door. Synn heard the shower run and she knew he was going to be a minute. He needed to cool down. He had just heard that his young had died and then hours later his mate had left the house and been attacked. The brother needed more than a shower, he needed a vacation on that alone. Synn sat quietly and ignored the pain on both sides of her face. She had to stay up and talk to him.
”Are you sure you want this young Synnister?”
Synn knew that voice anywhere. She despised the birdlike ring to it.
“Are you insane? Why would I not?” Synn was shocked at the stupid questions that seem to flow from the Scribe Virgins mouth. They were always dumb in her book.
“They may be but nonetheless you should answer the question.”
“Yes!” Synn snapped as the black cloak hovered over and stood beside her bed. “I want my young!”
”Then may I make the suggestion of keeping your eyes on him.
All Synn heard was ‘him’. A son. She smiled. “It’s a male?” She brightened and felt her body warm from the news. Rhage would be so ecstatic when she told him.
“Have you discussed Allister? Have he and you talked about your first mate Synnister?” Synn heard the amusement in her voice and was far from sharing the humor.
“What? Why is Allister a part of this? He is in the Fade. Why should I bring up my past? It’s nothing good talking about the loss of Allister.”
She gave the cloaked female a horrid glare and wished she could look in her eyes. Suddenly the hood dropped and Synn looked her right in the eyes.
“Is this better? Does this help the fact that you still have things in your past that should be discussed?” The singing past of her voice was replaced by thunderclaps and rumble.
Synn maintained her stare. “Allister is not of his concern that was before him.”
"Allister?” Synn’s head turned to Rhage standing in the door of the bathroom with only a towel. She looked back to the Scribe Virgin only for her to be gone. “What about Allister?”
Synn shook her head. “Nothing, it’s nothing.”
“No! How do you know Allister Synn?” Rhage paced his approach to the bed and stood waiting on her to answer.
Synn did not want to talk about Allister, he was her past not her future. Her future was here with Rhage and her son. She smiled and placed her hand over her belly. “He was the male I was to be mated to years ago. Before I entered training.” She said it solemnly and then slowly brought her eyes to his. Rhage dropped the towel that he had used to dry his hair.
“What happened to him?” Rhage asked with more interest. “Where is he now Synn?”
“He’s in the Fade. He was murdered a year before I entered the trainee program.” Synn stopped talking when Rhage plopped his large body on the bed. His face was drained of all blood and Synn saw him thinking. “I didn’t want to tell you because I was trying to get over it myself.”
“No, Synn.” Rhage took her hand and kissed her palm. “It’s okay, maybe it’s good that you said something. I…I was the one that found Allister when he was being attacked.”
Synn jerked her hand back. He had been there? He was the one that they said had brought Allister into the clinic and made them work on him until Havers called it quits. Synn had heard that the warrior would always check by on Allister’s family. Rhage had been the one?
Rhage started to talk and Synn felt the tears run down her face. “I got there and they were…they were toying with him Synn,” Rhage’s voice broke. “They were taunting him and asking him if he wanted to die.” Rhage ghosted from the bed and stood at the footboard. His head was rushing with that night. Rhage held out his arms like he was holding a body. “I killed the lessers and once I got to him…he was asking for…” Rhage looked at Synn. “He was asking for you” he said in amazement. “I never realized it. he said, ‘Synn…take care…Synn…’ I did not get what he was talking about till now. I thought he was just rambling on. Talking through the trauma you know?”
Synn moved to get up and Rhage stopped her. He caught around to her before she pushed the covers back. “But I was only going to hold you. Can’t I at least do that?” Synn winced and lowered her eyes.
Rhage took Synn into his arms and held her close. “I never talked to anyone about this before in my life. Allister was the first loss I’d ever experienced. He was the first victim that I was unable to save.”
Synn began to tear up and she felt him tighten his hold on her. “You won’t let anything happen to us.” She said to assure him so he would not feel weak. Males such as him feel very vulnerable when they can’t control situations such as protecting their mates, or those around them. “I trust you to keep us safe nallum.”
Rhage breathed deep. He was not going to. He had to at least keep his shellan and unbirthed young safe.
