Out of the World

3. Family time

Zorion

After parting with my beautiful Nina, I could feel a surge of energy crossing my body. My heart was beating faster and my d.ick was still hard as a rock. Everything in me wanted, yearned for her. The delicious tingles at contact, her smell, everything about her was perfection.

Now I only had to wait to meet her again and control myself to not end up following her around like a lovesick dog. I had to respect her space, even when the bond magic compelled me to stay close, to get lost in her.

I had to distract myself and share the amazing news with my family.

So, for the first time in months, I opened a portal back to my home in the Six Realms. My sisters would be thrilled to hear about Nina. I wanted to tell the whole world about her, claim her, have her by my side every day and forever.

As I crossed the golden portal, I opened my hotel room, excitement pumped into my veins. I couldn’t wait to be with her. I wanted to know everything about my mate. About my Nina. Even though I could easily cast a compelling spell on her roommate or even the civil authorities to get to know about her, I wouldn’t do it. It wasn’t right and I wanted to hear everything from her mouth, in her words.

The portal led me to our wide living room, where my sisters Helena and Lola were listening to music and singing aloud, between giggles and chuckles.

“Zorion, we missed you!” Lola ran towards me with a huge smile and threw herself in my arms.

“I missed you too!” I hugged her tightly.

“You are here, so does that mean that you found your lady?” Lena lifted a dark-blonde brow at me, the corners of her lips lifting in a funny smile.

“I found her!!” I exclaimed, hugging Lena as well and jumping around at a frantic rhythm. Our six-year-old sister, Aurelia, came hopping into the living room, a doll in her arms.

“Auri, I found my mate!” I lifted little Auri, twisting her around, which made her giggle and squeal non-stop. Besides the three of them, I had a younger brother.

“Zo, I am dizzy and my doll too!” she squealed between her sweet laughter. I put her down and she ran towards Lola’s arms. Lola smiled at her and placed a tender kiss on her forehead.

“Oh, you must be very happy! You have even hugged me.” Lena teased, patting my shoulder.

“Of course I am!” I exclaimed, unable to contain my heartfelt smiles. Damn, I was beyond happy!

“Don’t be silly, Lena! He always hugs you, since you shared mom’s womb,” Lola smiled. Lena and I were twins, and we were always very close, even when she insisted on bickering and mocking me.

“I just wonder what kind of female would be mated to a babbling baboon like you,” Lena said, placing a thoughtful hand under her chin and chuckling.

“The most beautiful female in the whole human realm, that I can assure you! You can tease me as much as you want, it won’t work, I’m in a very good mood, Sissy!”

Lena rolled her eyes, folding her arms in front of her chest, “I’m happy for you, baboon! Don’t ever call me Sissy again.”

“Now we have to meet her! I am so excited!” Lola smiled, her eyes filled with happiness.

“We definitely have to meet her soon! A human in the family, that’s just amazing!” my mom said with a huge smile as she entered the living room. My father was right behind her, his face contorted in a small frown. He didn’t look half as amused as my mom. She was always fascinated by the human realm.

“I am happy your search is over, Zo,” dad patted my shoulder lightly before turning to my little sister, “It’s bedtime, sweetheart!” he said softly, taking Auri in his arms. She curled up in his arms, burying her face into his chest.

Auri was a perfect mix of my mom and him, with her big blue eyes that changed to hazel depending on her emotions, and wavy golden-blonde hair. My mother had three mates: Elric, Laius, and my father - Avalon the Wizard King. Auri and I shared a father, unlike my other siblings.

“Good night, Daddy’s little girl!” Lena teased Auri, but the little one never fell for it. She was way too good-tempered and only giggled at Lena.

“Yes, my daddy is the best, fluffy like a bear!” Auri smiled and yawned at the same time.

“Fluffy isn’t my word of choice for all those muscles, but whatever you say, Sweet bunny!” Mom chimed in, running her fingers through Auri’s golden hair.

“I am so happy for you, Zo! And I am very excited to meet my daughter-in-mate. I hope now that you found her, you can come back home and, of course, bring her along. You know how I love to be close to all my babies,” she smiled, giving me a warm hug. After saying good night, my parents left with Auri.

“Now you have to tell us everything about your mate!” Lola squealed.

“At least one of us was lucky, right? I will grab some drinks. I know, Lola, you only want tea,” Lena mumbled, walking away.

“She is happy for you. She is just still very hurt. But she will be okay, we all will be, especially now that we have a miracle to celebrate, your encounter with the other part of your soul,” Lola gushed, hooking her arm around mine and heading to the sofa. Lola also had a broken heart to nurse, but she was much better at it than Lena.

“She can still find her mate, Lola. She is still twenty. I understand her urgency, her craving… I felt like that before I met Nina too, but Lena shouldn’t lose hope,” I exhaled sharply.

My eyes drooped and my jaw locked slightly. I hated to see Lena this hurt, I knew that it was much harder for her than for me. She still had trouble controlling her psychic powers, so she could never catch a second of peace. There were always voices, emotions and thoughts that weren’t hers crossing her mind, during night and day. She tried to distract herself to silence these sensations, but it was almost impossible.

Lena was feeling much worse since her heart was broken and her hopes crushed. She was in love with her childhood best friend, and they both really hoped and believed that they were mates. On the day of his eighteenth birthday they didn’t only realize that they weren’t mates, but that he was little Auri’s mate. Lena was completely a wreck and even after two years, she couldn’t recover completely. The fact that her headaches increased with her powers also didn’t help her at all.

I wished she could find her mate soon and it would calm her mind, fill her heart and soothe her pain.

“Babes, I have tequila and moooore!” Lena walked in with a huge tray of alcoholic drinks and a cup of floral tea for Lola. Lena really liked drinks from the Human Realm, rather than the classical Fairy Wine.

“Do we need all of that?” Lola looked at the tray, gasping.

“Yes! It’s celebration time! Now, now, tell us everything about your beloved, Zo!” Lena bounced onto the sofa, a bottle of tequila gold in her hand.

“Her name is Nina and she is from a human country called Spain. She looks like an angel and her eyes are warm and sweet like honey!” I gushed.

“Your dad will be happy to have you around, he wants you to start learning the king stuff for when the day comes that you succeed him in a thousand years. You have time, but A. isn’t the patient type, right? Anyways, he didn’t seem so happy about your mate. I hope mom finds a way to make him lose his frown. But, but, but… Goddess, I am so happy to have you back, Zo! Life makes no sense when it’s not the three of us together and now we will have an addition to the gang. Nina will surely be the best human ever, to be matched to the greatest babbling baboon in existence,” Lena said after taking a long sip of her tequila, her eyes brimming with tears. But I knew that she wouldn’t cry, she never cried.

“She definitely is! I hope to bring her here soon,” I exhaled, taking a sip of Lena’s tequila. I knew well that it wouldn’t be that easy. Humans weren’t familiar with our world, so I couldn’t even imagine how she would react after hearing about what I was and our magic connection.

Lola placed her hand on top of mine and, as if she could read my thoughts, she said, “Maybe she will accept it well. All I know about humans is what I see in the movies and read in books. But I think most of them would love to have a little bit of magic in their lives.” She gave me a reassuring smile.

“Yes! Magic is supposed to make things easier, and you look damn fine, Brother! When a great guy shows up with his sweet smile and kindness and tells you that he will take you to another world and make you see stars, there is only one answer: yes please!” Lena added with a chuckle.

“Let’s hope so, I can’t wait to have her in my arms!” I murmured.

“I can imagine. You are saving yourself for your mate, so you must have so much pent-up lvst in there. You will eat this little human with a single bite!” Lena chuckled again, she was already a bit tipsy. I took the bottle from her hand and with a snap of my fingers, I made the tray of drinks disappear.

“Hey! That was mean! Bring my boys back! I can’t sleep without a good round with Johnny Walker, Jose Cuervo, and Jack Daniel!” she grumbled, naming her drinks and frowning at me.

“You don’t need any boy, Lena. I will sleep with you, like we did when we were kids!” Lola told her and Lena flashed our bigger sister a tiny smile before placing her blonde head on Lola’s shoulder. Lola and I exchanged a worried look, but I knew she would look after Lena and make sure our crazy beloved sister was okay.

“I’ll go to the library and get some good books to take with me. I’ve already read everything I took last time,” I told my sisters and Lola smiled. She shared the love for reading with me.

“I will go to see our parents now, if they aren’t too busy…” I frowned at my own words, not wanting to imagine whatever they were doing after mom and dad tucked Auri into her bed.

“Sure, I will teleport this sleepyhead to bed,” Lola told me, attracting my gaze to a fast asleep Lena.

A smile surged on my lips just at the thought of my beautiful mate, “See you soon, Lola. I am going back to her realm tonight. Tomorrow I have a meeting with the woman that holds my future in her hands.”
