Chael relaxed slightly when those powerful arms wrapped around his waist. He needed this-- he needed the male’s warmth and deep, husky voice. After a few seconds of hyperventilating, he relaxed and looked up at the large male with weary blue eyes. “I-I’m sorry too. I’m being difficult. I-I just--” he whimpered and buried his face in Velos’ chest. “I just don’t want to be told what to do with my life anymore and my body is all hot--”
He sighed shakily and licked the other’s jaw line submissively, purring slightly as that big hand rubbed his back. “I’m ready. I’ll be good. I’ll be your mate. Better you than any other.” he whispered softly, closing his eyes and letting his muscles untense. The deep rumbling in Velos’ chest also helped ease his worries. His eyelids lowered in a state of subservient calm and he followed the male to where they were to perform the ceremony, small hand enveloped by Velos’. As they walked through the vast menacing halls, he noticed that many females and older males were keeping other young dominants from moving too close.
He was thankful he was coated in Velos’ scent or else other’s would have definitely jumped him by now. “Will the ceremony take long,” he whispered worriedly, moving closer to the prince. “I worry your scent won’t hold up long enough.”

Velos kept purring and rubbing Chael's back gently as the little male calmed down. He felt his muscles untense and looked into the boy's tired blue eyes as he spoke.
He wasn't expecting the small boy to apologize to him. He chuckled softly at the mention of his body being all hot. It was to be expected since the small dragon was in heat. Finally Chael submitted to him and agreed to be his mate. His pendant throbbed warmly against his chest and he smiled softly.
"Good boy. Let us go now," he said. He took the boy's hand and led him from the room.
Now they were walking down the familiar halls of Velos' home toward the Bonding chamber. On each side of the halls older males and females were holding the other hormone crazy male dragons at bay. The halls were practically lined with them. Velos growled and shot warning looks to the males as they passed by. He looked down at Chael when he spoke and put and arm protectively over his shoulder.
"I don't know. It depends if the guards can keep the others out of the Bonding chamber. Even with the females' help though I doubt they will be able to for long. Most likely the formalities will be removed and we go straight to where they actually marry us," he said.
He really didn't know. The only thing he knew was that he had to get Chael to the chamber quickly. He could already see some of the other males slipping through.
"I suggest you change into your dragon form. It will be easier to protect you if one of them slips through," he whispered in the boy's ear. He was watching the other males closely in case they managed to break free. He turned into his Dragon form and growled dangerously at a male that was about to get through.

Chael was quick to obey the suggestion. His white scales seemed to gleam in the firelight, glowing an alluring silver. He stayed close to Velos, licking his cheek appreciatively when the male growled at another to protect him. His instincts told him that Velos was the best choice for a mate and he was, indeed, strangely drawn to him. He was quite relieved when they finally slipped into the bonding chamber-- out of the line of sight of other dragons.
The bonding ceremony was indeed shortened quite a bit. They transformed back to their original selves near the end and spoke vows the old, wise Dragon recited to them from a flaking book of magic. “…And do you, Chael Amadeus, swear that these vows of marriage shall tie you both together, body and soul, for every life henceforth. That you shall be faithful and obedient to your dominant. That you shall love him as much as your heart will allow.” the old dragon croaked, grinning broadly at the to.
“I-I do.” Chael stammered, looking up into Velo’s eyes. The man’s aura was already soothing him, making him yearn for kisses and more.
“Then, by the power invested in me by the noble Gods and Goddesses, I now pronounce you life mates-- soul mates-- until the end.” he purred smoothly, looking at the young couple with gentle eyes. “You may now kiss your mate Velos and hurry him off to your chambers to consummate before those hooligans break my door down.”

Velos nuzzled the small male when he licked his cheek and hurried him into the bonding chamber. Velos sighed and relaxed considerably once they were safely inside. As they went through the shortened bonding ceremony Velos couldn't help, but think his mother was turning in his grave.
The male had only met his mother a few times before he died of a strange illness. Many had suspected foul play. During those few times growing up that he had met his mother, they had planned Velos' wedding. Now the day had arrived and all of his mother's planning had been for not. It was rather depressing. He didn't let those thoughts ruin his wedding though. His mother was watching him from Haven and he was going to make him proud.
His heart soared when heard Chael say 'I do' and when the Elder dragon said he could kiss Chael he chuckled and smiled.
"Thank you Elder," he said to him. Then he turned back to his mate and kissed him tenderly on the lips.
Their kiss was short, but passionate since several loud roars were heard outside the door to the chamber. With a sigh Velos broke away from the kiss.
"Time to break some hearts," he said softly. Hand in hand he and Chael left the chamber. The dragons outside huffed when they caught the scent of the bonding magic and turned away. Chael was Velos' and couldn't be touched.
Satisfied that his mate was safe Velos scooped the boy up in his arms and rushed back to his room. He sat down on the bed and held his small mate in his lap, purring deeply.
"How do you feel?" he asked. Velos felt different and his pendant was burning against his chest.

“Y-yes,” Chael mewled. He was elated. His body was on fire. There was an indefinable joy bubbling in his chest that he didn’t quite understand. All he knew was that every kiss-- every touch-- had him panting and craving more. The pendant rested warmly against his chest and he kissed along the male’s jaw line affectionately. “I’m so… happy. I’ve never been so happy. I don’t understand why.” he said in awe, running small fingers through the male’s hair.
He was unaware that he had found his match in the prince. The fact that they were a fated match AND now mates would probably double their bond. He tucked his face into his mate’s neck, flushing as that heat washed over him again. “Nnn…” he mewled cutely, parting his thighs with a heavy blush as he gazed up at Velos with large blue eyes. “Does this always happen… when to Dragon’s are mated? I feel… so safe and content.”
It was something he had never experienced before. He knew nothing could harm him near his mate. He also knew that he would need to soon discover his own heritage. There was a new craving stirring within him. He wanted to explore, to learn how to at least fly straight, and… The image of hatchlings kept popping up in his mind against his will.

Velos chuckled and nuzzled his affectionate new mate. He was so small, the need to protect him from harm seemed to have at least doubled since they had become mates. Seeing him part his thighs and make that cute sound tempted Velos to take him then. The boy was going back into heat.
"Yes, once mated dragons feel that way, it means the bond is strong and healthy. I suggest you keep those little legs together. You have a lot to learn. Your first lesson: restraint," he said gently but firmly.
Chael's body and scent alone held a lot of power over Velos and other male dragons. As cute as the boy was, it was important he learned how to control himself especially when he was in heat like now. Very gently he closed Chael's legs. He had no intenion of breeding the boy until he had learned how to fly, his heritage, and how to care for young. The rest could come later as they lived together.
Velos was not a gentle teacher, but he would try his best with Chael. "Now then. Would you like to have your first flying lesson?" he asked, a playful grin on his face.

It was like a blow to the face to be told to close his thighs. Chael’s heat was strong and the need for his mate was causing his entire body to throb. He mewled softly in frustration but forced himself to calm down, hating the feeling of having his pleas rejected by his dominant. He felt… lonely. Was he the only one that wanted to mate? However, after a few seconds he managed to regain some self control, nodding slowly and hesitantly at the proposition.
He DID want to learn how to fly. It was shameful to stumble through the air like a child. He sat up, knowing that being beneath Velos’ powerful body would only bring back the need to mate and if the other did not wish for it he did not want to be the only one hot and bothered. “Y-yes. I would like that very much,” he whispered breathlessly, looking away with a light blush on his cheeks.
He slipped off the bed and stood on shaky legs. Transforming into his dragon form helped him fully control the heat. He spread his wings and stretched them cutely, showing he was ready to learn.

The scent of his mate in heat and his obvious disappoinment that he wouldn't mate with him yet hurt him. He wanted to breed badly to become one, but he at least needed to get Chael flying straight in the air. Once he was pregnant he would become to heavy to become airborne and the strain would be bad for both him and the young he would be carrying. This was part of Velos' instint to protect Chael.
He smiled when he saw Chael cutely displaying his readiness to learn how to fly. He changed into his dragon form and nuzzled him.
"After your lesson, would you........like to mate?" he asked feeling unusually embarrassed. He did however need Chael's consent to breed with him, so asking him was necessary.

Chael couldn’t resist giving a pleased purr when his mate nuzzled. However, he blinked in surprise at the proposition about mating after. He chuckled playfully and licked the male’s cheek. “We’ll just have to wait and see. I’m not quite in the mood anymore,” he teased, moving swiftly away from the male and to the cave entrance. Blue eyes glinted with pleasure as he looked back at his mate. “Well, come on then. I’m ready to learn.”
Flying proved to eventually come naturally to Chael. It wasn’t long before he learned how to balance himself out in the air. The only problem? He discovered he liked to fly fast-- really fast. In fact, he flew at speeds passing dragons found appalling. A few even stopped to watch the beautiful white dragons dart across the sky. It was a disappointment for many males when the small dragon landed near his mate and nuzzled him submissively. Speed, beauty, and rarity.
Where had this alabaster dream COME from?
It was as Chael was flying side by side with his mate that he noticed a group of small dragons playing what seemed to be a game of tag. There was a silver one, a brown one, and a black and white one. “They are so tiny,” he said softly, giggling as one froze midair to watch the prince and his mate pass. “I really do hope that my red and your white won’t combine to make our child pink. Why does everyone stare at us?”

Velos stared after him in shock for a moment before he gave and amused huff and followed after him. The teasing little devil! He couldn't bring himself to be mad when those blue eyes looked back at him. Sighing softly he followed after him.
He was glad that Chael learned how to fly fast and was proud of the speed that he could soar through the sky. As the rare beauty landed beside him once more he purred contently. His mate. No one else's.
Flying side by side he looked down at the little ones and chuckled. Honestly who wouldn't stare? He was flying next to the most beautiful and rare of all dragons.
"They stare because alabaster dragons are rare. There's only ever two in existence at the same time. Those hatchlings are only about five years old judging by their size. Seeing you is an amazing thing. As for a pink child I think it would be cute," he said.
They soared over a pond and Velos got an idea. "Let me show you what everyone is staring at," he said. He flew down to the pond and landed beside it. He looked up at Chael and waited for him to land beside him before speaking again.
"Take a look," he said. The water of the pond was still and reflected the trees on its banks like a mirror.

Chael blinked curiously at his mate as they landed by the pond. The water seemed to reflect everything around it-- cool and blue. He peeked over the edge of the land and looked down at his reflection. What he saw made him gasp in shock. He was beautiful. There was no other word to describe his dragon form. White scales glistened like peals in the sun. Awe struck him for several moments before he looked up at his mate with big eyes.
“If only I was so pretty in my human form,” he said playfully, still a bit breathless. He was, indeed, smaller than Velos and his face appeared more soft and gentle. He purred sweetly and nuzzled the male affectionately. However, just as he was preparing to sunbathe with his mate, a loud cry came from the distance.
“Fear not, my darling angel! Your loving Prince Verdund has come to rescue you!” A deep self-involved voice trilled. He could hear the clambering of hoof beats in the distance as the man charged on his trusty steed towards the dragon stronghold. Chael ducked might have flushed bright pink if he were in his human form.
“Gods, what the hell is that moron doing,” he mumbled, shaking his head in disbelief. He glanced at his mate and licked the male’s cheek. “No charring anyone. I’m going to go cut him off before he gets himself hurt.” With that, he flew off in the direction the Prince’s voice had come from. A gray dragon, curious of what was occurring, was not too shy to glide down beside him now that Velos’ wasn’t around. “If you’re so curious, make yourself useful and get me some robes so I can speak to the human in my other form.”
The dragon, surprised by the order, nodded and went to obey. After all, Chael WAS Velos’ mate. When the blond finally landed he had a robe to pull around himself the moment he changed. He had managed to stop right in Verdund’s path and the man was quick to pull his steed to a stop. “Chael, my dear, you have come to meet your rescuer!” the muscular man cried, yanking the boy onto his horse and proceeding to cover his neck with adoring kisses.
Chael flushed and pushed at the man’s chest. No doubt Velos would be angry to smell another male on him. “Not at all. I came to stop your charging before the guard dragons saw you as a threat. I’m quite happy.”

Velos chuckled softly at his mate's reaction to his reflection. He rolled is eyes at the male's teasing and licked his cheek. Then he settled down and stretched out on the ground to sunbathe. With his head resting on his front legs, he waited for Chael to join him. Velos closed his eyes and growled. The idiot Prince had come. Raising his head, he opened his eyes and started to get to his feet. He was fully intent on barbaquing the annoying human. Chael's words and the lick on his cheek stopped him and he sat back down grudgingly, respecting his mate's wishes.
One of the guard dragons looked over at where the Verdund and Chael were by chance. From where the dragon was standing it looked like the human was trying to kidnap the struggling Chael. Growling at what he percieved as a threat to Velos' mate he called a few more guards to him and they set off to 'save' their prince's mate.
As he sat there glowering at the water of the pond he saw the reflections of some guards flying in the direction of the human prince and his mate. He called one down and asked what was wrong. The guard said that a human was trying to kidnap Velos' mate. Velos first felt a flash of fury and then fear and worry. He let out a growl and was about to join in stopping the kidnapping when he realized what would happen if the guards got to Prince Verdund. They wouldn't stop at charring him. There wouldn't be anything left of his body. He sighed and ordered the guard to go back, he would take care of the matter himself. The guard obediently left and Velos took to the air quickly. He still had to stop the other dragons.
Miraculously he reached the two before the guards arrived. Though what he saw made him see red. Verdund was kissing his mate!!! He let out a dangerous growl, guards forgotten, and advanced on the Prince.
"You, let go of my mate now," he hissed. He was pissed off. Still in dragon form he carefully snatched his mate from the foolish human. The Verdund's scent on Chael only increased his anger. When the guard dragons arrived and saw how close to loosing it Velos was they beat a hasty retreat. Velos could defiently take care of his mate and they didn't want to be in the line of fire when their prince finally lost control.
Velos licked Chael once before putting the boy down behind him. Then he turned back to the object of his anger. "Leave now or I burn you alive," he snarled.

Chael trotted to the front of Velos and stroked his mate’s snout soothingly. “Shh. Calm down, my mate. He meant no harm,” he purred soothingly. He giggled and looked up at a very irritated and confused Prince Verdund. “Your highness, I am quite pleased where I am as I said before. Velos is very good to me and I have every intention of staying with him. Though it was very noble of you to come to my rescue with such perilous odds. I do truly appreciate it.”
“Chael, my darling, this creature has infected you with its madness,” Verdund cried dramatically. “To think I lose you to a dragon. If anyone I though it would be that damnable elf. One creature steals your first kiss from me and now another your hand in marriage!” The human was obviously fluctuating between exasperated and upset.
Chael, on the other hand, was resisting the urge to smack his forehead. He just HAD to bring up the stupid kiss. Now he would need to undergo questioning from a possessive mate.
“I’m so sorry for your troubles. You traveled far, I’m sure. It must be at least two days journey on horseback. Surely, we can set you up with a place to sleep for the night.” he said softly, giving his husband a hopeful look while mentally passing him the words ‘please let him have a night in a normal bed. I feel so guilty.’

Velos nuzzled up against Chael and started to calm down at his touch and his soothing words. He was happy to hear that Chael was happy with him although it was obvious. It was nice to hear it spoken aloud though. A deep purring was starting in his chest when he heard the words 'elf' and 'first kiss'. He stopped purring and growled a little. Some other man had taken his mate's first kiss? And it had been and elf? He wanted to start questioning his little mate now, but present company stopped him. Also Chael was speaking again. He loved hearing the white dragon's sweet voice.
He sighed at the hopeful look and the request of letting the prince stay the night and to give him a normal bed. He changed into his human form and embraced Chael gently, though there was definitely a possessive air to the way he was holding him.
He sighed again before he replied. "Very well he can stay the night. Though if he tries to take you in the middle of the night I'm roasting him," he said a hint of a growl in his voice as he said the last part.

The Prince visibly scowled when Velos took his mate into his arms. The envy was as clear as day, especially when the boy wrapped his small arms around the scarlet dragon’s neck and kissed him tenderly and fleetingly. “I can assure you I will respect my beautiful angel’s wishes if it is YOU he wants,” the prince grumbled, sliding off his horse. Chael giggled, relieved to lead the idiot prince to a low-lying cave where he could eat and rest for the night. The guards were warned of the accommodations so they would not pester Verdund. “Where is your cave?” The prince questioned curiously.
“The highest one,” Chael said smoothly, making the human’s jaw drop with surprise and irritation at the distance between them. He smiled gently at the man and took his mate’s hand, following him out of the cave obediently. The moment they were back in their cave, he knew the questions were going to start bombarding him. He yawned, flopped on the bed, and prepared to soothe his possessive mate.
His instincts seemed to tell him that this would not be an unusual occurrence. Dragons were extremely possessive creatures, especially when it came to their mates. Dominant, in particular, were known for their aggressive and jealous nature.
