Ember found the tendrils of darkness leaving his body and starting to surround her. She didn't know what was going to happen, but all of a sudden, she found herself immobile as those dark tendrils held her body in place. Her hands were pinned to the bed as those tendrils gripped her wrists.
She tried to free her wrists but failed. Now she realized how strong she herself must be; the absolute darkness her mate possessed was overpowering.
"Draven?" she mumbled, uncertainty and a little panic in her voice.
In response, Draven leaned his face closer to hers, his dark eyes losing any gentleness. His nose brushed against hers, seemingly ravishing her ragged breathing. The beast wished to dive into her scent as he closed his eyes.
Ember tried to calm herself and let her body relax, closing her eyes. She could sll his true scent, strongest when his beast form was prominent— Green forest and peppermint.
But just then, Ember found sothing wrapping around her ankles, and she knew it was the tendrils of darkness. Her legs were being parted apart slowly, letting Draven settled between them. She tried to free her legs, but just like her writs and all of a her body, she couldn't move a muscle.
Draven looked at her like a predator, making her heart skip a beat despite her being ready to accept the beast. She had told him to not hold back and be his trueself, but she had not expected it would go this way when she would be like a trapped rabbit, waiting to be devoured.
She knew the aning of this look: a strong lust toward his mate, one that knew nothing but mating and making her his.
Her trembling lips opened to say sothing to the darkness, but....
"Ahh...!"
A loud cry left her lips as Draven entered her without warning. Her body, held in place by his darkness, couldn't even move to resist or stand against the pain.
Her eyes shut, her breath stuck in her chest, and lines of tears ford at the corners of her eyes. He watched her, his gaze showing no consideration toward her pain, but it seed to entice him even more.
Seeing her in pain, pain due to mating, seed to make him feel he had his claim on her alone. She was his, and only he could mate with her.
He didn't wait for her to settle or get used to what he did, in fact, he pulled out and did the sa again, ravishing seeing her in pain, facing his way inside her again and again. His darkness not letting her move or get away from him.
All that was left were her painful cries, mixed with his animalistic growls. The entire chamber started to fill with the darkness emitting from him.
Ember's cries quieted down after a long while, replaced by cries of pleasure mixed with the pain caused by his roughness.
The entire night, he let her know what it truly ant when she asked him to let his beast out and what it ant to be the mate of a dragon, who seed to have little consideration while mating with his female.

Ember straight away woke up in the late afternoon next day. When she woke up, Draven was by her side. All dressed like usual, his gaze observing her with a worry, though he knew she was absolutely fine.
Ember stirred in her sleep, having furrowed lines on her forehead in a pain. Her body felt like a broken ss and she felt she might separate each bone of her body if she tried to.
"Are you alright?"
She heard a familiar deep and dignified voice, which carried the tinge of worry in it.
Ember opened her eyes and shivered for a mont, but then seeing those red eyes instead of the dark one, she cald down. But seeing Draven, those mories of the last night started to surface.
How he rcilessly took her again and again. When she wanted him to stop, she had no chance to even tell him to stop. All her throat could let out was cries.
Animal. His beast was like an animal. He loved to do it like the animal way.
Draven observed her and through the bond he could feel that fear inside her.
"It's ," he assured.
"I...I know..." she said, feeling a little embarrassed and thought, 'and I am glad it's you.'
Draven sighed inwardly. He knew his beast had overdone it, but then she was the one to provoke him and call for him.
He caressed her cheek and said, "Now you know, what not to do."
She nodded imdiately. She was not going to call for his beast side out unless her body is stronger like beast females who are ant to bear it with ease. She had truly overestimated her ability to stand against the dangerous and most powerful divine beast.
'Deity of fire, the most powerful being in the three realms?' Ember frowned at herself, 'seems like a joke to now.'
"I will ask Evanthe to prepare a strong healing potion of you...."

"No!" Ember interrupted him. "No need to involve others. I can be fine on my own."
"Are you sure?" he asked again.
"Yes," she said firmly while she thought, 'I don't want to be embarrassed in front of her.'
As if Draven sensed her thoughts, he spoke, "You don't need to be embarrassed in front of her. She herself has a Dragon as her soulmate and mated with him. She knows..."
"I know. But I just don't want to," Ember denied firmly and tried to sat in bed. "Now you go out and send Clio and Reya to help . I want to soak in hot water."
"I can take you sowhere better," he offered.
She offered him a conflicted gaze, only to hear him say again. "Trust . I wanted to take you there long back, but with your unsettled energy core, I was advised against it."
"Alright!"
Draven wrapped her in blanket, held her closer and disappeared from the chamber. Both of the arrived sowhere far at the snowy mountain where vast hot water spring could be seen.
"This place?" she asked.
"Water here helps bodies of supernatural heal quickly if they are hurt and if their energy core is affected by sothing. This water can help it nd to so extent," Draven explained and took her to step inside the water along with him as he removed the blanket around her.
Ember stepped inside the water. The mont that water touched her feet, she could feel so kind of energy started to course through her body.
As both of them settled in the water, subrging their bodies till their chests, Ember who was sitting in his lap, asked. "And why was not I allowed to be here?"
"As this water affected one's core, though it ant to be in a good way, given your broken core, it was advised to keep you away. This is a water magic and you are fire, and we were not sure how it would react with your unstable core. But now its stable, there is no such worry."
Ember rested her head against his shoulder and said, "I can feel the magic in it and it's healing."
"Though this water is healing, are you sure it's the magic of water or your own power that is healing you?" he asked.
She looked at him. "What do you an?"
Draven held her hand and then pricked her palm with his nail, only to draw out blood from it.
"Ah..Draven..."
"Watch it," he said and she was shocked the next mont.
The would healed in a mont as if she was never hurt to begin with.
"How? I don't rember having any self healing abilities," she moved her gaze from her hand to him, full of questions.
"You are now a mate of two powerful beasts, and your core is stable due to the bonds with both your mates, that also an, you share so part of our powers as well. I and Morpheus, both have self healing abilities and now you have them from us as well."
Her eyes widened. "Is it possible?"
He humd.
She let out a sigh of relief and mumbled, "Now I don't have to be worried about getting hurt."
"And, I don't have to worry about after effects of mating."
She offered him a glare.
He chuckled softly and said, "Your body will heal as long as you focus and want it to be healed, until the day this power rge within you entirely like your own and starts healing your body on it's own without you even thinking about it."
"So, until that power is entirely mine, I only have to wish it to heal ?" she asked.
"Yes."
"So why did you bring here when could heal without this magical water?"
"This water expedite the process and helps that magic rge with your body faster," Draven answered. "Whenever any supernatural practice mastering another elent which is not their innate elental power, they co here to get help of this water to make it rge with their core."
Ember understood and said, "No wonder I was not healed by the ti I woke up. Now I feel I am healed," she said happily. "I feel no pain at all."
"That ans we can mate again and again and you don't have to worry about the pain," he said.
She offered him a wary gaze, "You are not thinking of...."
"I am."
"Last night."
"That wan't ."
"I..think.. I haven't healed..yet..."
"I think you have."
"You brought here so you could let heal quickly with the help of this magical water?"
"Guess?"
"You....that worried look on your face was fake..."
"Not really. Now, stop struggling or you will be hurt again."
"You beast..."
Soon her protests died down and she started to enjoy what he was giving her, not rough but in a caring and gentle way this ti.
That healing water spring, beca their place of mating.
