Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]-Chapter 289: Blaze

Chapter 289

Blaze’s pov.

There had been a void within me in the last six months.

It had been deep and bottomless. It also reminded me of the same one I lost my mate in.

Or so I thought.

I glanced at him, he had his hands wrapped around me right now and his face tucked in my throat. He felt perfect against me, and I was certain there was nothing more perfect than this in the entire world. I couldn’t stop myself from leaning down to take a quick abode of his scent again, just to remind myself that he was real and that I wasn’t hallucinating.

In the past six months, I had hallucinated so much that I sometimes found it hard to differentiate imaginations from reality. The last six months had been nothing but torture to me.

After that day whereby I had transformed into my current form, I had thought he had died. That was why I ended up transforming into... this. Even though I had no idea I had this form in me the entire time.

Since I arrived at this mountain, it wasn’t like I forgot how to shift back to my human form, I just hadn’t been interested in becoming human again since the one person I loved was no longer alive.

The fact that he was here right now was still hard for me to believe but when he sighed against me and tightened his hold, I was reminded that indeed, this wasn’t something I made up in my head, this was actually happening.

I threw my head back and let out a loud roar, letting fire spill out from my throat into the sky. The roar I let out was so loud and I knew it shook the entire mountain. This was a form of celebration for me, I was celebrating the return of my other half and the only one who had made me feel sane in six months.

I had forgotten what he spent like in the last six months but now that he was here, as I kept taking in my fill of his scent, I was reminded of his exact scent and how I had been extremely obsessed with it.

I hadn’t even realized that I had forgotten most of my human memories, the only few ones I still remembered were happy and significant moments I spent with my mate. But now that I was holding him in my arms, all the rest of my memories were slowly returning back to me.

I let out a long exhale and flew across the mountain with my mate in my arms. This was the first time I was flying across it. After the first time I arrived here, I didn’t leave that cave ever since.

Down below, I sighted a few familiar faces staring up at us as I flew past but I didn’t stop to take a closer look at them.

They could wait, but my mate couldn’t.

I was currently following a pull in my chest, the pull urged me to fly higher till I was behind the clouds. My mate clung to me tightly as I flew, he was a tiny thing in my arms in my current form and I replayed the slap he gave me back in the cave.

The hurt I had caused him had been obvious on his face when he broke down in my arms and I felt extremely shitty, but I didn’t want to let myself dwell on that for now. If I had known my mate had been alive this whole time, I wouldn’t have been wasting my time away in that cold cave. I had known nothing but coldness in that cave, I might be a fire demon but I still felt immense coldness within me throughout the months I spent in pain thinking I had lost my mate.

When I finally found what I had been looking for through cracks in the clouds, I dived through with my wings flapping strongly behind me. My mate squealed in my arms and the sound sent a rush of emotions through my heart. I had missed that so fucking much. I had missed him so, so much...

The lake was glassy looking and blue in color, and the garden around it was so fucking beautiful. A waterfall was at the left side of the lake, and butterflies were flapping around in the air as I gently set my mate down. His eyes were blown wide as he glanced around, eyes falling open.

"This is..." he began and I nodded grimly.

"The same location where we both dreamed of." I responded and he gasped, fully turning around to take a good look at the atmosphere. I didn’t know why we were here right now, something had just kept pulling me to this location and here we are right now.

"There’s a connection with magic here, I can feel it. It’s so... strong..." he whispered after a few moments before turning back to face me, eyes taking over my body to settle on my face.

Right. I needed to change back to human.

I wasn’t even sure I knew how to, but I believed it boils down to my mind.

I took his hand and laid them against my chest while he peered up at me, lips parted and eyes wide. His white hair framed his face beautifully and his blue eyes were about to be my undoing right now. In the sunlight right now, I noticed a few things I didn’t, like the fact that there were circles underneath his eyes and the fact that he was skinnier than I remembered.

Did my absence affect him this much? As much as his absence affected me?

I wasn’t sure how to feel about that thought.

I exhaled slowly, watching how my mate’s head couldn’t even come up to my chest right now.

I let my eyes fall close and I searched within me for the human part of myself, finding it hunched at the darkest part of my mind.

I willed it forward in exchange for the form I was currently in, and in the next moment, fire began to swirl around my mate and I in a bright orange but it didn’t hurt our bodies. The fire continued to swirl and grow thicker till I began to shift.

One moment, I was in my demon form, and in the next moment, I was human once again.
