Chapter Six: The world fall’s to pieces

The next morning Brianne stumbled down to breakfast wairing the flannel pajama pants and matching tie that Isabelle loaned her. She had totally forgotten that Maryse’s brother would be there. If she had remembered she would have grabbed a robe.

“Well, good morning, and who might you be.” Came the unfamiliar cheery male voice.

The minute she looked up and saw who the voice belonged to her eye’s widened and her cheeks flushed. It was an older version of Alec except more “rocker/grunge”, rouged looking, taller, blue eye’s and just over all yummy. To her he radiated sex, his very smell made her eye’s darken with lust.

She couldn’t help but think.*God he’s beautiful, and mmm he smell’s so good.*

“Brianne, her names Brianne. But it seems she isn't much of a morning person.” Magnus replied noticing that Brianne wasn’t paying much attention to what was being said.

“Well, it’s nice to meet you Brianne, I’m Devon, Maryse’s younger brother.” Devon extended his hand in greeting but Brianne took no notice of it, she was still staring at him with a confused look.

“gah....” Was all was able to say before she grabbed Magnus and rush into the hall.

“What are you doing, and what the hell was that back in the kitchen.” Magnus asked angrily as Brianne shoved him into her room and started rummaging through the book’s Maryse had given her to read over.

“I don’t know, I need to find it......where did I see it.......THERE.” She shoved a book into his hands and pointed at a paragraph under the heading *Mate’s*.

“Seriously, what are you on about.”

“Just read.”

“How bout you just explain it yourself.”

“Soulmate is a term sometimes used to designate someone with whom one has a feeling of deep and natural affinity, love, intimacy, sexuality, spirituality, and/or compatibility. A related concept is that of the twin flame or twin soul – which is thought to be the ultimate soulmate, the one and only other half of one's soul, for which all souls are driven to find and join. With in a a week of maturity, A mate is needed to strength and control the wilder side of it’s partner. In most pairing’s one is dominate while the other is submissive, but it is also likely that the pair is equally both. In the case of both being dominate and submissive the relationship can be volatile until the pair have completely bonded. Soulmates most often occur in Vampires and Werewolves, once a mate is found the pair will be draw to each other due to the bond that needs to be completed....... The minute I smelt Devon my senses went haywire, All I wanted to do was jump him. And before you say I’m just attracted to him, trust me when I say what I felt was no normal attraction.” She took a deep breath and looked slightly blue after saying all this in one breath.

“So that’s why you were acting so weird, I saw you. You looked feral then confused, then freaked out.”

“Well yeah that’s what I felt, and I’m still freaked out, How the hell am I suppose to be around him now. I can’t just walk up to him and say hey your my mate, but I don’t know if I can control myself around him.”

“Maybe the first interaction in the worse, maybe it caught you by surprise that’s why your senses went haywire. And why can’t you just tell him about being mates?”

“I can’t tell him because I don’t even know him, and he’s a pure shadowhunter, being mates with a mixed breed would probably freak him out..I’M FREAKING OUT. And how do I know that I can trust him, how do I know he wont take advantage of this?”

“You don’t know, but you have to fined out. The longer you wait the worse you’ll get. It can drive you mad. You can’t avoid him forever.”

“Watch me.”

“No, I will not stand by and watch this stupidity.”

“What else am I to do?”

“Get to know him, learn to trust him, I don’t know. But you can’t avoid this.”

“It’s to much, to fast. I can’t handle all of this.”

“Well, maybe as your mate he can help. He’s the one to talk to about all that’s happened.”

“I don’t even know him, I barely just met him.”

“So take a chance and get to know him. I’m not saying you have to tell him today but you will have to tell him soon.”

“HOW!”

“Well for starters we can go back down to breakfast and sit with everyone. You’ll have a chance to talk to him.”

“And what if I go feral, I have no idea what I’m capable of.”

“Well If I sense somethings wrong I’ll drag you out of there and tell everyone it’s a side effect of you capture. Besides what’s the worse that can happen?”

“ I try to eat you on the way out.”

“Trust me I can handle my self.”

“Fine I’ll go back down, but I make no promises.”

“That’s all I ask.”

Once back down in the kitchen they sat at the table with everyone else. The only problem was that the last seat open to Brianne was next to Devon. She shot Magnus a look, looking confident he gave her an encouraging smile, so she sat down and prayed that all went well.

“So, you okay?” Devon asked her when she sat down.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Just a little embarrassed is all.”

“Well don’t be, Maryse told me what happened to you, and it’s only normal that your still freaked out.”

“yeah sure...”

“No seriously, I might not know all that happened and I’m sure no one else does either but no matter what no one comes out of a situation like that and has zero emotional scars.” His voice as soft and low, so that no one but her heard what he said. She felt that she could tell him everything.

“And how do you know that there is more to the story?”

“Your eye’s, they betray you. You look so broken. You hide it well, to those who don’t know any better to look. But to anyone who takes the time to look, and I mean really look. Your sad, lonely and broken. No brave face can hide that.”

“Really. Someone that’s met me a total for 5 minutes has seen all that.” She asked with a skeptical glare.

“Only because I took the time. There’s something about you that makes me want to do that.”

“Do what?”

“Take the time to look and get to know you.”

“Sure you aren’t just seeing thing’s that aren’t there.”

“Maybe I am, but I’m willing to take the time to find out.”

“Why? You just met me.”

“I might of just met you, but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to get o know you.” He said in a low voice that sent shivers down her spine. She needed to distract herself, so she changed the subject.

“Well then, for starters I like bacon, and your hogging it all.” Brianne said with a grin as she reached across him to grab a few pieces, as she did he also went to grab her a few making their hands brush.

It was like her arm was on fire, his touch was like pure ecstasy. Her world was over as she knew it and she didn’t care all she wanted was her mate. And God Dammit she was going to have him.

Before she could think about what she was doing, she pounced on Devon sending them and chair he was sitting in crashing to the floor. She pinned him down and kissed him with such force she was sure her lips would be bruised. To her surprise he was kissing her back with as just as much passion, his hand’s weaving up into her hair. She pulled away and started kissing his neck, she felt her teeth elongate, numbly registered hearing someone yell her name before she bit down hard enough to draw blood. She was licking and sucking on the bite when someone pulled her up and off Devon.

She growled in annoyance and tried to hang on to a dazed Devon. But another pair of hands grabbed a hold of her arms and spun her around. She was facing a furious Magnus who was screaming something at her that she couldn’t understand. Everything was a blur of spinning color now, she felt weak and tired. Her only thought was “Fuck” before all was black.
