Chapter 136 - Should I Say It Or Not

Caleb took a deep breath and walked over to him, he held out his hand hoping he would accept his first contact, the young man looked at his hand and finally shook it, he seemed confused, Caleb introduced himself : "My name is Caleb, I am the Master's brother of the girl you are going to face, what's your name kid ?"

The young man blushed and withdrew his hand quickly, he did not understand what was happening, why this man had such an effect on him, he answered him even if he did not understand why he had taken the trouble to come and introduce himself, because after this fight he would probably never see each other again : "I'm Daniel sir, this girl is downright exceptional ... is she really just level six ?"

Caleb replied : "Ya she is only level six but don't be fool by that, we are all training her and trust me on that, she is really exceptional ... Are you all alone ? Is there no one to stop the fight for you if it gets too dangerous ?"

Daniel looked at him and confessed : "I'm alone sir, I'm an independent and lonely fighter."

Caleb didn't know if he should be celebrating or afraid that his little lone wolf wouldn't accept him, he asked him : "No family ?"

Daniel continued to answer him, after all he had nothing to hide : "They died sir, three years ago, since then I try to become stronger to be able to avenge them, it is my only aim."

Interesting, thought Caleb, that was good for him he decided to break the distance Daniel was trying to create by calling him sir, he came closer to him and grabbed his shirt collar, he pulled him closer and said : "Three things kid, the first one, I would step in if your life is in danger, the second one, if you ever piss off that girl and find yourself helpless on your knees use your demonic energy to break that pressure, third one, if you want to become stronger you can stay with us, we are a rather unusual group, but you won't find better experts than us."

Caleb leaned forward but he didn't want to scare him more than that, so he whispered right in his ear : "Think about what I just told you Daniel."

Caleb stepped back and released his collar reluctantly, why did he have to be tied to a kid this was really frustrating, he put his hand on his cheek and Daniel froze, his eyes widening, Caleb sighed and said : "Relax kid, I'm not going to eat you."

At least not yet, thought Caleb, a smile appeared on his face and he took the time to caress Daniel's lower lip with his thumb, he blushed but didn't move, he really didn't push him away it was already a good start, he told him before leaving : "Her fighting technique is particular, you'll have to quickly adapt and try to find solutions, I can't wait to see you fight even if it's against someone I consider as my family, go for it and don't worry too much, with my brothers we will stop the fight if one of your lives is at stake."

Caleb withdrew his hand and turned to go towards the others when Daniel caught him by the arm : "Wait !"

Daniel didn't understand all the emotions that assailed him, he didn't know this man but his instinct told him that he could trust him, so he asked : "How do you know about my demonic energy and what happened when you first looked at me, that was a very weird feeling."

Caleb smiled bitterly, a very weird feeling, how was he going to tell him that they were already bond now, and that whatever will happen, if Caleb wanted to, he could find him anywhere just by a thought, that was too creepy to be said out loud, so he chose to elude : "Well Daniel, your first question it's an easy one, the girl that you will fight has a wife who is the most powerful mage I have ever seen, and yesterday she looked inside you from the bleachers and she saw that you had two powerful energy reserves, one is from demon warrior and the other from the imperial phoenixes, as for your second question, don't think about it right now, i will explain that to you later, okay ?"

Caleb tried to leave again but Daniel tightened his grip on his arm, he said : "Tell me now, or i won't be able to focus during the fight."

Caleb looked at him in the eye and he still wasn't sure if it was a good idea, he said : "Kid, I m right there, and i promise to you that i won't leave after the fight, trust me, you don't wanna know it now."

Daniel was quite stubborn so he asked him again : "I m not a kid anymore, just tell me okay."

Caleb laughed and got closer to him again, he said to him, his lips almost touching his : "Not a kid anymore um, i hope that the one who were a powerful demon in your family told you about the sacred bond, did he ?"

Daniel was stunned, why was he talking about the sacred bond, he put his other hand on his chest and pushed him a little bit, Caleb was too close from his lips : "Ya, my father told me about the sacred bond, but he said to me that it was even rarer than to find his soulmate."

Caleb nodded to him : "Ya, you are right, this is even rarer than soulmate and it's a much more powerful bond."

Caleb decided to tell him everything as he wanted but that will come with a price to pay : "You are my sacred bond, whatever will happen from now on, you are mine, if you want to run away, i will find you back.

Don't worry though, as you're still a kid i will wait for you to be ready to get some taste of you, sex is not necessary to activate the bond, our eye contact was enough, as i already said, you are forever mine."

Daniel let go of Caleb's arm, but his hand remained on his chest, he could feel Caleb's heartbeat, they were slow and powerful, Daniel struggled to realize what had just happened, he repeated to be sure : "I am your sacred bond ... Are you sure Caleb ?"

Caleb smirked, the kid seemed to be taking it better than he expected : "Absolutely sure Daniel."

It was time to claim his due and make this kid understand that next time he shouldn't be so stubborn.
