Chapter 559: Reece – Holding Onto My Little Bunny Part 1 (VOLUME 3)

~~

Reece

~~

I carried my Little Bunny in my arms all the way through the communal space of the residence. I could feel the eyes of everyone else on us as I silently left them all behind and went up the stairs with her in my arms. They were all fine and no one was likely to die tonight so they didn't need to worry.

I wasn't  afraid that Trinity was going to die or anything like that. But I was worried that she was going to disappear on me. That somehow, she was going to leave me and I would never be able to find her again. I don't know why I was feeling this, it was just something that was there, sitting like a rock in my stomach and causing a painful ache in my heart with every beat. I can't live without her. I just can't let her go.

Once I was at the top of the stairs, I went straight into our room and to the bathroom. I knew that she would want a shower, something to relax her. Not to mention, she was shaking just a little bit. It was almost like her body was slightly in shock from everything that had happened. And that slight trembling accompanied a slight chill to her skin. A hot bath would be enough to help calm her a little bit, at least I could hope that it would.

I held her against me as long as I could, but I needed to sit her down so that I could start to fill the tub. That was when I finally put her on the marble countertop and went to turn the water on. Once it was the right temperature, I let it fill up while I returned to my mate who had been watching me.

"Why did you decide on a bath, Reece?" She looked like she hadn't understood why I did it.

"I could tell that you needed one. You need to relax and you're cold. I want to take care of you." I gave her a soft smile, trying not to show her how worried that I was about her leaving me.

"You were right, I really could use one right now. Are you going to take it with me?" She asked as she reached for my shirt. I could tell that she didn't want to be alone, but the mood was not at all romantic or intimate. This was just us showing our love for each other.

"Yes, I will be with you. I don't want to leave your side at all. So, if you don't mind, I want to bathe with you."

"Reece?" She looked at me confused. I think she was worried about the intensity of my words and the sadness in my voice. I really didn't want to worry her at all, but I was having so much trouble keeping everything to myself.

"Come on, Little Bunny, let's get these clothes off of you. The bath is almost done filling up, so you need to get in soon." I didn't say anything else for the moment. I didn't want to worry her anymore. I needed to control my emotions better. I needed to do better for her.

Silently, I started to pull her clothes off of her. I started with her jeans for some reason. I guess to avoid looking at the marks that I knew were going to be different. Once they were off, along with her shoes, I started to lift her shirt up and over her head. I wanted to get her into the tub right away, even though we still have a little bit before it was done; tubs this large took a really long time to finish filling up.

The moment that I lifted my Little Bunny's shirt I noticed something else that was different about her. All of the marks that she had on her collarbone, chest, and shoulders were gone. All of them. All the marks from the Goddesses and the God were no longer there. The mate mark that I had given her, the one that had changed several times already, had changed once again.

That mate mark was now just an elaborate and elegant looking letter 'R' that looked like someone skilled at calligraphy had given her a tattoo on her neck. It was black and in a circle like most mate marks were. I could only hope that the 'R' meant Reece, which would also mean that I was able to stay with her.

All of the other marks I had come to know and love all over her body, all the ones that I was so used to were no longer there. I immediately missed them, wishing to see them again. I guess you don't need blessings from Gods and Goddesses when you yourself are in fact a Goddess. That made sense to me at least.

There was something else, though. I noticed in the mirror that there was a mark that never used to be there. A new one right there on her back. It was done in a very dark shade of gray and in the shape of a trinity symbol. It even had a circle around it, like the one that we often used for official royal business. It also looked like another tattoo that had been beautifully done on her skin. There was nothing else, just those two marks.

She went from having so many marks, several different ones, to having only this one mark. It wasn't small though. It was quite big compared to all the others. It was there between her shoulder blades and took up the entire space. If it had actually been a real tattoo, it would have taken a long time to finish it compared to the other smaller marks.

"Your marks." I said as I ran a hand over her back.

"They're gone now, aren't they?" She sounded sad, as if to not have them made her feel empty or something.

"The ones that you did have are gone, yes. But you do have another mark. The mate mark, here, changed." I told her as I rested my hand against her neck. "And you have another mark here." I said as I placed both of my hands on the mark that was there on her back.

"A new mark?" She didn't sound all that concerned or worried about there being a new mark. "What does it look like?" When she lifted her head and our eyes met, I saw that she had tears threatening to spill down her cheeks.

"It's a trinity symbol. It's dark gray and has a circle around its outer loops."

"Just the one, and it's not even colorful. What about the mate mark?" Her voice was flat as she lowered her head until she could rest it against my chest.

"Black circle with an elaborate letter 'R' in it."

"Well, I guess I am no longer an overly tattooed rainbow freak." She tried to laugh but it ended up coming out in a sob.

"Trinity?" I didn't know what to do at the moment.. I didn't even know why she was crying. What was I supposed to do right now?
