Selkie: A Narrative Fiction

He had been unsure of the depth of his feelings towards this sassy, spunky, independent woman, but now without a doubt, she was the female meant for him. There would be no denying the Selkie’s lifemate bond for him. Adaira being human did cause a ripple of concern for him. For a Selkie, it was forever, for a human it wasn’t quite the same effect. Even for a Selkie, a lifemate was hard to find. Selkie’s enjoyed sex with others of their kind and humans alike. Selkies are known for their sexual talents and prowess in pleasing others. But, once a Selkie found it’s lifemate they did not wander from their mate, to remain faithful until death. He wondered if Adaira would want to share her life with a Selkie. His life without
Adaira would not be complete; his days would go on but, he would never experience true happiness without his lifemate. Her head tilted back to give him a clear view of her lovely deep emerald eyes. Eyes that held questions, which needed answers. She needed to understand they were now bonded lifemates or at least he was bonded. He still hadn’t thought much about the chance of a true bond until he felt the fusion of their essence in their shared sex, which created an unbreakable bond. He’d sex many times with multiple women through his long life, and no bond had come close to happening. To say he was surprised was a course an understatement. “Mo nighean mhaiseach, we need to talk before ye rush off to yer work shift.” “First off this must be important, you started off with the Gaelic again. How can you be serious, so early in the morning after we shared such an incredible night? And by the way, what is mo nighean something or other?” “It means, my beautiful girl or lass.” “Flattery will only take you so far Mr. Selkie. What is so important that you want to be a buzzkill?” "Funny you should bring up the Selkie thing, I need to explain to you something I only became aware of last night." “What!
Now you’re scaring me. Just, spit out what you need to say, I’d rather you not candy coat a problem.” “Ye know how ye mention last night was incredible? Weel, as a result of Selkie magic I am now bonded to ye, which is the short and simple version.” “What the hell? Bonded? Why would you use your magic on me?” “First off, I didn’t use magic, it used me. When our race happens to be with the person meant to be our lifemate it will happen on its own, all it took was our life essence to mix.” “What the fuck, I knew we should have used a condom, your little swimmers is what you’re talking about correct?” “Aye, life essence or swimmers as yer calling them.” “You promised not to be me pregnant and said you had no disease. So why would you take a chance with your so called life essence mixing with mine?” “A Selkie’s mind can control their life force to prevent in impregnating a female, but there is no controlling the bond of a lifemate when our essence mingled. In all my one hundred and twenty years of my existence, this has never happened to me. Above all else, Selkies don’t catch or carry any human disease” “What? This keeps getting better and better. Did you say your one hundred and twenty fucking years
old?” “Aye, I would have thought yer sister might have mentioned Selkies live to over four hundred years. My brother Kendrick’s one hundred and thirty-sixth birthday is coming up soon. You know ye seem to swear more when yer stressed lass.” “I wonder why…? Don’t answer that it was a rhetorical question, if you think this is a lot, don’t piss me off. Okay, I will just learn to deal with this, but what does it all mean to us?” “Weel, there is an upside to all this, a perk so to say. Because we will continue to have sex as long as we’re together, yer aging process will come to a standstill.
