Fated is overrated

Lola POV

** Friday **

The last week with Nick was pure bliss, we have spent every night together since last Sunday. It feels surprisingly good to have lowered the walls around my heart for him. W

ith Nick, I'm not afraid of getting hurt anymore, I just know he wouldn't. Even if he were to find his second chance mate, I am positive he would at least be very respectful towards me, whichever way it would turn out.

For the first time in my life I want to be with someone, and I find myself thinking about the future a lot in the past day. I have never even wanted a mate and thus had never even thought about possibly marking someone and having pups one day, but I find myself thinking about it now.

The only reason he hasn't marked me yet is that I am unsure of what it would do to my mates, since they haven't accepted the rejection yet. And although they are total *ssholes, I don't wish them to be dead.

If anything, I couldn't do that to their parents and the kingdom. But, my thoughtfulness has a validity date, and it is expiring soon. So, today they will have a last chance to accept my rejection. I am going to tell them that Nick is going to mark me today, regardless if they accept or not. If they still choose not to, that is on them.

I have also heard back from Drake, or as I should now refer to him as my father I guess. The DNA results came back and confirmed he is my father, making Damon my brother.

I'm still a bit overwhelmed with finally having family members again. I didn't know how to feel about it at first, but Drake and Damon have both been really thoughtful and kind to me.

And Nick has been really supportive, as always. They have invited me to come live in the dragon kingdom with them, but I have yet to discuss this with Nick, and he is my #1 priority.

As he would be a wolf among dragons, I could understand him if he wouldn't want to move there. And if he doesn't, I won't either. I have come to realize I actually love him.

I love him with all of my heart and I refuse to let him go for anything, even my long-lost family. Of course I would still visit them regularly, which I have yet to do, but am planning to do next weekend.

I quit my job earlier this week as well. I don't need the money, and I would like to spend more of my time with my newfound family and Nick. Finally, everything is coming together in my life and I am finally genuinely happy.

The only thing still on my to do list is getting some answers about our powers. My girls and I have unlocked some already, but there should be more we can do, according to Liberty.

I am pretty content already with what we have unlocked so far though. Controlling all elements is already about the deadliest power one can have, as everything consists of the elements.

But, Liberty insists there is more to be discovered. This is why we need access to damn books so badly. Speaking of which, today is the day I am fighting that wench, and getting the access to my precious books. Not to mention the much needed medical attention for Nick.

Although that is great news, I am not looking forward to seeing the 2 idi*ts again and having to talk to them about accepting my rejection once again.

It's clear to me that they would rather get their egos stroked by some random women than spend time with their mate, so why they are so unwilling to accept my rejection is beyond me. And quite frankly, it thoroughly pisses me off.

Nick is coming with me today and although he would never admit it, he is nervous about the whole ordeal. Nick is a regular wolf, and he is showing up at the royal palace with the fated mate of the Lycan princes in his arms. I have told him about me, Liberty and Justice's powers, and that we would die protecting him.

But he has never seen us using our full potential, so I can imagine he would be nervous as hell. Not just about twatwaffle 1 & 2, but also about me fighting a royal beta blooded Lycan.

I don't think he realizes that she doesn't stand a chance in hell with me. I am even planning on withholding from shifting at all, just to show I can, and to warn others not to f*ck with me.

I am still lying in bed with Nick's arms wrapped tightly around my waist, unwilling to get up. Every night for the past week he has been holding onto me for dear life even in his sleep, it's so cute.

As if he never wants to let me go. Every morning I wake up before he does, and I just stare at his beautiful face until he wakes up. And every morning he wakes up with a beaming smile. Like I said - it has been pure bliss! The only downside being that his health still isn't doing any better.

In fact, it seems to be getting worse. He still tries to hide the extent of his pains from me, but I notice how he is suffering. All the more reason for the challenge of today, as my "prize for winning" contains a pack hospital treatment for him. "Good morning handsome"

I smile when his eyes flutter open. "Good morning beautiful" he answers in his hoarse morning voice, while he cups my cheeks with his hands and strokes them with his thumbs. He leans in and places a soft, gentle kiss on my lips, and I wrap my hands around his neck to pull him closer."

I love you Nick. I love you so much. Sorry it took me so long to realize that". "Don't be. I'd wait another century for you. You are the love of my life" he speaks softly, while rubbing his nose against mine. When his eyes lock onto mine, I can't help but kiss him again. This time more urgently, more hungrily.
