The Damned Princess

From the past few days I have been sleeping wrapped in my mate’s arms and his intoxicating scent, yesterday he was not there so I couldn’t sleep the whole night. My bed still has his scent but it’s not the same, so I got ready early to have breakfast with him.

When I reached his place Ryan and Layla were in the kitchen, I greeted them and went straight to Jay’s room. He was standing in front of his closet, with just a towel wrapped around his waist, and my mouth instantly watered from the sight.

He smiled as soon as he saw me, left his clothes, and walked towards me. He pushed me against the wall and crashed his lips on mine, kissing me hungrily. My hands roamed on his bare muscular shoulders.

He broke the kiss when we were breathless and whispered in my ear “I thought you were going to come to me when done with everything”. He started kissing my neck, nibbling all the way. My head was too mush to form an answer.

He sucked hard just about my collar bone making me moan. “Answer me princess”, he said. “Uh, it was late” I managed to say. “So”, “s-so I didn’t want to disturb you” I whispered. He stopped and looked at me, his eyes were clouded with lust.

He grabbed both my arms and pinned them above my head, “shouldn’t you have checked with me” he asked. I opened my mouth to answer him but he kissed me again. He grabbed my waist and picked me up and I wrapped my legs around him.

He carried me to his bed and put me down with him on top of me. “If you don’t stop me right now Amore, I’ll not be able to control myself” he whispered. I was too lost in him and wanted him equally bad, I couldn’t stop myself from saying “I don’t want you to stop”.

He looked at me with this darkened look in his eyes, his lips were on mine before I could blink. He tore off my top and I realized that I still have some scars on my body. I tightly shut my eyes because I didn’t want to know how he would feel about this.

He paused for a moment and then kissed all the scars I have and whispered “you’re the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen Amore and these scars add to your beauty”. Goddess took a lot of time to bring me to my mate but I’ll wait a hundred more years if he is the one.

He started leaving a hot trail of kisses on my neck and to my chest. One of his hand cupped my breast and others slowly pushed one of the straps down with his mouth following. I pushed him and turned us around and got on top of him. I kissed his lips again because I never get enough of it. I kissed his neck and moved lower, I sucked on his skin where I wanted to mark him.

When our eyes met, he said, “babe, your eyes”. I immediately realized what he meant and got off him and stepped away. “Hey, what are you doing” he pouted. I looked around for my top but it was torn, “you could have just taken it off” I said and picked up my top. “You weren’t complaining a minute ago” he said.

He got up and threw a tee shirt at me. I took it and went to his bathroom and told him “please get dressed”. I looked into the mirror, my face was flushed and my eyes were red, my lycan was taking control over me. I washed my face with cold water but it was hard to calm myself when everything smelled like my mate.

After a few minutes of breathing exercises, I went out. “What happened Amore”, Jay asked. He was dressed now, in his signature black leather jacket and ripped denim, goddess he’s hot. “Sit down please, I’ve to tell you something”, I said.

“Do you remember Cris said something about marking yesterday”, he nodded yes. I cleared my throat again, “so”, “say it, Amore I don’t think anything can surprise me at this point” he said in a bored tone. “Um, okay, usually what happens is, when a lycan mates for the first time, you know with their mate” I gestured towards him.

He smirked, “mates as in”, I glared at him, I know he was doing this purposely “it’s serious Jay”. “Okay, sorry. I won’t say anything now”. I continued “when we mate, as in when we have sex for the first time, we mark our mate, which makes them ours forever, like marriage in your world. We just don’t divorce; our forever is forever”.

He looked slightly alarmed “okay, so what’s marking and how do you do it”, he asked. I took a deep breath, “since I’m a lycan, so my lycan will bite you which will leave a permanent mark on your body and it is our way of claiming what is ours”. His eyes were widened now, goddess just don’t make him freak out.

“When I mark you, my venom will turn you into a lycan too”, I said. He opened his mouth to say something but shut it again, he repeated this many times but did not say anything. I sat next to him and turned his face towards me, “love listen to me, I promise you I’ll not do it until you want me to”.

“I know I lost control today but it won’t ever happen again, okay”. He didn’t say anything for a few more minutes, I sat quietly with him, holding his hand in mine. “There’s no pressure on you Jay” I whispered, I was kind of scared now.

“I don’t know what to say, Amore it’s really huge, my whole life will change”, he said. “I know but you have to understand, I’ll never force anything on you”, I said. “I know but I need some time to process this information”, he said and I nodded in response.

Becky, V, and I are currently hanging out in my room, I don’t know what they are talking about because my mind wouldn’t stray from what happened when I told Jay about the whole mating deal. I know it is a big thing but I told him a thousand times that I would never mark him without his permission.

He said he had plans with his friends which will give him some space to think about all of this as well. So, I made plans with these two. Hopefully, we will also be able to figure things out about V and her so-called mate.

V snapped her fingers in front of my face, “dude, you’re always with your boyfriend can you at least be here for now” she said and laughed. I rolled my eyes at her, “look who’s talking, you’re the one who’s always with this Daniel”.

“Hey! I’m not” she slapped my arm lightly making me roll my eyes again. “Since we’re talking about boyfriends, V tell us about your guy”, Becky asked. I mentally gave Becky a thumbs up for coming to the point, sooner we are sure about this dude better it is.

“He’s not my guy yet, I mean we hang out together all the time but he has not officially asked me out”, she said. “I’m sure he’ll ask pretty soon”, I said in a bored tone. Becky glared at me, I chose the wrong time for all this.

“But what’s it like between you two, is it like any other guy or does it feel special, you know butterflies and sparks and all” Becky asked again. V blushed, “I think it’s very special to me guys. Every time he’s around, I forget about the whole world and when he’s not with me, he’s all I think about”

“I don’t know if I’m crazy but I feel accrual sparks when he touches me, I thought that’s what they just said in movies, the air around is like charged with electricity always, I know it doesn’t make much sense but it feels like a part of me was missing and I find it in him”. I facepalmed myself, “what” V pouted. Becky smacked me on my head.

“Uh, nothing I just feel bad this dude’s taking my best friend away from me”, I said. She hugged me, “he’s not taking me away from you, you’re my best friend”. I did not know whether to be happy for her or not.

She got the best gift in the world but I am still not sure about her mate. We talked for hours and the more she talked about Daniel; the more we were believing that they are mates. I just hope, our history does not ruin V’s life.

Liam, Becky, and I were having dinner, Jay has still not called or texted me. “Stop pushing your food around the plate Enna” Becky scolded me. I rolled my eyes “I’m one hundred- and sixty-eight-years old Becky and you scold me like I am six”.

“You’ve been like this all day, what happened with Jayson”, she asked. “Nothing big, I just told him about the whole mating thing”. “And”, she said. “And he didn’t react like one would hope”, I said. “It’s okay Enna, he’s a human, it’ll take him to adjust to everything”, Liam said. I nodded back.

“What do we do about V”, Liam asked. “If I kill Daniel right now, she’ll get over him in some time” I shrugged. Becky’s mouth hung open making me and my brother laugh. “What”, she asked. “Oh, my sweet summer child, I’m just joking”, I said.

“It was not funny; we can’t take this away from V”, she said angrily. “I know Becky, I’m just worried. I still don’t have positive feelings about that Pablo dude”. “Who Pablo dude”, Liam asked. “Ugh! Daniel Pablo Rivera were you sleeping when Piero was talking about him” I said, now irritated.

“Don’t get annoyed at me, go call your mate” he rolled his eyes. “Why should I, he should call me”, I said and got up. I washed my plate and went to my room, shouting good night on my way up. I checked my phone for the thousandth time but there was nothing from him.

I spent the whole night tossing and turning around but I couldn’t sleep. I looked at my phone again, it was nine in the morning and there was still no message from him, I hate it. “Enna, come have breakfast” Becky shouted from downstairs.

“I’m still sleeping” I shouted back. I heard footsteps coming up, I put a pillow on my face and then blanket over it, “if you dare to come close to me Liam, I’ll break all your bones one by one and I don’t care if Becky gets mad at me”. “Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed”.

This was not Liam’s voice, I tried to uncover myself but I was so tangled I fell on the floor in the process and my mean mate started laughing, while I sat there pouting, still tangled in my blanket.

He walked towards me, picked me up, and put me on my bed. I was still pouting because I am mad at him. He sat next to me and pulled me to close to him, “is my Amore mad at me”. I nodded yes. “I’m sorry babe, I didn’t mean to upset you” he whispered and kissed my forehead.

There is nothing better in this world than being in your mate’s arms. I hugged him and put my head on his chest. “So, did you think about all that”, I asked. He stroked my back, “I’m still not sure about all of it Amore, I need more time to think about all that”.

I looked at him and asked, “so how come you are here then”. “Because I hate staying away from you”, he said and gave me a soft but passionate kiss which I gladly responded to. “I’m sure you’re not sleeping anymore, breakfast is served” came Becky’s voice making both of us laugh.

I quickly freshened up and we both joined them downstairs for breakfast.
