The Damned Princess

It’s Christmas eve today and there is a party at Rayn’s place in about three hours. My mate is with him only, helping him with things and I am watching Christmas movies with my brother and his mate. Becky loves to do everything how it should be according to the movies and everything.

Back in the days, we had Epiphany on the 6th of January and it was Christmas in Italy but now even there, celebrations start from December only. Becky wanted to throw a party at our house but the idea itself horrified me and Liam, also we don’t have that many friends to invite.

But to make her happy we are keeping a Christmas dinner tomorrow. Cris and Piero will be coming since Jay is not going to his parents this time so he will also be there. V would not be able to come so Daniel won’t come either, which I don’t mind that much but he will be there for the party today.

Yesterday we went gift shopping, I didn’t tell Jay that I am buying him a gift so that he won’t. It was really hard to pick something for him and I am really nervous to give it to him because this is the first time, I have bought a gift for a guy other than my brother and my father.

This reminded me, “hey Becks”, “yeah” she replied. “When will we exchange gifts, I mean before it was just you forcing us to do all this but this time, we’ve more people”, I asked. “Well, traditionally we’re supposed to do it on the Christmas morning”, she said.

“But we won’t have everybody here in the morning” I added. “We can do it after dinner tomorrow” Liam suggested. “If we would’ve thrown the party at our place, Cris, Piero and Jayson would be, and then we could’ve done it in the morning only” Becky pouted.

“Oh, come on Becks, if we would have thrown a party it would be the same people coming tomorrow for dinner” I groaned. “Whatever, we’ll do the gifts after dinner only and I hope you both have bought me gifts good enough to make up for not making me throw the party”, she said.

I rolled my eyes at her and I am sure my brother did too.

We are leaving in about ten minutes for the party and I am ready. I am wearing a sangria colored velvet short dress. It has full sleeves and the back is totally covered but the front has a low V-neck showing some cleavage.

I did, well-tried to do minimal nude makeup with my hair down in beach curls and wore black heels with it. I went downstairs and Becky also came out at the same time. She was wearing a red bandeau dress, with some lace detailing on it. She looked sexy as always.

She whistled when she saw me making me laugh. “Whistles for you too girl” I winked at her. “Where’s Liam”, I asked. “He’s whining about how our dresses are getting shorter with every party” she rolled her eyes. Liam walked out, “I’m not whining”, he whined.

“I’m just saying it’s a college party and you guys are wearing cocktail dresses” he tried to justify. “We’re princesses’ brother, be glad we’re not wearing ball gowns” I patted on his cheeks making Becky laugh. “Now come on, let’s go”, I said and threw the car keys at him.

We met with Rayn when we reached his house and he told me Jay was outside. I quickly went out to meet him, he was standing just by the door with his friends. Dylan was the first one to see me, “hey! baby girl, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you” he said and walked towards me to give a hug.

My mate grabbed his collar and pulled him back, “she’s not your baby girl, she’s mine” he said making me laugh. When his eyes met mine, something in the air shifted. His eyes swept on me slowly and when they reached back to my eyes, I could see the lust in them for me.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me close and whispered “I want to take you to my room and rip this dress off you and do sinful things to you”, making me shiver. “Dude when did she become yours” Dylan whined and my mate growled, he might not be a true lycan yet but he is almost there.

“Dude seriously when did she become yours” I repeated Dylan’s question to annoy Jay more and stood next to Dylan with my hand on his shoulder. Dylan put his hand on my waist and pulled me closer and I could see the anger bubbling in Jay’s eyes.

“If I were you, honey I’d move that hand away in a flash” I whispered to Dylan. “I know but it’s so much fun to see him like this” he whispered back making me laugh. “Amore, step away right now” Jay ordered but both of us didn’t move, instead I took a sip from Dylan’s beer and winked at him.

“So, you want to play like this babe, fine” he smirked at me and walked in the house. I downed the beer, “if any girl comes close to him, I’ll break your bones Dylan” I told him and ran after Jay. V was also here now with her mate; she saw me and grabbed me for a hug.

She was wearing a red, very short romper dress which was completely backless. “You look hot V; tell me how did your guy react to this dress” I smirked. She rolled her eyes “he’s behaving like a caveman; see he’s still pouting” she pointed towards the corner where Daniel was standing and a few girls were eyeing him like he was their prey.

“Have fun, I’ll go and find Jay” I told her and went towards her mate because I am really in a mood to have fun and annoy people today. “Greetings Princess”, Daniel said and bowed a little as he saw me. I smirked, “so how’s your lycan holding up Pablo, guys are already making moves towards your mate”.

He looked at the guys V was talking to, with annoyance “I hate these humans”, he said. I snickered, he looked at me and smirked “I don’t think you should be this happy princess, looks like your mate has some fan following too” he pointed towards the kitchen area, girls were throwing themselves at my mate.

A low growl left my throat and Daniel laughed; well karma is way too quick when it comes to me. “Don’t be too happy and keep an eye on V, she tends to drink more than she can handle” I told him and he cursed under his breath. I quickly made my way towards my mate.

I tapped on his shoulder and he turned around. He had a beer in one hand and a cigarette in another. I don’t blame these girls; he is someone you would want but I hate how they are touching what’s mine. Jay smirked, “yes, want anything”. I wanted to punch this smug look off his face and kill these girls.

“Who are you and why are you disturbing us”, a girl in a skimpy Santa dress said to me angrily. I looked at her with pity “I’ll never understand how pathetic you girls can be”. Her mouth hung open on my comment, she took a moment to recover and said “he’s mine bitch, back off”.

She woke my lycan up, nobody calls my mate their. I smirked at her and I could see fear rising in her eyes and in her body language. Before I could make a move, my mate pulled me and crashed his lips on mine. When he pulled back, all the girls looked so shocked and the slutty Santa who was fighting with me looked like she was going to cry.

“Listen to me, whatever your name is” Jay said to her, “that’s my girlfriend you’re talking to and I’m not your anything, so stop being so desperate and get the hell out of my face”. She started crying and ran away, so did the other girls.

I took the cigarette from his hand and smoked a puff, “babe you were so rude to the poor girl”. “I saved her life” he laughed making me laugh as well. “Hey, who asked you to smoke”, he said, “the same person who asked you” I gave him a big fake smile. He rolled his eyes and took the cigarette from my hand and crushed it.

“Would you dance with me mam”, he asked? I happily gave him my hand and we moved towards the dancing area. Everybody was already there, when we were dancing Cris and Piero also came, I asked Jay to invite them so that they could have fun for at least one night.

Both of them grabbed drinks and joined us on the dance floor. All of us danced together, for that moment I was not worried about anybody or thinking about anything else. We all were together, as a family, dancing and having fun.

After a very long time, I was happy at Christmas and I was praying to the moon goddess to let this happiness last.

It’s Christmas night, we spent all day together, all of us. We already exchanged gifts. I brought Becky a beautiful dress and my brother got her a diamond necklace. For Cris and Piero, we got the same watches with their initials engraved on them. Becky and Liam gifted me a lot of things, new clothes, shoes, accessories.

Jay and I are sitting in my room right now because I wanted to give his gifts privately. First, I gave him the whole basketball things I got him, it had shoes, a jersey with his name on it, and all the other accessories. “Amore you didn’t have to get me so much” he complained.

I rolled my eyes “do you like it”. “I do but”, I stopped him “but nothing it’s a gift so don’t complain”. He thanked me, “wait, I’ve one more thing for you”, I said, “what”, he asked. I gave him the box, he opened it. “It’s kind of a dog tag, I thought it goes well with your whole aesthetic”. He smiled, “I love it”.

“No turn it over”, I said nervously. The tag had a very small of my pack’s tattoo made on it. “This represents my pack, and the other one says belongs to the lycan princess in an ancient language, if you show it to any other lycan in the world, they will know who you are, since I’m not going to mark you, this will work as a substitute”, I told him.

He pulled me close and gave me a soft kiss, “It’s really nice, I love it baby and I’ll wear this proudly” he said and wore it right then only. “Okay, now my turn”, he said. “You bought me a gift”, I asked. “Obviously, it’s Christmas why would I not get a gift for my girl”, he said and gave a bag, “I’m sorry I didn’t wrap it”.

I looked inside the bag, it was Harry potter things, one day when we were talking, I told him how I am obsessed with Harry Potter and he remembered. “You remembered” I almost cried. “Open it and see everything”, he said excitedly.

There was a robe with the Hogwarts symbol on it, scarves of all the four houses, and a wand. “Thank you, love this is the best gift”, I said and hugged him. “There’s something else in the bag Amore”, he said.

When I looked there was a card in it. It was blank from the outside when I opened it, it had something written in it in my mate’s handwriting. It said Mark me, Amore. I looked at him to see if it was a joke but he looked serious.

“Are you serious Jayson” tears fell from my eyes. “I thought about it a lot Amore and every time I ended at the same point, I never want to lose you and if this is how I get you forever then I want it”, he said making me cry even harder.

At this point, I wanted to tell him how much I love him but I want him to feel it before I say it to him. I’ll wait and mark him the day he’s on the same page as me. That day, I’ll take a step with him towards our forever.
