The Damned Princess

I said it. I told him. Why is he so quiet? We have been sitting like this for a few minutes now and he did not utter a word. I know it’s hard and this is too much to process but his silence is killing me slowly. I can hear his soft breathing. I can also hear his heart beating and it’s not as calm as he looks from outside.

My own heart was thumping against my chest. “Jayson” I whispered his name. He looked at me and it was like the haze he was in broke. I could see a storm of emotions brewing in his beautiful eyes. “Love, say something please”, I said again.

He pulled his hand away from mine and it was like a slap on my face. Suddenly the warmth I was feeling from my mate was not there. It felt like he was getting distant with every moment. He slowly got up and I followed his actions.

He started backing away from me. Every step he took away from me was like a stab to my heart. “Hey listen to me please, I know it’s hard to understand and I’ll never force myself on you. Just please don’t leave like this, tell me what’s going on in your head. Let me clear everything out” I said.

Tears were threatening to fall out of my eyes. “Please Jayson” I literally begged him. He rushed downstairs and I was right behind, asking him to talk to me. Becky and Liam came out of their room, they must have sensed my panic and pain.

Liam asked, “What happened sorellina”. I did not say anything I was just following my mate, my life who was just slipping out of my hands. He was at the door of my house, I fell to my knees “Jayson please don’t go like this”, he paused for a second but then left.

The moment he left; my whole world crashed in front of my eyes. I could hear footsteps approaching me, I could hear panicked voices calling out my name but why could I not feel anything. I could hear my heart beating in my ears but I could not feel it in my chest.

Liam grabbed my hands and shouted, “answer me sorellina now”. I could see the pain in his eyes. “I told him and he left” I whispered. Rage started building up in his eyes, “I’ll not let him leave you like that” he growled.

“No”, I said. He looked angrier “What the hell does that mean Enna, I’ll kill him I don’t care if he’s your mate”. “I said no Liam, I’ve been wanting him to leave from the beginning. He made the right choice” I said. It just hurts more than I thought.

Liam grabbed the table and threw it on the wall. The glass shattered piercing our skins but he was too angry to see it. He just ran to his room. Becky pulled me to her chest and I broke down. She was whispering things to me trying to calm me down.

I don’t how long we sat like that, I don’t know how long have I been crying. Becky called my name but I did not respond. She made me look up and pointed towards the door. When I turned, he was standing there.

My vision was blurry because of crying but I could feel it was him. “Jayson, I thought you made your choice”, I said. Becky helped me stand and left to give us some privacy. He walked towards me and my heart was beating so fast that it was hurting.

“It’s okay if you choose to leave Jay, it’s hard to deal with but that’s what I want too”, I said without looking at him. He grabbed my arm and pulled me to his chest. I gasped, his hands moved and grabbed my waist really tight.

“You don’t get a say in this matter”, he said and crashed his lips into mine. He kissed me really rough but passionate. I was too shocked to respond. Before my mind could process anything and respond he was pulled away from me. I instantly missed the feel of his soft lips on mine. The sparks that make me feel alive.

When I opened my eyes, I saw Liam had him pinned to the wall and had grabbed his throat. Liam growled “don’t you fucking dare kiss my sister. You don’t get to leave her to die like that and then come back and kiss her”. His grip tightening on my mate’s neck.

When I came back to my senses, I rushed to them and pulled him away from my mate and punched him straight to his chest. “Don’t you dare hurt my mate ever” I growled at him. Liam was really angry but he does not get to hurt Jayson. Becky quickly came and grabbed my brother’s hands and pulled him out of the house.

Jayson grabbed my hand, I turned to him “I’m sorry Jay, he was really angry but that doesn’t justify his behavior”, I didn’t want him to be scared of us anymore. He placed his finger on my lips and smiled “I totally deserved that”.

I wanted to say something but he stopped me and continued “I never meant to hurt you, I just wanted to process everything for a minute. I didn’t know that me standing outside for five minutes will cause this havoc here”, he chuckled.

“Since the first time my eyes met with yours, there has been this desire to make you mine. When I tried, you pushed me away but now I know the reasons and I’m making my choice Amore”. He held my face and gently wiped the tears I did not know were flowing from my eyes.

“I choose you and I want you to choose me too, enough of pushing each other away”, he said. “Will you be mine Amore”, he asked? I was in a loss of words, I just wanted to cry my heart out because I never felt this sort of happiness ever in my life.

“Yes”, I whispered softly. He grinned childishly. His eyes went down at my lips and his whole demeanor changed. He changed our positions and pushed me against the wall and crashed our lips once again. This time I also responded, moving my lips in sync with his. Sparks were traveling from lips to my spine making every inch my body tingle.

He bit my lower lip, making me gasp and slipped his tongue in my mouth, tasting every inch of my mouth. He pulled apart when we both were out of breath. “It was so much better than how I imagined”, he said making me blush.

“I still have a lot of questions Amore”, he said. It scared me a little but I smiled at him, “I’ll answer all of them, come let us sit”. I took his hand and led him to the dining table since the living area was a mess. “You want anything”, I asked and he shook his head as a no. The moment we sat Liam and Becky walked through the doors.

He was not as angry when he left. Becky smiled at me and I smiled back. “I want to talk to your mate Enna”, Liam said. We both got up and I stood in between Jay and brother. “Sorellina move”, he said in a demanding tone. I was going to throw a sarcastic comment but Jay put his hand around my waist and said, “it’s okay Amore, let me talk to him”.

I moved aside but still alert just in case Liam loses his cool. “Before you threaten me again, can I say something”, Jayson said, Liam nodded at him to continue. “I know I’ve hurt your sister a lot but trust me it was never my intention. Even today I just stepped out for a moment to clear my head I didn’t know it would create such a mess”.

“I really like your sister and I’ll be with her; you like it or not. All I can promise is that I’ll never intentionally hurt her in any way” Jayson said. I was so touched by his words. Liam looked at me once, I smiled at him. He said, “you better not or I’ll end you myself, mate or not I don’t care”. I rolled my eyes at my brother.

Becky held his hand to keep him calm and added “I understand everything that has happened so far was not your fault but if in future you hurt her, I’ll not stop my mate” and her lycan flashed in her eyes. My eyes widened at her threat because she is never like this. Jayson nodded at her and she was back to normal. She smiled brightly at him “welcome to the family”.

I laughed at her and Jay smiled. Liam was still giving don’t approach me vibes but I knew he’ll be fine by morning. It was getting awkward, so Jay broke it by saying “it’s late I think I should leave now”. I did not want him to leave, I looked at Becky hoping she’d say something.

“No, it’s too late, spend the night here only”, she said and winked at me. I blew her a kiss discreetly. “What” Liam shrieked in a high girl pitch. Before he could add something, I grabbed Jay’s hand and dragged him to my room. I could hear Liam complaining about how he does not allow a guy with his sister under his roof.

Jay laughed “I can leave if he’s that uncomfortable”. “No, he just loves to overreact” I rolled my eyes. He closed the door and grabbed my waist and pulled me to himself, my back against his chest.

He pressed his lips on my neck and whispered “I didn’t know you were in such a hurry to bring me to your bedroom” and started kissing everywhere on my neck. “I th-thought you wanted to ask me somethings” I stuttered. “We’ve all the time talk now”, he said and bit my shoulder, making a moan escape from my lips.

I bit my lip, embarrassed of my reaction. My eyes were tightly shut, I was afraid I’ll lose my control and do something more embarrassing. “From today, only I get to bite that lip of yours”, he said and attached his lips to mine.

This kiss was not rough like before but held the same passion. He bit my lower lip making me moan again and his tongue entered my mouth. I could not even fight for dominance, he had that much control over me. I loved his fresh minty taste in my mouth, I loved his soft lips against mine.

He pulled apart and pressed his forehead against mine and said “I hate that we’re in your brother’s house right now” making me laugh. “Come on, we had a long day, you need to sleep now”, he said.

I went to the bathroom to change and to brush my teeth and I kept a new toothbrush out for him. I was in bed yawning when he came out in just his boxers, making my eyes open wide. “What” he smirked, “I sleep like this only, and even you prefer me like this”, he said and winked at me.

I was blushing furiously when he got in bed with me. He pulled the blanket over both of us and pulled me in his chest. “I’ll never be able to sleep like this”, he chuckled. I realized I said it out loud and now I was blushing more if it was possible.

He placed one last kiss on my head and muttered “good night Amore”. His arms tightly wrapped around me made me feel so safe. His soft breathing was calming me down and making me sleepy. I whispered “good night love” and let the sleep consume me too.
