The Damned Princess

He looked confused after hearing my words. I looked one more time at the still body of my mate, and shouted in agony “you shouldn’t have done this Heracles” and punched with all my strength, straight on his chest. I heard his ribs cracking, “keep count Liam, I want to make sure every bone in his body breaks” I said without looking at my brother.

Heracles straightened up again and said, “I know you’re upset now Amore, but trust me I’ll make it alright, just let me mark you”. “Keep talking, it’s motivating me”, I said and threw the hardest punch in the middle of his face and his nose started bleeding.

His eyes turned red with anger, “yes change into your lycan, I’ll show you how strong you actually are” I hissed. “Stop this madness or I’ll forcefully do what needs to be done” he growled angrily. I was about to throw one more punch at him but he blocked it and punched my stomach really hard.

I fell a few feet back and coughed out blood. He ran to me and said, “I’m sorry Sienna, I really didn’t want to hurt you”. He bent down to help me up and I kicked his stomach making him stumble. I got up and growled, “you’ll be sorry Heracles, you’ll be sorry for everything you’ve done”.

I charged towards him and managed to punch his shoulder dislocating it in one hit, making him shout in pain. I jumped slightly and landed a punch on his forehead. He fell down with a loud thud and cried in pain. His cries made me feel good, so I grabbed his broken hand and kicked it several times breaking the bones in multiple places.

I was so lost in the moment, I couldn’t even hear his cries now, I could just see his hand lying limp on the floor bent in a very funny manner. I sat down next to him and said “it’ll be so slow Heracles, that you’ll beg me to end you quickly” smiling sweetly at him.

He kicked me and threw me back, I quickly stood up and saw him struggling to stand up. I ran and kicked the back of his knee and he fell back down. He turned around and I kicked his thigh and I heard the sweet sound of his bone-cracking again. His eyes met mine and I saw a hint of fear in them, making me laugh.

I looked at my brother, “hey Li, come look the great Heracles looks afraid”. Liam’s eyes widened and he shouted “turn around”. Before I could, I was picked up in the air and thrown hard into the ground. I got up and saw a huge lycan, with a misshapen claw and a limping leg growling at me.

“Behind the back, is that how you’ve been winning all these years my dear son”, I said. He growled loudly and charged at me. I tried to move out of the way but he slightly clawed my arm making it bleed. Liam shouted my name and ran towards me but I gestured him to stop, “I gave him another chance at life so I should get to make my mistake right” I said.

Heracles let out a cry of pain. This is the reason I don’t want to turn. I want him to see it clearly in my eyes that I hate him and I will not rest until he dies. I took a few steps towards him and gestured him to make a move. I could see the hurt in his bloodshot eyes and I loved it.

He didn’t, instead he turned back into his human form, my eyes didn’t leave his eyes for a moment. One of his men threw him some pants to wear. When he was clothed, he walked towards me, “Amore, I know you love me too much to end me then why are you doing this” he said. I could see pain and vulnerability in his eyes.

“I loved you too much and I had hoped I’d get you, my son, back today. But you took away my heart, the reason behind my sanity. You took the life of a person who meant to me more than your pathetic self” I hissed. “I know it’s not true, you love me more than everybody else, more than this human, so admit it and stop fighting me” he shouted.

I smiled at him, “I’ll see if you think the same when I have your spine in my hands”. I threw a kick to his stomach and he fell down. I didn’t give him a chance to stand and kicked his other shoulder multiple times, breaking it as well and he lied there crying in pain. A few of his men came to attack me but my brother is enough for them and he made sure nobody distracts me.

“Tell me Heracles do you still think Amore loves you”, I asked him smiling sweetly. A few tears slipped from his eyes; I kicked his face making it bleed. One by one, I took my time to break his legs and arms. He couldn’t move now even if he wanted to. Even a lycan needs some to time to heal that much-broken bones. I sat next to him and looked at him lovingly and I saw hope in his eyes making me laugh.

I placed my hand on his chest, “just tell me once that you love me, Amore I’ll happily accept death” he cried. I bent down to his ear and whispered, “every cell in my body hates you Heracles” and slowly put pressure on his chest. Very slowly, breaking his skin and muscles to reach his heart. His cries made me feel so good, I had his heart in my hand, fighting to keep on beating and pumping blood in his veins.

“Amore” I heard my name in a weak voice, so I tightened my grip on his heart and hissed, “don’t call me that you bastard”. “Amore stop it” I heard again but it was not Heracles’ voice, it was my mate’s. I slowly turned around and he was on his feet, taking steps towards me. I let go of Heracles and stood up, too numb to feel any emotions.

“How are you, am I dreaming” I whispered. He smiled, his smile was too real, the warmth in his eyes was too real, “why don’t you touch me and make sure Amore” he said. I stood in front of him, I could feel the warmth radiating from his body, his body that was lying cold a few moments ago. I could hear his heart beating. “But how, he” I pointed back at Heracles unable to form words.

Tears fell from my eyes, “are you here to take me with you love” I whispered my chest burning with the pain of losing him just some moments ago. “No Amore, I’m here to live with you, forever”, he said. I raised my hand to touch him but I was too scared, what if I’m hallucinating, what if he goes away the moment, I touch him.

“Why don’t you touch me and make sure my love” he whispered. So, I did, I touched his beautiful face and sparks erupted. I immediately pulled my hand back. I looked at Liam with widened eyes, “am I hallucinating brother”. He smiled and shook his head as no.

I turned towards Jayson and I still couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I cried even harder, “what if you’re not real, it hurt really bad when you didn’t wake and I can’t” he didn’t let me complete and crashed his lips into mine. His lips moving perfectly in sync with mine were too real to be a hallucination.

The sparks erupting from our skin and the electricity crackling in the air was too real, it felt like my heart started to beat again with him. When we pulled apart, I threw myself in his arms “I thought I lost you, you were so still and cold and there were no sparks, I thought he took my soul from me” I kept crying.

“It’s okay baby, I’m here now, with you forever” he whispered in my ear. I stepped back and looked at him from head to toe. He looked perfect, all the bruises and cuts on his body were gone, “but how” I whispered. “We’ll talk about that later, there’s something important we need to finish first”, he said and looked at Heracles struggling on the ground.

His eyes turned red with anger and mine widened, he’s a lycan. He took my hand in his and walked towards Heracles. “Did you do this to him”, he asked me smirking. I didn’t say anything, I was too confused to think of an answer. He looked back at him and said, “I told you, my mate’s not a person to be messed with”.

Heracles growled, “don’t call her that, she’s mine” and Jayson laughed, there was something sinister in his voice, and it was calling me to be a part of every sin he wants to commit, “and I also told you, that you’re one hell of a delusional man”.

“Amore tell him you are mine” he shouted. Jayson chuckled once more and kissed me again in front of him, he was playing with him like a toy. When we looked back, Heracles was somehow standing up, very deformed. “Finally, I didn’t want to kill you in that position”, Jayson told him and Heracles growled.

He charged towards Jay but couldn’t make a hit. My mate is too strong for him and I’m lost in his trance. He moves so smoothly; Heracles was back on the ground in just a few hits he got from my mate. He was growling in pain, there was fear in his eyes, fear of death, something we never saw. He cried like he was calling me for help but it’s too late for him now.

Jayson grabbed his neck and lifted him off the ground, held him in the air, ready to rip his spine out. “Jayson stop”, I said. Heracles looked hopeful again, he cried “Sienna, I’m sorry please stop this, and I promise I’ll be what you always wanted me to be, please” he begged.

Jayson was thirsty for his blood; I could see it in his eyes but he stopped and waited for me to say something. I quickly ran to the cell Daniel and V were in, I woke Daniel up and brought him out. “I want you to see the murderer of your parents die, I want you to see that they are avenged”, I told him.

Jay smirked when the hope in Heracles’ eyes was crushed. I nodded at my mate and he crushed his neck with one hand and ripped out the spine, of once a sweet little boy I turned into a monster, with his other hand. His body hit the ground with a loud thud and tears fell from my eyes, I know he deserved it but somewhere he came to this fate because of me and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive myself for this sin.
