Mated Enemies Chapter 31: LUCIEN
I felt a sense of rising panic for her before I was able tamp it down again. At least we've already met so it won't be a complete surprise when I show up again. She already knows who I am; that I'm her fated mate, so there will be no surprise there either. And I can overcome her fear if I have to. I won't appear to her as the cardinal again, that game is dead. But for the next forty-eight hours I have to keep an eye on her, be near her or I'll lose my ever-loving mind. No problem, I can watch her from afar while the sun is up but it's not going to be easy. After all I'd tried to do, in the end she was the one to change her fate. As my balls calmed down I limped into the bathroom for another frozen shower, wondering why everything seemed stacked against us. Why all that could possibly go wrong, suddenly was. A cacophony of fucked up shit. Now even the water was too much against my skin. Fuck this! I calmed myself as I turned off the water with the thought that I
Mated Enemies Chapter 32: LUCIEN
I let part of my mind idle there, keeping an eye on her, while with the other part of my consciousness I thought of the best course of action. Every once in a while she would spike and I'd feel that shit. I could see that damn egg just floating around in there, teasing me, egging me on, pun intended. "I'll be back!" I threw my white silk napkin down on the table and got up to leave with all eyes on me. They'd been quiet all throughout dinner for obvious reasons but now I could feel their angst on the rise again. Just to fuck with them I turned at the door with a smile. "If I don't make it, if the fairy does me in, I leave Vespasian as my heir." I walked away laughing at the pandemonium that statement left behind as I took to the sky heading to her place. I'd used the time at the table to map out a plan in my head. Thankfully our mating ritual isn't as long and drawn out as the humans'. Their courting shit can go on for months, sometimes years. That's one of the

I knew the second he breached the perimeter and crossed the property line. I'm not sure what the connection between him and this thing on my neck happens to be, but from the moment it started tingling I knew. I'd been shocked earlier when he invaded my mind, and even more so by his candid forthcomings. Not sure why I expected him to lie, to evade. From a distance his voice is almost soothing, reassuring, but now that he's this close I feel that sense of dread creeping up on me once again. It hadn't been an easy day, not after the conversation my sisters and I had at breakfast. I'm still trying to figure out how I could've missed what they felt, heard; sensed. But what baffled me even more is when they swore that the strange phenomena had generated from my room. I ran my fingertip over the mark on my neck as I wondered not for the first time if this had something to do with all that I'd supposedly missed. He'd said it was his doing and though I believe him, it st

I evaded his touch when he reached his hand out towards my cheek and heard his deep sigh. "We don't have a lot of time sweetheart. I wanted to give you more time, at least another few days, but things have changed." "If we wait any longer it'll only get worst." I was already shaking my head before he could finish his sentence. "I know how this works and I don't have to...""Do you really think I'd let you get away from me?" The way he said those words just as his fingers caressed my cheek made me uneasy, but not in the way that you'd think when facing danger. I got to my feet, which caused him to step back out of the way to give me room. I was trying to avoid feeling at a disadvantage with him towering over me but it was the wrong move. No sooner had I gotten to my feet than he was there, invading my space again. When he clasped my nape and pulled me towards him I felt panic rise like a tidal wave inside me. He really isn't planning to give me any more time is
Mated Enemies Chapter 35: LUCIEN
She's going to run, dammit! I felt it as soon as she had the thought but she pulled that trick with the flowering field as if I were a green wet behind the ears moron who couldn't see through that shit. I gritted my teeth and played along, not letting on that I could see right through her. I understood her fear and it was my own need to protect her, to make her come to me on her own without fear that was dragging this thing on more than it needed to be. The thing is, I was raised to be this way; can't go against my nature. Whether she's my woman or just some stranger I happened to run across, I've been raised to protect all members of the immortal world as if they were my own, because they are. And none more so than she! In the days ahead my whole world will revolve around her, I'm programmed to be that way. Not that I'd become a mindless idiot who follows her around with my tongue hanging out of my head. Or like some of my human brethren, give up my balls and
Mated Enemies Chapter 36: LUCIEN
I was halfway home when she left her room and headed outside. I didn't turn back but instead opened my inner eye to watch her as she floated atop the water. The turmoil in her mind was like needles pricking against my senses and I did my best to ignore. Since it was still night I stayed out on the balcony and let the cooling night breeze keep me calm as I studied her. I had no intentions of taking even a drop of the cognac I'd poured myself when I walked inside my bedroom to turn the stereo on low just for some background noise to drown out my own thoughts. I wouldn't risk drinking this close to our mating. Not because I'm afraid that I might hurt her. What I told her was the truth, I'd rather cut off my own arm than hurt her. But it could mean the difference between me preparing her well enough to take me, or going half ass and fucking her raw. I have no doubt that I have enough self- control not to kill her when we fuck. She might be bruised, battered and sore
Mated Enemies Chapter 37: NATALIA
It was a good plan, if it had worked. I didn't want to get everyone in trouble and since I didn't know how he or his royal family would react it had been decided that I wouldn't go back to the valley my people call home. My sisters refused to leave me as we headed out of town, though I was a bit skeptical of them staying. All was going well except for the doubts in my mind that had plagued me all night and well into the day. The plan was to skip school, and head out of town. I knew his kind didn't move very easily during sunlight hours so we waited until noon to head out. We didn't think too much about where we were going, didn't communicate verbally for fear of being overheard, but relied more on hand signals and sign language. Patrick has been unusually quiet for him, which was a relief because before he went silent he seemed to think we were making a big mistake not heading to our immortal realm. Something that only panicked the others even more. We were head
Mated Enemies Chapter 38: LUCIEN
What the hell is she doing now? Damn! We're not even married yet and she's already giving me fits. 'Can I sleep Natalia?' I'd followed her in my half sleep state to the town limits since her frantic shit had awakened me at just before noon. I wasn't too worried since I knew her every move and I knew by now that the mark I'd left on her would do its job. Though I hadn't intentionally marked her that night, I was beginning to see it as the best move I could've made. Providence had stepped in where my dumb ass had almost dropped the ball. Now she can run as fast as she wants to, she just can't go too far. I watched as she checked in at the front desk of the cute little boutique hotel and sighed before settling down in the bed again. I still have a few hours left before I have to go hunt her down and I have a feeling that after tonight my peace and quiet will come to a sudden end. My eyes were at half-mast when she dragged herself up the short flight of stairs to th
