Mated Enemies Chapter 28: LUCIEN
I slipped back into my bird form and laid beneath the tree she'd found me under the day before, doing a good impression of being hurt. If she gave it much thought she'd wonder how I'd flown away so strongly the day before only to be in this condition now. But I'm banking on her compassionate nature clouding her judgment. I heard her coming not long after I arrived and started limping along the grass embankment making sure there was no way she could miss me. "Oh little birdie, so this is where you flew off to. Why did you leave so suddenly yesterday did we scare you?" She's so easy. She picked me up from the ground where I was pretending to be too weak to fly. "Let me take you back to the house then I'll come back for my swim." Nope, that's my reward for being good all night while you slept in my arms. I hopped from her hand and ran along the grass twittering. She laughed at my antics and tried to catch me again. This time I flew onto a low- lying branch of the
Mated Enemies Chapter 29: NATALIA
What on earth happened to me in the night? I looked at the atrocity on my neck after running out of the bathroom upon seeing it the first time and returning again to make sure my eyes were not deceiving me. That it wasn't some trick of the early morning light that was now easing its way through the French windows that lined one whole wall of the bathroom. I got a strange feeling in the pit of my tummy as I ran my fingertips gently over the mark. It felt like molten heat had travelled from the deepest part of me to that secret place between my thighs and I grew breathless-twitchy. To the point where I had to squeeze my thighs together to help ease the ache. My mind drifted on its own until I got a quick flash of him, my tormentor, and pulled away from the mirror with a loud gasp. I looked around half expecting to find him standing there behind me, watching. My skin felt flushed, my nipples hardened and tingled in a way they never have before and for a split second I fel
Mated Enemies Chapter 30: NATALIA
My eyes fell on the mark on my neck and I remembered what it was I'd been doing before I started daydreaming. I can't let the others see my neck, which seemed to be getting darker by the minute. Not until I had some answers myself as to how it got there. So I did my best to conceal it with some makeup. That only hid it to some extent but it would have to do for now. Pulling my hair forward did the rest and I looked myself over one last time before leaving the bathroom. I suddenly felt more rested than I had in days, weeks even, and was looking forward to spending another lovely Sunday afternoon with my sisters before school started again in the morning. How odd the mind is. It can go from the sordid thoughts I'd been having as I stood before the mirror. Thoughts that were incendiary at best, and now to something as innocent as school the next day. I took birdie downstairs with me leaving Patrick in his cage since the two of them couldn't seem to get along. I'll
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
Mated Enemies Chapter 33: NATALIA
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
Mated Enemies Chapter 34: NATALIA
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 80: Epilogue: NATALIA
I never thought I'd have this much fun sitting around in a room full of vampyre women, they're a hoot and nothing at all like the snooty vixens I always thought them to be. Or maybe it's because I'm the crown princess that they sheaf their claws. Whatever the case I learn a lot from them about their customs and whatnot, though lately there've been whispers about my bad influence on some of the younger ones. No one except my husband dares though so I pretty much ignore it all. It's because of them that I even learned what Lucien had done to Sabrina. You better believe I checked that one out for myself since the story seemed so farfetched. She was indeed unrecognizable, nothing at all like the beauty I'd met when I first came here. I can't say I felt bad for her though, it was a shitty thing she did. But I did balk when I heard that he'd had all her closest servants cut in half since I'd never had any dealings with them and had no idea what their crimes were.
Mated Enemies Chapter 79: LUCIEN
The stuffy elders didn't make a sound didn't complain not once, too mesmerized by the spectacle. I doubt even they had expected things to turn out this well. At the top of the steps once again we both turned to face the crowd giving them one last look at the royal couple before turning to head to the throne. For most it will be the first and last time they'd ever see her. *** "Why couldn't I carry him in a pod like all other elf kind?" Now was not the time for laughter but I couldn't help it once Damien started snickering. His mother had gone into labor what felt like seconds after we'd gone to bed that night. It was just a few short months after our nuptial ceremony and she'd been settling in very well. Her days were longer now since the crown princess consort was more than just a figurehead and everyone seemed to need her attention at once. I know it was because they were still fascinated by her but I wished for the earlier days when she had to think of nothin
Mated Enemies Chapter 78: NATALIA
Now everything was coming together nicely, if I could only get through this day without incident. Yesterday's little kerfuffle was more than enough to last me for the next little while. I have no idea what had happened to the hag and the halfwit because he refused to discuss it and now that I can read his mind he still has ways of keeping me out, so I guess I'll have to be satisfied with his, 'they won't be bothering you ever again.' Not that I cared though I had way too much on my plate to dwell on bullshit. He actually fell asleep again and I had no other choice but to bite him. He didn't even wince, just cracked his eye open and looked at me. "What is it?""Let me up." I hissed but he didn't even budge."I'm not ready to get up yet and neither are you. You had a long day yesterday and you're facing another one today, no." "But they came all this way.""So?" Unreasonable much?"It's not unreasonable for me to want to take care of you. You almost lost y
Mated Enemies Chapter 77: LUCIEN
"With all of you at each other's throats, filled with distrust, your eyes have no longer been focused on us have they, you are too busy fighting against each other to care about what we've been doing, as it should be." I dropped her back on her feet and waited for her to stop gagging. "But you failed this time, so why are you still here?" I'm waiting for her to tell me that she was here to take my wife's life. Not that I needed justification but I believe in being fair. I want her to know exactly why she was going to die. "All should've gone as planned this time. Had I not been careless I would've noticed the child and they'd both be dead by now." Good enough!"Bellaque!" "Sire!" He came out of the shadows and she tried going through the wall to escape, her eyes wild and wide with fear."Go!""How many?""All of them." "What does that mean? Where is he going?" She kept a wary eye on my pet.'To annihilate your clan. Starting with you!" The wor
Mated Enemies Chapter 76: LUCIEN
I took a step back from the look he gave me and I swear I came within a hair's breadth of telling his son to put that shield back up. "Do you know how close you were to losing your life? You were ten feet away from..." His body shook as if rocked by some unseen force. "I didn't go there intentionally, that airheaded halfwit tricked me into going there.""And how did she do that? Did she enter these rooms and forcibly remove you?" "Well, no, but..." He paced the room back and forth in an agitated state."I am calm... I know she can't be punished. You don't have to make excuses for her she....""Who're you talking to?" Had he really lost it? "Your son, he's pleading your case. Did you really get drawn away by the smell of fruit trees?" Damn, this kid is a snitch. Hey you in there? How do I get you on my side? You have to tell him everything? "He can hear you but you can't hear him so don't waste your time.""Stop listening, you promised.""I take
Mated Enemies Chapter 75: LUCIEN
"That was a long time ago...""Mom, you both saw the way Sabrina acted when she came to dinner that night. Had I not been there who knows how far she might've gone. You also heard the story of how she forbid my wife to enter the throne room. Even if Natalia is ignorant of the facts, Sabrina has lived here her whole life, she knows that it was an offense worthy of death." "I won't blame you entirely. For too long I let her errant behavior slide because it was of no importance to me, but now that my wife is here I will not allow her even one toe over the line. You can choose not to tell me, it would just mean me having to pay a visit to the hall of records, which might start tongues wagging..." "It's not that we don't want to tell you it's just... that was such a dark time." I didn't answer but waited for her to go on. "Back then your uncle was betrothed to the fairy princess Hyacinth, she's your wife's ancestor." "It would've been the first such marriage. Other
Mated Enemies Chapter 74: SABRINA
She was even more forceful than that night at the dinner table it seemed and I couldn't quite get a grasp of her. My magic by rights should be stronger than hers no matter what she was made up of, so why can't I get by whatever protective shield she'd wrapped around herself? I tried again to push through and was stopped once more. Then I felt her here, the only one who has ever been true to me and welcomed her gladly. Though she'd been told to stay hidden under cover of night, her powers added to mine should be more than enough to withstand whatever power the fairy was using to protect herself. I called forth the hag as I kept my eyes on the fairy, only now questioning whether it was Lucien protecting her. Too late, I'm already here and she's so close, just within my reach. Even if he hates me for destroying her at least his heart will be broken; like mine. "Here princess take this!" The hag held out what looked like a shield shattering sphere. I reached for it
Mated Enemies Chapter 73: SABRINA
I no longer care about the outcome. I'm no longer worried what might happen to me if I were to be found out. There was only one thing on my mind and that was getting rid of her and to seek revenge. The hag, who until now I'd believed had come to me out of our shared dislike and disdain for the union between Lucien and the fairy had waited until now to tell me the whole truth. A truth that until now had been hidden from me; the truth about my parents' deaths, about why they had to die. The hate I'd felt before paled in comparison to the rage filled hate that now burned in my bosom. I'd spent the whole of the next day after that ill fated dinner reliving the words she'd whispered in my ear as the mix of emotions I already felt grew into something darker, much-much darker. Now for the first time in my life my mind was filled with something more than winning Lucien's heart. Now I have even more reason to hate her and her kind and what this union represents.
Mated Enemies Chapter 72: NATALIA
I'm hiding out from the monster. I'm literally peeking around the side of buildings and hiding in the bushes so I can get some peace and quiet. How do I get myself into these situations? And why are all of my many identities getting more and more scandalous? After living as a fairy my whole life, being a most fair and dainty being, it boggles my mind how all of my other personalities can be so very different. And this last one seems to be even worst than the nymph, which seems rather preposterous. She's the only part of me I'm not too familiar with, my elf-lady. I've only just gotten used to my nymph here in the last year or so when she started making a regular appearance, so her, I'm kind of getting a handle on. But my elf never really makes an appearance. Since I've spent so many hundreds of years in the earthly realm she's never really had reason to materialize since she seems to only show herself to immortal royalty and the elders of our people, so her I am
