-Love Lily

*his intention*

"She is gorgeous" I thought, thoughts swirling through my head as the need to mate seeps out of me. I hiss as i feel my brain pulling me to turn around and take her from that house.

"Zalara" I whisper her name, and growl as the issue in my pants starts to become a real problem. Every detail of her engraved in my memory taunting my instinctual senses.

Damn it, it's hot. The Safari is always so damn hot.

I make it back to my uncle's palace early enough that no one should be awake.

I walk through the main front doors and scowl at how unnecessary they are.

Billions of dollars used on one door , sickening, especially when there are so many that are helpless…

Familiar anger began to rise in me

"Livi!" a high pitched female voice called, Liiiivvviiii!" she whined. "LIII…"

"What the hell do you want!" I snapped, looking around to make sure no one else appeared.

"Oh worked up pretty early i see" She said in a voice that made me want to throw up, while slightly squeezing my shoulder.

I knocked her hand away and began walking around her heading up to my room, or should i say, my portion of the palace.

"Livius!" she snapped

"What do you want Yvanna " I hissed, wishing she would stop shouting.

Instantly her voice changing to one sweet sounding, twirling her golden locks around her manicured fingers. " Just curious as to where you were running off to so early in the morning"

"I coming from a jog" I curtly responded continuing up the grand staircase.

"Surely a jog wouldn't make you smell of bubble bath and rose scented shampoo" she sweetly responded, trying to look as innocent as possible.

"What i'm doing is none of your business" I respond without physical being affected by her comment but mentally i was slightly in a panick.

"Watch your step livius" she hissed, you don't want me telling theo do you?" she said batting her eyelashes but her blue eyes still looked evil. "You guys seem to be bumping heads ever since, that night."

I laughed to myself thinking back to that night i disagreed with Theos logic about women and s*x and he felt like he was being attacked, royalty my ass, he's just a pretty boy who is used to being surrounded by women, money and a hell of alot of yes men.

I turned around, smirking and she blushed.

I walked back down the stairs and continued until i was right in her face, she stank of candy scented perfume.

"Yvanna" I whispered locking eyes with her and wrapping an arm around her waist, "Yvanna" i purred into her ear.

"Y-yes " She stuttered, blushing a deep rose color

Pulling her closer i bent down and whispered into her ear "I hear you're good at baking mango cake"...

"I am " She smiled ,proud she won over Theo

"But i hear the two girls in his bed with him right now turned out to be a little better" I stated releasing her as she stumbled to the floor.

"UGH! You pig! You asshole! You….you" she spat "THEO!"

No response

She ran in the direction of his room as two girls, one older and one younger came walking out from his portion of the palace both looking satisfied in more than one way.

Yvanna watched them as the both passed her.

"Where the f**k did you two just come from?!" Yvanna shouted.

They both ignored her continuing past me both winking, the younger one blowing a kiss in my direction.

"Yvanna baby, i missed you" Theo said as he now came down the hall basically naked to meet a shocked Yvanna. Winking at the two girls as they walked out

"Sickening" I thought to myself.

"Who were they? Theo? I thought.." Yvanna started, sounding as if she were going to choke on her tears that had yet to surface.

"Oh baby come on" Theo laughed, scooping her up in a loving grasp, "You know i love you, stop freaking out by every girl you see, okay?" he said while kissing her full lips freshly covered by baby pink lipstick

"You love me?" Yvanna asked, but it sounded more like a plea.

"Of course baby, I don't know what i would do without you" he said picking her up, kissing her deeply as he looked up at me rolling his eyes.

And just like that she forgave him and moved on

I finished my walk to my destination disgusted, but at least it was peaceful.

As i reached my portion of the castle, it was silent and i immediately imagined what it would be like to make love to Zalara in every last area of this place. Her skin, her scent, i hissed as i seriously needed to take care of the recurring problem in my pants. Flashes of her bent over reaching for that water made me purr deep within my body.

She was sexy as hell, and she was mine.

But why has it taken her so long to prime? It has never taken this long, ive looked at all of the previous ones in history and they have all primed well before it was time for them to shift.

I sat down and the heat hit me like a wave

SHIT , the mating season has officially begun.

Shit s**t s**t! If she primes outside of her house she is going to get hit by the heat so much harder now that it's mating season.

I thought maybe, under normal circumstances i would be able to catch her right when i felt her change, but now it doesn't matter how fast i try to get to her she is going to be attracting males all across this damned kingdom.

She is already so seductive, i didn't even care if Neil or whatever the hell his face is was there to witness us making love i was going to snap with the amount of energy surging from her body to mine.

Consciously or not she was seducing me from the standpoint of my mate, connecting us mentally,physically and emotionally.

I knew it the moment i saw her on the night that i arrived.

I knew it when my mind kept me from sleeping and my body forced me to check on her every night.

I knew it that night i saw her wearing the contents of that little black bag, the same bag i thought i was going to kill someone over, and my heart felt like it swelled as i longed to touch her.

I thought back to the feeling that swept through my body as i held her, taunting me to take her right there as she looked up into my eyes, her full of lust.

Her lips full and innocent

Her hair…

*Banging sounds at the door*

"AYE LIVIUS" Isaac screamed from the other side of the door "HEY DO YOU HAVE SOME CONDOMS I RAN OUT AND THE KITTEN DOESN'T WANT ANY BABIES, SAYS HER HUSBAND MIGHT FREAK"

I put my hair into a braid taking my time as he continued to bang on the door.

I walked over and opened it. "HEY i***t DON'T YOU KNOW THESE ARE WOODEN DOORS AND THEY AREN'T MADE OUT OF CEMENT SO I CAN HEAR YOU AT A NORMAL VOLUME?"i screamed into his ears" and to answer your question, no i dont have any condoms in here"

"Haha, you ran out too? My man" Issac said patting me on the back.

Ill remember to shower immediately after this.

"Well i tried i mean i guess we can hope for the best, am i right?" He said stupidly laughing as he walked out of the room.

In fact i do have condoms but they are in my room in a place i have been keeping all of the things i will be using to do unspeakable things with Zalara.

I walked to my grand bathroom and turned on the shower, stepping into it as soon as i discarded my clothes.

As i let the water cascade over my body i thought back to the day that the king my "uncle", found me.

I was fighting, sick of running, sick of watching my loved ones die, or be caught, I had become a murdering machine.

I killed anyone who got in my way, men, women it didn't matter, if they were there they were dead.

I watched them kill my baby sister Lani, I watched them mentally tear her down everyday in the chase, i watched them physically destroy her body by starvation and malnutrition, I watched them mess her up so much that she decided she had no other saving grace but to kill herself.

I convulged. Punching the glass shower door as it shattered into millions of pieces

I remembered finding her body at the bottom of the river clasping the stone our mother gave her, an "L" engraved into the back.

I stepped out of the shower and opened the drawer closest to me under the sink that contained a pearl white box.

I opened it again grazing my fingers over the stone as every moment of that day replayed in my head. The day i lost the last person who mattered to me.

It was on that day I swore i would rise and get my revenge, i would steal everything they had, take their loved ones away and leave them helpless.

I found a man by the name of paul out in the jungle one day, I knew he was a jaguar so i hesitated to kill him. He was teaching two boys and a girl that looked to be at least 5 years older than me.

They were all strong. More than strong, they were all experienced far beyond their years.

I watched as the boys began sparring, they were moving so fast i couldnt even keep up with them. And then i focused on the girl.

She was beautiful more than beautiful but had a very dark air around her, as if she grew up too fast and knew all of the horrors of the real world.

She had her eyes closed in almost a meditative fashion as she repeated the words being told to her.

This repeated day after day as i watched them, mimicking their teachings, showing myself, until one day he saw me,more like acknowledged me, he always knew i was there.

"Who are you" Paul said one second one the ground the next in the trees with me.

I jumped backward falling off of the branch, but flipped over and landed on my feet. I turned around beginning to run away, but he was already there patiently sitting directly in front of me, waiting for an answer.

"My name is Cyphir." I said, and was knocked on my ass by the girl

"You think you can lie to us?" She responded. Her green eyes piercing me. Then she looked up towards the sky and told paul she had stayed too late and ran off.

"Ill ask again, Who are you?" Paul repeated.

"I told you i'm Cyphir" I spat

It was silent as the air around me began to still.

The two boys moved out of the way as the sky darkened.

Paul's golden eyes locked in with mine and changed color, they swirled with green and black as he whispered something to himself that i heard in my head.

"How are you… GET OUT!" i screamed as i felt myself slipping from reality "Who are you child?" Paul chanted into my head, and my conscious answered for me

"I am Livius"

Instantly Paul pulled away all of his magic juju crap and i no longer felt like i was drowning within myself.

"Now that wasn't that hard huh?" Paul said, smiling.

"Show me how to do that, Give me power" I said

"Is power what you desire?" Paul asked me.

"Its all i live for" I replied.

" And when you get this "power" you crave, what do you plan to do with it?" he asked.

"I will kill, everything that stands in my way" I replied

In that moment paul looked saddened and conflicted, and in the next moment he was gone. And no matter how hard i looked i was never able to find him again.

A few months later. I was running through the jungle at night, ahead of the chase when i stumbled over something, something that didn't even look humane.

It was a girl, seconds from death, lying by the base of the largest jungle tree i had ever seen.

I remember she was so small, covered in scratches and her tail, ears and claws were out.

My first instinct was to leave her, people died in the chase all of the time, death was nothing foreign or scary to me anymore. I got up to leave when i heard her whispering a name.

"...a"

"...ina"

Ina or whoever it was, she was calling for, and instantly she reminded me of my sister. I wondered if she called my name before she killed herself, i thought that if it were Lani laying here i would have wished that someone would try to save her.

I looked back down at the girl, and noticed she was crying, i swept a tear from her eye, but when i touched her , i lost something.

To this day i still don't understand what transferred from me to her, but a light grew when my finger touched her face, and i was filled with images of a beautiful woman i had never seen before.

I ran away, doing everything that i could for the girl into the night and decided that the best way to reach the people i wanted to hurt was to be caught.

I allowed myself to be caught in the chase and they did things that are unspeakable to me. And i killed every last one of them until they didn't know what to do with me.

They had me caged like a beast, stuck between the option of executing me or using me. When a man named Giron appeared saying he would take me in as his "Nephew" and i would be able to help more if i were kept alive and with him.

Giron was actually a decoy and was a jaguar who took years to secure me in the lion society where i made my way up to the top.

I trained and became stronger and stronger everyday, until i finally met my real mission. I was to become the fake nephew of a real king. King Andell. When i found out the king had 4 sons i instantly was for it.

I thought what a devastation it would be to have all 4 of your heirs die before your very eyes and you won't even know what hit you.

My fur blends in perfectly with that of a lion and they honestly believed me to be one.

When i arrived the brothers showed me around and i immediately was disgusted on how they treated women.

It seemed as if the whole kingdom threw themselves at them, and within seconds girls were telling me all the things they wanted me to do to them as well.

I thought i would play along until i could initiate my plan, blending in might help me, but i didn't want some girl to get attached to me , and then i saw her.

Standing there making eye contact with me as the images of a woman i had never seen before came to life and materialized in her body.

My everything reacted to her, Her glowing green eyes seemed to blaze into my soul.

but then she practically ran away.

I tried to watch where she was going but there were so women in my way blocking my view.

And instantly any plan i had got replaced with finding out who she was.

I spent months researching and i found Paul again. I visited with him to ask if he knew anything about her and he told me, he didn't expect me to take that long.

I spent hours upon hours and days upon days with him asking him questions on how i knew her, and how this happened.

"How did i know what she would look like 10 years before she got to that age?" "and what the hell came out of my body that day?!" i exclaimed.

"You marked her" he replied

"Marked her? How the hell did i mark anyone i was 11!" i responded

"Or maybe she marked you…"

"There is only one case in which a female can mark a male" i laughed stupidly

"..." and paul didnt respond.

There was silence.

And instantly i knew what she was…. And what I was.

I dried off and I walked into my bedroom

I planned on getting dressed, but when i got hit with the heat 3 times while doing so i opted to just go to sleep.

What do i do? I thought to myself.

My possessiveness growing as i spent, more nights without her, than with her.

"Damn it" I thought

And then the phone rang and i answered

"I hear you've found her" a female voice spoke.
