princess and her mate

I am currently getting ready for this big ball my father is throwing, my best friend lilly and lady in waiting is currently helping me, she knows how i hate my dads swarees and knows how i despise my fathers right hand. "akasha you look amazing" im currently wearing a purple and gold tight bodice dress with long lace sleeves. i smiled "thankyou lill" i do appreciate her so much. she curls my long wavy black hair thats waist length and does my makeup and pops my tiara on my head with shimmer purple lipgloss. "i hate all this pomp and ceremony lilly, its all about him" i sigh and sat on my chair at my vanity admiring how perfect she does my makeup and hair my red eyes standing out and look at photos of my mother. she is away with family, why you ask, because you will find out later. "its time akasha, sorry princess akasha" i rolled my eyes, everytime father does a ball, i have to have everyone call me princess akasha, its annoying to be honest. i put on my black heels and head down, getting announced i walked into the ballroom and instantly go to my father. "father, i am here" i announce kissing father on this cheek. "my love" caspian greets kissing my hand. i simply nod and smile as i look around this ballroom. "packed darling, all species, we have to announce it shortly, caspian can you see to the kitchen and dungeon please, i dont want any issues" my father says and caspian simply nods, kisses my cheek and does as hes asked. i was talking with a few people when this guy walked in and apologised for being late, accompanied by a pregnant woman, i simply roll my eyes and carried on. "of course, it will be taken care of, i will gladly help your daughter and son, you know i enjoy painting" i smiled to queen izzy of the witches. "thank you princess akasha, it means alot, you know how my children are" "no need for formalities we are friends, how are my little niece and nephew i hope they are well" i smile hearing about little kelly and dylan is amazing. "kelly is as always, little sassy but missing you and dylan is like his father, a pain" she giggles, it makes me giggle to. just then i hear a throat clearing. i slowly turn, lifting my eyes to the most beautiful man i ever seen. just then i feel my thirst take over and reach for a glass of blood. "im sorry excuse me" i go to leave when i feel sparks traveling up my arm. "sorry, i should not have.." his voice smooth as silk and sends my insides into mush. "hi, i am Damon" he says huskily. "akas.." "honey there you are" caspian says interrupting us. the pregnant girl that came in with him places her hand over his chest and im tempted push her away but i keep my face neutral. "there you are babe, we were thirsty" she smiled placing her hand over her stomach, i feel tears threatening spill but dont show, why am i this emotional. "who are you" she faked smiled at me. "princess akasha, and you" i said stoically. "future queen and wife and mother sarah" she smiled. "sorry, can you excuse me, i need some air a moment and a smoke" i said simply, kissing caspian on the cheek and went outside and sat by the water fountain. lost in my thoughts i should of realised he was dishelved upon arrival and she was practically wrapped around him, i realised he was my beloved. i didnt realise how lost in my thoughts i was until i heard his voice beside me. "you okay" he asked. "yes" i got up and got my lighter when he grabbed my hand. "you have a cig i can have, i forgot mine" he smiled. i gave him one and lit mine up as he was lighting his, i realise i need hurry and go back inside. "im sorry" he whispers. "you have nothing apologise for" i said simply. "im the dragon king, and i do have apologise for...." he cuts himself short. "i know your my beloved, i understand your wish to reject me" i said pushing the pain away. "i....no....i am not rejecting you, your my mate" he said hurt coating every syllable. "you have your wife waiting and i have...." i trailed off. "i am sorry" he whispered tracing after me as i walk towards the ballroom. "as am i" i whispered as i found my father on the stage. "thank you all for coming to my ball, again but this one is also a celebration, my daughter akasha, is engaged to caspian" we both joined him and caspian kissed my forehead as i stared at the man meant to be mine as sarah kissed his lips, making my chest burn with pain. everyone cheered and i went outside talk to lilly and queen izzy in the gardens. "soooo, you met him" izzy smirked. "who" i blushed. "your beloved" she said simply while lilly smirked at me. "i cannot have him" i whispered a tear dropping from my eye. "why" and to be honest there is alot of reasons to this question, his baby mother, caspian, the fact im a virgin and a vampire, i will never be accepted, never. we hear footsteps approaching, my father talking to king damon. "oh sorry sweetheart, did not know you were out here, are you okay" my father asks while i am giving father eye contact i can feel his eyes on me. "yes, i am about to go hunt, im quite thirsty father" my dad simply nods. "be back sa..." "safely, i know father" lilly went inside with queen izzy and i went into the forest to feed, i find a deer when a snap of a twig catches the deers attention and it runs off. "oh man, who is there, you made me lose my lunch" i crossed my arms daring this person come out. guess who it is, damon of all people. "you. sorry, can i help you king damon, i was busy catching my lunch" sarcasm dripping from my tone as i feel my thirst spike. "your engaged" wasnt a question, but an observation. "not by choice, excuse me" i was walking past when he grabbed me and kissed me passionately against the tree. no this is wrong, i have duties, he has a wife and baby, but why does it feel so good, what is that poking me, my eyes widen with realisation when i slapped him. "why" i whispered tears slipping.
