A Mate for Thorn

Chapter One: Fine!

I laughed manically as I slew my way threw the house. Leo had already rescued his mate and had taken her away. So now I was now free to play at my whim. I released the girls that were trapped and killed all the men who were there. I gazed into Rio's eyes as I snapped his neck and removed his head. Winter would be pleased. When my work was done I left. I casually made my way down the quiet street, wiping the blood from my face as I walked. After an hour I made it home. My mother was waiting at the kitchen table with the bane my existence. I leaned against the door frame and crossed my arms over my chest. This was getting old. "Hi honey. Have a fine m******e?" I smiled. "Yes momma. Why is he here?" "Oh honey, he just wants to make an honest woman out of you." I rolled my eyes. Same old same old. "Momma, Thorn. We've talked about this." Thorn stood up and walked over to me. "Just one date. Please." I tapped a claw tipped finger to my chin, pretending to think. "Uh, no." "I will get you to say yes." I rubbed my face and sighed. "If I agree will you go away?" "Yes." Mother giggled in excitement, while I sighed heavily. "Fine! Be here tomorrow at seven. And you better impress me or I'll rip your d**k off. " I spun on my heels and headed for my bedroom and showered. I thanked the gods my bathroom was in my room. I could just walk out naked. I laid on my bed afterwards and stretched my muscles. Stupid elf. He didn't give up. I couldn't help the smile that planted itself on my face. He's been in my life since I was five, always protecting me. If I was honest with myself, I loved him. But my first experience with males period didn't go well. The first broke my heart and when an immortal male came along, claiming to be my mate, I foolishly believed him. So when Thorn made the same claim I didn't listen. I clutched my chest. I couldn't open my heart to him but I could at least shut him and my mom up by giving him a shot. After tomorrow night I could reject him and go back to killing gang members and mafia bosses. Well the mafia bosses who were corrupt and wicked. Most of them I liked and for the most part they were nice. I looked at my ceiling, cringing that I had finally broke down and said yes. I didn't want to hurt him but my bat demanded I give him a shot. b***h. "I heard that." "I meant for you too." She was always being pushy. "I just want us to be happy and so does he. He's not like the others." I was worried that she was right, because then I wouldn't have an excuse. The date came too soon. I settled on a dark red velvet, turtle neck, mini dress that had a diamond shape cut into the back. I painted my nails silver and put on my silver furry boot. my boots made a stomping noise on the hard wood floor as I thumped down stairs. "Don't say anything. Even if this date goes well, I'm rejecting him." My mother gave me a look of disbelief and went to say something, only to be stopped by my father. I hated I would have to hurt him. He'd been nothing but good to me my whole life practically. "You know I can't trust males." Papa looked at me with a solum look and shook his head. "I love you guys." They hugged me and I walked out side to see Thorn leaning against his truck. "This better be good." He could tell I was annoyed and thankfully kept his mouth shut. As we drove away from the house, the ride was quiet. "We're going to Olive Garden first." I raised my eyebrow. Starting out strong. "Cool." He ignored my attitude and kept driving. When we arrived, we sat down and stared at our menus in an uncomfortable silence. This was going to be a long night. We ordered but I stayed silent. "Please say something." "Why? I didn't want to come here to begin with." He finally snapped. "Cyrunia do you think I would be trying so hard if you weren't my mate? For gods sake I'm still a virgin. I have felt no desire for another and since you grew into your immortality I have done nothing but masturbate. It's gross but its true." That shocked me. "Your a virgin? So that s**t about elves is true?" He nodded and huffed out a breath as he sat back. "I told you." "Shut up bitch." I hated when she was right. It annoyed me to no end. "I know you don't trust men. But I truly am not like them." It was my turn to fire back. "We'll see. I have suffered at the hands of males my entire life and I'll be damned if I just give into one so easily. You want my submission? Earn it." I stood up and headed to the restroom. I looked into the mirror and saw something I didn't recognize glimmer in my eyes. Hope. After I calmed down, I went back to the table. The waiter had brought out the food and I began eating. "I propose an idea. How about you come and live with me for one year. We will live as a couple for that year and if you still don't want to mate, then we won't." I stabbed the pasta, shoving it into my mouth. I thought about his proposal. What harm could it do really? I would get this little crush out of my system and he would finally move on after seeing that I'm not his mate. "Fine. One year. I'll go home with you tonight and you have to take care of me." The look on his face said "Challenge Accepted". What the hell did I just agree to? "You ready for this then?" I crossed my arms and raised a brow. "Bring it on elf boy."
