The Lost Warrior Princess

Sonya

Sonya’s POV

After Hunter had left me in the bathroom I had spend a bit of time standing under the hot water, it had been years since I was able to bathe fully and it was like emerging from the bowels of the underworld a new person. I felt fresh and energised as I dried my body and hair before I changed in to one of Hunter’s shirts and brushed my hair and teeth. It was amazing to have clean hair and fangs again. I didn’t have any clean underwear so I just put on a pair of Hunter’s shorts and rolled the waist band down so they fit me a little better.

I exited the bathroom to a knock on the door. I slowly made my way to the door and could smell someone on the other side, they smelled of magic. It was an electric sort of smell, like the smell of a thunder storm when the lightning hits the earth. There was a more weaker smell of herbs under it as well.

“I can sense you on the other side of the door dear, Hunter sent me to check you over.” The feminine voice called from the other side of the door. I opened it slowly and peaked out to see a very stunning woman smiling back at me. “My name is Anya, I’m an old friend of Hunter’s. May I come in?”

I looked at her for a little while before opening the door more and stepping aside for her to come in. After she stepped in I shut the door behind her. I turned and looked at her noticing her golden eyes and and markings all over her exposed skin. She was a stunning woman and I kind of felt self conscious being in the same room as her. She had said her and Hunter were old friends, did that mean that they were close romantically? Was she his lover before me? I instantly felt irritated with being in the same room as her. She was this beautiful, powerful African goddess that demanded attention with her full curvy figure and mesmerising facial features.

“You have nothing to worry about child, your mate and I are just friends. You needn’t look at me like a threat.” The witch said, even her voice was beautiful and melodic. “ you can ask questions while I check your aura and soul if you would like. I’m sure you have many questions. I know I have many for you as well.” She said motioning for me to sit on the edge of the bed.

“Sorry, Hunter didn’t say anything about you being a woman or having history together.” I said as I sat down on the bed.

“That’s alright dear, I imagine he didn’t think it would be an issue. I met Hunter when he was only in his thirties, I was asked to help the Queen, Prince Nicolas’ mother. He was a very serious man when it came to his duties but was very lonely.” She replied. He didn’t seem serious when I had first met him in the prison cells. He seemed like a small child that had just spotted the best toy in the store.

“How long have you known him for then?” I ask as she slowly runs her hands around my body, I wasn’t sure what she was really doing other than checking my aura and soul but I didn't know how that actually worked. It just looked like she was looking at something around me instead of at me.

“Hmm, well, I met him in his thirties and that was when the prince was a small child so about a hundred and ten years give or take.” She said, still looking at something around me. “He is about a hundred and fifty, I’m not sure exactly how old he is but I know it’s somewhere around there. It’s hard to judge age when you’re as old as I am.” She said smiling.

“I’m only ninety years old, I’m so much younger than him. Doesn’t that repulse him?” I speak to myself aloud. I did that sometimes when I was trying to work my thoughts out.

“Sonya, Hunter has waited for his other half the entire time I have known him, your age difference doesn’t matter to him. If the fact he came and asked me to check you over instead of just having one of the pack doctors is anything to go by, I would stay he is very serious about you. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t have asked me to check you over thoroughly. In the time I have known him, he has never wanted anyone else but his other half.” Her hands had stopped moving around me. “Your aura is intact, you don’t seem to have any external injuries. That’s good, I think Hunter would go on a rampage and kill who ever hurt you. Now, can I please get you to lay on the bed for me so I can check your soul?” She asked. Well I knew I didn’t have any external damage.

“Can I ask you something child?” Anya asked as I got comfortable, giving her a nod. “What we’re your parents? One of them had to have been a vampire but what was the other?” She asked, I was confused, my mother never told me who my father was before she died. Just that he was a strong warrior.

“My mother was a Vampire but I never knew my father. Why do you ask?” I answered.

“I ask because your ears are slightly pointed and it’s not common for Vampires to have two different coloured hair. If you would like, I can see if I can find anything while I check your soul?” Anya asked me.

“Yes please, if it’s not any trouble.” I reply with a small smile. It would be nice to know something about my father. I had always asked my mother questions but she had just brushed them off and told me it didn’t matter, he wasn’t in our lives anymore.

I lay still on the bed while Anya placed her hands on my head and over my heart and closed her eyes. A green glow started to grow bright from her hands as she quietly muttered something to herself. I wasn’t sure what she was saying but the green glow got brighter and brighter the longer she spoke. After a couple of minutes, the glow started to fade until it was completely gone. Looking at Anya, she had a smile on her face.

“Well, good news is I know what your father was. Bad news, you have a little soul damage from the eighteen years of isolation. With the help of your mate being close, your soul should heal with in a few weeks. I tried to help stimulate the damage to start healing but I wasn’t able to do much. There is only so much magic can do.” She said as she removed her hands from my body and I sat up.

“So, what did you find out about my father?” I asked with excitement, it would be the first bit of information about him I would get and I wanted to know as much as I could.

“Well, based on the earth magic I found in you, I would say he was a woodland fae and with how strong that earth magic was I would say he was at least a distant relative of a royal, maybe a second or third born prince. But your mothers Vampire genes are a lot more dominant, I would like to work with you until we find Talbet, he is much more skilled in the elements. I want to see what fae abilities you have if any. If that is alright with you?” She said.

Wow, my father had been a fae, I wonder why my mother never told me. Had something happened that resulted in him leaving? Did he leave because he didn't want to be with my mother or have a vampire child? So many questions were running through my head.

“I would like that, I want to know what I’m capable of.” I reply, I wanted to be as strong as my mate and my Queen, I wanted to make them both proud of me. I couldn’t help my former Queen during the attack but I would be damned if I didn’t do everything in my power to protect her daughter.

“You will feel a little tired child, soul checking can be tiring on both the caster and the patient. Spend some time resting before tonight. I understand that Hunter has something special planned for you and you will need all your energy to survive the Princess and the future Luna of the pack. From my understanding they are wanting to get to know you better while they help you get ready.” She said with a wink. Oh goddess, what are they going to do to me? “Don’t worry child, they just want to do your hair and makeup and help you get ready for your date.” Anya said with a laugh. She gave me a wave as she headed to the door. But before she got there I quickly yelled out to her, causing her to stop and turn to me with a smile.

“Um, thank you for your help Anya, and um. . . Thank you for being there for Hunter when I couldn’t. I don’t hold any ill feelings towards you if you both had a romantic relationship before he met me. It wouldn’t be fair of me to hold that against you both.” I said with a blush, gods this was embarrassing.

Anya gave a little laugh before she spoke, “Hunter and I have never had any sort of Romantic relationship. I used to flirt with him in front of others so they would leave us alone long enough to talk but nothing more. He has always wanted to wait for his soulmate before having any kind of intimate relationship. He knew that when I was flirting with him it was because I could see he was struggling and that he needed to talk out his frustrations. Most of the time it was because he hadn’t found his mate or the Prince’s were getting into mischief. He was their guard after all.” She said with a laugh.

“So, he has never had um. . . s*x before?” I asked with a bright red blush on my cheeks.

“No child, he hasn’t and judging by that look on your face you haven’t either. Would I be right?” She asked looking at me with a similar look my mother used to give me when we talked about personal subjects like puberty, boys or mates. I shook my head to indicate that no I hadn’t ever been with a man. “Don’t worry, Hunter is a gentleman. He wont rush you, if anything you may have to rush him because he wont realise when you’re ready because he will be so worried about upsetting or hurting you.”

After that Anya said her goodbyes and left. I was alone in the room now, thinking about everything Anya had said. He waited for me, Hunter had waited so long for me. I wanted to throw my arms around him and tell him how must I cared for him, how thankful I am that he came and found me and saved me from my prison. I would spend the rest of my life making sure he knew how much he meant to me. I would get stronger so he wouldn’t ever regret accepting me. At some point during my thoughts a wave of tiredness hit me and I drifted off to sleep, dreaming of the moment my handsome saviour came for me.

…………………….

I started to stir awake, to be greeted by a feeling of a warm body next to me. Slowly I open my eyes to see my handsome mate asleep next to me. I lay there just watching him as he took slow even breaths. He looked so peaceful, like a sleeping angel. His blonde hair had fallen over his face, it just made him look childlike. Gently I caressed his cheek, slowly moving his hair from his eyes. I jolt away at the sound of the door being knocked on, but Hunter didn’t stir awake.

“Hunter? Hunter, someone’s at the door.” I whisper as I gently nudge him. His movements were so quick I didn’t even register them until I was wrapped in his arms with his nose buried in my neck. I try to nudge him again but his grip only tightens around me. Another knock comes at the door along with the sound of two feminine voices yelling. I couldn’t really make out what they were saying. I guess I’m going to have to nudge Hunter a little harder to get his attention. As I nudge him, he startles awake and jolts backward off the bed with me still in his arms. We land with a thud on the floor, my legs are straddling his lap as he stares at me with wide eyes.

“I’m sorry, did I hurt you?” He asks looking my body over for any injury.

“I’m alright, you wouldn’t wake up. . .” I was interrupted by another knock at the door and this time I could make out what the voices were saying on the other side of the door.

“Hunter, stop pleasuring your mate and open the door!” one of the voices said only the be met with a slap, “ouch, what? It’s not my fault they are having sex.” Giggling I get off of Hunter and stand up, offering him my hand. He takes it and stands up in-front of me just watching me as l stand there blushing at the hungry look in his eyes. Another knock comes from the door, snapping Hunter out of his lustful gaze. Quickly running his hands though his hair, he walks to the door before opening it for the women on the other side.

“Captain, Miss Alice.” Hunter said with a slight bow, causing the princess to wave off his gesture.

“Hunter, I have told you not to do all that royal s**t with me. It weirds me out.” She said as he moved to let them enter the room. I started to feel self-conscious about my appearance, I was still in Hunters clothes because I didn’t have any of my own to wear.

“Wow, I love your hair! It’s so badass!” The blonde woman said excitedly as she came over to look at me. “You’re really pretty, Hunter you lucky man.” She said smiling at us.

“Alice stop, you will freak her out.” My princess said as she dumped some bags on the bed before coming and giving me a hug. “ We insisted on bringing the clothes Hunter asked for ourselves, and to whisk you away to get you ready.”

There were so many bags, I don’t know how I had missed that they had them when they first came in. “Have a look and grab something that will be easy to get in and out of. There is some wrap dresses in that bag there and the one next to it has underwear for you as well. I’m not sure what they actually got you but hopefully there is something in there you like.” My princess said with a smile as she pointed to the bags she had mentioned. I head over to the bags and have a look, there was a wide range of dresses, but a blood red wrap dress caught my attention and I pulled it out to get a better look at it. It was beautiful and was a similar shade of red to my hair.

“Damn girl, you’re going to look bangin’ in that dress!” The blonde I now know is called Alice. I blush and say a quiet thank you to her before I move on to the next bag that holds a bunch of underwear. I grab a matching bra and bottoms and instantly blush scarlet red, Oh my gods. There was hardly anything to them, there was this tiny strip in the back at I was sure would ride up my backside.

“That’s called a thong or a g-string.” Alice said with a giggle. Rummaging through the bag I find that most of them are like that. I quickly grab a baby pink set and the dress and rushed off to the bathroom.

After I was dressed in my new under garments and dress, I exit the bathroom to find my handsome mate whispering to both women but quickly stop once he noticed I had exited the bathroom. His eyes racked over my body, taking in every curve. I looked away with a blush colouring my cheeks.

“You look beautiful mia dea.” He said as he came and placed his hand gently under my chin so I would look up at him. I hadn’t been expecting him to place a soft kiss on my lips though, I was a little shocked but I liked it, but it was over way too quickly for my liking. It had been my first kiss, it was just a small peck on the lips but it had ignited something in me. I wanted more, I wanted more than just one kiss.

“Enough of that you two, we have some work to do. Let your mate go so we can do our thing with her.” Alice commanded, I giggled at the little groan Hunter let out at her words. “Come on girl, I want to get my pamper on.” She signalled for me to follow them but before I changed my mind I quickly stood on my tip toes and planted a gentle kiss on Hunters lips before I quickly rushed off after the girls that had now started to walk out of our room. I quickly looked back at a stunned looking Hunter as he rubbed his fingers over his lips, like he was savouring the feel of my lips. I gave him a quick wave before I shut the door after me.

I followed the two girls just a little way down the hall to another room that was so must larger than Hunter’s room. This must be the room the Prince and Princess were in, it was massive in comparison.

The two girls pulled me over to another door that when they opened it revealed a beautiful bathroom with a tall chair set up by the bathroom sink. They pulled me to sit in the chair and started to give me huge smiles.

“Um, what are you planning to do to me?” I asked shyly, I was so out of practice with other people, even though I knew they wouldn’t hurt me I was still worried about what exactly they had planned for me.

“Sonya, Hunter asked us to help get you ready for your first date, he wanted you to experience the entire pamper thing and it gave us a change to get to know you.” My princess said with a soft smile.

“What is involved in being pampered?” I had never had that before, it sounded weird almost like a form of torture.

“Well, we are going to paint your nails and do your hair and makeup, then we will help you pick a dress to wear for tonight for dinner with your handsome man.” Alice said with a wink.

“But I’m already wearing a dress, why do I need a different one?” I asked a little confused, did Hunter not like the way I looked? Was I not to his liking?

“Oh hunny, you look hot but we are going to make you sexy hot, he wont be able to keep his hands off of you when we are done.” Alice said while she held up what looked like a torture device.

“Wh- what is that!?” I almost yelled. It looked like a little pair of scissors with a weird looking end on in, it looked like a mini guillotine.

“Oh, this? It’s an eyelash curler, it helps make your lashes look more noticeable by curling them up.” she said as she made the little scissor guillotine open and shut. “It’s alright, we wont hurt you with any of these.” She said as she placed them down and I notices all the other items on the bench. I was becoming a little nervous about this, maybe I could just convince them I didn't really need all of this stuff to get ready.

“Alright, lets get these nails done first and then we will sort out makeup and hair. Alice, lets keep it simple.” The princess said to her friend before they started. “Now, lets get Mission Badbitch makeover underway.”
