THE FORSAKEN ANGEL

Episode 35-Nina's mate

Dylan after getting Nina up to the room they had pointed out for them, since she was going to be staying in with Lily, Lily definitely have no idea about it yet because she wasn't going to take it slightly. There was no way she would agree to sharing the room with a demon but that moment, it was something he casted away to worry about later.

"Are you feeling any better?" Dylan inquired as he took a seat opposite Nina who was suddenly staring too much at him.

"Yes...I'm better now" Nina smiled at him, something she hadn't done since they met.

"Look I know you're stressed out, I know it's hard for you right now but you shouldn't shut the world out because of that. It's not enough to hate everything" Dylan reasoned but Nina just sighed then stood wanting to get off her clothes but then Dylan brows furrowed after she tossed away her jacket.

"What are you doing?" Dylan asked shooting to his feet.

"Well as you can see I'm trying to get off my dress...would you help me or not?" Nina asked pulling her hair aside for Dylan to help with her zipper, an action Dylan hesitated on for a minute before setting to it and after the dress was off, Nina ignored her presence and let if fall off to the ground, leaving her in her lacy blue bra and black leggings running from her stomach to her leg, Dylan instantly looked away in an attempt not to violate her.

"It's okay, you can look" Nina said unclasping her bra.

"You're attracted to me" Nina's statement had Dylan's frown deepening but he couldn't do anything.

"But you're also attracted to Helen, in fact she occupies the largest space in your heart and you can't seem to convince yourself to move on" Nina spoke reading him like the palm of her hand.

"How could you-

"I can portray your thoughts, emotions...I'm a mimicker" Nina smiled taking allowing her body to slowly transform into Lily's form but she slowly transformed back.

"If I want to mimick someone's else's shape the first thing that'll flow through me is their emotions, so I always know" Nina smiled moving closer to Dylan who for a minute hold his breath until Nina's lips touched his.

"You're my mate" The demon princess revealed.

"Mate?" Dylan's eyes dilated and his view blurred for a minute.

"Maybe human angels wasn't gifted mate but demons are gifted with mates-

"What are you saying?" Dylan questioned but instead of saying anything, Nina lowered her lips to his exposed chest and lay the trace of her lips which burned Dylan and make him groan as smoke emitted from the area.

"I'm sorry Dylan but you're mine now" Nina eyes met his.

"What did you do to me?" Dylan demanded to know but Nina clashed her lips to his instead and Dylan felt a new type of sensation, passion ignite in him making him making him hungry all of a sudden, just not for food.

Dylan's kiss grew hasty, hot, passionate and he just couldn't wait to get between Nina's thighs but the door opened to reveal a shocked Helen and immediately Dylan and Nina raised up their heads and instantly turned towards the door making Dylan grow wary, self-conscious and guilty all of a sudden.

"Helen it's not what it looks like" Dylan defended poorly leaving Nina hanging as he moved away from her and immediately started to fix his pants.

"Seriously? How does it look like, here I am thinking you've changed, and you claimed to love me but here you are sleeping with a demon again, you do have kinks for demons don't you?" Helen scoffed then turned away and started leaving but the Dylan ran after her and held back her hands.

"Helen trust me it's not what it is...she did something to me-

"Oh please, don't that excuse never gets old?" Helen turned abruptly to face him, his eyes expressed guilt and he wished there was something he could do that could make her believe.

"I didn't know what I was doing" Dylan tried to explain but Helen shut him up with her palm raised.

"You claim the same thing with making Dylan scoffed and confusing Helen the more.

"Why on earth does it matter if I explain anyway? You're never going to believe me...and why does it matter if you believe me, you're a different set of Angel...angels gifted with mate but I don't have that privilege, the one made for just you...you've already gotten that, you wouldn't let me love you because of him, and what if what you saw is true...you won't ever love me anyway. Why does it matter?" Dylan scoffed and left Helen's jaw hanging.

"You know what, carry on...it's definitely none of my business" Helen turned and walked away making Dylan heaved a heavy sigh before heading back to the room where Nina was waiting for him.

“This was all your fault” Dylan blamed pointing a finger Nina who stood with a remorseless expression on her face making Dylan even more mad.

“I think it’s time you should accept Helen is in the past and nothing you do can change that because she has a mate now and even her can’t change that; a mate is everything to our kind, I never thought my own mate would turn out to be the lowest of Angels, I mean look at me; I’m a royal demon but I’m bounded to you…you for eternity, what a terrible twist of fate-

“How can you be so sure I’m your mate?” Dylan snickered feeling his shoulders sag at Nina’s declaration.

“That night we decided to rest instead of coming to find Princess Angela right away, your scent suddenly changed from totally vulgar human to a sweet delicious scent of chocolate missed with honey perhaps the most amazing scent I have ever perceived in my life…and I started to move towards the direction of this scent then I found you laying on the floor and smelling like a delicious snack, I knew that moment you were my mate, it took me everything in me not to imprint you immediately, mark you as mine, declare you a territory bound but I wanted to wait but I get a little impatient after getting here and realising you still have deep feelings for the princess, I can’t deal with that-

“Was that the reason you snapped at her?” Dylan asked with a look of terrible disbelief.

“Part of it but I cannot-

“So because my scent changed and I suddenly smelled delicious to you like a snack you are willing to devour anytime soon you put some silly mark on me-

“You don’t understand Dylan; you are my soul mate, and that mark on your body…is called imprint and it allow me to be able to sense you, track you and share your emotions and right now you already believed me but you are in terrible denial” Nina said walking slowly towards the bathroom after letting down the last piece of clothing she had on him.

“You will come to understand Dylan but I hope you will forgive me for not going into details before I take matters into my own hands” Nina slipped into the bathroom after her last statement and what Dylan heard afterwards was a sound of the shower which he ignored and moved to the room assigned to him to have a proper bath of his own, when he arrived back into the room clean clothes were already waiting for him so he just pulled them up and moved back into the sitting room to see how everyone was doing but then he met Helen on the stairs, their eyes met briefly as they stopped to give each other uncomfortable glances before they Helen immediately head away from him.

Dylan joined the others downstairs but none of them was acting welcoming except Lily who decided to talk about Andrea with him, then Nina joined them making it seriously uncomfortable for him to focus since he hasn’t quite digested what Nina told him yet and also, Nina was acting a little clingy, her hands were everywhere on him and it was putting him in a more difficult situation.

“Did something happen between you two as you took her upstairs?” Lily was forced to ask after noticing the sudden proximity between the two of them.

“Nothing much, just that he’s my mate” Nina declared and everyone around instantly frowned.

“He’s an angel with no mate, an human angel-

“But I am a demon and I have a mate whether he is a human angel or not” Nina interjected Pearl who suddenly got interested in the conversation after sitting with her head on her mate; Jasper’s shoulder in total silence for what seem to be half an hour.

“So-

“A mate to a royal demon?” Lily muttered and all of a sudden something occurred to her and she grabbed the edge of the black T-shirt which Dylan had on and pulled it aside to see the imprint on him.

“What the heck is wrong with you Nina, you imprinted him?” Lily questioned but Lily gave a blank face.

“What’s an imprint?” Alex was the first to ask as he had been dying of curious since the two started clinging on each other.

“It’s a mark demons give to link themselves to their mate but Nina this a very rash decision, the line of the royal demons continues through you, if anything happens to Dylan you life will be in jeopardy, this is not the time for this, you could get him killed he is a target once people find out you’re already linked-

“The link isn’t completed without the mating” Nina tried to defend but Lily know better.

“But it had already being activated, once your mating season comes you’ll have to finish what you started-

“What are you guys talking about?” Helen asked as she slowly walked back downstairs.

“Well, Dylan got himself a mate” Alex was the first to announce to his mate who instantly turned to Dylan with a face full of questions but didn’t get to ask any of it as she suddenly felt herself being pulled to sleep by a powerful force.

“Angelique” She muttered trying to fight the force but it was too powerful.

“What’s happening to her?” Dylan almost immediately asked as Angela struggled.

“Princess Angelique wants an audience” Lily declared ruefully before Angela slowly fall but right into Alex arms.
