Dragon Prince Fairy

Chapter 12

Aurora

I cried the whole walk down I just couldn't stop. Like at the hotel when a damn had broken and I couldn’t stop. My eyes felt sore, and my nose was stuffy, but as promised to myself, when I get to the bottom, I will change, I will be me, but better. I know I will always be on the run, but I am going to live my life also. I will move towns every few years and when I run out of towns, I will figure a way to move countries. No more am I going to worry about having friends, I will just be me and me alone. I am not going through rejection no more or pretending to be a friend. The wall is now around my heart. I am done.

Not realising anyone was on the track until I nearly walked into them. The man threw me off as I thought it was Tyr, but looking closer, I see this man is older. The lady standing next to him also looked like Tyr. Was this his other family?

"Sorry I won't keep you, I just wanted to see the person who broke my son’s heart, who rejected him." The man squeezed the lady to his side when the lady said this. She was also crying. Before I could say anything a voice, Tyr's voice spoke behind me.

"Mum, dad, what are you doing here?" I spun round and took Tyr in. He didn't look at me. He just kept his eyes on his parents. I felt another tear leave my eye.

"I'm sorry Tyr, I just wanted to see your mate, as I may never have the chance." Tyr's mum spoke quietly. She looked heartbroken. The man Tyr's dad stood quiet, holding her.

"Sorry son, you know I can't stop your mum when she gets an idea. It was an innocent meeting. You told her about your mate, and she wanted to see her just once." The man spoke, and even his voice was familiar to Tyr.

I felt so awkward standing here, wishing the floor would just swallow me. Tyr had told his parents about me, but I didn’t understand the rejecting I thought Tyr had done it. With shifters they had to do the rejecting. The man and woman spoke with Tyr and then the man turned into a dragon and flew away with the lady on his back.

Tyr stood still watching the spot they were in. I'm not sure what to say, I grabbed my suitcase again. Getting ready to walk away. Tyr never looked at me. He shut his eyes, taking a deep breath and swallowing, and started to turn his back on me.

Did I see a tear? There was no way Tyr would never be a man who cried. Erik suddenly appeared and slapped Tyr on the back. Erik gave me a small smile and a nod in greeting.

I felt like s**t. I have ruined everything as usual. My trust issues and problems back home, I have now hurt the kindest man I know. Who wouldn't look at me no more. Surely he is happy with his new mate, he should have got a second chance. I hope he did take a second chance and not a chosen.

Erik passed me an envelope it was thick. Nodding for me to walk away, he pulled Tyr with him to go up the mountain. On the front, it read, read it now, and choose or walk away and lose everything.

My emotions again felt conflicted. Why would Erik give me this, I don’t understand, I have lost two good friends and Tyr isn’t my mate, if I was, he has moved on. Erik looked back at me again and nodded to the envelope.

Not caring, I tore it open, reading the letter where I stood.

Aurora

You will need to destroy this letter after you read it. This letter is to help you with your future. Tyr is your mate, he feels the sparks and your scent, he said you smell like candy floss, to me you smelled like a sweet shop. His grandparents confirmed this.

Tyr has dreamed about you for years and was never allowed to leave the tribe. It was never the time. You being a fairy, I believe it was for a reason as you weren't here in this realm.

Tyr's parents mean you no harm. Dimitri, his dad, and Ase, his mum are lovely people.

Ase had a bad start to life and understands why you would run away. She has always wanted to meet her children's mates, and Tyr and his twin Elin are the oldest she couldn't hold back on meeting you.

As for Tyr not being himself and holding back. That is not him abandoning you or turning against you. It is just him protecting his heart. He will never take anyone else, a chosen or a second chance. Tyr is giving up his position just to be able to follow you, to watch over you in the distance, even if he must feel pain with you being with someone else, he will sacrifice himself for you to be happy.

As you didn't want him in the week, we were all together, and he accepted your rejection, even though I believe you never knew you were doing it. Then, being given the news, you would hate him and never give him a chance from your curse. He again sacrificed himself for your happiness. That is all he wants is you to be happy. He would never force you to be with him. He learned a saying in the time at the human world and keeps saying it, if you love them, you will let them go. He is going by that. We heard a couple of men in a café talking. One man said that to the other and it has stuck with Tyr.

Tyr doesn't know about this letter, this is why I say you must get rid of it. Tyr is my brother, and I will not let him be unhappy. Please make a choice, come to the tribe and give him a chance, and work alongside him to find the cure for your curse.

Or reject him and walk away.

To reject him, you need to say Tyr, I Aurora reject you Tyr as my mate, my future, my everything.

You can do where you are now. The Goddess will listen and break your bond. It will hurt, and you will feel pain. If he rejects it back, it will hurt a lot more pain, but you will both be free. I can’t let him walk through life being hurt and I will not let him leave his tribe,

I am sorry, but I must protect him.

Please, I beg you Aurora, if you do not want to be with him, let him go, please.

I know you will do the right thing.

Your friend

E

I broke again. I felt like crap reading this. How can I reject him if he isn't my mate. Again, a 50/50. I dropped to the floor and just cried. I don't know what to do. I feel I have already lost Tyr. My pride and old wounds pushed me away. Could I pick up my pride, go and find him, and give him a chance?

I don't know.

I walked into the forest and just sat under a tree, I felt lost. A few hours passed when the sun started to come up. Watching the sunrise, I asked the air what to do. A breeze blew past me, and I heard the whisper from the spirits to go up the mountain.

I did come here to get answers, and I did like Tyr. Was he my future, my happy ever after I have always wanted. Again, my heart wanted to follow up mountain, and my head told me to walk. What if he is like the king and just wanted me for a reason. I can’t believe the king is still ruling my life my choices. I am so messed up in the head and reading everything in that book just made me sick and hate my parents more.

Everyone in my life always wanted me for a reason. Then there are the stories we got taught growing up about shifters, how they just took who they wanted as a mate. Was this Tyr wanting to take me as a mate? A chosen.

Will his real mate come along and take him away from me, or would he share us? These are the other stories that we heard about shifters. Most took a mate and then found theirs. They either discarded their chosen or kept both mates. I couldn’t handle the sharing and I couldn’t handle the discard.

Picking myself up off the floor, I made my decision, even if it breaks my heart. I must do this for me, for Tyr.
