Dragon Prince Fairy

Chapter 6

Aurora

I stayed in the room, talking with Erik. He told me about Tyr, stories growing up, about his twin sister. When Erik said about his twin, it made me think about my sister. She will be 20 soon, old enough for marriage. I hope my parents don't use her in place of me. I should have made her come with me. Fought harder to drag her away.

In the fairy land, we do not meet our mates and marriage until 20. Some have never been lucky to find their mates straight away. Thankfully, we are immortal. Erik spoke about his family, both of us killing time. I couldn’t tell him about my story or my family in case they are here to find me for my parents. I noticed Tyr has been gone for a while, and I started to worry about him.

Talking with Erik has given me something's to think about. Am I missing signs of him being my mate. He is gorgeous, I want to climb him like a tree. He smells is just mouth-watering. Never have I felt like this with anyone. I was usually very shy around men, I may act confident, but really, I am shy around them. With Tyr, I feel comfortable, and my true self comes out.

Growing up, I was free as a child, learned how to be a princess, and then at 12, the other king took an interest in me. I was then prepared for the king to be his wife, his queen. I never knew the plans they had for me or that the king took an interest in me at first. Before my 20th birthday, I ran to the portal and ended up in the human world.

My 20th birthday, I celebrated in my hotel room. My 21st I was working in the club. A happy birthday to me that was. Having this curse placed on me from the age of 12 to never find my mate, I learned to accept it, that I am to be alone or be a chosen mate.

I do not know how to rid this curse on me. How will I be able to accept Tyr as my mate if I can't tell who he is? My feelings are conflicted.

Talking with Erik helped me to think, but again, I just don't know what to do. Am I going to accept Tyr and question my whole life if he was my real mate, because if he marked me, I would never find my real mate if he wasn’t my real mate. Before I could think more on it, Tyr came through the door. He had bags of food with him. He looked at me and gave that small sad smile again. My heart hurt seeing that look on him.

Sitting and eating in silence, it got to me. I felt I was back in the palace again. The king I was to marry didn't allow people to speak when he was eating. He was so stiff and a horrible man.

"How was your day, Tyr?" A stupid question, but I just needed to break the silence.

Tyr looked surprised. I asked this. "It was good, I spoke with my parents, and I hope you don't mind, I got some clothes for you." A blush went across Tyr's cheeks telling me he brought me clothes.

After we ate, Tyr went to the car and pulled out some shopping bags. The blush never left. He looked so embarrassed. This intrigued me and made me wonder what he got me. Rummaging through the bags, I see clothes and at the bottom, underwear. I looked at Tyr, who was scratching the back of his head, I wanted to laugh.

A big, confident man like him, blushing and shy. Keeping my laugh in, I got up, signalled for him to bend down, and kissed his cheek, thanking him.

"I am going for a long overdue shower." skipping into the bathroom, I looked through the bags. Yes, I took them with me. A new toothbrush, razors, was also in there, and is that, no way, sanitary towels and tampons.

Oh, cue, the swoon a man buying these!!!

Being around the human men most was against getting these for their partners or wife. It seemed a taboo situation. Some men will do it and not think anything on it. Turning on the water to heat up, I pulled out what I needed.

Scrubbing myself raw and shaving, I felt like a new woman. Having a toothbrush was nice instead of just using my finger to brush my teeth they now felt clean again.

The clothes Tyr got me fit me perfect, how did he know my size? A question for another time. I put the underwear on and got dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. Before I had never worn anything like this, always dresses. The jeans I fell in love with when I first wore them. Back home girls in royalty was never allowed to wear anything but dresses.

Growing up that way I never knew anything different, but when I came to the human world it confused the life out of me. when I first got my pay-check I went shopping and the girl felt sorry for me. I told her I always have been made to wear a dress.

Coming out of the bathroom the guys was just sat talking. They stopped when I came out. Tyr gave me a smile and nodded looking at the clothes.

‘’I’m glad they fit. I was worried trying to figure out your size. I hope you like them.’’ Tyr asked me.

‘’I love them and thank you for everything you got me.’’ I left it there as I got the answer to him knowing my size.

I sat on the bed, Tyr on the sofa, and Erik on his bed. We went into a silence, and I wasn’t sure how to feel about it. It felt a comfortable silence but being quiet I hated it all because of that king. I feel he still rules my life even to this day. When I first made it to the human world I really had to learn how to act not like a royal. Now I am learning to be in quiet with people around. Someone must have seen me be uncomfortable as the tv switched on. This did make me feel better as some noise in the room and the tv will take their attention. I wonder how long they will keep me here.
