Dragon Prince Fairy

Chapter 7

Tyr

My mate tried to leave me again. Finding her stuck in the window was hard to hide my amusement. At the same time, it hurt. This morning, I had to leave to clear my head, I felt my heart break. I phoned my parents again to see if they have found a cure. It was still a no. the only thing they knew about this curse that they could find was I couldn’t force her to the mate bond, or the curse would make her hate me more each day we are together.

I went into town and done some shopping for her as I’m sure she would like a shower. I made sure to buy everything a woman would need. Some of the shop ladies was either over me or falling over themselves that I was buying my mate stuff and thought it was the sweetest. Humans are strange.

Walking around town I just kept thinking. Fairies are very secretive, and their magic is strong. The way she has wanted to run away from me, it stung. It kept making me wonder if she had another mate out there that ran from but still wanted.

I always thought growing up I would have a love story like my parents, but it seems I will have to make a choice instead. The Goddess’s dreams came into my head, my mate was always with me, sometimes in bed, other times I was chasing her, a word always whispering in my head, help. With visions it is hard to tell, but this time I always got my mate, I just never got far into the dream to break the curse, this I have to figure out myself.

When I finished with the shopping I went back to the hotel, but I couldn’t leave the car straight away. I just sat looking at the hotel room. I will fight for my mate like my dreams, I just wish I knew how to fight and break this curse. The one thought that going in my head. Do I bring Aurora home with me, hoping one day she will accept me, or do I walk away from my mate and let her be happy living her life.

Both choices faced with heartbreak.

If I must walk away from my mate, I will step down as the next king, passing on to one of my siblings. I would move to the human world to watch over Aurora. Even if she moved on, I would watch over her and keep her protected. I don't want her thinking I have abandoned her if I walk away. I just want her happy. Even if it means heartbreak for me. For years I have dreamed about her, so I couldn’t move on. It would never be the same. Her purple hair would always be in my dreams.

I went to a food place close by to buy us some food as I know Erik wouldn’t leave her side. Going back to the hotel with food, we ate in silence. When Aurora spoke to me, it felt nice, but it helped me towards a decision, I see she was trying to be nice, and I see the longing to get away from us. She didn't like the quiet it seemed.

The way Aurora looked at me hurt, as if I was a stranger. I hoped her going in my bed would help as she would have my scent to smell, maybe this would help her, but seems it was for nothing. I needed to sit down and talk with her I needed to get her story. I am leaning hard to where she has another mate. If she has, I will walk away as I couldn’t take her away from that mate, it wouldn’t be fair.

When she went for a shower, I spoke with Erik about looking for his mate. Erik told me he knows she isn't here. He can't feel her here in this town. I thought more about everything, I know Erik wanted to speak about what was going on in my head, so I gave him a small piece of information on what my parents told me.

Sitting on the sofa, thinking in my own world, my heart breaking, I had to make my decision. Draco woke up, and we had a chat about it. He wasn't happy our mate tried to escape again. I told him about my decision, and he wasn't happy with either one, but he understood.

Getting ready for the night, Aurora came out of the bathroom. I let her take the bed again. Draco set up for the night shift just to watch over her again, to watch her and take her in just in case it was one last time.

Tomorrow, I will talk to her I need to know where I stand. I need to know her story. With this thought in my head of another mate, hurt, but I wouldn’t hurt them by taking her away. Why the Goddess gave her two and make a choice I wouldn’t do that to her. I would take that on. Tomorrow if she doesn’t pick me, I will take her back to her hotel. I will pay for her to have more time so she can find another job.

I will go back to the tribe and step down and then move to the human world. I will make sure I look after Aurora. I need to accept that she doesn't want me. Thinking about it today, all she has done is question me and try to escape, so I will let her go tomorrow after our talk. Hopefully, one day, my parents will find the cure for her curse.

I know I sound petty walking away, but I know it is the best decision. I want Aurora happy, and if she is not happy with me, I do not want to barge into her life and push myself on her.

I wonder how my sister is doing. It was late, but I needed to ring her. Slipping out of my makeshift bed, I went outside and rang Elin. She picked up quickly and sounded like she had been crying.

I wanted to fly over to where she is and beat the living crap out of who has upset her. Elin told me it was nothing she couldn't handle and changed the subject about me. I told her about Aurora, about the curse the Goddess showed me in my dreams. I told her that she may have another mate out there and I wouldn’t take Aurora away from them.

My decision I would make.

Elin screamed at me down the phone to not give up, let her come to me, that's when I interrupted her, in the books about this curse, she never will come around. It will make her hate me, feeling trapped. Never would she be happy with me. I wouldn’t break a mate ship up.

She begged me to stay a week and try, maybe she would feel something for me, maybe I was over thinking about the other mate thing, and the reason she would escape is she is probably scared and think I am going to hurt her, Aurora is just putting on a brave show being with me.

I never thought about that. In the shifter world we find our mates and that’s it, we either accept or deny. The deny is extremely rare but has happened. I don’t know anyone who has gone through this. Mum’s friend Katy and her mate Conner accepted each other but held off on being mates for a while and didn’t mark each other but again they got to know each other and had accepted each other.

I said goodbye to Elin and went back into the room. I sat on the sofa and spoke with Draco about everything. Before I knew it, it was morning. I had been up all night.
