Forbidden Love With The Dragon Prince

Chapter 3

The soft sand on the shore under my feet was something I've never felt before, the scene behind me was picturesque, the reflection of the setting sun on the waves was captivating, something I've never seen, I was mesmerized by the sheer beauty around me.

The blue tidal waves lapping at my feet somehow brought me back to reality, I suddenly remember that I'm on the run and right now, standing here in the open may not be the best option.

I painfully turn away and stalk barefoot towards the forest beyond, not waiting to put on my pink dress and sandal which I held with a tight grip.

The uneven forest floor and the plants rubbing against my almost bare body made me stop my trudging. As I wore my clothes and sandal, I happen to pick up different sounds from the forest, I sat by a tree trunk, enjoying the calling of birds, the chirping insects, toads calling to their mates . . . a sad smile crosses my face as I remember that my mate, one who is meant to love, protect and comfort me has found comfort and pleasure with non other, than my sister.

How am I supposed to live with that?

How am I supposed to forgive that? if he didn't know that she was my sister, I would have tried, maybe his explanation would have made sense.

Even if he were not to be my mate, he was betrothed to me for f***s sake, if he liked ruby more than me all these while, why didn't he just say so? why keep quiet and allow me to have hope, why break my heart in the worst possible way? If I didn't find out his secret, would they have continued their affair behind my back? Would he have developed any affection towards me? If I didn't turn out to be his mate, would he have felt the need to explain his actions?

I had so many questions, yet it was obvious I won't be getting any answers, especially not on this forest floor, The darkness around me would have scared me on a good day, but I was so overwhelmed by grief that I didn't care if a wild animal would find me here, I found a nook between the root of the tree I was sitting on, I crawled in there, it was not too big, but it was big enough to hold me, I used my hair to cover myself as the darkness of a dreamless sleep overtook me.

Talon POV

I had always embraced my sexuality, as a merman, we were bisexual in nature, maybe due to the fact that male sirens were more in population than the females and the fact that we were mated in triads consisting of at least two males and a female.

It is believed that the fact that only the females possess the 'Siren song', that is why they are so rare.

The siren song is a potent ability, possessed by mermaids only, This power is rooted on their unique voice box why happens to be a hybrid of a larynx and a syrinx at the base of the trachea.

It is described as almost supernatural since it is able to lure a who hear it towards the songstress.

It is very appealing and alluring on the surface but ultimately seductive, deceptive, dangerous or destructive depending on the mood of the songstress at that particular time.

I have nothing against them, but they seem overated to me, that is why I have lived my life to the fullest, thankfully I have not found my mate or mates for the past three years so I have had several willing sirens in my bed.

It will shock you how loose and willing sometimes desperate, mermaids can be, that is why they seem overated to me.

I have longed to meet my male counterpart so that we could bond and share as many girls as we can while waiting for our female counterpart, but that has never happened.

I was angry when dad had come with a marriage proposal from the Prestons, I had outrightly rejected it, I revered the mate bond and I wanted to find my mates,and besides, everyone in the entire kingdom knew how power hungry the Prestons were and they were just using their daughters as a bargaining chip, but my dad threatened not to hand over the pack to me if I don't comply, I tried to make him marry off one of my three younger brothers, yes I know that was selfish of me, but I was desperate, but dad bluntly refused, claiming that they wanted their daughter married to me or no one else.

Power hungry fools.

Their daughter Ruby was not different from them and she was loose, there's hardly a c**k within the pack she has not ridden, the girl was not yet 19, yet more than 80 percent of the mermen in our pack have f****d her, I was wondering how I would tie myself to the pack slut when my dad informed me that it was actually Manny, their adopted daughter that I was getting married to.

Not much was known about the girl since she kept mostly to herself, but I was convinced that she would be as conniving as the Prestons since she grew up in their household, but over the years, I have observed her, and she seemed . . . different.

She was the best graduating student in her class

She did not look down on class, seeing as her best friend was one of our worker's daughter

Her beauty was outstanding

Her unique hair made her stand out in a crowd

Because of her, I had almost stopped my philandering ways, almost being the key word.

I became enthralled by her, watched her from s distance and approved of her behavior, it seems the Prestons finally did something right by raising their adopted daughter right.

Her 18th birthday was fast approaching, and I saw my self looking forward to our engagement, I even went out of my way to buy gifts for her.

The day before her birthday, everything was ready, As I was wrapping her gifts, dad walked in, when he found out that they were actually for Manny, he was impressed and happy for my change of heart, he informed me that he was about to have a meeting with the Prestons, if I'd like to be present, I quickly declined, I may have come to like and respect Manny, but her parents were a different case entirely.

I had just stowed away the gifts in my walk in closet when I heard my bedroom door open, I walked in to meet a half naked Ruby on my bed.

"What are you doing here?" I asked her in astonishment.

" Awwwwwn, I know that you are dreading tying yourself to my boring sister, so I came to relieve some of your tension" she drawled in what I believe she thinks is a sexy voice.

" Sorry I don't need your services." I answered in an annoyed tone, turning away from her, before I could walk towards my bathroom, I felt her hug me from behind.

" Common babe, you don't have to transfer your aggression, I know exactly how you feel and I can make it all go away.'

"You don't . . ."

"Come here, let me give you a head, you know I am very good with my mouth"

I couldn't deny that fact, it was known throughout the pack that Ruby gave the best heads.

Against my better judgement, I allowed her to drag me towards the bed.

"You're overdressed for the occasion" she cooed as she seductively removed my clothes and her remaining garments, making me smirk at already sagging breasts.

I felt a nudge in my head that this was wrong, but I wanted one last fling before tying myself down to someone who wasn't my mate, right?

right

I closed my eyes as I felt her tongue lick up my shaft, enveloping me in her warm mouth, a moan escaped my mouth as she bobbed her head up and down, I used hy hands to guide her movements, Ruby was really good, more than good, her gag reflexes could allow her swallow my big c**k whole, I closed my eyes, leaning in as I hit the back of her throat repeatedly only letting her come up occasionally for breath before resuming our rythm.

I was about to blow my load when all of a sudden, she stopped all movements, I looked at her wicked green eyes in confusion.

"you didn't think I was going to get some fun for myself?" she asked, smirking at me, I shake my head, trying to clear the confusion, she stood up, pushing me on the bed, I landed on my back, my erection standing at attention as she sultrily climbed on my d**k, her wet p***y, swallowing my c**k whole.

"mmmmm, this is soooo goood." she cooed, bending her head backwards as she started to wind on top of me, I moaned as sensations started building in my body, I knew I would not last too long, and I hoped this will be the last time I take any other girl that is not Manny.

My Manny, the thought of her beautiful shape she tries to hide in hideous clothes makes me approach my orgasm faster, when we get married, I will ensure she doesn't hide anymore, I'll make sure other men are jealous of what they can't get, Ruby is moaning and groaning her head off, but I'm imagining Manny's p***y on my c**k, then Ruby says something I least expect.

" I love you"

I actually don't know what I mumble at her and I particularly don't care, all of a sudden, I feel the need to make her leave and never show her face to me again, those words were like an anti climax.

All of a sudden, my room door opens, from my angle, I can't really see who is at the door, but the fact that Ruby smiles and moans louder makes me strain to see properly.

Blood drains from my face as I see Manny standing there, immediately our eyes lock, I here the word I've been longing for for a while now

'mate'

What!, at such a terrible timing?

Her siren is at the fore front, confirming my fears, then I see her regain from her shock, and pure rage overtakes her features, before I can move, she bolted.

I moved quickly, dumping Ruby hard on the floor.

"What the . . ."

I ignore her as I grab clothes from the pile we made earlier, running blindly after Manny, I tried to dress in the process, I realize I had grabbed my sweat pants and Ruby's bra, I dumped her bra, wearing the sweatpants before bolting towards the corridor where Manny had disappeared.

Luckily, she is not accustomed to our cove, so I catch up easily to her, I call out, but she ignores me, I would ignore me too, just as I round the bend, I see her in the arms of another man.

I couldn't hep the growl that ripped through me, that was before I recognized the aura and realized that it was one of the siren Prince.

All through the talk in the office, my eyes wouldn't leave my mate, but she wouldn't meet my eyes, I knew it would take a lot of convincing, a lot of begging, I was ready to grovel if that is what it would take, I don't know what cruel joke this was, I know im mostly to blame, how can my actions drive away the most important person in my life, I was close to crying, the Alpha siren in me not minding the fact, was ready to do anything to get her back.

I wasn't really paying attention, I was lost in my head, the next thing I know, she's bolting away from the office, I'm about to go after her, but the prince is blocking the way, he doesn't allow anyone through, the Prestons are shouting over their voice, my father is trying to control the situation, I'm pleading to go to .y mate, but he wouldn't budge, then he says the only thing I don't want to hear right now.

"You don't deserve her."
