Forbidden Mate

Chapter 15

The sun shines in lighting up the entire room.  Smile spreads across my face as I turn over towards Alaric only to find he isn't there. But a note is left on the pillow. 

Good morning Mon Amour, 

you looked radiant as the sun kissed your skin this morning. I have left as to not raise any suspicions with you know who. I have today all planned out for us. I have left a note for Oscar saying that I am meeting with some old friends and won't be back until tomorrow. You will have to inform him that you to will not be back until tomorrow. There is a car and driver down stairs. I can't wait to see you 

A x

I can't contain my excitement letting out a girly scream, getting to spend more time with my s*x on legs mate. I take a quick shower and pack a small bag with a change of outfit. I tie my hair up in a high ponytail and pull on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. I quickly apply a small amount of makeup before grabbing my converse and heading to the living area. 

As I walk in Oscar is sprawled across a sofa. 

"Morning" I smile 

"Not so load" Oscar grumbles at my overly chipper dermeaner. 

"Well you will be glad to know I'm meeting some friends for a girly day and I will be back tomorrow. Can you let Alaric know as well please. Don't fancy the lecture on how a princess should act" 

"Hahaha yes can you imagine, Princess Aria remember you are a royal, a Princess should not be seen in that sort of outfit. Think of our status" 

As he mimics Alaric I can feel the anger rise in me and I snap " yes I get the point but also remember your place as I do mine he is a king and we are of lower rank than his so show some respect" 

"Touchy much this morning, go do what ever you are doing" he dismisses. I storm to the elevator and take it down to reception where I'm directed to my driver. 

The drive takes us our of Paris and I have nonidea where we are going until we pull up outside a rather spectacular looking hotel. That's when I see the sign. Disneyland hotel. 

Yes I did let out an overly girly squeal and jump out of the car. And no you are never too old to love Disney!!!!. I enter the hotel and I'm met with the main staircase leading to the upper floors. I know back home we have one like it in the shifters Palace but there is something so magical. I take a moment to look up and spin around as I do I bump into someone and the second I feel his hands on me I know it's him and wrap my arms around him. Taking in his amazing cinnamon and chocolate scent. Now my obsession with cinnamon all makes sense. 

"You look exquisite as always Mon amour" she croons. 

Taking a step back I take in Alaric's appearance. "Never imagined that you owned normal clothes. I mean chinos really. I honestly thought all you wore were suits" I can't help but smile. 

"I can put a suit on if you would rather?" 

"Hell no, I love this look on you. I don't feel so under dressed" 

"Lets go" he says taking my hand and leading me through to the other exit of the hotel to the park entrance. We are shown into the park. I'm in awe. I feel like a child again and I can't help but pull out my phone and start taking photos. I drag Alaric up main street with me and get us in front of the castle. Turning the camera towards us I take a selfie with the castle as our back drop. 

Okay some of you may be thinking, but she's a princess, surely she lives in a castle or Palace. Which yes I am and yes I do but it is nothing like a fairytale castle. It's all so magical and makes me feel all giddy. 

I look at the photo of us and we both seem so happy. Like genuinely happy. My mother always told me growing up the love of a mate is true happiness. Which I thought was nonsense but now I know she's right. We began to explore the park taking photos as we went and riding the roller coasters and I even managed to get him on it's a small world. But apparently now I owe him big time. 

We pick up waffles with Nutella and continue our day. Honestly forgetting about our royal status, forgetting the issues we face. Just a day laughing, having fun and getting to be normal. 

"Aria" Alaric starts rubbing the back of his neck. "I ugh, I've booked us food but you can say no if you don't want to. I only did it as I thought it would be funny" 

"Okay care to tell me where?" I ask suspiciously. It's not like him to be nervous or what ever he is right now. He points in the direction of a restaurant. "You booked us lunch with the princesses?" I squeal. 

"Yea but only if you want to go. I mean I know we are really royals but thought it would be something different" I throw my arms around his neck and pull him in for a kiss. Only a quick peck as I don't think everyone around us wants to see us getting hot and heavy. 

"Let's do it" I pull at his hand towards the restaurant. Aa we arrive at the doors we join the small cue of people waiting to go in and be seated. Once seated we have champagne brought to our table. As I take my first sip I catch the scent of blood. Panic sets in as I haven't seen Alaric feed this entire trip so far. As I look to him what we're once perfect cobalt blue eyes with flecks of violet swirling around them I'm faced with eyes that are slowly being consumed by red. 

Supernatural vampires only need very small quantities of blood to survive and most can just survive with animal blood. 

"Hey, when did you last feed" I whisper as quietly as I could, concern evident in my tone. 

"I don't recall, but if I don't soon it's not going to be pretty" I let one of my canines protrude from my mouth and nick the top on my finger "what are you doing" he questions pulling my hand away from my mouth. 

"What you can feed from me until you can get some" we are interrupted by the waiter wanting to take our order. 

"2 duck trios and 2 rare chef special steaks and we will have the cinderella shoe desert. Can you bring the starter and main altogether as soon as possible" I ask as politely as possible. 

"Can you feed off me? Just to tide you over?" 

"No never, I could never do that to you. You know our bite contains an addictive venom and I would never do that to you" 

"I know but you can bite and not I just your venom. It was only an offer any way" the princesses start to make there rounds to the tables and cinderella stops at ours we have a quick photo and then she spends spends little to long fussing with Alaric who is paying her no attention. She keeps saying how he reminds her of her Prince Charming. I can feel my anger rise and I try so hard to contain my growl. How dare she touch my mate. A low growl slips from my lips.  Alaric can sence my displeasure and takes my hand placing tender kisses leaving little fireworks over my skin. I get so wrapped up in his eyes that neither of us had realised she had left until the waiter started to place our food down on the table. 

"Merci" I say quickly dismissing him. 

I take my stake and place it on  Alaric's plate who waist no time I  cutting in and eating the blood dripping chunk of meat on his plate I watch him intently and his whole demeanor changes to one that is relaxed and his perfect cobalt blue eyes with flashes of violet are back. "Better?" 

"Much" he says wiping  stray bit of juice from the corner of his mouth. I can't help but laugh at his mannerisms. 

"How did I get so lucky?" The rest of the meal went by without any more drama and we laughed and just spent time getting to know each other better. I mean there is so much he has done in comparison to me. He is after all close to 500 years old
