Chapter One
It has been three years since I got here. I am still sleeping with a sword in case someone tries to come and take me again, although it hasn't happened yet.
I can see the stars in the night and the sun rising in the morning from this room, although that window does not open.
I'm still waiting for Damon to come tell me breakfast is ready.
There is a knock on the door and I get up to answer, Its Damon he's my mate. He comes to get me for breakfast at the same time every morning like clock work.
" morning" he said, " good morning" I smile at him when we're walking down the corridor to the dining room. He sits across me and asks me what I did while he was away. " I read mostly, you know how I am".
He smiles and shakes his head slightly " I'll take you into the garden later, i know how much you love it". I nodded and blushed, slightly embarrassed he must think im boring who spends all the time read, oh yeah i know boring person.
I looked up at him and asked how his trip to waterlilly pack went. " It was fine the Alpha was bit of a d**k though, he accepted the deal to serve under the queen". I nodded and drifted off thinking, I was so caught up in my own thoughts i didn't realize Damon was talking to me till he touched my shoulder, i jumped slightly and felt little sparks from where he touched me and I blushed slightly.
He smiled and led me outside and watched me as I played in the garden and layed in the sunshine. He left for a minute and came back with some grapes and handed me one.
He laid down next to me, smiling when he looked at me he reached over and stroked my cheek with his hand. My heart skipped a beat and my face went red again and i smiled. " you know we have to leave soon" he said, looking at me.
I nodded and started to stand but was pushed back down by Damon " don't, we can stay for a bit longer". He put an arm around my waist and pulled me back to him laying on top of me he kissed my neck.
My mind was racing but I tried to remain calm as his kisses moved from my neck to my jaw and then down my chest. Everywhere he touched my i felt little sparks and it felt amazing and my wolf liked it too, I could hear her purring in my head.
He stopped kissing my lips and began to slowly nibble on them and i moaned softly. Suddenly he stopped and sat up. " I have to go i'm sorry". He got up quickly before I could protest and walked back towards rhe house.
I was speechless. I just laid there completely stunned. What was happening? Why was he doing this? Was he attracted to me? My wolf howled in protest to our mate leaving. I decided to go upstairs and try to sleep, if anyone asked I had a headache.
I closed my eyes and silghed, when I heard Damon call my name " hey....its time for dinner" I didn't even look at him or respond. He sighed and walked away, i got up and went to the dining room and took my food to my room.
I didn't eat that night, i fell asleep reading my favorite book. In my dreams he'd be beside me and kiss me and hold my hand...and sometimes I'd reach out to touch his face only for his hands to push mine away. In real life he kept walking away.
Sometimes I thought maybe I had imagined the whole thing. Maybe he never really wanted me after all. I didn't know anymore. I woke up and stretched my arms and yawned, i rubbed my eyes and look around not remembering when i fell asleep last night.
A knock made me jump. It was Damon " your going to be late for breakfast, please hurry" he said not looking directly at me, he must feel guilty for yesterday.I felt my face flush, I got out of bed and ran downstairs to the dining room.
Damon followed me, everyone was already seated i gave everyone a small smile and sat down. We ate in silence until Damon spoke up " I have something to show you" He turned to me and grabbed my hand not waiting for my response and started dragging me with him upstairs.
We stopped outside a door. Damon opened it carefully and let go of my hand. Inside were many candles, flowers and pictures of us together, along with other pictures of us.
I stood there shocked not knowing how to feel. Damon took a deep breath " i'm so sorry...i should have never left so abruptly the other day". I shook my head trying to find words but couldn't, most of theses pictures were of me in the garden.
I walked around the room slowly looking after everything, i cant believe he has all these pictures...i thought he didn't want me. His voice interrupted my thoughts " I've always felt more connected to you than anyone else and now i've found out you might have feelings for me too..i figured it was time i accept my feelings for you".
Damon looked so hopeful i couldn't help myself anymore i threw myself at him. His arms wrapped around me and he buried his face into my hair kissing my neck softly. I wrapped my arms around him tightly.
He pulled away slightly " i understand why you would have thought i didnt care and i'm sorry for that" he added looking me right in the eye. We both leaned in and our lips met.
This kiss was different than the others and neither of us had ever felt anything like it. Our kiss went on forever. Eventually we broke apart gasping for air. We stared at each other our hearts pounding.
" I've missed you so much" i whispered. Damon smiled and kisses me again this time more roughly...yet somehow it was still gentle. He rested his forehead against mine and his warm breath brushed against my face, i closed my eyes and let myself be lost in the moment.
" I missed you too mate" he pulled away and placed a soft kiss on my forehead, then on my cheeks, then on my nose, then he stopped and looked at me " you know i want you right?". My head was spinning.
" Yes" I whispered, he smiled hugged me tightly. After a while he broke the embrace and said "you should rest Mia its getting late". I looked at him confused, he laughed a bit and pointed at the window in the hallway.
I gasped, it was dark outside I couldn't believe we were in here so long. We had a lot to talk about but not tonight. Damon held my hand and led me into my room and kissed me goodnight before leaving and i couldn't fall asleep that night because all i could think about was one person....Damon.
