The Chosen Mate

Chapter Fifteen

Prince Damon's POV.

It's been years since I've seen Hayley. She has been assumed dead since we've not seen her lifeless body. Three years of pain and tortue.

My wolf, Dimitri has been unhappy for years. I missed her also.

After hearing the gunshot, every thing in me died. I made a mistake by listening to Magnes. Why did I leave her with him?

When I got to the palace and asked where Hayley was. He said he never came to the house. I remember those threats.

Those shifters must have taken her away from me for my father's throne. Why did they do that? Why did they kill her? She was so innocent. So pure. So loving. It was impossible not to fall in love with her.

They have always wanted the throne but why? My father had no enemies.

When Magnes told me he never came to my house, I almost died. My parents looked at me with shame and regret. Regretting they brought a beast to the house but why?

Harold hated me so much and I don't know why?

My father step down for me to succeed him even though he never wanted to but because of the pressure of the people.

I became King and led the people well with Rose by my side. She's not yet Queen. I don't want her to be.

I was always imagining how Hayley would look like when she becomes Queen.

She would be beautiful beyond reason. My sweet Hayley.

She made me realise that being in love with your mate is different from the connection you feel from your bond.

I love Hayley but realisation dawned on me that it's already to late.

My father informed me about a business trip at New York City. He told me to leave immediately telling me that he will run the affairs of the kingdom.

I took Rose with me. We will be staying there for some weeks I guess.

I haven't even marked Rose yet as mine because strangely I still feel this bond between Hayley and I.

I don't want to lose it yet until I'm sure I can move on.

I went to the company because of the meeting we have with share holders.

I was driving when I saw Hayley walking along the road. I must be imagining things. She can't be the one. Hayley is long dead. She can't be alive.

I stopped the car and went after the lady. f**k the meeting. I need to know who she is.

I touched her and she turned to look at me and I saw her. I saw the love of my life.

The girl I want to spend the rest of my life with. I felt my wolf rejoicing.

"Mark her. She's yours. Mark her or I will." My wolf groaned.

I just ignored him.

"Hayley." She looked surprised like she wanted to cry but she masked it in a blink of an eye.

"Do I know you?" I smiled at her. I now realize that they lied to me. They planned this that's why he never wanted to release the throne.

My mother was angry and Harold was furious with me. They planned this. It was all their doing and now she pretending she had lost her memories.

Has she forgotten I'm a vampire and can hear her heart beating against her chest.

With my vampire speed, I pushed her to an empty hall way.

Her back was against the wall with her eyes wide open.

"What are you?" She knows how to act. She's good. Really good.

"Hayley, don't lie to me. I know you like the back of my hands. I know you Hayley. Why are you lying to me. I can hear your heart beat. Are you not happy to see me?" She gulped.

"You ran away from me for years. I thought you died Hayley. I thought you died. I was confused. Rose told me some kidnappers called and when I answered the call, I heard the gunshot." I told her truthfully.

"Don't lie to me. I heard your voice. You said you didn't care. You said they should kill me because of the crown and the throne. I guess that was more important than me. You never love me. It is her you will always love." She cried out. I hate seeing her like this.

"Hayley, I swear I never picked that call except" wait the shifter. How did Rose come to my room? How did she know my phone was ringing? I was with Hayley but when I came out I couldn't find her but Rose.

The shifter must have shifted into Rose or they are working together. Something is not right.

"The shifter. When I couldn't find you, I searched the house. I turned the house upside down. I couldn't find you. I came back to the room only to find Rose answering the call and I heard gunshot. Tell me it was Rose you heard?" She shook her head.

"It was your voice I heard your voice, Damon. Are you saying that the shifter that shifted into you the night at the palace received the call like you were the one and shifted into Rose when it heard you coming?" I nodded.

I hugged her. My baby girl. I kissed her lips. That lips I missed so much.

"Where do you live?" I asked.

"Two blocks away. Why?" She answered and I kissed her lips again.

I pulled her towards me and whispered "let's go."

We left. We arrived at the apartment. It was okay.

Looking at how beautiful the house was, I knew my father gave her this house but if it wasn't the shifter that kidn*pped her then who did?

Or was it my father? If not how did he know where to find her?

"I know you want to know everything" Hayley said and I nodded with a smile.

"Magnes came to the room and made you believe your father wanted to see you so that you can leave." Hayley said.

That son of a b***h. I am going to kill him.

As if reading my thoughts, Hayley held my hands tightly.

"Let me finish before you kill any one, okay?" I nodded. She knows me to well. No one does except Dimitri, my mom and dad. Sometimes Magnes since he is a warlock.

But she knows me better than I know myself.

"Magnes was sent by your dad to kidnap me. Your father told me you wanted to take revenge on my family especially me for the death of your twin brother." She continued.

When I heard the last part 'Especially me for the death of your twin brother,' I took a deep breath as sorrow filled my heart.

"He wanted to know if you love me for me or for the throne. I told him that he doesn't need to conduct a test because you love me but he insisted and I agreed. They called and you answered. At first you beg them not to kill me but when the throne was mentioned, you gave them the go ahead to kill me and you, Damon killed me with your words." Hayley cried.

I kissed her senselessly whispering 'I miss you' I sucked her bottom lips. She opened up and I explore her mouth with my tongue. I kissed her neck inhaling her beautiful and delicious scent.

'Mine' my wolf groaned out

She heard it and chuckled.

"Do it already. I want to be yours and you mine." I smiled before sinking my cranies into her neck marking her.

My fangs came out and marked the other side .

"Mine" I said and we began to pleasure ourselves with love and lust in our eyes. Moaning and groaning escaped our mouths as we made love whispering I love you at each thrust.
