The Chosen Mate

Chapter Seven

Previously on The Chosen Mate.

Mine' my wolf spoke. Oh s**t it's out.

I leaned closer to her neck and my crannies ready to mark her. If she's my wolf's mate, then who is my vampire's mate.

My fang came out also to mark her. My gum were aching. The shift between my wolf and vampires crannies/ fangs were aching my gums.

The wolf is fighting my vampire to mark her first and vice versa.

"Damon, I feel a sharp thing on my neck. Is that a fang"

I retract my fangs and looked at her neck and sigh. I haven't marked her yet.

I looked at her and she whispered.

"Is that fang and are you sure you are not a vampire?"

Prince Damon's POV.

I froze and feigned innocent.

"No I'm not. Why would you think that?" I answered.

I quickly thought of something to say before she asks any further questions.

"Lucy, set something up for Hayley to eat. I'll be in my room"

"Why?" Oh geez. Must I eat with her? I just want to leave this place. My wolf wants to mark her so badly. What excuse can I give her inorder for me to leave here?

"I want to make a business call." I lied.

"Please just taste this. I want to know how it tastes. I cooked it myself. Ehm, I want ---" I cut in

"OK Hayley, I'll have dinner with you" she wrapped her hands around my waist hugging me tightly. She unwrapped her hands around me and looked at the floor.

What a shy little thing!

"Sorry, I didn't mean too. Ehm I'll just go set dinner. Ehm I'm sorry. Ehm---" I chuckled and shushed her. I like this shy side of her.

"Hayley, its okay. Go set the table. I'll be right back"

She left and started setting the table. I saw Lucy smiling.

"She's your mate right?" I nodded.

"You are a lucky one, Master. She's unique. Don't make her cry okay. She is very beautiful and smart. Very shy and bold at the same time. You are really lucky. Many would wish to be in your shoes right now" I just nodded looking at Hayley.

Hayley was busy with the food while I was admiring her. She's beautiful.

'Mine' my wolf groaned. I need to leave right now. I left the table and went to my room laying on the bed.

Hayley's POV.

I glanced towards the table and Damon was not there.

I looked around, he wasn't there. Did I do something wrong? Maybe, he's angry because of the insult. I should apologize. I know he provoked me but I shouldn't have said those hurtful things, right?

My phone started vibrating and I looked at the caller. It was mom.

"Mommy"

"My baby girl. How are you?"

"I'm fine mom"

"Mom, I got the job at AGRIPPA AND SONS OIL COMPANY. I'm the King son's personal assistance."

"Wow, I'm so proud of you honey"

"Thanks"

"Are you eating and taking your drugs?"

"Yes mom. How's dad?"

"He's doing good"

"Can I talk to him?"

"Yes of course"

"Daddy"

"Hay, I heard you've gotten the job"

"Yes dad"

"Are you taken your medication?"

"Yes dad."

"When are you visiting?"

"I don't know but I'll come when I'm less busy"

"OK Hay bye"

"Bye Dad. Bye Mom. I love you both"

Love you too" they both said and I hangup.

I need to give Damon his food right? Since he wanted to make a few business calls.

I went to his room and knocked the door. I heard a 'come in' and I did.

"Ehm Damon, I brought dinner." I announced.

"I'm not hungry" he said

"But ---" he cuts in "Hayley, are you on medication?" I nodded.

"What's it for?"

"It's just headache Damon. I swear. Now please eat OK"

He looked at me for a moment before eating the food.

"It's delicious" he said. I know my cheeks are crimson by now due to him complementing my food.

"Thanks"

"Have you eaten?" I shook my head 'no' in response.

"Want some?" I shook my head.

"My food is on the dinning. I'll eat okay. You just eat"

He put the spoon in my mouth to spoon feed me and I shook my head

"No Damon, eat. I'll eat mine soon. I'll go downstairs to eat then come here to collect the dish."

I was about to leave when I felt a hand holding mine. I looked at Damon and he pulled me back to him.

"Hayley" he whispered in my ears. I gulped knowing how close we were. He bent and felt my lips with his. When he was about to claim it, his phone rang.

"f**k this" he cursed groaning.

I left the room quickly smiling. This is the third time he almost kissed me. I was happy he felt disappointed when we were interrupted by his phone ringing. That means he wanted to kiss me. Damon Agrippa wanted to kiss me.

I went downstairs to eat my food and saw Lucy smirking.

"What happened up there?" Lucy asked looking amused.

"I don't know what you are talking about"I answered.

"You are blushing"

"I'm not"

"Whatever helps you sleep at night"

*******

It's been three weeks since our almost kissed incident and I haven't seen Damon. He's been avoiding me. Anytime I see him, he pretends I'm not there and it frustrates me.

What did I do to deserve this?

What have I done to make him hate me again? Does he hate me now?

Has he ever liked you? My subconscious mind said

Fair point, subconscious.

I go to work alone and come back alone.

When I was through with work, I went through the elevator and I saw Damon and the receptionist in AGRIPPA AND SONS CONSTRUCTION COMPANY making out.

That's why he's been giving me silent treatment.

They must have felt my presence and we made eye contact. I quickly left the building and went to Damon's apartment.

When I reached home, I cried because I felt stupid.

I cried because he had nothing to do with me.

I cried because I'm starting to like Damon.

I like Damon Agrippa. My biggest mistake was to like Damon Agrippa.

I heard the sound of the door and I know the obnoxious mosquito is back.

I took a shower and I drifted to darkness.

I felt someone touched me and I stood up quickly to see Damon.

"Damon."

"Hayley, I brought your meal. You need to eat okay. I also came to apologize Hayley, Liliana kissed me. I didn't kiss her back." He explained. I felt relived he explained.

I looked at him. "I don't care Damon. I don't. Do whatever you please. Okay" he looked at me and smirked. "You are not angry" I nodded.

"So If I kiss a lady and you witnessed it. You won't be unhappy?" I shook my head saying 'no'.

"If I go downstairs and kiss Lucy, you wouldn't care right?"I gulped thinking about what he said. Would I actually not care? Of course I would care.

"Just as I thought" he muttered.

He moved closer to me till there is no space between us.

"If I were to kiss you now" he stopped and bit his lips looking at my lips "would you stop me?" I looked at him before leaning and crashing my lips against his.

I stopped and looked at him. "I'm sorry Damon. Oh god what have I done. Damon hmmm" he cut me off by pressing his lips on mine. I kissed back.

He pulled back and looked at me

'Mine' he claimed me before pressing his lips on mine roughly. He groaned like an animal more like a wolf. Werewolf.

I pulled back and looked into his eyes.

His eyes has changed into silver. I touched his face and his eyes changed back to chocolate brown.

What was that? What is he?

I finally asked.

"What are you?"
