Dominance of the Curse (Link x Reader)

CH 1: You

"I've already told you. I'm not interested, so please leave."

The man's face scrunched up into one of annoyance as he continued to annoy the living daylights out of me, but somehow managed to keep his 'nice side' going. I merely watched him with a forced smile on my face as he continued his advances, clearly confused with what a refusal meant.

"Oh come on sweetness. You know you don't meant that. Everyone around the city knows that my power is the most amazing out of everyone else. It's fate that brings us together, with me, the chivalrous knight continuing to pursue his true soulmate; the only one he finds worthy of loving in his eyes."

My insides squirted with disgust at how forward he was being. Miraculously, I managed to keep my vomit at bay as I said in a much more aggravated tone, "I have told you time and time again, and I will keep telling you until you understand. Please leave. I don't want to be your fiancé, Rulal." I had tried to say it in some sort of a gentle tone so he was able to get his pompous head around the fact that I seriously disliked him. Sadly, that would have been asking too much. He soon revealed a teasing smirk, as his chestnut hair swished slightly from its ponytail, his golden eyes gleaming with mischief.

"Oh? What's this? You cheeky little minx. Are you forcefully trying to get me to chase after you? I must say, you're doing a rather splendid work of it. It's not just anyone who can keep my interest for this long. Then again, with an intoxicating scent as well as breath-taking Lycos like yours, it was bound to happen one way or another."

I slammed the metal that was currently in my hand onto the counter, making him raise an eyebrow at my sudden move, but he didn't so much as flinch. Then again, it was to be expected. He was training to be a Captain of the Knights of the HCME (Hyrule Castle Military Elite). How do I know this? Because he comes to tell me. Every. Single. Day.

"Here is your order of Golem metal, as per the request yesterday. Now please leave," I no longer decided to give him a fake smile, but a seething glare. He simply smirked as he took the metal from the counter and placed it in his pouch, walking away as he said in his cocky tone, "I'll come see you tomorrow my beloved! I expect a shipment of new SP crystals for one of my friends who asked me to ask you." He closed the door before I could throw my show at his smug face.

'That bastard! He takes every request from materials from his fellow knights so he can talk to me everyday! The nerve of this p***k! And to think my image will be reflected considering he is a frequent customer to everyone else who comes in to shop here... Ugh, what an awful loop.'

I sighed in annoyance as my head hit the hard wood of the polished counter. "I honestly wouldn't have minded being his girlfriend at least if he wasn't renown for being a complete heart breaker of girls."

I had heard rumours from my best friend Anju that he was persistent in finding the best mate for himself. He would mark any weaker Lyca that he caught interest to, spending only moments with them until finding a better suited partner. And his standards were only, sadly to say, beauty and strength in a Lycos. Therefore, once apparently seeing me has abandoned his current mate and is now constantly pining after my exhausted form whenever he gets the chance.

It is an unfortunate circumstance we live in. The world has always been like this cycle. Every single individual who is of Hylian race is born with a Lyco, a wolf spirit that grows as we grow. And as we reach the age of ten, we see our spirit emerge before us for the very first time as a separate being. These wolf forms of us are like our secondary natures, and are always partnered with another being. It can be compared to a soulmate idea. And in our wolf transformation, we can unlock a sixth sense that attracts us to various smells that radiate from other people. We can smell emotions as well as other people's natural scent. But if we appear deeply affected by someone else's smell even in human form, they are either our soulmate or someone rather powerful. But if paired with that there is a certain feeling that is almost painful in your heart, then it is surely your soulmate. The latter cannot be explained in Rulal's case. He is only attracted to me due to my Lyca apparently having a powerful scent. He wants that power, as well as the satisfaction of making me his little Luna (another term for wife in the wolf hierarchy).
