~Tejus~
Standing in front of my father he says
"I'm glad you decided to join my efforts. We've been away from our fellow creatures for long enough, and when the other Kings approached me, I decided it was time. As the Royal Prince of the sentry's. I've arranged for you to go and spend a few weeks at the Royal lands with all the other princes and start building a relationship with them. If all goes well we will be moving to the settlement with the other Royals. And start Integrating ourselves back into their society. Don't do anything to mess this up Tejus. Our kind need to start finding their true mates. And I know you, no sleeping about and don't mess with their potential lady friend's or mate's. Why you're at it, I suggest you start looking for a match too. Who knows, maybe you'll find your true mate." I grit my teeth on all of this. I hate being ordered about. And told no. I always do the opposite so he's an idiot for telling me not to do that stuff because that sealed the fate of me doing exactly what he doesn't want me to do. They will still take us. We're royals. I can't mess it up.
"Yes father" I say through gritted teeth
"You leave tomorrow. Don't disappoint me!" And with that he dismisses me. What a douche. I go to my room and pack my bags. The only reason I agreed to this is because of Decan. Other than the fact he threatened my mother and little sister, he's paying me. Once everything is packed I climb into bed and text one of my many booty calls and enjoy my night.
I don't wake until noon. Not because I woke by myself no. My father banged on the door then barged in. He sneers at the girl laying beside me. Making her leave.
"Tejus. Get up, you leave in an hour for crying out loud. You best not behave this way while you're there! You're going to be the next king. Start acting like it." He leaves and with I sigh I get up and get ready which doesn't take me long. And when I'm ready I go say goodbye to my mother and Calisus, my little sister.
When I arrive it's around 1 o'clock. I can dissipate, which is what we call our version of travelling, like demons blink and Witches teleport. I'm getting stared at as I stand at this wolf fountain. Waiting for one of them to come meet me. After 10 minutes of utter boredom and checking all the girls out that walk past me. Some guy comes up to me and says
"Tejus? Hi. I'm Keelan. If you'd like to follow me. I can show you around a little before taking you to your room." I just look at him and nod. He starts walking and I say
"What about my things?" He looks at my feet where my bags are and waves his hand and they disappear.
"There in your room. Let's go" I already don't like him.
"What's your problem man? I don't have to be here! I can leave"
"I'm sorry, I have somewhere to be. But the others who you will meet in a moment were busy so here I am!" He says annoyed
"Fine! Let's go then. The sooner this is over with the sooner you can get back to whatever it was you were doing"
He showed me around where the shops are located and the hospital. Then we get to the 'sentry's section of the Royal and that they've been helping out on. That's where I meet the others. Zander, Dravon and Sebastian. Apparently I'll meet the other 2 when he shows me their arena and training facilities. When we reach the arena we go through some gates that make up the entrance. And when I look up I see the hottest girl ive ever seen, sparring with 3 males.
Fuck me, she's hot. Zander and the others start making their way over to her and the closer I get. The more I can smell her already. Thinking perhaps this is the girl Decan wants me to deceive. I put the feeling of being pulled to me in her head. When she looks at me, I give her my pantie dropping smile. She frowns! And looks at me in disdain. Oh this shit is gonna be fun.
"Little mate. Let's go get some food. Caleb and Keelan can continue this later. But it's well past lunch and you haven't eaten….. grrrr. Don't start, little mate. Shadows ready for round 2!" What the? She didn't say anything yet he's replying like she did! As she starts walking away i say
"Heeelloo gorgeous!
I hear them all growl. But she looks behind her and back at me indifferently. Points to herself eyebrows raised
Is he talking to me? she scowled then looked away from me. I wanna hear her voice out loud. She has a beautiful voice.
"I don't see another gorgeous girl around" I say but she rolls her eyes.
*"Then you're not looking hard enough!"* I hear the guys chuckle at that comment. I step up to her almost touching, not yet tho. I'll save the sparks for another time. Plus I do need to confirm this is her. Though with the way they all reacted, I'm pretty confident she is. I smirk at her, then I'm being pulled back.
"Stay away from our mate" the fae says. Still smirking I say
"I think that's up to her don't you? Can you not speak for yourself? What's your name, peach?" She scoffs at me and I hear her inner thoughts.
I certainly fucking can. You just can't hear me! And do I look like fruit to you? Honestly
"You definitely look sweet and juicy enough for me to devour." She blushes and clears her throat
weird it's almost as if he heard me. You have no idea sweetheart.
"Are you deaf Tejus? He said ''stay away from our mate!" One of them says through gritted teeth. What was his name again?
"Oh I heard. But until she tells me her name or tells me to stay away, I think I'll keep pestering her. So sunshine, what is it?"
Fuck he's hot. And those tattoos really do make him sexier. She thinks licking her lips I smirk and her eyes go to my mouth.
Shit. He did not just catch me checking him out. My smirk gets bigger
"Well?"
My name? It's Nunya. Nunya business!
I laugh at that and they all look at me like I'm mad.
"Her name is none of your business. Come on dragonfly, let's go." Chuckling I say
"I'll be seeing you Nunya" she turns, giving me a questioning look. That's right princess, I'll be all over you soon enough.
"Tejus!!"
"What man!! You're gonna show me where I'll be staying. Don't get your panties in a wad"
"Follow me" he says through gritted teeth then his thoughts of
why the fuck is he making comments at our mate!? Can't even do anything either, our dad's would have our arses! I snort and follow the demon and notice the witch looking at me funny
"What?" I say
"Hummmm nothing. It's Just curious!"
"What is?"
"Nothing" He smirks and walks away...
Fucking dick! It annoys me when people do that! Make a comment so you ask about it only to not tell you nothing. Just to bug and drive you nuts, wondering what the fuck there on about. And he didn't think anything for me to hear!!
"Hey dude?"
"It's Keelan, and what?"
"Right right, KEELAN. What's her name then? And what was the witch curious about?"
"I'm not telling you shit about our firefly and the WITCH is called Caleb and I have no idea, you'd have to ask him. Here's your room. This is mine and the others numbers if you need anything. Get settled and one of us will come and collect you for dinner around 6. Be ready." And with that he walks away. I go into my designated room and see it's large with a king-size bed and ensuite bathroom, and out the sliding glass door there's a hot tub and mini bar. Sweet. When I know they won't be coming back any time soon, I dissipate to Decans abode and push through the wooden doors.
They bang on the walls as I enter making everyone look my way. I smirk at them all as they look at me in contempt. Ha like I give a fuck what they think. We all know why I'm doing this! Money and my family. Plus I wanted to see who all the fuss was about.
I walk Into his greeting room, where strangely he always seems to be! And he looks up at the intrusion. Leaning back in his chair he greets me.
"Ahhh. Your highness. How did it go today?" He always looks at me with a sneer. Fucking drives me bonkers
"I've been shown to my room. I'll be there for a few weeks making alliances and shit. I met the girl. Long brown hair? all the prince's all over her!? She's hot! Already planted the pull so every time she's around she will feel it. Just like you asked. What do I do now?"
"Excellent. Now make her fall in love with you. I'm sure you can manage that?"
"Easy. And I've been told I'm great in bed so getting into her knickers will make that easier. But what else?" His eyes go into slits
"I said make her fall in love with you, she will think you are her mate so no 'getting into her knickers' she will want to mate with you once she believes in the mate bond. And I forbid it, unless you want to die?."
"How can I pretend to be her mate without the sex?" I scoff
"It's called Foreplay. Have as much of that as you wish. If you want to dip your stick in someone, don't do it anywhere she could catch you or find out. She's supposed to think you're her mate! And once your duty to your father is up. I want you to transfer the bond to me. I've already been and tried but the magic I had someone use wasn't strong enough. I think she could tell that something wasn't right, leaving her more open to mate with me! Then you are to break it off with her. And go on with your life richer and I will keep my word to leave you and your kind to do as you please. But if some of them see fit I can and will hire them for any purpose I choose."
"Yeah yeah. Why do you want her anyway? And just leave my kind out of it starting now. And if they want to work for you fine but you don't get to coerce any of them!"
"It's done. And that's my business, but make no mistake, I want her and you will help me achieve that! Now head back before they notice your missing. Keep me updated on any progress or information, but you can send me messages can you not? You don't need to keep turning up unannounced!"
"Sure! See you around then." I salute and walk back towards the door. Doesn't matter how hard I try he has a pretty good block on his mind. He must be powerful in mind magic. I will crack him one day. When I can really be bothered.
I dissipate back to my room and decide the hot tub looks inviting. So I go out, turn it on and make myself a drink while it's heating. Once I find the ice I put it in a glass with whisky and make my way over to the tub. I dip my fingers in and it's nice and toasty so I strip and jump in.
