My Mates Fight For My Heart

Having a mate

Damien's POV

Well, I did not expect her to grow up so beautiful. When I last saw her, she was a tiny baby crying in her crib. I was not impressed, but she was one of us, and I would not let hybrids stay with vampires and werewolves. I did not expect her to become my mate, but I knew if she became a beauty, I would have her as a sleeping partner. I was surprised when I saw her and realized that she was my mate, but I would not let her know it and let her think I knew it since she was a baby. I never wanted a mate again, not after Alessandra. Alessandra hurt Damien when he was still a young hybrid. She picked his friend Vincent as her mate and left him as Vincent was a mightier Alpha than he was. Damien promised himself he would never have a mate again and reject his mate if he ever found one again. Then Blair came around, and he had already accepted her.

"I must be crazy for taking a mate and Luna," Damien thinks. Vincent and Alessandra no longer have the mightiest pack of hybrids. I do, and I am the wealthiest hybrid Alpha there is. I do not speak to them anymore. They went behind my back. Alessandra was my Luna, but one day when I got home, she broke our bond and told me she was moving in with Vincent. I was away on a business deal. I knew it was because of his money and bigger pack, but many of his hybrids joined my pack over the years, and his pack became smaller. Vincent is also not good at business, and he lost most of his money and that of the pack by investing their money wrongly. I am wealthy and realize my Luna has no clothing, as I took her without giving her time to pack. We will have to stop in the city, and I will buy her everything she will need.

"Stop at the boutique," I order my driver. I see Blair looking at me, amused. I will have to teach her a lesson or two. She is my Luna, and I will always respect that. I will no longer have affairs. I will no longer use the ladies and be faithful to her, but she had better not cheat on me as I swear I will kill her and her new mate this time. I wanted to kill her other two mates, but I had no reason to as she rejected them. They had better stay away from her because Blair Blake, soon to be Blair Black, will stay my mate whether she likes it or not.

"Well, you should have given me a chance to pack," Blair says.

"I do not think the clothes you own will be good enough for my Luna," I say. Blair laughs at me and shakes her head.

"My father bought me new clothing yesterday," Blair says.

"I will pick your clothing, and I have decided that you will finish school from home. I will not let you near those two creatures lusting after you," I say.

"What the hell? You can not tell me how to live my life," Blair says. She has a lot of guts talking to me like that. I smile. My heart is cold, but not that cold. I lean over to her, my mouth near her ear.

"You, my little one, will do as I say," I whisper.

"You, big asshole, will not tell me what to do," Blair says. I can see my driver smiling as if he finds it amusing that Blair is talking back to me.

"We will see! Wait until you scream my name in my bed at night," I say. Blair blushes and looks at the driver and the other men around us.

"I told you! You will not touch me until I say so," Blair says.

"We will see," I say. We stop in front of the boutique. I lean over and pull Blair close before she can do anything, and my fangs sink into the spot where I must mark her. She is furious but then grabs me around my neck and marks me back.

"Two can play this game," She says. Alessandra never marked me, and it is a new sensation to me. I know werewolves mark each other, but hybrids can choose if they want to, as we do not need a mark. I see my driver smile again as he looks at us.

"Let's go in before I lose my temper with you," I say. She pulls her face and rolls her eyes. She is brave or does not know who I am or what I am capable of. My men get out to secure the boutique as we walk inside. One of the girls walks over to us, and I can see she looks at me flirtatiously. I grab Blair and pull her closer to me.

"I want the best clothing for my fiance," I say. She stops in her tracks and looks at Blair. I know Blair still looks young, but I do not care what she thinks.

"I will get the best we have, sir," She says. She brings out evening wear and other clothing. I walk to the lingerie area, picking out sexy underwear and nightwear for Blair. I can see Blair blushing as I do that, and I smile. I want to teach her a lesson for being so mean and bossy with me.

"What do you think, honey? This will be perfect for our honeymoon night," I say as I hold up a see-throw little number in front of me.

"Well, it is up to you! You are the one who is going to have to look at me wearing that," Blair says, but her face is red. I see the ladies in the shop smiling at Blair and her red face. I make her fit every outfit as she can no longer look like a school child. She is eighteen and should start wearing adult clothing. I buy everything I like on her and will not let her pick anything for herself. She is my Luna, and we will have to attend many functions together. I can see Blair is annoyed as I buy a lot of sexy lingerie and underwear.

"Put it on. I want to see what you look like in it," I say as I hold the sexy number I picked earlier in front of her.

"You will have to wait for our honeymoon, baby," Blair says sarcastically, and I laugh as she is red in the face again. The girls giggle, and Blair glares at them.

"Fine, we will take it all," I say. I pay with my credit card, and the men come in to take packages and carry them to the SUV. Blair glares at me as we get in the car. She does not look happy. I smile and know she knows now not to push me too far.

"Asshole!" Blair says.

"Hahaha, you asked for it," I laugh.

"I am never going shopping with you again," Blair says.

"You do not have to, as I think you have enough clothes to last you a few months. By that time, you should know the boss around here," I say.

"Hmm, we will see," Blair says.

"Do you know who I am?" I ask her.

"Yes, you are Damien Black, alpha of some hybrid pack," Blair says.

"I am the mightiest Alpha around. I kill who I want, and packs bow down to me," I say.

"Should I applaud you?" Blair asks. This time I can see my driver laughing. If he were not my best friend and Beta, I would have killed him on the spot. I glare at him as he looks at me in the rearview mirror. Blair is different from Alessandra, and Alessa was always obedient and humble towards me. Blair is cheeky, and she will not take any s**t from me. I will have to teach her to be respectful. She is still young and does not know how to talk to her Alpha.

"You should know your place and not talk to your Alpha in that manner," I say.

"I thought we were equal as the Luna of the pack is the female leader of the pack," Blair says.

"We are, but still, you need to listen to me," I say.

"Why? I will listen if I need to, but I will not let you tell me what to do and let you be petty. I am going to school and finishing my graduation," Blair says. I wouldn't say I like her being near her other mates.

"You can go, but with a bodyguard," I say. I do not have time to look after her all the time, but I do not understand why I do not want her to be near them and am almost jealous of her.

"I am not going to walk around school with a bodyguard," Blair says.

"Then you are not going," I say. My parents were not very loving creatures. They always had lovers, and when Alessa cheated on me with my best friend then, I was broken, and I promised myself not to put myself in that position again. My parents did not give me a great upbringing, and my father and mother were more interested in their lovers than in me. I do not know what true love is and how to handle it if it should come my way. I know Blair does not love me and only accepts me as her mate to save the creatures in her area. I can not help but not trust her. I have trust issues, and I know it.

"So you do not trust me?" Blair asks. Hybrids are not like werewolves. We do not feel it when our partners cheat, unlike wolves. It is because of our vampire side, and everyone knows that vampires are hardly ever loyal to their mates. I am loyal, and my vampire side will not change that.

"I do not trust any female creature," I say.

"I see, so who or what hurt you so much that you are so evil and without feelings?" Blair asks me. I am surprised that she would even ask me a question like that.

"My private life has nothing to do with you," I say. I am not willing to talk about my past with Blair. Maybe one day, if things work out between us. My wolf is not very happy with me right now as he wants Blair and her wolf as his mate and us to trust her.

"Well, so much for trusting your mate," Blair says.

"As I said, I trust no one, especially female creatures," I say.

"So I take it a female creature hurt you, and now you are taking out your frustration on all other female creatures," Blair says. She is very clever. I will give her that, but damn, I wish she would stop asking questions and making me answer them. I look out the window and ignore her. Maybe she will shut up if I do not talk to her.

"Oh well, I will find out sooner or later, and then you will be unhappy that you did not tell me yourself. I may hear a different story and not know yours," Blair says.

"My previous mate ran away with my best friend after she broke our bond. You know we did not have to mark each other, did you?" I ask to take her attention away from me. I might tell her, as she will not stop until I do.

"Holy crap, no wonder you are so bitter and evil. I am not like that, you know. I may not love you or anything, but I am loyal," Blair says.

"We will see. Now, about the mark. Why did you mark me back?" I ask.

"I don't know, my wolf wanted to, and I did it," Blair says.

"Well, your wolf should have asked me," I say.

"Like you asked me?" Blair hits back, and I have nothing to say to that. I glare at my Beta, laughing so hard that even Blair looks at him.

"What is so funny?" Blair asks him.

"You do not know our Alpha, Luna. He will never take s**t like this from anyone, but he is letting you give him s**t, and I am glad he met his match at last," My Beta says.

"Christopher, drive the bloody car and keep your mouth shut!" I growl at my Beta.

"Yes, Alpha," Chris says as we drive into my driveway.
