HIS VAMPIRE PRINCESS

Not wanting a mate

Damien

It feels good to be back home, I sigh getting out of my favorite Lamborghini, I roll my eyes as Cindy comes out of the building running towards me, doesn't she get it? I don't like her, I only had s*x with her, nothing more, nothing special.

We ended things a long time. She hugs me and kisses my lips, my lycan growl lowly making her take a step back.

"Alpha, welcome back," Jackson my third comes to give me a bro hug with the others, we exchange pleasantries before going to class with my beta, I already have my classes, I am studying business administration and Architecture, this is my final year.

My father has an Architectural design and development firm, so I have no choice, he says an alpha needs to be learned to keep things going at the pack and associate with the outside world.

"Shall w go for lunch?" Asks Cindy linking my arms in hers, we found her waiting after our class, I nod heading out, we go to our private restaurant but my lycan tells me to go to the school restaurant, I nod and do as he asks, my friends don't question. As soon as I enter the restaurant, an intoxicating scent hit me

Wildflowers and Mint, I Inhale it deeply while looking for the owner of that scent, we were taught in schools since we were kids that our mates will smell of our favorite scent, only ten or hundreds times better!

" Why are we here?" Asks Jackson looking at the students who stopped eating on our account, we don't eat with the others, we eat at a private area just here in school with the best chefs from all over the world, perks of being rich.

" Well, don't stop on my account," they oblige going back to their conversation. I turn to Jackson

" Let's eat here today," I say tightly at him but he gives me a skeptical look while Leo, raises an eyebrow with a shrug. I mind link the school restaurant Managers, telling them our location, I sigh as we take our seats, the smell of mint stronger! My lycan howling, he has always wanted a mate while I didn't, he keeps crawling out, wanting to look for his mate but I tame him, I stand up, looking at all the students, I sigh frustrated about to leave when a girl bumps into me, she falls but quickly gets up, I look into her eyes, she's the most beautiful woman I've ever set my eyes on, her long raven hair fits her face perfectly, she's about 5'8 tall with sexy long legs and some small curves in the right place, her neck is exposed and my eyes darken.

'Mate, Mate Mate,' my lycan screams in my head and I freeze, realization hitting me, I have a mate, I can't have a mate, no, they are a weakness, destruction.

I hate commitment.

My lycan is fighting his way out, wanting to claim her now without care of people in this room, and the sparks that run through me when our bodies touched was the most beautiful thing ever.

I run outside as fast as my legs can carry me, this is the first time my lycan has tried to force himself out, I hate mates! Our counterparts depend on them too much.

"Damien, what is it?" Asks my beta concerned, Leonardo is my best friend. I try to open my mouth but no sound comes out, I pace around the hallway.

"What kind of sorcery is this?"

Leo looks at me like an i***t, now a woman I don't know makes me look like a fool in front of my friends.

"That girl, why do I feel this way towards her!" Leo laughs, shaking his head, what is funny? I want to punch him across the face, just maybe It can make me feel better.

"Dude, she's your mate,"

"No! She cannot be! I don't want one Leo, you know what happened to my uncle when his mate died, " my uncle almost went crazy, he stopped being human seeing him like that made me hate the whole idea, plus I don't commit.

Later in the day I go for a run around the pack, I really need it, and I didn't even come near any rogues, going back to my apartment for peaceful bed rest, I take a cold shower then collapse on the bed.

I didn't sleep the way I expected, I kept thinking about her, whenever I close my eyes it was her I see, what has she done to me, maybe if I spend some time with some other girls I'll stop

' dude, I don't want her'

'But did you see her? she is perfect for us'.

My wolf argues I shake my head

In the morning, I get ready for my class, the campus is not too far from my penthouse but I take a car anyway, in case, I hope I don't see that girl, this is a big university I am sure I won't run into her and even if I do I'll make sure she hates me or just piss her off that can work.

Yes, let's get her out of our head buddy

I tell myself as I park in my spot, as usual students are already in their respective groups, others talking, while others are walking to class, some studying under the trees as others spent time with their other significant.

I continue walking to class, So far so good, I didn't see her anywhere. I enter the lecture room and the whole room goes quiet, others whispering, asking what am doing in their class, I sigh going to my seat, I'm only taking this class because I didn't do it with Leo and Jackson last semester.

My nostrils smell the strongly familiar scent, of mint. I jinxed it. Is she in this class? The door opens and she enters, looking flawless in a black short dress, her olive tone skin looks perfect in that and those heels just make her look like she is from a magazine cover shoot.

Stop looking, Damien. I scold myself.

Oh f**k, why is she coming this way, no don't come close, my lycan is already howling in excitement, and am I hard right now?

'enough stop this' I warn him but he ignores me, so I block him out. Finally, some peace, and luckily that girl stays away from me.

Why I am stressing, I can just reject her, and is she human? She doesn't smell like a supernatural, so she must be human.

' if you reject her, I will reject you too,' growls my lycan's voice in my head, oh really now buddy, well am not accepting her.

She takes the seat in the corner, and start drawing, I wonder what she is doing, or what she is sketching

Still, in my thoughts, our professor, the old man in white beards keeps on talking, and honestly, I can't even Concentrate, that smile is amazing! I glance at the girl at the far corner, she is still drawing, she looks irritated with the old professor's talking.

"Miss Collins, am I disturbing you?" He asks approaching her seat, she finally puts her sketch pad away before shaking her head innocently with a small smile.

"Sorry sir, proceed," her voice is angelic, this is the first time I've heard her speak, her eyes drift to mine, and I can't look away from her mesmerizing silver eyes.

Does she even know am her mate?

' she’s not a werewolf,' my lycan answers 'but she will still naturally gravitate towards you, the pull is stronger even so none werewolf,' he explains

' Then what is she,' my lycan ignores me, son of a ......

This is driving me crazy, I need to leave this place, this old man will call my father if I do, as usual for misconduct. and why I am in a public class?

Jackson, Leo, and I have our lecture room. just us three.

"Dismissed," Announces the professor before leaving the class, thank moon goddess

I rush out of the class and go to the hallways talking to my beta.

I see Collins leave the class and Jackson rushes up to talk to her, I watch their interaction slowly following them, she is ignoring him for some reason but my gamma is determined to talk to her, why is Jackson talking to my mate anyway? I can't help the anger rise within me.

"Chill, they were friends," my beta says holding my shoulder, I growl low-key not wanting him to hear.

" I don't care, Leo," I grumble, he laughs knowingly before stopping in his tracks, I continue to follow my mate for a while, my body is on autopilot. Where is she going this is the top floor, nobody comes to this part of the school?

" Baby!" Oh, f**k what does she want now? " Where are you going?" Gladys asks in a high pitch voice, I can't help cover my sensitive ears but looks like I am not the only one who has sharp ears, heard, Collins turns to look at us just as I feel the girl's lips pressed against mine.

When I pull away Collins is long gone. How fast can she move?

I drive back home with a strange feeling in my gut, this feeling is unknown to me, loneliness, desire for that girl, anger that she saw me kissing another woman, did it hurt? Oh Collins, get the f**k out of my head.

' can she stay in the heart then?' I growl at my inner lycan, does he think this is funny? I ignore, going up to the building's top floor as soon as I enter I see Leo, sitting comfortably on the sofa with a glass of what smells like scotch in his hand.

"We are going out tonight," I look at Leonard dumbfounded, he's always here. How does he even have the password?

"Dude what are you doing in my apartment?" I ask going to get the tequila he gives me, I gulp it all, gosh, that felt good.

"We have a party remember?"
