Mine

~|| Chapter 11 ||~

I stare at him shocked. But Thorn, Henry, and Odis are prisoners in his prison. Why would he lock his older brothers in his prison? It just doesn't make sense.

He sighs, "I know how confused you are, but I'm ready to answer any questions you have."

I glance at him to make sure he was serious with his decision. As doing so. I saw him already staring intently into my eyes.

I'll take that as a yes.

I try to think. What questions can I ask him without invading his privacy or running into a sore spot?

"What happened to your parents," I asked.

'Oh, way to go Victoria. Good job not invading his privacy,' Amber pseudo encouraged.

I mentally sighed as I saw him get a small hooded look over his eyes before it perished like it was never there.

"My parents," he began, "are dead. Have been for the past four years now."

Oh well... "I'm sorry for your loss," I mumble.

"No, its fine."

I take that as the cue to ask another question. "Why are your older brothers locked in your prison?"

He sighs at this. "I've locked them in my prison to ensure they don't find their mates... And I should've done the same to myself.

I felt two things at that. Hurt and unease. Why would he not want his brothers to find their mates? Plus, if he never wanted to find me then he should've rejected me as soon as he met me.

"Though I'm glad I met you," he quickly added. "If I had never met you then I never would've opened up about this."

I still feel hurt yet I nod in semi-understanding.

"Anymore questions," he asks.

I nod again. "It's not exactly a question. I just want you to explain everything to me."

He sighs again which makes me feel like I'm putting a huge load on his shoulders.

"My parents, Brandon and Lily Frazier, were in love until my father tried to create an alliance with a coven that held the witch, Haley Oven. Haley soon fell in love with my father, but he stayed faithful to my mom. Because of that, Haley killed my mom thinking that after she was dead, my dad would finally be open to being with her. She was wrong. He went crazy after the death of my mom He tortured and killed Haley, but not before she cast a curse on every boy in our family, which was actually a lot considering that there were five of us: Ajax, Thorn, Odis, Henry, and then me. The last two kids were girls, Bree and Olivia. Oliva being the last and youngest sibling. My dad soon died after because of the death of my mom," he ended his story trailing off.

Wow. That was not expected.

I stand over his shoulder still, the exact same spot I've been for thirty minutes now.

"What's the curse," I questioned. I mean, it has to be pretty serious for him to put his brothers in prison.

"Whenever a Frazier male finds his mate and marks her, he will gradually becomes distant. We would end up doing everything wrong for our mates even though some part of us would think we we're doing it right, until the mate hates us. Then some part of us will start to believe you want to break the bond, so we will ourselves," he replied.

Dang. That's hardcore. At least it explains why he's been distancing himself from me. He doesn't want me to get hurt.

That's... Sweet.

I glance at him to see him putting the picture back where it belongs on his desk.

When he's done fixing it to his liking, I notice he starts to stare at me.

"What," I ask self consciously. Is there something on my face or something?

"I'd totally mark you right now if it wasn't for the fact that I'd end up hurting you."

Well then.

That's when I start to notice his eyes getting darker. Oh goddess. Blaze is coming out.

When Blaze makes his way fully out, he growls and slips his arm around my waist.

But it wasn't a threatening growl. It was more like a... Purr.

I start to struggle in Blaze's arms because I know that if Valentino wants to mark me then Blaze does also. Though I'm pretty sure he could care less about the curse. He just wants his mate.

"Oh no little mate, you're not going anywhere," Blaze mutters as he gets up from his chair and pulls me closer.

"Think about this, Blaze. Remember what will happen. You'll destroy our bond," I say as I keep struggling.

Why couldn't I get a mate that wasn't this strong. I mean, I love his muscles, but they're in the way right now.

"I know exactly what I'm doing so there's no need to think about this," he replies, nuzzling his head in my neck, close to where his mark will go.

"Is Valentino agreeing with this? He would never agree to this," I practically shout, finally pushing myself from his body.

My former actions never fazed him. He just pulls me closer and starts his attack of kisses on my neck. This actually surprises me because he's never kissed me before. He may have kissed me on the cheek or the hand, but it's never gotten intimate before.

"Well he's not trying to come back to the surface, now is he princess?"

I stand as stiff as a board trying to remind myself that I need to get away. I can not have him mark me.

All of my resolve seems to disappear as I feel his canines extend from his gums into my porcelain skin.

As he bites me, I can feel the bond becoming closer and my body getting drowsy.

The last thing I hear is Blaze growling, "Mine," before everything goes blank.

Well I'm in some deep horse poop.

;($

Woah okay then.

So that happened.

Sorry not really into details there. Maybe when I get older I'll go back through this whole book and change out some parts. Oh well.

Kisses Ari.
