Can immortal enemies really be in love?

Chapter 12

"Are you sure?"

My eye went a little wide in curiosity and so did my siblings.

"Kids, if you could give us some time alone. Felix you can stay."

My siblings knew it was something serious so they didn't abject. My mom and Felix then came over and sat on each side of me.

"What is this about?"

"Alice, can you please pull down your shirt on your shoulders?"

I pulled down my shirt, revealing my shoulders. I then looked at the one Bret bite and saw a bite mark,

"That should have gone away by now."

"Sweetie, it will never go away."

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"You know how lycans get mates, for life?" Felix chimed in

"Ya..."

"Well, they need a special mark so that other lycans know it has taken a mate already."

"That's why Bret said 'mine'"

"Yes that would be the reason."

"And that is why Bret stepped in the way. Mates will do anything for each other if it means one of them doesn't get hurt."

"And what happened to the vampire?"

"I killed him."

"You were so full of anger at seeing Bret hurt, right?"

"Yes, so, this means me and Bret are mated together?"

"Yep."

"But how? We're different species."

"It doesn't matter, lycans and vampires both have mates so, why not together?"

"Well, I'll have to tell Jake and Vickie then."

"Let's go find them, let Bret rest more."

We then ran off into the woods and looked for Jake and Vickie.

"So, what was so important that we had to leave?"

"I have something I need to tell you guys."

"Is everything all right?"

"Yes, everything is perfect. I just need to tell you me and Bret are mated."

They were silent for a moment, and I got a little scared. Then Jake charged forwards and picked me up.

"Good for you!"

"The youngest, yet you still get a mate before us!"

We were walking back when Vickie tapped me on the shoulder and signaled me away from everyone.

"What is it?"

"Well, duh, I want to see the mark."

"Why?"

"Because, humans can show off wedding rings, this is practically your wedding ring. So, let me see it."

"Ugg, fine."

I pulled down my shirt and showed her the mark.

"Now, have you given Bret one?"

"No."

"Well, you need to or else everyone will be hitting on her."

I felt jealousy flash through me.

"I'll do it later."

Vickie started laughing and it made me blush, in embarrassment. We headed back to the house and everyone was sitting on the porch, talking.

"We were waiting on you."

"And no, we don't want to know what you were talking about."

"Good, because we weren't going to tell in the first place."

We then headed inside and everyone else went to bed.

"Alice?"

"Yes, mom."

"It's ok if you sleep next to her, just no rough housing."

"Ok, thanks."

"You're welcome."

I crawled into the bed beside Bret and laid down. I felt a hand brush against mine and then grab it. I looked over at Bret and she was smiling a bit. I leaned over and kissed her cheek.

"I love you."

"Love you too."

*Time skip*

Bret was almost healed by the middle of the next day, she still had to stay on the couch though.

"I'm hungry!"

"When aren't you hungry?!"

"Touché."

"I already started on lunch, don't worry."

"See Ella cares about me."

"I care about you too! I'm your m-" I stopped myself just in time

Bret looked at me, confused, but I shook my head. I then saw Jake signaling to me, so I went over to him.

"Why don't you just say it already?"

"What if she doesn't know."

"I'm sure if she did it, said mine, and is a lycan, she knows."

"Ugg, I know but still, it's awkward ."

"But why is it awkward?"

I then saw Vickie tap her shoulder and grin, I glared at her in response.

"Just because, now I'm going to sit with Bret."

I then went over and flopped down next to Bret, who was happily stuffing her face, and huffed. She pulled me to her side and kept her arm wrapped around me.

"What's wrong?"

"Just my siblings."

"Is it about that conversation?"

"Yes"

Bret then leaned over and kissed my cheek and whispered in my ear.

"And yes, I know we're mated."

I then scoffed and pushed Bret away from me.

"Ow, still hurt over here."

"You're so mean!"

"Sorry."

*Time skip*

I was laying next to Bret, her arm wrapped around me, but I couldn't go to sleep.

"Hey Bret?"

"Yes?"

"Just wanted to see if you were awake."

"Why?"

"For this."

I then flipped myself over Bret and pulled her shirt down, I kissed her neck then bit it.

"Mine."

Bret then pulled me down on top of her and kissed me.

"So sweet."

I blushed but let Bret hold me longer.
