"I am sorry for what they did, and I guess you are hiding your wings because if other dark creatures knew about it, they would become your enemy too."
"Yes, Quinn, and thank you for understanding. I am very glad to have you as my mate." He flashed her another wide smile, showing her his pointed teeth.
Her gaze went to his lips before going back to his eyes. "I am glad to be yours too, Vincent, and I have something important to tell you."
"Alright, you can tell me once we return to the gazebo. We have spent too much time here, Ceased and the guards may get worried." He said and in a blink of an eye, they were standing back in the gazebo and his wings were gone. Folded back into his back. She felt that she missed them, she wanted to touch them and study them, but she understood that there was a risk.
He released her waist and she unfloded her arm from his neck then stepped back. His dark captivating eyes bored into hers as he asked her, "What did you want to tell me?"
"I-" She looked down as she felt shy of what she wanted to say.
He lifted his hand to her chin and tilted it up to bring her eyes to his. He stared into her eyes as he murmured, "What is it, Quinn? You can tell me anything."
She let out a breath as she stared back into his eyes, "I have fallen for you, Vincent. I have fallen in love with you, before you even brought me here."
His dark eyes lightened up as his lips stretched into a grin, revealing those pointed teeth. "Quinn, that is wonderful. I love you, and I am so glad that you feel the same way."
He leaned in to kiss her and she moved in to close the distance between their lips.
After their first kiss, he walked with her to her courtyard. He had his arm around her shoulders as they walked and her maids and his guards walked behind them. They entered her courtyard and soon reached her chambers. Vincent turned to face their followers, "You are all dismissed for today except Caesar."
"Yes, your Majesty." The maids and guards all answered except for Caesar. They turned around and made their way out of the courtyard to their respective chambers. But the guards at the entrance of her courtyard remained there to keep guarding them while Caesar stood at the entrance of the chambers.
Vincent turned back around and pushed the door to her chambers open. They walked in and he closed the door then turned to face her. She looked at him, "Vincent, I can also feel the pull of the mate bond now and the need for you to mark me."
"That is wonderful, Quinn, that means my curse will be broken once I mark you, but it also means more."
"More?" She asked as stared into his eyes questioningly.
"Yes, I have to mark you when we are mating and intimate Then you will start turning into a demon. Not only that, but you can get pregnant with a baby demon immediately. Are you ready for all that?"
"Yes, I know about all that. It doesn't matter to me. I love you, and that's all that matters."
He smiled broadly at her as he cupped her cheek, "I love you too, Quinn."
Her smile widened and he leaned in to kiss her.
Vincent bent down and scooped her up bridal style, making her squeal. He walked to the bed, holding her in his arms and placed her carefully on it. Vincent was on top of her in a minute, he leaned in closer to her and pressed a kiss on her cheek. He trailed kisses from her cheek to down her neck. She shivered and let out a gasp, wrapping her arms around him.
His pointed grazed her neck and her breathing labored. She felt that they were longer which meant that they had elongated to mark her. He pressed the two fangs into her neck. They pierced her skin, bringing such pleasure into her as she felt a wet liquid slide down the fangs into her bloodstream. She arched her back as she felt her want for him increase.
Vincent felt stronger and felt all his powers return as he marked his beautiful mate. The curse that the dark witches placed on him has been broken. He ran one hand through her hair as he continued injecting the see from his fangs into her neck. That would turn her into a demon and make her have vampire blood mixed with it like he did. He felt his want and need for her heighten as she squirmed underneath him. He had never loved anyone like he did Quinn and he felt so happy to have her feel the same way.
She kept making pleasurable sounds as he marked her, making him lose control around her. Vincent finished injecting the serum and pulled out his elongated fangs. He withdrew them to their small size and pressed kisses on the two holes on her neck. Since the marking was magical, no blood came out, so he did not taste her blood either. He felt her press herself to him, and he lifted his head to see the love she had for him in her eyes. He leaned down to kiss her as they started mating.
In the morning, Quinn fluttered her eyes open to see Vincent's naked muscular chest as her head laid on it. She felt so different as her sight became clearer and as she looked at the door, she could see beyond it. Her hearing was also heightened as she could hear even the sound of leaves falling in her courtyard outside the chambers. Her scent was similar, she could smell Vincent's amazing scent from below her. She looked up at his face and saw that he was sleeping as his eyes were closed.
