I dreaded her answers as she still looked on then she asked me questions that surprised me.
"Do you regret what happened between us yesterday, how do you see me now, why do I feel this rush of care towards you and just why am I feeling your emotions and letting them affect me???". I looked at her in shock.
So she did care about me hmm. "Well to be honest my princess, I did regret last night a little but only because I thought you never cared about me. I've heard rumors of how cruel and manipulative you were but when I saw the look in your eye this morning and how you just indirectly admitted that you cared for me, I really like you princess and as for the bond and emotions we feel, I have no clue. You're the vampire here so it's your question to answer ".
I looked at her with a held breath as different expressions crossed her face and she then hugged me. I wrapped my arms around her as I felt her sigh into me then I heard her gasp in shock. Huhhhh what was wrong??????
****Princess Aurora POV ****
As I listened to what my Angioletto said, I felt a wave of pure joy come over me as she accepted and actually liked me. The thought of her hating me seemed to make me extremely sad and uncomfortable. I hugged her when she was done talking. As I hugged her I felt a pulse in her neck and lifted my head. I gasped in shock. It was a mate mark....!!!!! It was pulsing brightly and had the insignias of a cross, black lips hold on to a red rose. The cross was by the side, on it's own but the brighter it shined, the darker the lips and rose became. I looked at it again and remembered from my studies that this was an unbreakable mating mark and no matter how many lifetimes I lived, her soul would always be with me. It was very rare. Not many vampires their mates and mostly married for connections but the queen of the night had blessed me.
She looked at me again and asked "huhh what's wrong with my neck???". I looked at her adoringly as I stared at her neck. I'll tell her about the mark and then take things slow. I was going to make her fall for me.
I took a mirror and decided to flash it on her neck for her to see.
She looked shocked to see the mark and said "I've never gotten a tattoo before, how come???". I looked at her a bit at loss for words but then started to explain.
"The mark on your neck Angioletto, it's a very special and rare mating mark. It's meant for eternal bond mates and no matter what, our souls will be remain together. Even if we die, we will reincarnate as lovers".
****Mirabelle's POV****
I nearly stumbled in shock as I heard the princesses words. "Reincarnate, lovers forever???". I mean I did have a feeling for the princess and deep down I felt this joy of being bonded to her but I had to be rational. I was only a servant..!!. I would never be accepted and she might be stepped on for this. Even if I told her about all these problems, she still won't listen and would force her way. Sigh..!!! What a headache. She must not tell anyone about this. It would bring tons of problems for her and me reproach as well.
"Hmmm so does this mean that we will be together no matter what my princess??". "Yes that's it and don't you think I'll ever disagree to it or agree to let you go."
Sigh...!! Like I said, she was a stubborn case. I so much want to be with her but I just need to think this through it was too much. "Hm did I ever say anything about refusing or leaving?? I just need sometime to think this through". She looked at me and instantly I felt great sorrow from our bond.
