She was a weird woman, at least that's what everyone said about her but the way she saw it, she was limited edition. Who else had silver hair that reached their waist, silver eyes, a curvy body that consisted of gravity defying breasts and an extremely cute bubble butt, oh and let's not forget the wings? No one, that was who. She was one of a kind. But that wasn't always a good thing now, was it?
Aurora sighed. She was a confident woman by nature but then she had those nights where everything was just shitty. Usually she would go to her friend's bar down the street from where she lived. Of course, to most humans, Aisling's Ale Heaven wasn't visible due to the glamour that was cast on it. But then again a human would most likely have a heart attack after one gulp of Aisling's stuff but it was perfect for Aurora. Being a demigoddess and all, her metabolism was a bitch so to speak. Human alcohol would only give her a mild buzz but Fey Ale would have her singing the national anthem at the top of her lungs and she didn't even know the national anthem.
Not one to break habits, even the bad ones, Aurora tapped on the tattoo underneath her ear that hid the tattoos covering her from head to toe and the wings. She checked herself in the mirror and sighed. She didn't want to hide herself but if she wanted to live in the human world, those were the sacrifices she had to make.
Whatever, she thought; I'll turn it off as soon I get into the pub.
The pub was full even if it was a Tuesday night. The supernatural community was made up of alcoholics, it would seem.
When Aurora entered the place, almost everyone was staring at her. Nothing new there. She waved and smiled at the people she knew and glared pointedly at those she didn't know. Staring was just rude.
Since there was no seat available, she went behind the bar, carefully tucking her wings in so that she wouldn't accidentally hit something with her thirteen feet wide feathered limbs.
"You look like shit."
"Thank you. Thank you for that boost of morale, bitch." she said to her best friend who also happened to be a werewolf.
Aisling was a tall woman built like a linebacker but then again compared to most werewolf females she was considered to be petite. She had raven black hair that was cut randomly and stuck up from all over her head.
"Honey, there's no point in lying, now is there? You own a mirror, don't you?"
"I tend not to look at myself these days." Aurora said distractedly as she looked at the liquor shelf for Dragon's Breath. A spicy drink that will have you forgetting your name after a few shots.
"Go lie to someone who don't know you, sugar." Aisling drawled as she poured a drink for one of the patrons whose eyes zoomed in on Aurora.
Before she could turn around with her bottle of Dragon's Breath and go to the back where she could get wasted on her own and lament life's cruelties, the dude came to stand in front of her.
She wrinkled her nose as the sweet scent that emanated from all Incubi hit her. He was at least six five with eyes that were a glowing emerald, for reasons unbeknownst to her he was shirtless but then she looked at his washed board tanned abs and Aurora agreed it would be a shame to cover that up. Especially if you were in the business of seducing women.
"Your body calls to me." He said, leaning into the bar, nicely exposing his muscled biceps.
"Really? What does it say?"
"It says: ravish me!"
"Are you sure?" she asked, taking a gulp of the DB. It left a trail of fire on its way down.
He frowned. 'I am a Master of Seduction, you doubt me?"
"Me? God, no!" she was extremely proud of the fact that she managed to say it with only a quirk of her lips.
"Good, he said reassured, we shall go to-"
"I'm afraid I can't. I'm already spoken for." She cut him off sweetly.
"Oh for fuck's sake, I don't want you to have my babies or anything, I just want to fuck. I don't care if you're spoken for." He said exasperated. His speech going from seventeenth century courtesan to twenty first century biker in an instant.
Aurora smiled. She always made the best come out in people. "So you can suck my soul out?" she giggled, the DB starting to work its magic.
"Not all Incubi do that, you know. Some of us are just looking for a good time without the soul sucking."
Aurora opened her mouth to make a smartass retort but she was cut off.
"That is good to hear, Raymond. I'm sure that will reassure the ladies however this one is spoken for. By me. If anyone touches her I'll cut his balls off and shove them up his ass." Said the source of her gloomy mood of late.
As the incubus all but ran away in his haste to get away from her she couldn't help but notice how good looking the intruder was. Oh he was beautiful. Tall, lean muscled, shaggy chestnut hair, a five o'clock stubble that made her want to rub her cheeks against his and glowing amber eyes that made her girl part all wet and tingly.
"Diego, what brings you here? Ale?" she asked way too loudly, flashing all thirty two of her teeth.
"You know exactly why I'm here so put down the bottle and let's get out of here." He ordered and boy did that spark her anger.
She put her hands on her hips and glared up at him, since he was almost six five and she was five foot nothing she had a long way to glare up.
"Listen up. I'm not one of your little pride pussies, you do not get to order me around."
"You're my mate." He said as if that explained everything. Fucking shifter males, always so bloody arrogant.
"We fucked like once." She said flatly.
"And I marked you." he said, pointedly looking at the bite mark that had already healed and left a crescent shaped scar on the junction of her collarbone and her shoulder.
"I don't give a shit, pussycat." Aurora sneered taking a gulp of the strong stuff.
Clearly he didn't like being called a "pussycat" because his nostrils flared and his eyes glowed with power. He wasn't Alpha for nothing. His power wrapped around her like a suffocating cocoon making her whimper. Diego was trying to make her submit. Her. A goddess' daughter. The bastard.
Aurora gnashed her teeth together and let her own power loose, glaring at him but he didn't shrink back like she expected he would. Instead he met her head on and they were caught up in glaring contest.
"Uh... Aur', could you guys maybe take this outside..."the tremor in Aisling's voice had Aurora's head snapping towards the she-wolf, noticing for the first time that the whole pub had gone quiet.
Aurora nodded slowly and headed for the door, Diego followed her out.
As they walked down the block, Aurora started thinking about what would happen now. She had known she was the tiger shifter's mate but she was half hoping he wouldn't come after her once she had left. She liked being independent and when one had a mate that was something close to impossible. She craved his touch. Yearned for his kisses and his cock buried deep inside her calming the heat like only he could.
Dear goddess, she was hooked.
Thank God he had finally found her! He had been going crazy with worry for the past five days. Aurora had woken up at the ungodly hour of five in the morning and sneaked off to god knew where. Who did that? Really?
She was willful and he liked that about her but he was the one in charge and by the end of the night he would make sure she knew it.
Her hips swayed enticingly as she walked ahead of him, her long hair teased her round ass every step she took. He was going to beat that ass red tonight.
"Stop staring at my ass, you perv." She called not even bothering to turn around.
Diego growled and went to walk beside her. "My ass. You belong to me." He growled and emphasized with a resonating smack on her ass.
Aurora yelped and stopped walking and glared up at him. God, her silver eyes were gorgeous. "I don't know if that caveman act works with all the other chicks but I am a lady goddamnit!"
"There was nothing ladylike about the way I fucked you the other day."
"Yeah well that's what happens when you let an animal fuck you." she snapped.
Diego snarled and had to make a conscious effort to tamp down on the rising urge to flip her over his shoulder and take her to his house. Or in the alley, anywhere would do as long as he got to sink his cock into her cunt.
Aurora took a cautious step back, looking at him warily. As if he would actually hurt his mate. It stung that she didn't trust him but then again they had only known each other for an hour before going back to his place and screwing like bunnies.
"I won't hurt you." he said softly
"So says the tiger."
"You're my mate." He said again wondering why she couldn't understand what that implied. Yes he wanted her to submit to him but in no way would he ever let any harm come to her, he was meant to protect her for god's sake.
"You keep saying that." She said exasperated. The frown that marred her face making her even more cute under the golden glow of the street lights.
"Because that's all that needs to be said."
Aurora tilted her head to the side and stared up at him as if she were studying him. "And what if I don't want to be?"
"We'll both die."
"I'm immortal." She sniffed.
"What are you?" he asked.
Diego had heard many stories about the silver haired winged beauty but he didn't know which was true. Some had said she was a fallen angel, some said she was the result between two unknown species..
