The Tiger Prince's Witch

"What do you mean someone wants us dead?" Anna asked as she griped Kamryn's arm.

"They're not sure who, but from what they got from Melita's phone and computer, someone was pulling her strings and telling her what to do. It appears she wasn't planning on killing Kamryn; she decided to try and mate him instead." Stanley stated as Anna and Kamryn looked at each other in shock. Who would want them dead?

"There's nothing that shows who this person is or why they're coming after us?" Kamryn asked him.

"Nothing they had found so far, but they're interrogating Melita. She won't admit to anything. Kamryn, your parents think you should stay here with us for the time being until they figure this out. We're having them ship Elsie here too. Anna, you can punish her as you see fit. I told them to leave the collar on her. We recently found out that she's been practicing black magic." Anna and Kamryn were trying to take all these new developments in. They hadn't even known each other for a whole week, and so many things were happening.

"I'll stay here for as long as they think is necessary." Kamryn didn't mind getting to know Anna's family. He actually preferred it so they could spend some time together.

"We have something else we want to talk to you about. As you know, we are of the Spirit Energy coven. Kamryn, what this means is that we can pick up on energies from others in addition to our other powers. We have noticed that even though you two aren't mated, there is an incredible amount of powerful energy when you're together." Anna smiled at her parents.

"I've felt it too. Before I had my memory back, I didn't understand what was causing it." She looked up at Kamryn, who was grinning down at her.

"We think you should go ahead and mark each other. It will not only strengthen that bond, but your power will increase to help fight whatever is coming after you." Caprice looked at the younger couple and smiled when she saw them both blushing from what she'd said. Anna looked up at Kamryn.

"What do you think? Are you ready to mark me?" She asked softly, hoping he would say yes. After they completed the process, they would be tied to each other for eternity. They could be together for hundreds of years as a weretiger and witch.

"Are you kidding? I've wanted to mark you since I first saw you at the cabin when you were my angel." He kissed her forehead and then looked toward her parents. "We'll mark each other today."

"Great. Anna, you can show Kamryn around if you'd like. I'll start cooking breakfast. I'm sure he's hungry after that long run, and you both need to get your strength up to complete the mating process." Anna turned bright red at what her mom said. She didn't say anything but stood up and took Kamryn's hand.

"Come with me. I'll show you our room." She pulled him with her while her parents chuckled behind them.

Kamryn looked around as she took him up the large staircase. There were pictures of Anna on the wall from when she was a baby all the way up until recently. He liked seeing the images of her progressing through the years. When they got to the second floor, she led him down the hall to a room at the end. It had large double doors, and when he went inside, he could tell it was her room. It had a soothing feel to it. She had a king sized bed with dark green bedding. A small dark brown suede loveseat and chair faced a nice sized fireplace. There were large french doors that led to a balcony with a fantastic view of the mountains around them.

"This is incredible." He said, looking toward Anna. She shut the door and ran over to him.novelbin

"I hope you don't mind, but we're not taking a tour of anything else right now. I need you, Kamryn. Make love to me before we need to go back down for breakfast." She pulled his face down to hers and kissed him while running her hands under his shirt. Kamryn lifted her up and wrapped her legs around him as he carried her to the bed. He quickly removed his clothes and hers.

They had no time to waste. Anna pulled him on top of her and wrapped her legs around him as he slid inside. It had only been a day since they'd been together, but it felt like a lifetime. Kamryn wanted to go slow, but Anna wouldn't allow it. She pulled him with her legs urging him to go faster. It only took a few minutes for their release to come. They were both out of breath as they lay on the bed kissing.

"Let's shower, and then we'll go back down," Anna said against his mouth. She was so happy to have him back with her. When she stood up, it was the first time Kamryn got a look at her body, and he felt rage coursing through him. She had multiple wounds all over her.

"What did she use on you?" He asked through clenched teeth. Anna looked down and noticed the wounds. She didn't even feel them anymore as they were almost healed.

"A cattle prod. I don't hurt anymore." She walked over and kissed him as she saw the anger flashing in his eyes.

"I will get revenge for her doing this to you." He said as he held her against him.

"Let's forget about her for right now. Come and take a shower with me. Breakfast will be done soon." Anna pulled him to her bathroom and turned the water on. They took a quick shower with no funny business. She could tell he was staring at the wounds on her body; there were dozens of them. When they got out, she removed some clothes from her dresser and handed them to him.

"You have clothes for me?" He asked in surprise.

"When I knew you were coming, I asked someone to go to the nearest town to get you some. Being able to fly has its advantages. We can get places faster than most." Anna shrugged as she pulled on a pair of black lace panties, jeans, and a t- shirt. Kamryn slipped on the boxers, jeans, and t-shirt she had given him before pulling her into his arms.

"I love you, my little angel. Are you okay with us marking each other so soon?" He asked as he brushed the hair away from her beautiful face.

"Yes, I'm ready. We'll have to be careful, though. After I'm marked, I can get pregnant." Kamryn thought about what she had said.

"Are you opposed to getting pregnant?" Anna looked up at him in surprise. She honestly never thought about it.

"You don't think it's too soon?" She asked him. She wouldn't mind having a little Kamryn running around, but they had only been together for a few days, and someone wanted to kill them.

"I think we should let nature take its course. If you get pregnant, it was meant to be." He could already picture their little princess, that looked like Anna running all over the palace. She smiled up at him.

"Alright, if you say so, my handsome tiger." Anna kissed him one last time before they walked down to the kitchen, where delicious aromas greeted them. Both of their stomachs started growling.

"Mom, I think you outdid yourself," Anna said as she looked at everything her mom had made. There was bacon, sausage, hash browns, scrambled eggs, and pancakes.

"I knew you would both be hungry. Kamryn had a long run, and you haven't eaten since you got here due to worrying about him. So dig in, and I'll get you some orange juice." They sat down and loaded up their plates. Stanley walked in and made a plate as well. After getting the orange juice for everyone, Caprice sat down to eat with them.

"This is delicious," Kamryn said between mouthfuls of food. He was hungrier than he thought. All of his energy had been focused on finding his angel.

"Thank you. We spoke to your parents again while you two were busy." Caprice tried not to laugh when she saw both of their faces turn red. "Randal said Melita admitted she was helping someone, but she didn't say who. She's still convinced she will be Kamryn's mate and queen."

Kamryn couldn't understand why someone would want him and Anna dead. He also didn't know who Melita would be helping. He rarely saw her leave the palace. He looked down at Anna and saw the sadness on her face. He took her hand under the table, reminding her he was hers now and forever.

"After breakfast, we're going to mark each other. We'll have a ceremony when we get back to the palace." Kamryn said to Stanley and Caprice.

"Anna, do you want to do the marking in the ceremonial clearing?" Caprice asked her daughter.

"Yes, but I want us to be alone. I don't want an audience." Typically when a witch marks their mate, it's observed by all. However, Anna and Kamryn's marking was different because he was a weretiger, and she knew it would be an orgasmic experience. They may not be mating during the marking, but the connection would feel like it, and that wasn't something she was willing to share.

"Alright, honey. We'll ensure everything is set up and keep everyone away. Your clothes are in your closet." Kamryn watched in fascination as Caprice and Stanely stood up and were gone before his eyes. As fast as shifters were when they ran, witches and warlocks seemed to disappear into thin air.

Anna and Kamryn cleaned up the breakfast dishes after they finished eating. They then went to the bedroom to get ready.

Anna handed Kamryn a white pair of slacks with a royal blue button-up shirt. She put on a long dress that seemed to be made of thin layers of blue and white silk. It had long sleeves and was off the shoulder, leaving her neck bare. "Where did these clothes come from?" Kamryn asked in confusion.

"My dress was already made in preparation for our mating. One of our seamstresses made your clothes while we were in the bedroom. Flying isn't the only thing we do fast." Anna winked at him as he stared at her in astonishment. He had thought Jeana was fast.

"I'm impressed." Kamryn took her in his arms and kissed her passionately.

"Let's go to the ceremonial clearing. I'm ready to make you mine forever." Anna pulled him down the stairs. Little did they know their marking would impact more than just each other.
