Mortimer's P.O.V:

I had gone to a meeting to choose a place where the school should be built. I'm with Leon and Selena, walking around the town and looking for a perfect place where the school should be. Then suddenly Luciano came to us using his vampiric super speed.

"Intruder had teleported into your house, but he was instantly captured by the patrolling wizards. Now he is in the dungeon, waiting for the interrogation." Luciano reported. Suddenly the worry had washed over me, I hope Alice is okay.

"Did my soulmate get injured ?" I asked with worry on my face. If the intruder managed to injure my soulmate, I'll make sure he would never see light again and he will be tortured until he kills himself. Then I felt my eyes turn purple from anger and vengeance, who knows maybe this person is the one who injected my soulmate with the deadly venom.

"No, She didn't get injured. Probably, he intended to kidnap her again." Luciano explained. Luciano can always have a personality from playful to serious or vice versa, he's already been here on the island for a few decades before I came here.

So I decided to go to the dungeon to interrogate the intruder, so I can find more information about what werewolves are planning. It wasn't long before I arrived where the intruder is kept, when I entered the dungeons I instantly followed the recent scent.

"Ahh, so the prince had finally arrived ." a young man said coldly. This man has similar features to Alice's, they have the same sky blue eyes and light blue hair. He is currently in a cell that is surrounded by silver.

"You should watch your tone or else you will regret it," I said. I would rather have Luciano interrogating and torturing him, but I was curious.

"Wouldn't your soulmate be upset because you are torturing her brother?" He smirked. Ah, so that's Alice's twin brother? Although, I don't want him to have an advantage over me.

"Oh don't worry, she doesn't mind you being tortured in here ." Now it was my turn to smirk while her brother's smirk dropped. He doesn't deserve to be her brother, no brother would ever endanger his sister by sending his people to torture her.

"What kind of monster are you?" He said with venom in his voice.

"Venus sapiens, didn't you learn that in Mythology 101? Care to tell me, why have you tried kidnapping Alice ?" I answered sarcastically and then asked him. I finally started with the first question.

"Like I would ever leave her with a manipulating, abusing monster! " Well, I've been called much worse. If he would rather insult me rather than cooperate with me then I would rather Luciano deal with him. I sang one of the spells that would let me control his body. With his body, I've made him hold on to silver bars, while he hissed from pain.

"I had warned you, I guess werewolves are truly stubborn. I guess there's no point talking with you ." With that, I left the dungeon. I guess I shouldn't have let curiosity overtake me when I had zero skills in interrogating. Werewolves are truly stubborn, but Alice is an exception; her stubbornness makes her cute. I smiled at that thought and went home.

Alice's P.O.V :

I felt someone kissing my neck and then the kisses slowly reached to my jawline and then Mortimer kissed the mark which made my toes curl from tingling and I groaned. Mortimer chuckled but didn't stop kissing my mark. I tried to move away but I couldn't.

I opened my eyes a little to see why I couldn't move and I saw that I was wrapped with the bedsheets like a burrito and then on top of the bedsheets Mortimer wrapped his arms around and that made it impossible to get out.

"Mortimer!" I whined and Mortimer chuckled at my helpless situation. He just nuzzled my neck and hugged me more tightly.

"Mortimer, you know you have to let me go," I said.

"Alice, your know-how will be hard to convince me ." He said then I sighed. Elizabeth took her day off for the whole week and I didn't cook dinner because Mortimer marked me and that took me a lot of energy that I've fallen asleep. And Mortimer has awful cooking skills that will make Gordon Ramsay cry.

"Okay, I guess we won't be having breakfast then." I sighed and chuckled when I heard Mortimer's stomach growl.

"Well, I guess I have to eat you." He said with the husky voice that sent shivers to my body.

"Sure, you can eat me, but how will you survive with no lunch, dinner, then how would you survive tomorrow's food, then the day after tomorrow, and so on?" I told him with a smirk on my face.

" I wasn't talking about eating you as food." Mortimer teased and I was confused for a second until I finally got an idea about what he meant.

"What a pervert!" My cheeks reddened and Mortimer laughed then he released me where I could free my arms and hit him with the pillow.

Then Mortimer started tickling until I admit that he is not a pervert. After that Mortimer kissed me passionately or we were just making out with each other until we did not have enough air.

Then I went to the kitchen to cook some breakfast. Mortimer wrapped his arms around my waist and he put his head on my shoulder and watched me cook. After we ate breakfast I asked Mortimer to take me to the place where he keeps my brother, he sighed but he took me there.

Once I entered the dungeon Mortimer said that he would let me talk with my brother privately, I followed the scent. The dungeon room was almost empty except this was where my brother was being held.

When I finally arrived at his cell. I saw him sitting on the floor and his injuries are slowly healing up, then I smelt the vampire's scent. I guess he let a vampire interrogate him. Usually, I would be pissed if I saw my brother being beaten. Like Leon said sirens can't handle jealousy or worry, plus Jake giving them an attitude won't make it better.

"Jake, are you all right?" I asked him my voice lace with worry. Although the vampire can overdo it when it comes to interrogating a werewolf.

"I'm fine, Wait! Did you let him mark you !?" He said, almost raising his voice.

"Yeah, I don't know why you are surprised. Didn't you mark your soulmate?" I asked him.

Although deciding whether or not to let Mortimer mark is a huge responsibility. Because marking means that you are making it harder for yourself to reject him. But it's given me butterflies in my stomach to see Mortimer happy.

"I meant you were always against the idea of having a soulmate and then you let him mark you. What did he do to you?" Jake asked. His words made me upset because Jake thought that Mortimer blackmailed me into letting him mark me. When he won my heart fair and square, I was sad because he thinks I'm not capable of falling in love.

"He won my heart, Jake. he won it fair and square," I said. He looked surprised with my statement. If someone told me in five months that I will fall in love with a siren I would laugh.

"You wouldn't give up that-" I snapped.

"For fuck's sake, Jake! Stop denying that I wouldn't have fallen in love that easily. Because I had already fallen for him. Why do you think that I'll manage to reject Mortimer? When he is my soulmate, plus he is a siren and they are very good in psychology? I only managed to survive five months without him marking me and yet that five months I had a hard time choosing between my dream and my destiny. It's impossible to ignore the bond between soul mates!" I almost shouted at him. It made me angry and sad that Jake doesn't believe it.

"Then you are weak for choosing your soulmate," Jake said and I almost gaped at you.

"What about you !? Didn't you accept your soulmate? And you wanted me to be happy with whom I chose to spend my life with!" I shouted at him. How dare he accuse me of being weak when he is also being a hypocrite.

"I meant that you would choose a werewolf and secondly, It's was an arranged mating, then I found out that she is my mate, I just got lucky, Alice!" Arranged mating? Why didn't he tell me that in the first place? I was so angry that I stormed out from this place with tears forming in my eyes.

After I exited the building I forgot that Mortimer was outside this building waiting for me. He stopped me and I told him what happened and he comforted me by wiping my tears. And then Mortimer said that he will take me to the pastry shop to buy strawberry cupcakes if I smile. I smiled and he took me to the pastry shop as he promised.
