Chapter one

"NO!" Damon Salvatore had a terrible temper but it was 10x worse with the news his father had just given him "no father I refuse!" Damon was fully aware that to his father he probably looked like a 5 year old stomping his foot because he didn't get his way but Damon would not let his father win this fight he did not want to pick a wife out of a crowd of desperate woman from the village; just because he was a prince did that mean he had to lose his chance of love?.

He remembered when his older brother Stefan had this conversation with his father but Stefan was a coward he was always scared of their father but Damon was not and he would not be stuck with a woman that in stefans words "he would grow fond of" he didn't want that he wanted to love or nothing at all.

Damon smiled as he saw the rage in his father's eyes he hated his father for all he had put Stefan and damon through "Damon you will do as I say or so help me I will slap that smurk right of your face!" Damon knew he was serious he had been hitting Stefan since he was ten and Damon since he was six since Damon had always been more of a trouble maker than Stefan and had always been the one to protect Stefan from his father strikes even though Stefan was his older brother and was supposed to be the one protecting him. Damon was furious with his father so he widened his grin just to piss him of then his father quickly raised his hand and slapped him hard across his face knocking him onto the floor of the dining room. Damon knew that his father would not let this go so Damon stormed of to his room muttering curses beneath his breath. He was just going to have to pick a girl and make her leave him then he would of obeyed his father wishes and he would buy himself some time but tomorrow he would chose a wife.
