ログインHelion’s POVI was at the office when my phone buzzed on the mahogany desk. Seeing Kara’s name on the screen, I swiped on the it and turn on the speaker.“What is it, Kara?” I asked, not breaking focus from my paper work.“Helion! Someone just tried to kill Amelia!” I froze. My hand moved swiftly and snatched the phone from the desk, pressing it to my ear.“What do you mean?” I demanded. My voice dropping into a low, furious growl.“The university president called me, I’m on my way to her department right now.” She explained, her breath ragged. “Can you come over? Helion, she needs you.”My jaw tightened, my fists clenching until my knuckles turned white “Go get her. I’ll be there soon.”I know I had put her in that college — to use her as bait to draw those bastards out. But if anyone dared to actually lay their filthy hands on her, I would rip them to shreds.“Peter,” I called through the mind link. He appeared within seconds.“Get the car ready. We are going to pick Lia up.” I com
Amelia’s POVI took few steps backwards, my heart thumping frantically against my ribs as blood gushed out of the dead horse’s severed neck, trailing its way to my shoes.“Amelia, are you okay!” Donna yelled, dragging me to the other side. My mouth was sealed, I couldn’t even utter a single word. My gaze snapped up to the rooftop where the body of the horse had fallen from, and I caught sight of something — a figure retreating. The silhouette made me realize it was a man.Whoever that person was, I was his target, but he missed. What would have happened if that horse had fallen on me? I definitely wouldn’t have survived.“Amelia!” Donna shouted my name, pulling me out of my haze. I snapped my head up and looked at her, my entire body was trembling.“I… I am fine,” I mumbled.The guards rushed over and carried the dead horse away, leaving only trails of blood on the floor. My hands trembled so badly that it was difficult to keep them steady. Donna led me to the cafeteria and gave me
Amelia’s POVHelion totally avoided me over the next few days. He acted like I didn’t even exist, and I couldn’t understand what I had done wrong.Which brought me here. I was currently on my way to his office, hoping he might finally agree to see me if I show up in person. Stepping into the grand lobby, I walked straight toward the receptionist, ignoring the burning stares from the staff around.“Hi. Can you please tell Mr Darkmore that I need to see him?” The receptionist looked up, offering a polite, but professional smile. “Do you have an appointment, Miss? “Uh… no. Just tell him it’s Amelia.”“Alright. One second,” she picked up the desk phone and dialed an extension. “Sir, a lady — Amelia — is here requesting to see Mr Darkmore,” she said into the receiver.A heavy silence followed for a few minutes before she nodded. “Alright sir.” She dropped the phone and looked up at me. “I’m sorry Miss. Mr Darkmore refuses to see you.”A scoff tore from my throat. Today makes it five who
Amelia’s POVThe event from earlier today still repeated in my mind on an endless loop. The shards had pierced deep into Helion’s back as he shielded me from the blast, but surprisingly, the wound had healed within a few minutes.How the window managed to shatter after my outburst was what I still couldn’t understand. The door opened and Helion stepped inside, I quickly ran toward him, worry written all over my features.“Are you okay?” I asked. He kept silent, he didn’t move an inch, just staring down at me with an unreadable expression on his face.He clicked his tongue, his expression turning stone cold. “Have you been lying to me all this while, Amelia?” I froze. Blood completely drained off my face, what does he mean by that?“I… I don’t understand what you mean,” I murmured, my voice trembling. “I’ve never lied to you.” He laughed — a dark, dangerous sound. The real devil I knew was back. “Then explain,” he stepped closer, his eyes piercing through me. “What happened to the
Amelia’s POV“I know what I saw, Kara. There were bones right in front of her. The deceased was a vampire. How exactly did she reduce him to ash?” “I really don’t know, Helion. You said he’s a vampire. That means he must have tried to feed from her, so it’s her blood.”“Exactly.”I heard the low murmur of voices before I could even peel my eyes open. When I finally did, a blinding white light forced a groan from my throat. I gasped and shielded my face with the back of my hand.My birthday had turned into an absolute horror story. I recalled the scene in the bathroom and my eyes flew open as I scrambled up in bed, my hand flying instinctively to my neck. The bite mark from the vampire was — gone. Completely gone, as if it had never been there.“You are awake!” Kara shrieked. She rushed to my side, helping me relax properly on the pillow.My gaze swept past her to Helion. He stood a few feet’s away, his hands buried deep in his pocket, his dark eyes piercing right through me. I rolle
Amelia’s POVThe words repeated in my head over and over as I fixed them a sharp stare, and suddenly, I burst into laughter.“Really? That has been the plan all along?” I laughed harder. Then I staggered up to my feet.“You should be happy for your sister, Amelia.” My mother said.“Really?” I snickered. “Fine. Emily, I’m happy for you.” I mocked her.“You bitch!” She yelled, lunging forward but mum stopped her.“Are you deaf? my mother scolded, pulling Emily back “You can’t touch her. Do you want to be queen or not?” I just looked at them, and I suddenly realized what kind of family I’d been born into—desperate pieces of shit.I shook my head in disbelief, “I’ll leave you to enjoy your dinner.” I smiled at them and turned around, heading for the door.“Come back here right now! This conversation isn’t over!” My father growled, but I totally ignored him and walked out of the dining hall, taking the stairs to my room but stopped dead in my tracks when I heard voices, Kara’s voice and H
* * * * I shut my eyes tightly as I tried to endure the pain that came with the bite. But that was just an impossible act. His grip on my hands made it impossible for me to move, “St…stop!” God, it hurts! He stayed there for a while then he stopped, pulled out his fangs and looked at me. My
* * * * I fixed Adeline a stare, but still I I couldn’t make out what expression she had on. “Amelia, you have to accept it. I’ve been with the king for three centuries and he has never for a second said he will do something and not do it” she urged. What does that mean? “Well then, let him do
Helion’s POV I could catch her scent before stepping into the room. She smelt like petals and roses dipped in wine. The scent that drives me insane. Her scent was so strong I could feel the monster itching for control. I looked at all the girls one by one but they were not her, I was beginning to
* * * * My pleas all fell on deaf ears as his mouth kept sucking and making trails on my breast and his fingers thrusting deeper and faster inside of me. “Let go!” I screamed, he looked up and I could see his eyes had changed to a fiery red hue, shock rippled visibly across my face. But I did not
