AMELIA
I felt as if I was floating on a cloud, my previous bed wasn't this comfortable and I could feel something cold around my waist but surprisingly it felt good, in fact, I had the best sleep I had in my whole life.
I tried prying my eyes open but I was just too fatigued because of the attack, as soon as the thought about the attack entered my mind a jolt of energy shot through my veins and I got up. My mind went back to the attack, I remember I had just showered and was about to head to bed when screams began echoing all around the house so I immediately made my way to the children.
I had always been treated a little better than all the other humans at my shelter but I never knew why; Most would be happy because of that fact but I hated how I was treated differently when there were other kids who deserved those luxuries way more than I did so I'd share most of my things with the little kids in the nursery.
I needed to know if the children were okay, I was snapped out of my thoughts when a low groan infiltrated my surroundings. My heart beat quickened and I felt something tighten around my waist; taking a deep breath I looked down to my abdomen to see an arm wrapped around me and that's when I let out a loud scream.
"AAAA!"
All of a sudden the arm on my waist tightened and I was pulled down on the bed and a man climbed on top of me. My breath hitched, he was the same man who saved me and just like the last time I was stunned by his beauty.
His long jet-black hair flowed down his perfectly sculpted face like a dark ocean, his striking gray eyes shone with happiness and my eyes were just traveling down to his lips when his brawny and chiseled chest rumbled with a growl.
"Angel, you don't want to look at me that way or I won't be able to control myself," he breathed out and my heart went into overdrive. I looked back into his eyes only to realize that they were no longer the beautiful gray they were once before rather they were pitch black and once my gaze traveled to his lips I saw two pointing white jewels just above his bottom lip.
That's when everything clicked, he was a vampire! I tried to scream but I was cut short when the alluring vampire smashed his lips onto mine and strangely I felt like I was in heaven and I couldn't help but respond with equal passion. It felt like before him I was incomplete, like a part of my heart just wasn't there but now I was finally complete.
A few minutes later he moved away and I whimpered at the loss of his cold lips. "Don't worry love; now that I have you, I'll never let you go," he declared whilst tucking back a piece of my stray hair.
I was instantly comforted by his touch and snuggled closer into him. I took in a deep breath of his heavenly scent and was just about to drift off when the thought about the children crossed my mind and I rolled to the side.
"What happened angel?" the mysterious guy questioned.
"I don't even know you and you're a vampire!" I screeched when my common sense kicked in.
"and?" he said like it wasn't a big deal.
"and I'd like to know when you are going to....." I mumbled.
"When I'm going to what?" he asked leaning closer to me and pecking my cheek, I was getting dazed once more but then I pushed him back. I had no clue how he was making me loose my mind with a single touch but I guessed it was because of one of his vampire powers.
"When are you going to suck the blood out me and leave me to die," I answered confidently even though I was anything but.
"I would never hurt you," he declared sincerely in a gentle tone, his hand neared my face and instinctively I leaned into his touch forgetting everything around me.
'what the hell are you doing?!' my subconscious mind screamed at me; horrified, I moved back and looked at him with accusing eyes.
"How do you do that?" I questioned hysterically.
"How do I do what?" he retorted whilst a sardonic smirk made its way to his face.
"You know what! How can you make me feel this way? How can you make me feel like I was nothing before you and now I'm everything? How do you make me forget everything around me with a single touch? Why does my heart beat so fast when I look at you? Why do I crave your touch?" I shot question after question whilst tears streamed down my face because of the overwhelming emotions that took over me.
A beautiful smile came across his face and he walked forward claiming me in an earth-shattering kiss. Our lips moved in synchronization and fit perfectly together. My arms snaked around his neck and he grabbed my thighs, wrapping them around his sturdy waist. His tongue swept across my bottom lip, begging for entrance and I couldn't help but comply by opening my mouth, I moaned in sheer pleasure as our tongues battled for dominance.
I pulled away because of the lack of oxygen but that didn't stop him as he continued his sweet assault on my neck. "You didn't answer my questions," I moaned out.
"I'll explain everything later," he exclaimed whilst continuing to nip at my neck.
I pulled away as I thought I'd go crazy because of pleasure, he looked at me with confused eyes.
"I'll let you explain everything later but I still need to know one thing right now," I explained.
"What is it love?" he inquired caressing my cheek gently and I leaned into him.
"where are the children from my shelter? Are they okay?" I asked, tears threatening to flow freely down my face because if something had happened to those kids I didn't know what I'd do.
He looked at me with tender eyes before capturing me into another kiss and with that, I knew that the children weren't saved and he was trying to distract me; I began kissing him back, the saltiness of my tears mixed with his irresistible taste.
He pulled back and looked at me with a small smile, "how about that explanation?", I nodded in agreement, hiccuping slightly; he sat me on the bed whilst he crouched down in front of me, for some obscure reason I wanted to be in his arms once more but refrained myself from jumping into them.
"It's very simple love," he claimed while I looked at him curiously in response. He moved his thumb over my bottom lip and I shivered with pleasure in reply.
"You're my mate," he whispered.
WILLIAM"I don't understand. What exactly is a mate?" Amelia asked in a small voice.I moved to the bed and pulled her on my lap. "well, a mate is somewhat like a soul mate. A vampire is born with half their soul and the other half is placed inside their partners or mates in this case; So when the vampire finally meets that person their souls finally come together making them complete. It feels like you were living with half a heart before them and everything comes together once they lay eyes on one another," I explained as best as I could.She looked thoughtful for a moment before looking
AMELIAI couldn't believe the nerve of that man! He claimed that he loved me but treated me like I was some sort of a slave; I couldn't deny the sparks but I could try to ignore them. If he was telling the truth about being my mate I still couldn't be with him, he was much too older than me and even if surprisingly I looked past the age difference he was still a vampire and vampires are cold, ruthless creatures that can never love!I was certain of that thus I would never love him. Without any intention, my eyes drifted down to my thighs where oncethe mysterious man's large hands grasped my skin. I had never felt anything like that, granted I had never even been in close proximity to a man bu
WILLIAM"I WANT TO LEAVE NOW!" I sighed frustratedly as little Amelia began throwing one of her persistent tantrums. What I couldn't believe was how such a tiny body could handle this much screaming! This was her fifth tantrum in the last hour and I had finally had enough!Storming through the hallways I burst through my bedroom doors and saw the little minx sprawled over my bed with the right side of her face tucked into a pillow and the other side evident of red, puffy eyes that tear after tear slid from and her adorable button nose, a deep red shade.It pained me to see her like this bu
AMELIAAs the gentle wind swept up my hair I began thinking about my plan toescape, my gaze was fixated on the setting sun in front of me and it gave me a comforting feeling. I had asked William to let me out so that I could scope the area and find a safe route to decamp from. The branch I had climbed gave me a clear view of the vast grounds around me.I recounted the way William spoke about my family and my home, it angered me to no end but I had pretended to accept his not so apologetic apology because it was all part of my scheme. I had toprove myself to be trustworthy so that William could be more lenient on me and let me have a little more freedom so that when the time is right I'd leave without further complications.
WILLIAM"What exactly do you mean?" I questioned with a threateningglare. The young vampire before me began tremblingwith utter fear. Rage, that's all I felt when the boy in front of me delivered a message from Dimitri Roosevelt."Y-your highness, L-lord D-Dimitri is requesting a meeting w-with you," he stuttered out once more."That bastard expects me to meet him in a civil manner and not take his head off?" I questioned with a smirk as I began stalking towards the boy with a predatory gaze."Y-Your Highness L-lord Dimitri wanted me to inform you that he and his men have taken over the northern territory and theyare threatening to e-execute the p
AMELIAI was somewhat cross towards William for shouting at me for no apparent reason but all that anger had subdued due to the sublime reading session I had with him in the royal library. I remembered his oddly soothing voice reading to me and then it all went blank as I slipped into a dreamless slumber. Upon my remembrance I looked around, expecting to find myself laidon the library sofa on which William had perched me up on his lap but I was surprised when I looked around to see the all too familiar bedroom lit up with a soft glow of floor lamp that stood dauntingly at the right corner of the room.Throwing the silk sheets that covered my body at the end of the bed I got up; I was pleased to see myself in the same floral ankle-length dress I had donned
WILLIAMGently, I swept one of the tresses of Amelia's hair back as it clung to her face; her lips were parted slightly and her chest moved up and down due to the rhythm of her breathing. I couldn't help but continue to stare at the little angel in front of me; I had continued doing so for the past thirty minutes and just couldn't bring myself to leave her.A slow smile made its way to my face as I began thinking about my past life, the life which was carefree, no worries, with countless mistresses and nothing holding me back but as my eyes began taking in every inch of my mate's delectable body I knew I'd never been able to go back. The life I was living was incomplete but because of the lit
AMELIAMy eyes fluttered open but immediately shut close once the bright sunlight attacked my weak eyes. I groaned and turned around expecting to face William but surprisingly he wasn't there. I scratched my head in confusion whilst getting out of bed and stretching before heading to the bathroom to freshen up. It was odd how I was beginning to get accustomed to life here in the castle when in fact it had only been a few days since I was brought here against my will.Going through the closet I ended up selecting an evidently comfortable white maxi and a pair of white flats. Throwing on my selected clothing I headed out of the room to the kitchen for something to eat but as soon as I was down the last step of the stairs I saw the same blond I had met last night b
