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 at me with an incredulous expression, "How are we mates when you are a vampire? You're lying to me, aren't you? Vampires are manipulative and hurt humans just like you're doing to me!" she claimed before running for the door.
She was just about to exit but I rushed forward and snaked my arm around her waist and pulled her into my chest. I buried my face into her neck before tipping it forward, close to her ear.
"Does this hurt?" I whispered seductively in her ear as my arm crawled underneath her nightdress and caressed the smooth skin of her thighs.
"Does this feel like manipulation to you?" I questioned and a moan escaped her throat.
In an instant, I pulled her around so that she'd face me; My eyes settled on her slightly parted, pink lips and instinctively my thumb ran across her bottom lip and her eyes fluttered close in response.
"Stop doing this!" she breathed out; I kissed each of her eyelids, they fluttered open in response and her warm eyes peered into mine.
"I'm not doing anything," I said truthfully. "This between us," I gestured to the small space between the both of us, "it's meant to be."
She stared at me for a few more minutes before detaching herself from me and taking a few steps back, "So I'm your mate," she mused in realization whilst I only smiled in reply.
"this bond that we share, is there some way to demolish it?" she asked after a few seconds and just like that the smile I wore faltered of my face and rage began swarming through my nerves.
How dare she even question me about something like that? I could feel my teeth elongate and my eyes darken; I was afraid I'd hurt Amelia if I didn't get any blood to calm me down.
"There isn't any way to get rid of what we have love," I growled out before pushing her out of the way and making my way to the slave room for a little drink to calm myself.
As soon as I arrived at the slave room, I spotted one of my usual feeders and an old f*** buddy. I couldn't be bothered to remember her name so I snapped my fingers to get her attention. She spotted me almost instantly and began sauntering towards me with an extra swing to her hips.
"What would you like, Master?" she purred out and a smirk slowly crept up to my face, "Just a bite darling," with that I sank my aching teeth into her neck as she let out a pleasured moan. I continued to drink and my hands wrapped around her tiny waist as I pulled her closer. After a while of indulgence I retracted from her neck and licked her wound clean.
"Now would you perhaps want to have a little more fun?" she bit her lip giving me the clear message of what she was trying to suggest but unfortunate for her I couldn't bring myself to find her attractive; in fact, I didn't find anyone appealing anymore, not after Amelia.
"I don't think so sweetheart," I countered before leaving her and to my room where my love awaited my arrival.
As soon as I walked through my bedroom doors I found my precious angel sobbing her heart out, curled up against the bed-post. I hurried towards her and wrapped my arms around her small frame.
"What happened?Who hurt you? I am going to kill them!" I growled out at the thought of someone hurting my mate. After a while of silence, Amelia began pushing against my chest trying to pry me from off her.
" I want to go home," she sobbed out and that's when rage began swarming through my system.
"YOU ARE HOME!" I growled out which caused her to sob louder.
"NO!" She screamed; I wanted to hurt something or someone ever so badly but refrained myself from doing so.
"Listen here little girl, you are mine, this is your home now and if you try to escape me there will be consequences!" I snarled viciously as my hands grabbed her shoulders in a rough hold.
She began screaming and kicking in response but it only made me angrier. I shoved her on the bed and climbed on top of her, "Like I said there will be consequences so you can comply with my wishes or suffer!" I gave her an ultimatum.
"NO!" she screamed again and that's when I lost it my hands left her shoulders and instead travelled down to her thighs, In a slow yet torturous manner my hand crept up and her sobs died down.
She shuddered in response and let out a needy moan, "do you understand?" I breathed out in her ear as a shiver ran down her spine.
I tightened my grip on her creamy thighs to get out an answer and she nodded weakly in reply as her eyes fluttered close and she let out another moan.
I looked at her pretty face one last time before placing a rough, scorching kiss on her plump lips and making my way out of the room leaving my sad little angel behind. I knew it was going to be hard having a young human as a mate but I didn't think it would this hard.
I took a deep breath and stared at my bedroom door, I didn't want to force Amelia to do anything she didn't want but If she didn't give in to our mate bond soon, I would have to resort to many things that wouldn't appeal to her and may even seem cruel and heartless but I had waited too long for her and now I didn't have much patience left in me.
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
WILLIAMIt infuriated me when Amelia questioned me about Dimitri but nothing could compare to the rage I felt when Amelia divulged that she had spent time alone with Dimitri. Had he told her about what I had done? Had they talked about his rebellion? Would she join him in his mission to diminish the Vampire regime and gain human rights back again?All those questions flooded my mind; I couldn't lose her! Maybe the best decision in this case scenario would have to be murdering Dimitri. I'd have to abandon my plan of torturing him and end his miserable existence before Amelia's curiosity costs me, my mate. With a dejected sigh, I began making my way to the underground dungeon where Dimitri was being held.&
