AMELIA
I 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 once the 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 but still this wasn't what it felt like with any regular man, did it?
I was so confused but pushing all that aside I hopped off the bed and began assessing the room for any other exit except for the main as I knew it was locked. The room consisted of a large king-size bed that was placed in the centre with high, blackened walls, dramatic maroon curtains, and a collosol chandelier that hung from the gold-etched ceiling. The room truly was remarkable yet I couldn't find another way out but then all of a sudden my eyes landed on a large bay window.
I sighed in relief before running over to the window only to realize that if I were to jump out I would surely break all my bones as the current room in which I resided seemed to be four storeys high.
Just how big was this place? I thought curiously. There was no way of escaping so I opted for the next best option - exploring! I began looking around once more when another door came into my view, it was relatively smaller than the door the mystery man had exited from so I concluded it to either be the closet or bathroom.
I opened the door to reveal a collosol bathroom, it had been the size of my old room! It was incredible and as soon as my eyes landed on the huge bath-tub I couldn't help but think of the relaxing feeling that I would receive from it. I looked down at my night gown to see the lace at the bottom torn and several dirt blotches near my knees. I was sure the mysterious man wouldn't mind if I took a bath, in fact, he had me trapped here the least he could do was allow me to take a bath!
So with my resolution made up, I began stripping; I had fully undressed and gotten into the tub. As the warm water engulfed my cold body I couldn't help but let out a moan. I began closing my eyes and thinking about today. I couldn't believe that I had lost the only family I had ever known. I could still hear the children's screams when we were attacked, I tried protecting them but I guess I was too late.
I tried thinking of something else but unfortunately the petrified screams of little children seemed to be forever embedded in my mind. I clutched my knees close to my chest and laid my head atop them, it had been my fault! It was my fault I couldn't save them, only if I had been faster or stronger...
Taking a deep breath I began looking through the bottles that were evidently on display next to the bath tub, my eyes almost instantly landed on a black bottle labelled as 'bubble bath', I smile slightly before grabbing the bottle and emptying most of its content into the warm water. Slowly the water began to foam and soon the bath was filled with bubbles and I relaxed inside.
I could feel myself begin to drift off when all of a sudden I could feel large hands caress my bare back, I should've been alarmed but because of the immense amount of pleasure brought by the touch and my drowsy state I didn't object.
The hands began to slowly massage my back and I let out a soft moan, the hands stopped moving and butterfly kisses were being placed on my neck. I knew it was wrong but it felt so right! I arched my neck to give the mystery man more access, my mind couldn't comprehend the right from wrong because of the pleasure supplied from his kisses.
Abruptly, someone turned me around and I came to face the ever so handsome stranger! I didn't have any idea what to say so I blurted out the first thing that came to my mind. "What's your name?", almost instantly I felt like an utter idiot! Instead of laughing at me like I had thought he'd do he smiled gently before speaking in a husky tone, "William."
"William," I whispered and he let out a pained groan. "Are you okay?" I asked now concerned. "Say it again," he groaned, "What?" I questioned confusedly. "My name, say my name," he almost pleaded.
"William," I complied in a breathy voice. He let out a low growl, "You have no idea what you do to me," he stated before capturing my lips in a scorching kiss. He pulled away with a pained expression.
"I hope you accept our bond soon because I can't live without you and I do not intend to!" he declared before planting a soft kiss on my forehead and strolling out the bathroom leaving me breathless and confused. I had made up my mind about staying away from him but when he spoke like so, I couldn't help but want to give every single part of myself to him and when he touched me I felt complete.
Nevertheless, I had to be strong no matter how much pleasure his presence brought me, I had to ignore it, in hopes of regaining my freedom one day. Taking a deep breath I sunk back into the slightly cooler water surrounding me but unfortunately, I couldn't get rid of William's lingering kisses.
Disregarding the bond we had was going to be near impossible! I
thought with a dejected sigh.Amelia gently laid a single rose near the tombstone which spelled Margo's name in a beautifully calligraphed writing. Even though it had nearly been a decade Amelia hadn't forgotten the witch's kindness and had a memorial built in her honor. She had also extended the same courtesy to all her beloved friends and peers she lost at the human nursery and visited it often, paying respect to every benevolent soul from her past.The gentle wind swept up her unruly yet lustrous cocoa locks as the dull-gray clouds, mantling the vicinity, began morphing into a harsh ambiance as the sky turned a few shades darker and the echoing thunder roared after minutes of interval.There was a storm coming,Amelia noted before speeding towards the castle.
AMELIAMy body was on fire, utterly excruciating! I wanted it to end oh-so-terribly. My throat constricted with a thirst so substantial that I really believed that I'd die if it wasn't quenched! Using the negligible amount of energy I could employ, I opened my eyes only to release a startled gasp. Everything was so, so... intricate?From the walls to the vanity mirror, I could see it all in so much detail. Every molecule visible to my eye if I concentrated enough and it made me contemplate how I could ever miss all this. I gulped aloud consequently bringing attention back to my unyielding thirst. Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm my primal urge but somehow that seemed to worsen the situation as a swe
WILLIAMHer lithe body lain peacefully below mine as I caressed her taut yet supple skin, revelling in the glory of her desperately anticipated surrender. I had finally claimed my little mate in every possible way and might I add, there were many, many pleasurable ways. Just the thought of our activities earlier sent a rush of desire down my spine; she truly was perfect. Now all that was left was the kiss of death to finally turn her so that we may have our eternity.The only sounds in the room were coming from the crackling of the fire sputtering in the fireplace rooted on the wall across the bed and the steady breathing from the precious angel beneath me. My gaze moved across the room in a subtle manner before settling on the grand, mahogany clock perched in the far right. The clock clearly indicated that it was still eleven forty-five meaning that there were still fifteen minutes to go till it was midnight, the time
AMELIAI couldn't move from my spot as I watched the last important man of my life walk away. I couldn't understand why I was acting so incompetent. I was sure Dimitri was the right choice but when I watched William walk away an unexplainable painpossessed my body and it only seemed to grow the further he got, that was when I had the epiphany that perhaps William was not as insignificant to me as I belied myself to believe and I was sure Dimitri realized that too thus leaving me to find my way back to William.I felt sorry watching Dimitri walk away but it didn't hurt, not like William. Dimitri was a good man but not the one for me, of that I was certain now and so taking a deep breath, I regained
DIMITRIAs William walked out I still couldn't comprehend the sacrifice he had made for Amelia. Yes, she was his mate but the fact that he was willing to go to such an extent for even her was astonishing. I was still on the floor, my back pressed against the pristine walls for support after the brawl with him. I was stunned yet there was a glimmer of joy that began settling within my chest as the realization set in about the fact that I could finally be with Amelia without any obstacle standing in my way but then I remembered, I failed, I failed Julia!I could never move on with Amelia unless Julia's wish of better human conditions wasn't fulfilled, my consciouswouldn't let me. I had to finis
WILLIAMI finally had her back and there was no other victory sweeter I could think of. As her delicate body fit against mine I couldn't help but take a whiff of her sweet vanilla scent that had craved so very much during all those dreadful days she was not by my side.I was in bliss, her body pressed against mine gave me comfort and after such a long wait I was finally content until his scent permeated my senses effectively leading me to push Amelia behind me and facing the bastard that was hell-bent on trying to take my everything. I could feel my angel's tiny arms encircle around my abdomen and it seemed Dimitri noticed that too but instead of the raged expression, I expected to see as a response his
