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.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.&
AMELIAI opened my eyes as soon as William walked out the door, the session with him earlier left me thoroughlyexhausted yet in an obscure way extremely sated and happy. I touched the area on my neck in which William had sunk his teeth; a low hiss escaped me when the gentle pressure of my fingers pressed upon my throbbing skin.Reluctantly I moved out of the bed and headed for the bathroom. I stood in front of the sink, staring at my reflection in the mirror that was hung proudly in front of me. Drops of water dribbled down my unusually pale face as I contemplated whether what I was about to do was the right choice.No matter how hard
