When he moved a step back, my head spun as he cleaned the blood dripping down the side of his mouth with the back of his hand. My blood!
My words got lodged in my throat as he graced me with a bloody fanged smirk.
He freaking had fangs, like the dogs I met earlier.
Finding my voice, I exclaimed, “What the fuck are you?”
I refrained myself from pushing him away from me, afraid of touching him.
I held my breath when he met my gaze. Concern etched on his forehead as he studied my face which was most probably showing my increasing panic and fear of this man.
“You’ve got such a dirty mouth.” His smirk widened mischievously as he cocked a perfectly shaped eyebrow at me.
He adjusted his arms beside my head and covered the short distance between our lips.
Brushing his lips against mine, “I will have a great time taming you.” He murmured. His low and distinct tone sent a shiver travelling up my spine.
I bit my lower lip and closed my eyes. My heartbeat increased when I felt his lips touching the bite he left on my neck. Instead of sensing the pinching pain spreading like before, pleasure coursed through my whole body as he licked the wound.
I clenched my legs together when the pleasurable shiver halted in between my legs, right at my core.
My eyes flew open in surprise as I grasped onto what was happening.
“Please, leave me alone.” I begged anxiously, my chest heaving. His face blurred in front of me as my eyes pooled with unshed tears. I gulped back the tears but a treacherous tear escaped my left eye.
His hooded eyes followed the tear trailing down my left cheek. Before I could stop him, he kissed it away. I glanced up at him, totally flabbergasted by his sheer audacity.
“Now that I’ve got you, there’s no way I would let you go.” His eyes darkened when I began shaking my head negatively.
“I don’t remember giving you the right to decide for me.” I voiced out.
“And I don’t remember giving you the right to decide for yourself.” He refuted, his voice dropping low. A warning! How dare he try to warn me?
“You’re insane.”
“You’re right. Your voice, your scent and your attitude are driving me mad.”
“Just stop it, okay? I don’t know what you’re doing out here, what you’re up to but I don’t have the time to entertain you in whatever game you’re playing.”
“That’s where you’re wrong. This isn’t a game.”
“Hey! You can watch all the drama you want but don’t start one, okay?” I knew I was provoking and pushing his limits by arguing like this but at this point, I couldn’t just stop without learning the truth about this forest. I felt the need to clear some of the gossips which people were spreading around here.
“What drama?” He either was pretending to sound clueless or he was really confused, either way, his behavior started to annoy me.
“This acting, this set up, it’s all part of your game and I don’t have time to play along.”
“Oh” He snickered darkly. “I don’t need you to play along, darling. I will be the one doing everything but if you want to play, then, I would be glad to play along in whatever game you find playing around here.”
“If this isn’t a game or a drama then what is it?”
“A territory, one which you dared cross.”
“What are you, a dog, claiming this land as your territory?!”
He hissed and closed his eyes as if I burned him. Enraged, he clenched his jaw. I bit my lower lip in nervousness when I saw a muscle twitch.
All my previous courage flew away into the cool breeze blowing by us as I felt a suffocating tension wrapping around us. I took a step back but almost lost my footing when I found his eyes pinned on me, yellow eyes which kept shifting from silver to yellow. Yellow, like those dogs!
There was no denying that this isn’t real anymore. There was just no way he could change the color of his eyes like this. This is surreal and hard to believe but seeing it all happening before my eyes, forced me to think.
“You can’t keep me here against my will.” I persisted but it was quite obvious that nothing was in my favor anymore and to prove this, my voice trembled.
“I guess you didn’t hear me well before. I will be the one deciding everything.”
When he lifted his hands towards me, I swatted his arms away from me and bolted out of there. I looked back over my shoulders to check whether he was trying to catch me only to find him standing still and watching me.
Unlike earlier, I did not hear any growls echo from behind me. Following the yellow lights I saw flashing through the trees, I ran faster until I finally found the path leading back to the road.
My heart swelled with newfound hope and happiness as I stepped back on the road but I halted when I heard a mournful howl echoing across the forest behind me.
“Please, don’t leave me.” I heard his voice, so low-spirited.
I glanced back in shock to find him standing just a few steps away. Too close, I thought.
Without thinking twice, I backed away from him. His yellow eyes downcast, he looked miserable as the distance between us increased.
I screamed when he was suddenly lifted a hundred feet through the air by a zooming dark figure. I would have missed it if I wasn’t already looking at him.
I heard a sickening crack as he was forcefully thrown down. At the same time, I lost my footing and met the ground as brutally as he did. I cried out in pain as I felt an excruciating pain in my chest, right by the side of my heart while the bite on my neck throbbed.
“What did you do to me?” I snapped at him the moment our eyes met across the ground.
The dark clothed man, who threw him down, glanced my way. I gasped. He freaking had wings, black and huge and he was hanging down low yet his feet never touching the ground. I would prefer using only one word if I had to describe him. A vampire!He has white pale skin like a vampire, his lips are bloody red and his eyes are dark, so dark you would feel like he’s looking right into your soul, sorting through your darkest sins. He has black shoulder length hair and looks fierce and right now his lips are pressed into a thin line.I could no longer deny that what was happening wasn’t real because real or not, it was definitely happening unless my eyes were playing some tricks on me.“You didn’t tell me you met your mate, Alejandro.” He addressed the man who had bit me.Mate?“Leave her alone!” Alejandro tried to get up but ended up hissing in pain. Consequently, I gasped in pain.“If I’m not
Alejandro’s point of view:I returned the threatening glare Ivan was throwing my way with one of my own.“How dare you cross my territory?” I roared.“Don’t you dare bark at me, you mutt.” Ivan snapped, his pupils thinning out before his eyes turned black.My wolf, Leo, fought to break free and growled, dangerously deep and low, forcing me into submission but I refused to yield to his demand.‘Damn it, Leo! Just stay put, I don’t want our mate to be scared of us.’‘You are the one who scared her away. I was doing great until you put your foot in it.’‘Fine, I admit that what I did was reckless but just listen to me this time, okay?’‘I will not stay put if anything goes out of control.’‘That is if anything goes out of control.’‘I’ll have your back.’ Once I got my wolf’s a
Amelia’s point of view:Feeling his eyes burning holes in the back of my head, I quickened my pace.I exhaled freely once I turned around the corner and stepped back into town, the place where civilians like me live. I did not even realize I had been holding my breath.I could feel his eyes on my ass the whole way until I turned the corner. He must be sick in the head if he thought I would go anywhere with him.I ran the remaining distance back to my apartment building. I hastily keyed in the code to open my apartment door. Closing my eyes, I sighed and leaned my back against the door once I was safely inside.I glanced at the clock. It was one in the morning. I spent ten hours out there in that forest, ten whole hours which changed my life overnight.That forest has so much stuffs going on. How come the locals around here are so oblivious to it? Either they are ignorant or those creatures know perfectly well how to ca
Amelia’s point of view: While returning back home the next day, I frowned when I noticed a black figure looming by my apartment. Feeling a burst of anger through my chest, I decided that enough was enough. Without wasting a second, I screamed and dashed towards the figure that froze like a deer caught in headlights. I grabbed the sides of his waist in a hip-lock and knocked him off his feet. I glanced down at him when he grunted out in pain while gripping his right arm. Feeling a pain shot up my right arm, I hissed. I stared at Alejandro in shock when he lifted the hood off his head. “It’s you!” I grimaced when his face twisted in pain. “I’m so sorry.” I exclaimed. “It serves you right.” I whispered through gritted teeth. My breath hitched as he swiftly looked up at me. Did he hear me? Impossible! I got rid of that thought. I held out a hand to help him up but he adamantly hoisted himself back on his fee
Alejandro’s point of view: I kept thinking about Amelia… her scent, her voice, her sassiness, damn it! I was screwed! After I’d been to her place the other night, I couldn’t stop thinking about her. I wish to have her here with me, to feel her, to love her. I craved the way she tasted. My wolf wouldn’t let me breathe in peace. We both can’t seem to be able to stay away from our mate. I shouldn’t have let her go back to that town. ‘Glad to know you’ve realized that.’ Leo groaned. ‘Don’t you dare start again!’ I warned my wolf. He boldly growled back but before I could tell him anything, he withdrew back to the back of my mind. That was his personal space. And, I wasn’t allowed to disturb him there. I would do anything to have Amelia here with me. Then, maybe my wolf wouldn’t be so pissed off and moody all the time. But, she’d already made it clear that she wanted nothing to do with me. I can’t believe I’m letting a human control me. She’s m
Amelia's point of view: I was humming to my favorite song while washing the dirty dishes after dinner before calling it a night. I was exhausted. “Yeah, I’m gonna take my horse to the old town road I’m gonna ride til I can’t no more…” I used the scrubber as a mic as I sang along. Once I was done cleaning the kitchen, I sunk down into my comfortable chair in the living room. I sighed in relief before removing my earphones. I sat upright in alert when I heard a noise from outside my apartment. It almost felt like something was being moved roughly against the hard surface of the door from outside. I swear to God if it was that so-called gorgeous man who called himself the Lycan King, I… I… What would I do again? I stood up and walked to my front door. I was trying so hard not to let that little fear I felt growing within me but it was quite evident in my hesitant steps. Am I really letting whatever might be at the
Amelia’s point of view:“Don’t you dare come close to me!” Stepping back while pointing a finger up at him, I warned him as he neared me.“Is this really what you want?” He asked with an eyebrow raised questioningly.I gulped and stepped two to three steps back when he somehow made his way halfway across the room.I stopped with a gasp as my back touch the wall behind me.Before I could move to the left, Alejandro covered the remaining distance between us using his supernatural speed. I trapped between him and the wall within seconds.Looking up, I found it hard to breathe when I met his gaze.I rolled my eyes and started to tell him to leave me alone, but he leaned in and his breath whispered hot through my hair. “I think you want me here… close to you.” He stroked my cheek with his, sending a hot trail of tingles to shot up my whole body.My heart stutter
Amelia’s point of view:I pretended as if nothing had happened when I walked out of the bathroom once I was done. Every part of my body burned with the heated glare he was throwing my way.Not being able to keep my straight face for long, I dared glance at him.My eyes were immediately captured by his piercing gaze.Ignoring the sudden anxious feeling churning in my stomach, I grinned at him. “Good morning!”“Good? It had been anything but good.” He grumbled with a sigh but he kept gazing intently at me as if he was sorting through my thoughts.“Not good? You woke up on the wrong side of the bed then. Oops! I forgot. You didn’t even sleep on the bed.” I slowly shook my hea
