Amelia's point of view:"Don't tell me you're actually scared of me?" I asked with a chuckle. Ivan tsked. "Why would I be scared of you? You're a human!" He rollled his eyes at me. "Just admit it." I leaned closer before whispering into his ear. "I won't tell anyone that you, a vampire, is scared of me, a human."When I leaned back to look at him."I'm not scared of you." He raised an eyebrow, his chin lifting in what I recognized as a look very close to dominating. "Don't look at me like that!" I smacked the back of his head. He jerked away from my hand, his eyes and his mouth wide opened in utter disbelief as he stared down at me. "Did you just hit me?"I simply gave a dismissive wave of a hand and rolled my eyes at him. "What was that for?" He ran a hand frustratingly through his hair to check whether it got messy but he wasn't aware that he was messing it up much more than it already was. "There was a mosquito." I shrugged. "Are you really not scared of me?" He arched a bro
Alejandro's point of view: Ivan was levitated off the ground. I moved to the side to see who was standing in front of him. With a gasp, I stared at Amelia in shock. She had her fingers around Ivan's throat. She was strangling him with his feet dangling up in the air... with just one hand. Amelia's eyes had changed color. Her aroused eyes shone emerald green with the pupils seemingly thin, thinner than vampires. I stepped forward but froze when our eyes met.Leo whined, refusing to budge from where we were standing when her emerald green eyes gazed right into my wolf's yellow ones. What the hell? Why would Leo be afraid of our mate? 'What's wrong, Leo?' I asked my wolf as he shifted his eyes downwards. 'I don't know but it wouldn't be wise to go near Amelia right now.' Leo warned. He sounded wary as he forced me to take a step back. 'But why? There must be something, right? How do you feel right now?' I stared down at the earthworms slithering around in the soiled ground. Leo
Alejandro’s point of view: I kept pacing around in her bedroom waiting for her to wake up. She was still unconscious. It’s been more than an hour already. When will she wake up? Should I be worried? Should I take her to the hospital? She’s a human. She isn’t like our kind but again, after what happened in the forest I don’t know what to think about that. I’ve checked her pulse though. It was normal. She was just resting. ‘Leo, is everything okay?’ I asked my wolf when I noticed that he was being oddly quiet. ‘Yeah, I’m just thinking about our mate. She’s not like us. She’s definitely a shape-shifter but I don’t know which one.’ He voiced out. ‘She’s very human though.’ I argued, refusing to believe him. Still, there was a part of me on edge after seeing that side of Amelia in the forest. If she was a shape-shifter like us, what was she? Could she be a vampire? Is that why the vampire king wants her? Sighing, I ran my fingers through my hair out of frustration. Nothing was mak
Amelia’s point of view: Ever since I woke up, I’d felt weird but I couldn’t tell Alejandro about it. It felt like my body had been drained of its energy. It wasn’t the first time I’d felt this way. This feeling… I’d never forget it. Something almost identical to what had happened once in the forest with those three feral animals when I’d been just a kid happened all over again but this time, with Ivan. Likewise, I couldn’t remember anything though. Was it me who’d killed those feral animals? If so, was Ivan alright or was he dead? What did I do to him? Did Alejandro know what had happened? Did he see anything at all? But, he would tell me about it, right? What was the point in hiding it from me… unless it was something I wasn’t ready to take in? I wanted to scream to let out my frustration but knowing there was a Lycan King who had sensitive ears roaming around in my kitchen down there, I stopped myself right on time. Instead, I gripped my bed sheets and gritted my teeth together
Amelia’s point of view: “Too bad you aren’t me,” I shouted at him but his words got me thinking, will I really end up choosing him?I shook my head and pulled the bed sheets off me to get up but a pair of hands stopped me midway. “What are you doing? Do you need something? Let me know, I’ll bring it for you. You don’t have to get up.”“No, I’m okay.” I shook my head and proceeded to get up.“No, you’re not. You need to rest.” He said quite sternly.“Alejandro, I’m fine.” I met his eyes. “I feel a lot better.” I reassured him.“But still, why don’t you rest some more?”“Alejandro –”“Amelia.”I sighed in defeat, my shoulders sagged. “I need –”“Yeah, tell me what you need. I’ll bring it for you.” He seemed satisfied that I’d stopped arguing with him.“I need to pee.” I told him, avoiding his gaze as my cheeks heated up in embarrassment.Alejandro quickly averted his eyes elsewhere and stepped back to give me some space to get up as he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly.When I walk
Amelia’s point of view:That night, I was so exhausted that at nine o’clock I’d changed into my pajamas and slipped into my bed, ready for some sleep. "I can't sleep." Alejandro slouched down on the couch like a lazy cat. "Why?" I sat up and narrowed my eyes down at him in scrutiny."I need my bed sheets." He groaned in complain.“Your bed sheets…? Seriously…?” I was dumbfounded.“I miss my bed and my bed sheets.” He muttered something that sounded obscenely like a swear word.Woah! He was this pissed already…?"How did you sleep all these days then?" I demanded, crossing my arms over my chest."I couldn't really sleep." He revealed, sounding strangely meek.Wasn’t he just getting angry…? What was up with him? Bipolar much…?"Oh, really…?" I stared at him in disbelief, finding it hard to believe that he’d had a hard time sleeping these past days. "It's true. I'm not lying." He sat up and looked at me. "I don't believe you. You don't look like you've had a hard time sleeping these
Amelia’s point of view: My fingers tightened on his shirt when he leaned even closer to me and whispered, “Can I kiss you?” Kiss…? Wait what…? Another kiss…? No freaking way! “No, you can’t!” I exclaimed and pushed his face away from mine. I gasped when his lips ended up brushing against mine. Sparks flared up on my skin from the close contact with his perfectly soft and kissable lips. But, I paid no heed to it. Instead, I looked at him sternly and challenged him with my eyes. Now, try to kiss me without my permission – I dare you! I thought to myself. It seemed like my words got across since the expression on his face changed from confusion to enlightenment within seconds. “Really…? Who told you I can’t?” Arching an eyebrow, he stared straight at me with hot seductive eyes and the hint of a smirk on his lips, daring me to refuse him the kiss he wanted from me. “Me!” I held my head up high and maintained eye contact with him. I won’t let him kiss me without my consent. This
Amelia’s point of view:I screamed when someone grabbed me from behind, pressing a cloth against my mouth and nose. My voice turned muffled as I struggled to break free. Everything went blurry in front of me, the tall trees spun while the sky turned grey before everything went completely black.I woke up to a cold sensation against my left cheek.I winced, unable to move onto to realize that my hands and feet were tied up.I gasped when I saw a man – a vampire – leaning above me, too close for any sort of comfort.I tried to lean back to put some distance between us but alas! It was at that moment that I realized that I was in a bed. I looked around him and became aware of my surroundings. I was in a bedroom.“W-Who are you?” I asked but strangely, no words sounded from my mouth. The effort only made me wince. My throat was dry as if I’ve been deprived of water for ages. How long have I been here, lying unconscious? What did they drug me with?Fear gripped me in its vicious grasp. My
