Amelia’s point of view:“Alejandro, calm down! Please!” I whispered through gritted teeth as I faked a smile towards the onlookers who were currently busy staring at us in curiosity and amusement.Ignorant people! They were totally oblivious to what might go down if this gorgeous man beside me transforms into his wolf.All I know is that his beast would have a wonderful feast.“If you’re having troubles controlling your wolf, you can hold my hand.” I leaned closer and held out my hand.“Shall I hold your waist instead?” He reached out to hold the sides of my waist. His sudden movement made me step back with a flinch.“Huh?” I frowned.Raising an eyebrow at me, he asked. “Do I look like I’ll lose control over my wolf?”I slowly shook my head indian-style with a shrug while saying, “I-I maybe… maybe not.”Clenching his jaw, his eyebrows narrowed down questioningly as he took in the look on my face. “Was that a yes or a no?”“I don’t know.” I replied in confusion.He shook his head in di
Alejandro's point of view: "I'm here for you. I'm here to protect you and to guard you. And, I'll stay here until you would come back with me to the Poldark pack." I firmly said and then added, "I will wait for you no matter how long it takes.""I told you, I need some more time." She insisted while slowly shaking her head from side to side. "I know... but I came here for you so I'll stay here with you until you accept me. You can take your time... actually no! I'll give you two days to decide." "What do you mean by two days?" She asked sharply. "Like heck I'll be able to decide in two days. This isn't about choosing between two shirts at a shop. This is a life decision!" She exclaimed. "You take two days to make a choice for a shirt?" I was stunned. If she takes so much time for her clothes then she would take a lifetime to make a decision about us. "That's not the point, Alejandro." She deadpanned. Fuck! I like it when she says my name. It sounds like a blessing to my ears. 'N
Amelia’s point of view: “I have never cooked in my life.” Alejandro walked down the stairs after changing into his clothes. “There’s a first for everything.” I said with a shrug. There were still some remnants of lipstick on his lips but there was no point in telling him about it now that he’d already lost his dignity in front of the whole town. And, he looked kind of cute with his lips slightly more pinkish in color. Alejandro stopped walking altogether and looked at me with a face. “But -” “No buts, you agreed to help me cook.” I intervened before taking out the ingredients we would need to prepare lunch. “Why did I agree to this?” Alejandro tightened the knot on the baby pink apron I had given him behind his back, muttering to himself. “Hmm? Did you say something?” I turned to look at him with the spaghetti in one hand and a bowl and spatula in the other. “Nothing,” he shook his head. I pretended as if I didn’t notice that his eyes were still pinned on me and continued to
Alejandro’s point of view: When Amelia had told me to help her prepare lunch, I had just stared at her for a moment, unsure how I had felt about that. But, before I could have thought it through, Leo had pushed forth and had agreed to help her. Never in my one hundred year of existence could I have imagined I’d be standing in a flowery kitchen that early in the morning, cooking with my mate, my human mate. Now that I think about it, this was just a wonderful moment. Her laughter sounded like music to my ears… to my sensitive ears which weren’t so sensitive to her loud chuckles. Once her laughter died down though, I watched as her lips turned down into a pout. "No! Look at what you did, Alejandro," She breathed out gloomily. For a moment, all I could think about was the way my name sounded coming from her mouth until I noted the anger on her face. Yet, it took some time for me to come out of my reverie. "Hello, I'm talking to you." She snapped her fingers in front of my face to g
Amelia’s point of view: I woke up in bed feeling all warm. It was getting too hot for my comfort. I forced my eyes open when I finally understood why I felt so warm. The familiar sparks that ignited inside me and the tingles which erupted on my skin told me exactly who was the cause of my bed being so warm. But, what the fuck is Alejandro doing in my bed? I cussed out in my mind. I tried to move out of his hold but to no avail. Instead, he tightened his embrace, annihilating any scrap of distance between our bodies, refusing to let go of me. “Please, five minutes more.” He murmured in his sleep. Fed up with trying to get his huge arms off of me, I sighed and lay my head back down on his upper arm. I closed my eyes for just a split second to prepare myself for my next try at getting him off me when I felt his hand sneakily and slowly slipping lower and lower down my inner thighs, dangerously close to my pelvis. Almost instantly, heat flooded my sex at his touch, leaving my pelvis
Amelia's point of view:Before I could even blink, he had me in his arms, one hand holding the back of my neck while the other secured around my lower back. His face was millimeters away from mine. My lips would be touching his if I dared move even the slightest bit."W-What are you doing? Leave me," I tried to remove his arms from around me but alas. It would take more than two people to get his hands off me. "Do it," he ordained. His tone of voice was firm and decisive. "Do what?" I pretended as if I couldn't understand what he wanted me to do when I knew exactly what he wanted from me. "Look me in the eyes, Amelia." He stated. Shit, why did he have to say my name? Every single time I hear him saying my name, my heart would go bonkers. And, I couldn't help but feel drawn to him, more than I already was. There was this charisma and invisible pull which would just lure me towards him. "Amelia," He breathed out. Before I could stop myself, my eyes got locked with his piercing s
Amelia’s point of view: "There isn't much time left, Amelia." Alejandro said, refering to the two days I had asked for to make a decision. "I need more time." I shook my head. "You need to make a decision, Amelia. I've left my pack unattended. I can't be gone for a long time." He stated. "I'm not keeping you here. You are free to leave whenever you want." I refuted. "I'm not leaving without you." He insisted as his arms around me tightened. "Let go of me, Alejandro! You are hurting me." I wiggled to get out of his grasp only to freeze in surprise, mildly startled when I felt his erection."What the hell?" I exclaimed as I tried to get off him. "I'm telling you, I'm not leaving you." He stated decisively as his eyes trailed down to his arms around me before getting locked with mine once again. "I'm telling you to leave me now, you jerk!" I pinched him on the arm. "Ah!" He cried out. I didn't waste another second in getting off him when his hold around me loosened up. "Why di
Alejandro's point of view: "Tell me, did you find your mate, Alejandro?" Elder Elius questioned. I gulped as I tried to hold his gaze. I cleared my throat before replying, "Yes, I met her." "Can you tell us who -" "Who is she?" Elder Ava asked, interrupting Elder Elius. "Her name is Amelia." I began but paused when I realized that I couldn't really tell them about Amelia's being a human.Werewolves never had human mates. And here, it was about the Lycan king. It never happened before that a Lycan king would be mated to a human. At least, it was unheard of until now. "Where is she? Why did you not introduce her to the pack?" Ava bombarded me with her questions. "She hates me." I said after racking my mind for something to say regarding Amelia's unwillingness to accompany me back to the pack. "What? She hates you? But why? What did you do?" Ava continued. Her eyes were lit up with slight displeasure which was directed towards me. I had to force Leo into submission when he was
Alejandro’s point of view:“What are you thinking about, Alejandro?” She patted me on the shoulder. “Do you want to mark me or not? I won’t be giving you another chance anytime soon. If you -”I locked gazes with her and she immediately stopped rambling.She was nervous but she was also full of determination. I could sense it.“Are you sure?”“Got any better ideas?” She arched an inquisitively eyebrow at me.I averted my eyes elsewhere, thought about it, and then shook my head. “Think about it… Once I mark you, you’ll be mine – forever.”“I want to be yours, Alejandro.” She whispered.Stunned, I stared at her for a minute – lost for words.“What brought around this sudden change?” I asked her, finding it hard to believe that she was actually giving me permission to mark her.“I can’t see you in pain.” Her voice was barely audible.“Really…?” I couldn’t help but tease her.She grunted, glared, and then stood up to walk away.I swiftly but smoothly got up and held her waist to stop her.
Alejandro's point of view: Laughing, I rushed inside the bathroom and swiftly shut the door behind me to escape Amelia's wrath. "Get back here right this instant, Alejandro!" She shouted at me, angrily punching the bathroom door with her fists. "How could you do this to me?" She shrieked, her voice barely audible as she tried her best not to breathe in the odor that had enveloped her completely. "Eurgh!" Satisfied with myself now that I'd succeeded in dousing Amelia with the potion I'd prepared, I smirked in victory and slipped out of my clothes to have a shower before the full moon got higher up in the sky. From the unpleasant odor that lingered around the bedroom, it seemed as though she'd been thrown into a garbage truck and then forced to stay in those dirty clothes. I have no idea how she's breathing fine with that stench, I thought. It was getting hard for me to breathe properly with that odor. I needed to hurry up and get out of here. But bearing the smell of this
Amelia’s point of view: “Well, let me just mark you then,” Alejandro slipped his free hand into my hair and drew me near as he leaned down, his eyes gazing at the spot he was more than ready to mark since the very first day he’d met me. “No,” I cried, my eyes tearing up. "Please!" I pleaded, gripping onto his shoulders. I felt a very contradicting feeling at that moment. I wanted to push him away but at the same time, his closeness and warmth comforted me in a way where I felt safe. I could do nothing else but to beg him not to mark me. I wasn't ready. "Please, don't do this!" I closed my eyes, buried my face into the nape of his shoulder and hugged him tight. He went rigid, not having expected me to hug him like that when I was afraid of him. Shaking my head, I tried to stop my tears but alas!Fuck! I was supposed to be strong but I was being such a crybaby right now. It was embarrassing to say the least. "Shush!" I felt the muscles in his upper body loosened up as he wrapped
Alejandro’s point of view:Once I was done adding the last ingredient in the mortar, I crushed everything together into a paste before adding some water to it until it became a liquid of some sort.My nose scrunched up at the sight of this potion but I was satisfied with the outcome.This would definitely work, I thought with a satisfied smirk.Pouring the mixture into a small jar, I closed the lid and proceeded to clean the mess I’d made in the kitchen before dawn – before anyone wakes up and finds me in here.I can’t let anyone find out that I’m making this thing otherwise they might suspect something and I can’t afford that at the moment.‘Look at you! You look less like the Lycan King and more like a thief right now.’ Leo remarked sassily.‘Your presence would be greatly not appreciated right now.’ I deadpanned. ‘So, just shut up!’I breathed a sigh of relief when I finally reached my bedroom door without anyone catching a sight of me wandering down the hallways this early in the
Alejandro’s point of view:At first, there were just those vampires and that too, the Vampire King himself trying to harm Amelia but now, that hunter was also after her. To keep her safe, I had to bring her here against her will. If they’d get to her, they might kill her just to hurt me.The enmity between us started way before I’d even been born. I don’t know what exactly happened that led to us being enemies. My parents ended up dying while protecting me from those vampires.To make matters worse, hunters started roaming our forest in search for our kind to prove to humans that we do exist but we don’t want to be found and definitely not by them.They’d treat us like abomination that needed to be erased completely from this world.It’s quite funny though! We were here before them.Just because there are billions of them and only about a million of us; doesn’t mean that they’ve got some kind of power over us. We are both being governed by someone of sovereignty.We all worship God –
Amelia’s point of view: By the time I came back to myself, hastily snatching the bed sheet off the bed and wrapping it around my body to cover myself up, Alejandro was standing half-way across the room. Triumph mingling with an odd expression, which I couldn’t read, was on his face. But it made me panicked.My head snapped up as reality crashed in. What have I done?I just yielded to the mate bond between us. I couldn’t fight it. It won! We didn’t just kiss. We did so much more than that. I was stark naked under this blanket – stark naked! He’d seen so much of me than I’d ever allowed him before.I’ve even bared myself to him, shamelessly opening my legs for him.After what happened, I needed time to think – to re-order my thoughts, to work out how I was supposed to keep my distance from him when the so-called mate bond was affecting me in all those sorts of ways.What had I just done? “Happy now…?” I threw at him, my mind still whirring. Racing to catch up, I asked him, “Pleased wi
Amelia’s point of view:‘What the hell was I thinking?’ This question struck my mind, but then Alejandro pinned me against the wall, his deliciously hard body pressing onto mine with wicked heaviness, and everything intensified.Sparks, lots of electrifying ones, overlapped one another.The past few hours had been so charged, so heady, that I’d almost lost sense of myself. Thrown back into the past, yet still rooted in the present. It felt surreal.The first kiss had been like coming to the place where I was supposed to be, here with him, I thought weakly, even as it made my entire body ignite at his touch.But this one had me as though my body was no longer under my own control, reacting to him on an utterly primal level, whilst my mind had no say whatsoever in the matter.I was vaguely aware that I should object, but instead my hands were threading through his hair, my mouth tingling with every brutal pass of his tongue, my body elevated with the hard, altogether too familiar pressu
Alejandro’s point of view: I felt her reluctance. She fisted the fabric of my shirt in her hands and tried to push me away but I didn’t let her. I wanted to show her that the mate bond was stronger than she thought. It will definitely bring us together. And, she won’t be able to do anything to stop it.I was determined to prove that to her so, I kissed her.She froze on the spot, too shocked to react.I kissed her, slowly and pulled her impossibly closer to me.Shortly, her eyes fluttered shut and I felt her relaxed in my arms.She was confused at first, contradicted even but she eventually kissed me back.Satisfied at the result, I closed my eyes and deepened the kiss.This, right here, was perfect. I’ve wanted to kiss her again after that kiss we shared the other day.A breathless gasp escaped past her lips when I kissed the bite mark on her neck. She gripped onto my shoulders, her hold tight as she quivered in my arms. The effect I have on her is crazy. Fuck! The effect she has on
Amelia’s point of view:Without another word, he stormed out of his bedroom, leaving the door to bang shut behind him. I jumped at the noise that echoed inside the room.He was mad furious.But I couldn’t care less. He’d already imprisoned me here, in his bedroom. He’d already made up his mind and announced his decision. What more can he do? Hit me…? Honestly speaking, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did so just to keep me here as his destined mate.What did I expect? He is just as wild as those rogues that tried to hurt me when I’d first ventured into this forest.‘Don’t forget he protected you every time you were in danger.’ My conscience reminded me.‘No, he saved his destined mate. If I was nothing to him, he’d never have protected me.’ I refused to believe it.‘How can you be so sure about that? He might be telling the truth. He might have really fallen in love with you at first sight.’ My conscience insisted, trying to make me see things in a different light.‘Might,’ I repeated t
