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
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: 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
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.
Amelia's point of view:The sounds of the forest surrounded me once I stepped through the tall trees. There were crickets chirping, dry leaves swirling around in the harsh wind blowing occasionally and owls hooting somewhere hidden in the trees.I ventured further in the forest filled with vicious vines untangled together. Some branches kept weaving inwards the further I went deeper in the dense forest.Everything felt eerily odd and ghostly.The atmosphere was just way too tensed. I definitely knew something was wrong.My gut was twisting and clenching. It almost felt like someone was squeezing me while trying to pry me of my life. Why I felt like that? I would never know but one thing I can be sure of is the fact that I should not be here.Maybe s
I fell down before I could avoid it. I felt a sting in my butt when my bottom made contact with the ground. But my sole interest was in watching the dog flying in the air before lurching itself onto me.Ontopof me!Soon, I was trapped beneath it. I closed my eyes tightly to avoid from looking at its dripping saliva. It was so gross and ugly looking. I could feel tears burning the brim ofmy eyes. There's no way I'm gonna accept dying like this.
I don’t know how and when but I slowly found myself drifting off to sleep while playing with its soft furs.I know what you might be thinking. Who is their right state of mind would sleep when an unknown creature was nuzzling up against them?I don’t know about you but I would when I’ve spent the entire day and night before sorting things around my new apartment. I pretty much already had bags forming under my eyes. It was high time I get some sleep.Hence, the slumber party time begins, with a not so small creature in my arms!When I woke up, it was dark so I figured it was night time or pretty early in the morning. I was still sitting with my back leaning against the tree trunk but the dog was nowhere to be found. Had it all been a dream, a nightmare? But what am I doing here? There is no way that I could imagine all of that. I’m not J. K Rowling nor am I Stephenie Meyer.I hastily got up and dusted my clothes off. I halte
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

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
