Raiden's pov
"Isn't that the same girl from earlier? She looks new." Damon chuckled when the door closed behind the cute blonde girl and Foster.
I strained my ears to hear their conversation.
Amelia
That name suited her.
"If you three are just going to yap about fresh meat, at least release me. I'm getting bored." Casper exhaled annoyed.
I turn my attention back to him and reared my hand back. My fist went flying to his jaw and the satisfying sound of his jawbone breaking reaches my ears.
He grunted, spitting out the blood on the floor. "Well that's more like it, little Alpha." He mocked.
My knuckles slammed on bones and skin relentlessly. I wasn't giving that fucker enough time to heal.
By the time I was done, Casper was on his knees. He spat crimson on my shoes.
"How many?" I questioned in a deadly calm voice.
He raised his eyes to mine, a smirk still on his lips. " I told you she was willing to let me drink from her."
" I don't fucking believe your word for it Casper." I sneered, ramming my fist again on the quickly healing jawbone. It breaks again.
"Ask the human then. She literally begged me to drink from her. I knew my limits little alpha. There are a few lines on the treaty that states you can't kill me if I abide to the rules. I didn't suck her dry and she willingly let me drink from her. Ding ding. I'm an innocent man." Casper chuckled.
I glared down at him. "You will still go into questioning with my father. Just to make sure you did follow the 'rules'."
I nod at Damon and Lester to let him go.
"Fucking blood sucker." Damon kicked Casper on his ribs, hard.
Casper gasped and raised a finger. "I'll remember to pay you back for that one day Damon."
-
"That girl is really cute." Damon smirk widened, his hands going in his front pockets as his eyes flashed.
"Fresh meat." He chuckle in excitement.
"She's human. We don't frolic with humans." Lester reminded him.
Damon snorted. "What do I care if she's human or not. I just want pussy."
My jaw clenched. I didn't like the way he spoke about her for some odd reason.
" She's off limits." I grumble.
He spares me a surprise look, his brows lifting. "Since when do you claim humans?"
I raised a shoulder in a shrug. "I don't. I just don't want to clean up your mess if you screw up with a human."
Damon groaned, throwing his head back. "You guys are no damn fun. Lester I understand, but you Raiden. Who sucked the fun out of your butthole?"
I rolled my eyes. "Since I'm getting ready to take on the alpha title. I don't want you screwing it up for me."
Damon's eyes narrowed. "Jeez you already talk like a damn alpha." He shivered. "I'm losing the fun guy."
I let out an annoyed exhale as we stepped into the history class. "We need to talk about Casper's recklessness. That damn vampire keeps messing with the humans here."
"Think he'll target the new girl?" Lester wondered out loud.
I'm about to answer him when the scent of vanilla bean flutters to my nose. I inhaled deeply, the scent mouthwatering.
I scan over every head, until my eyes fall in on hers. She must've sensed my gaze, because her head snaps up.
Those eyes.
"Hey man, where you going?" Damon voiced.
I didn't know my feet were taking me to her until I sat on the chair beside her.
Her scent was stronger here, and fucking addicting.
'Call dibs on the human?' Damon chuckled through the mind link.
I stare into her eyes deeply, unable to look away for some reason. She's the first to break eye contact, and squirms away from me.
Her actions didn't sit right with me.

Amelia's pov
I'm playing with the zipper on my bag in boredom when the door opens. Seconds later, a stare burned on my head.
Unable to shrug the feeling off, I lift my head.
Only for my eyes to connect with striking green swirls.
Those guys.
I stiffen. They're in this class.
The other two had yet to notice me, but the one in the middle. The one who seem to gather my attention.
His eyes were refusing to look away. I can't say I was different, I couldn't seem to look away too. And those crazy little flutters in my stomach were not helping.
How can such a handsome guy like that, be such a huge bully?
I try to ignore the feeling and tired my best to look away. But it seemed as though I was in a trance and hadn't even notice he was just beside me until he sat down on the chair just a couple inches away from me.
I shivered slightly, feeling the penetration of his stare more now that he was so close.
And his cologne.....
What was that?
His cologne smelled good this close.
Amelia what the hell are you doing!? Look away from him!
After an inwardly fight with my mind and body, I finally was able to break eye contact with the handsome boy.
I fisted my hands on my bag and looked around. Everyone were already seated, there were no empty chairs left.
Dammit.
I couldn't escape.
And the teacher had yet to arrive to get my mind off the guy's piercing stare.
I pressed my lips together, squirming away from him.
"Amelia," His voice came as a shock to me. Deep and husky. I clenched my hands into fists, squirming more in my seat.
God, he even had a magnetic voice.
I snapped my eyes to him, my brows furrowing. "How do you know my name?"
I try to ignore the gleam of his piercing on his lip.
He nodded his head and my desk. "Your book."
I looked down at my notebook, sure enough I had my name on there.
I flushed. "Can you look away?" I asked him as I tore my eyes away from his.
"People normally look at the person they're trying to introduce themselves to. Or is that not common where you are from?" I can hear the slight amusement in his tone, which added my frustration.
When he doesn't get a response from me, he decided to introduce himself. "I'm Raiden."
His name made a shiver run down my spine and I clenched my jaw. I need to get away from this guy.
Luckily the teacher saved me by finally showing up.
The only problem was that, the entire class, Raiden had not once removed his gaze on me.
Amelia's povThe second the bell rang I packed my bag and throw the strap over my shoulder. I was out of that class in less than a minute."Amelia,"There goes his smooth husky voice behind me.I stiffen, looking around for Foster as I try to ignore the brooding guy behind me. He didn't look like someone I'd catch their attention. So it was weird that he was trying to talk to me.Especially after I saw what he had done to that guy earlier.Where the hell was Foster?He said he'd meet me out here to show me to my next class."For being so short, you sure do walk fast." Raiden chuckled beside me.I gulped. He caught up.I gave him a slight glare from the corner of my eye, as I scooted away from him. " Can you like, leave me alone?"He raised a thick brow. "Why for?"I'm about to answer him when Foster calls me over. "Hey Amelia, over here!" He lifted his hand up, gesturing for me to come over.I looked at Raiden whose brows knot in a frown and then grumble under my breath. "Just stay aw
♡ Amelia's pov ♡I frowned.I was in his seat?I looked at the desk closely, it was new and unmarked.I looked up and my eyes connected with those green swirls that made my stomach knot.I ignored the feeling and voiced. "Your seat?"The tip of Raiden's lips curled up into a barely there smirk. "Yes, Amelia,"The way he said my name. I clenched my thighs together.What the hell was that feeling?"You're in my seat." He finished with a broader grin.My frown deepened.Was he so much of a jerk to actually make me change seats!?I scowled. "There's an empty chair here." I pointed at the vacant chair and desk beside me."But I don't want to sit there. I want my seat." He stressed, eyes flashing in amusement.I looked behind him at Mr. Scott, expecting him to tell Raiden to find another chair, one preferably vacant.But Mr. Scott was actually avoiding staring at us.I looked around the entire room. Everyone seemed to look at me with pity.Were they all afraid of Raiden?Was he some kind of
Raiden's pov" You've been giving that new girl attention all day today. Are you sure you don't want to bone that human?" Damon snorted, side-eyeing me.Lester pushes forward, his forearms on the seats. "The small blonde girl?" He questioned with furrowed brows.I rolled my eyes. "Jesus fucking Christ Damon, of course not. I was just teasing the damn girl."Damon snorted. "Teasing her eh? You were eye fucking her in the class, during lunch and literally was looking for the girl before we left. Bruh that little human caught your attention."I let out a groan running my hand down my face. "I don't care for humans, especially to fuck them."Damon laughed. "You probably shouldn't, they couldn't handle us any way."Lester snorted. "You toy with human girls on a regular Damon."Damon shrugged. "Yeah but at least they are bigger than that tiny girl. One thrust and she breaks. She won't be able to take on a wolf's cock."I grit my teeth. Somehow I didn't like the way he spoke about her. But
Amelia's povHer hostile voice didn't catch me off guard. I could somehow already sense she was a bitch as soon as she stepped into the diner. And her being around Raiden only proved her nasty personality.You'd have to be equally evil for you to be with a bully like Raiden.I narrowed my eyes, standing up, making her arch her neck. " And I am done listening," I uttered with no emotion in my voice and leaned forward slightly. " What will you do about it?" I arched a challenging brow.She looked surprised at first but then her eyes flashed an odd color that made me question if it was reality or not. " New girl have some balls," she sneered, gripping the edge of the table.Raiden's hand fall on hers, gripping as he commanded. " Calm down."And she did, slackening in his arms and plastered on a fake smile. " I like a girl who can bite," her girl friends giggled. " Why don't you come to the party I am hosting tomorrow night?"This girl must have a hundred personalities. One minute she is
Amelia's povToday started off as a shitty day. Not only did I get soaked to the bone because of the rain but the fans in the bathroom were not bloody working.It was freezing, I was freezing, I was literally shivering and there was no heat in this school. I groan, kicking the edge of the stall. The weather had looked pretty clear before leaving the house yet when dad dropped me off, suddenly the heavens poured on me."Hey," some girl in the stall I had just kicked shout. "You're disturbing my shit."I scrunched up my nose and decided I needed someone to help me. But I didn't really know anyone here yet and I wasn't sure Foster or Pickett was here. I got out of the bathroom and looked around.I was super early and the hallways were not crowded as yet. I sighed in relief when I spotted the short familiar girl with curly hair standing before a locker I presume is hers. I rush over to her, hoping Pickett would help me.She's startled a little at my appearance. " Please tell me you can he
Amelia's povI licked my lips, lifting one of my brow. " You know, where I am from, this is considered bullying and harassment."Look away Amelia. Don't stare into his stunning eyes. They'll trap you and make you feel things you've never felt before.One of his thick brows angled up in an amused arch. "Hmm. Where I am from, it mostly means I want to be friends with you."My nose wiggled as if I had smelt something nasty, which was the lies coming from his pillowy looking lips. "Bullshit. You don't want to be friends with me."His eyes danced and his eyes fall to my lips. "You're right. I don't want to be friends with you Amelia," the tip of his tongue draw out of his mouth and he brush it across his bottom lip, causing a stir in my soul. " I want something more." My heart skipped a sharp beat at his words and I interlocked my fingers, licking my rather dry lips as I looked away. " Well you better give up now, because you won't get it anything more." I heard his breathy snort before
Amelia's pov" Please tell me this isn't Raiden's hoodie," Foster's lips are slackened into a gape as he stared at the very oversized hoodie currently swallowing my petite figure.I winced, my fingers playing with the strap of my bag. " It is, but I am to return it later on."Foster looks terrified. " Amelia," he swallowed and looked behind me. Intrigued, I turn to stare at who had made him look like he swallowed a huge marble down his throat. My eyes fall on her, her narrowing eyes lighting up fire on the hoodie. She looks vexed.I rolled my eyes. "He's the one who pushed me to take it. It means nothing and if she has an issue with it, she should speak to him about it." I shrugged. My mom taught me to not fear anyone, including girls like Dayna.Foster doesn't look convinced and swallows, his eyes on Dayna. " I don't know Amelia, she looks pissed off."She does, there's no denying how much steam is coming out from her ears as she shoots me with silent death threats. I tugged at Raide
Amelia's povThe pleasure of feeling her bones break under my knuckles satisfied me enough for me to want to pull my hand back and aim once more.However before I could, Foster grips my hand to stop me and two girls who were beside Dayna held her back as she snarled.I smirked at her as one of the girls lean toward her ear and whispered something that my ears couldn't catch. Whatever she whispered seemed to calm down Dayna who resorted to glaring at me and holding her nose."Sorry, my hand slipped. But I guess we're even now?" I smiled sarcastically, tilting my head and winking at her."What's going on here!" The teacher boomed, seeming now to show his presence. A few minutes earlier would've been much better.The little crowd parted and everyone got to their seats except for Dayna and her friends and me. "New girl punched Dayna unprovoked." Dayna's friend shrilled in, her eyes accusing me. "Wait that's a lie!" Foster yelled and the girl who spoke up turned to give him a hard stare t
Raiden's povWhat had I ever seen in Dayna? Why did I ever give her the time of day? Why did it take me this long to realize she was a complete monster?My wolf shook through the restraints of my mind, simmering with rage. I could no longer hold back and stand up, startling Amelia when I heard her soft unexpected gasp. My fists clench at my sides, my claws digging into my palm, trying to stop myself from shifting there and then.With my vision sharpening, I knew I was losing the battle to restrain my wolf. I turn around sharply, of course confusing Amelia, but I had to do it in case I revealed too much way too soon." Raiden?" her soft, confused, questioning tone filter behind me where I had left her. I could not respond, frightened that my tone had shifted to that of my wild nature.' Is Pickett okay?' I question, my blood running cold knowing that the only reason she was targeted was because I took interest...more than just interest in Amelia.' She's shaken up, currently in the med
Raiden's povMy wolf felt it. I felt it. Something about this girl and how she made me feel was different. A good different. And as I stare into her piercing eyes, I register that she is no ordinary human, at least not to me. 'Raiden!' Damon's voice pierces through the mind link, pulling me out of my thoughts that were fueled with only Amelia. My wolf growls at the interruption, more irritated that our attention was cut from Amelia. I reluctantly pull my gaze away from the beauty in front of me, knowing that watching her alone would move me from reality, and judging by the sharpness of Damon's tone......I needed to be in reality now. ' What is it Damon?' I try to keep the irritation of being interrupted out of my voice, especially knowing he wouldn't interrupt if there wasn't an issue. ' Your psycho ex did something man,' his tone comes out shaken as though he couldn't believe something happened. My blood runs cold. Dayna. What had the bitch done this time?' What had she done!?
Amelia's povHis hand was warm, the feeling alone sending jolts of electricity through the veins in my arms until my entire body could feel his touch. His thumb starts to trace little circles on my skin, and I am instantly aware of how much bigger his hands are compared to mine.I swallowed once more. Hating him seemed to be more tortuous for me than it was for him. A shaky breath left my lips as I stare deep into his soul.There's a flash of something in his gaze, a flash of something wild and unknown. But it's quick to leave, quick to hide away from me to understand such a strange emotion.I gulped, my eyes shifting away from the pools that somehow undressed me and left me completely naked and bare. " It's not like I had a choice...." I drawled while trying to keep the vulnerability he seem to push out of me, away from my tone.My eyes on their own, slide down his straight nose to those lips I like to feel sliding across mine. " It seemed as though you'd hunt me down if I did,"A sw
Amelia's povI narrowed my eyes on him while trying to fight off the warm flush creeping up my neck by his words. " You don't get to boss me around," I huffed. Despite my words, I find myself settling on the red and white checkered blanket. I crossed my legs beneath me, thankful when a gust of cool wind brush against my flamed cheeks. I had a feeling my face was red from being teased every second by him. Raiden's lips curved into a grin that made the already wild butterflies in my stomach flutter more savagely. He settles on the blanket, stretching out beside me and angling his body toward me as he propped himself on his elbow. He stares at me intently. " I'm in your head again," he commented with a curved smile. I rolled my eyes and attempted to conceal the fact that he was absolutely right. " You wish," I scowled. Raiden doesn't say a word, only stares at me deeply. I feel instantly bare under his gaze, and with the way his eyes held mine, like he could see right through me...ho
Amelia's povRaiden's smile grew more as he gently pulled me out of the car, his hand strong and warm, clutching me like he was scared I'd let go. The feeling of him holding my hand, just my hand sent more tingles racing through me. My feet sink into the grass, the blades brushing against my ankles. The place felt like it was untouched, like an unrevealed world tucked away from everything else. It felt magical. And as he holds my hand tight while moving to the back to pull out the basket, I can't help but feel like he had brought me here to see a side of him I had never seen before. And perhaps, that was the side I needed to see. Perhaps, that was the side that was the real him. He clasp me like I was his lifeline as he started for the lake, me right by his side. I can't help but steal a glance at him. Trying to build my walls back up seems almost impossible now. Not when I am seeing this side of him. " This doesn't change anything you know," I murmur, my eyes drawing to our inter
Amelia's pov The excitement started to build as we moved deeper into the forest. I am not sure if it was the thrill of the unknown or just the thrill of being alone with Raiden himself, but something was making my heart race and my stomach fill with butterflies. I chewed on my lower lip, wondering if I would ever be able to control myself around him. " Are we there yet?" I cleared my throat, putting some bite into my tone to seem as though I was not looking forward to this date. Raiden glances over at me with that very same infuriating smirk that made my belly do knots. "Someone seems excited," he points out with a glint of happiness in his eyes. I rolled mine and remained quiet. " We're almost there baby," he commented after a little pause. " I know it's a long way but only the best for you. It will be worth it." My heart races faster, the bundle of nerves and excitement making my mind foggy. The way he said 'baby' got under my skin....in a good way. It was intimate and I hate
Amelia's povRaiden's grin widened and I knew he could see right through my lying excuse. " Right baby, let's go with that lie," smirking while he shifts the car back into gear. My ego would not make me stay quiet or let him be right so with a glare I snapped. " It's not a lie!" His chuckles move loud and deep in the confines of the vehicle as he pull away from the curb. " Sure baby," he was clearly amused by my defensiveness. " Keep telling yourself that." I glared at him, feeling my cheeks hot with burning frustration. His cockiness and playfulness were irritating and I hated that he could see right through me. Hiding my true self from Raiden was impossible. He already knew. " I don't know how you manage to be so annoying all the time," I mutter, crossing my arms over my chest and turning away from him so he'd not see the burn of red on my cheeks. Even though I was sure he had already seen it. Raiden didn't reply and I had a feeling he just didn't want to poke the bear also kno
Amelia's povNo, I couldn't fall for him. I wouldn't. My breath catches in my throat and I press my forehead against the glass, hoping that the coolness can somehow stop the heat running through my body. However, it didn't and this time I actually am not surprised. Raiden's mere presence was too overwhelming. I hated him, I should hate him, my mind tells me I should but my heart, it thrums louder the more I think about him......." You're glaring out that window pretty hard," Raiden suddenly joked. " What are you thinking so hard about in that pretty head spitfire?" I bit into the softness of my tongue until it pained as I riled in my emotions, well tried to. I pull back, pressing my back against the seat while my eyes return to the front, dead set on making sure I look nonchalant as possible. " Just trying to figure out a way to jump out of the vehicle and not having to see your face again," I mutter sarcastically. Raiden snorted. " Something tells me you would rather see my fac
Amelia's pov My breath catches in my throat, my cheeks reddening more hot. But it's not the heat of embarrassment that I had hoped for. It's the heat of need, desperate tickling need. Which is all the more frustrating. My pulse is racing and no matter how much I try to deny the feeling he invokes in me, my body betrays me and shows me the truth. " You're annoying," I mutter under my breath in a strained voice. Annoyingly tempting. I gripped the seatbelt around me tighter, my nails scrapping against the material. Would this ground me and make me resist him? No, impossible. I don't think anything would help me in this predicament. Raiden's husky laughter vibrates through the air, the tone setting me on fire. I bit into my lip, pressing my thighs together tighter. He knew what he was doing to me. He knew that he had the control. And I hated it. Despise it. I swallowed hard, the lump in my throat returning the second I felt his eyes on me. I looked out the window, my fingers trembl
