WILLIAM
"I don't understand. What exactly is a mate?" Amelia asked in a small voice.
I moved to the bed and pulled her on my lap. "well, a mate is somewhat like a soul mate. A vampire is born with half their soul and the other half is placed inside their partners or mates in this case; So when the vampire finally meets that person their souls finally come together making them complete. It feels like you were living with half a heart before them and everything comes together once they lay eyes on one another," I explained as best as I could.
She looked thoughtful for a moment before looking at me with an incredulous expression, "How are we mates when you are a vampire? You're lying to me, aren't you? Vampires are manipulative and hurt humans just like you're doing to me!" she claimed before running for the door.
She was just about to exit but I rushed forward and snaked my arm around her waist and pulled her into my chest. I buried my face into her neck before tipping it forward, close to her ear.
"Does this hurt?" I whispered seductively in her ear as my arm crawled underneath her nightdress and caressed the smooth skin of her thighs.
"Does this feel like manipulation to you?" I questioned and a moan escaped her throat.
In an instant, I pulled her around so that she'd face me; My eyes settled on her slightly parted, pink lips and instinctively my thumb ran across her bottom lip and her eyes fluttered close in response.
"Stop doing this!" she breathed out; I kissed each of her eyelids, they fluttered open in response and her warm eyes peered into mine.
"I'm not doing anything," I said truthfully. "This between us," I gestured to the small space between the both of us, "it's meant to be."
She stared at me for a few more minutes before detaching herself from me and taking a few steps back, "So I'm your mate," she mused in realization whilst I only smiled in reply.
"this bond that we share, is there some way to demolish it?" she asked after a few seconds and just like that the smile I wore faltered of my face and rage began swarming through my nerves.
How dare she even question me about something like that? I could feel my teeth elongate and my eyes darken; I was afraid I'd hurt Amelia if I didn't get any blood to calm me down.
"There isn't any way to get rid of what we have love," I growled out before pushing her out of the way and making my way to the slave room for a little drink to calm myself.
As soon as I arrived at the slave room, I spotted one of my usual feeders and an old f*** buddy. I couldn't be bothered to remember her name so I snapped my fingers to get her attention. She spotted me almost instantly and began sauntering towards me with an extra swing to her hips.
"What would you like, Master?" she purred out and a smirk slowly crept up to my face, "Just a bite darling," with that I sank my aching teeth into her neck as she let out a pleasured moan. I continued to drink and my hands wrapped around her tiny waist as I pulled her closer. After a while of indulgence I retracted from her neck and licked her wound clean.
"Now would you perhaps want to have a little more fun?" she bit her lip giving me the clear message of what she was trying to suggest but unfortunate for her I couldn't bring myself to find her attractive; in fact, I didn't find anyone appealing anymore, not after Amelia.
"I don't think so sweetheart," I countered before leaving her and to my room where my love awaited my arrival.
As soon as I walked through my bedroom doors I found my precious angel sobbing her heart out, curled up against the bed-post. I hurried towards her and wrapped my arms around her small frame.
"What happened?Who hurt you? I am going to kill them!" I growled out at the thought of someone hurting my mate. After a while of silence, Amelia began pushing against my chest trying to pry me from off her.
" I want to go home," she sobbed out and that's when rage began swarming through my system.
"YOU ARE HOME!" I growled out which caused her to sob louder.
"NO!" She screamed; I wanted to hurt something or someone ever so badly but refrained myself from doing so.
"Listen here little girl, you are mine, this is your home now and if you try to escape me there will be consequences!" I snarled viciously as my hands grabbed her shoulders in a rough hold.
She began screaming and kicking in response but it only made me angrier. I shoved her on the bed and climbed on top of her, "Like I said there will be consequences so you can comply with my wishes or suffer!" I gave her an ultimatum.
"NO!" she screamed again and that's when I lost it my hands left her shoulders and instead travelled down to her thighs, In a slow yet torturous manner my hand crept up and her sobs died down.
She shuddered in response and let out a needy moan, "do you understand?" I breathed out in her ear as a shiver ran down her spine.
I tightened my grip on her creamy thighs to get out an answer and she nodded weakly in reply as her eyes fluttered close and she let out another moan.
I looked at her pretty face one last time before placing a rough, scorching kiss on her plump lips and making my way out of the room leaving my sad little angel behind. I knew it was going to be hard having a young human as a mate but I didn't think it would this hard.
I took a deep breath and stared at my bedroom door, I didn't want to force Amelia to do anything she didn't want but If she didn't give in to our mate bond soon, I would have to resort to many things that wouldn't appeal to her and may even seem cruel and heartless but I had waited too long for her and now I didn't have much patience left in me.
AMELIAI couldn't believe the nerve of that man! He claimed that he loved me but treated me like I was some sort of a slave; I couldn't deny the sparks but I could try to ignore them. If he was telling the truth about being my mate I still couldn't be with him, he was much too older than me and even if surprisingly I looked past the age difference he was still a vampire and vampires are cold, ruthless creatures that can never love!I was certain of that thus I would never love him. Without any intention, my eyes drifted down to my thighs where oncethe mysterious man's large hands grasped my skin. I had never felt anything like that, granted I had never even been in close proximity to a man bu
WILLIAM"I WANT TO LEAVE NOW!" I sighed frustratedly as little Amelia began throwing one of her persistent tantrums. What I couldn't believe was how such a tiny body could handle this much screaming! This was her fifth tantrum in the last hour and I had finally had enough!Storming through the hallways I burst through my bedroom doors and saw the little minx sprawled over my bed with the right side of her face tucked into a pillow and the other side evident of red, puffy eyes that tear after tear slid from and her adorable button nose, a deep red shade.It pained me to see her like this bu
AMELIAAs the gentle wind swept up my hair I began thinking about my plan toescape, my gaze was fixated on the setting sun in front of me and it gave me a comforting feeling. I had asked William to let me out so that I could scope the area and find a safe route to decamp from. The branch I had climbed gave me a clear view of the vast grounds around me.I recounted the way William spoke about my family and my home, it angered me to no end but I had pretended to accept his not so apologetic apology because it was all part of my scheme. I had toprove myself to be trustworthy so that William could be more lenient on me and let me have a little more freedom so that when the time is right I'd leave without further complications.
WILLIAM"What exactly do you mean?" I questioned with a threateningglare. The young vampire before me began tremblingwith utter fear. Rage, that's all I felt when the boy in front of me delivered a message from Dimitri Roosevelt."Y-your highness, L-lord D-Dimitri is requesting a meeting w-with you," he stuttered out once more."That bastard expects me to meet him in a civil manner and not take his head off?" I questioned with a smirk as I began stalking towards the boy with a predatory gaze."Y-Your Highness L-lord Dimitri wanted me to inform you that he and his men have taken over the northern territory and theyare threatening to e-execute the p
AMELIAI was somewhat cross towards William for shouting at me for no apparent reason but all that anger had subdued due to the sublime reading session I had with him in the royal library. I remembered his oddly soothing voice reading to me and then it all went blank as I slipped into a dreamless slumber. Upon my remembrance I looked around, expecting to find myself laidon the library sofa on which William had perched me up on his lap but I was surprised when I looked around to see the all too familiar bedroom lit up with a soft glow of floor lamp that stood dauntingly at the right corner of the room.Throwing the silk sheets that covered my body at the end of the bed I got up; I was pleased to see myself in the same floral ankle-length dress I had donned
WILLIAMGently, I swept one of the tresses of Amelia's hair back as it clung to her face; her lips were parted slightly and her chest moved up and down due to the rhythm of her breathing. I couldn't help but continue to stare at the little angel in front of me; I had continued doing so for the past thirty minutes and just couldn't bring myself to leave her.A slow smile made its way to my face as I began thinking about my past life, the life which was carefree, no worries, with countless mistresses and nothing holding me back but as my eyes began taking in every inch of my mate's delectable body I knew I'd never been able to go back. The life I was living was incomplete but because of the lit
AMELIAMy eyes fluttered open but immediately shut close once the bright sunlight attacked my weak eyes. I groaned and turned around expecting to face William but surprisingly he wasn't there. I scratched my head in confusion whilst getting out of bed and stretching before heading to the bathroom to freshen up. It was odd how I was beginning to get accustomed to life here in the castle when in fact it had only been a few days since I was brought here against my will.Going through the closet I ended up selecting an evidently comfortable white maxi and a pair of white flats. Throwing on my selected clothing I headed out of the room to the kitchen for something to eat but as soon as I was down the last step of the stairs I saw the same blond I had met last night b
WILLIAMIt infuriated me when Amelia questioned me about Dimitri but nothing could compare to the rage I felt when Amelia divulged that she had spent time alone with Dimitri. Had he told her about what I had done? Had they talked about his rebellion? Would she join him in his mission to diminish the Vampire regime and gain human rights back again?All those questions flooded my mind; I couldn't lose her! Maybe the best decision in this case scenario would have to be murdering Dimitri. I'd have to abandon my plan of torturing him and end his miserable existence before Amelia's curiosity costs me, my mate. With a dejected sigh, I began making my way to the underground dungeon where Dimitri was being held.&
Amelia gently laid a single rose near the tombstone which spelled Margo's name in a beautifully calligraphed writing. Even though it had nearly been a decade Amelia hadn't forgotten the witch's kindness and had a memorial built in her honor. She had also extended the same courtesy to all her beloved friends and peers she lost at the human nursery and visited it often, paying respect to every benevolent soul from her past.The gentle wind swept up her unruly yet lustrous cocoa locks as the dull-gray clouds, mantling the vicinity, began morphing into a harsh ambiance as the sky turned a few shades darker and the echoing thunder roared after minutes of interval.There was a storm coming,Amelia noted before speeding towards the castle.
AMELIAMy body was on fire, utterly excruciating! I wanted it to end oh-so-terribly. My throat constricted with a thirst so substantial that I really believed that I'd die if it wasn't quenched! Using the negligible amount of energy I could employ, I opened my eyes only to release a startled gasp. Everything was so, so... intricate?From the walls to the vanity mirror, I could see it all in so much detail. Every molecule visible to my eye if I concentrated enough and it made me contemplate how I could ever miss all this. I gulped aloud consequently bringing attention back to my unyielding thirst. Taking a deep breath, I tried to calm my primal urge but somehow that seemed to worsen the situation as a swe
WILLIAMHer lithe body lain peacefully below mine as I caressed her taut yet supple skin, revelling in the glory of her desperately anticipated surrender. I had finally claimed my little mate in every possible way and might I add, there were many, many pleasurable ways. Just the thought of our activities earlier sent a rush of desire down my spine; she truly was perfect. Now all that was left was the kiss of death to finally turn her so that we may have our eternity.The only sounds in the room were coming from the crackling of the fire sputtering in the fireplace rooted on the wall across the bed and the steady breathing from the precious angel beneath me. My gaze moved across the room in a subtle manner before settling on the grand, mahogany clock perched in the far right. The clock clearly indicated that it was still eleven forty-five meaning that there were still fifteen minutes to go till it was midnight, the time
AMELIAI couldn't move from my spot as I watched the last important man of my life walk away. I couldn't understand why I was acting so incompetent. I was sure Dimitri was the right choice but when I watched William walk away an unexplainable painpossessed my body and it only seemed to grow the further he got, that was when I had the epiphany that perhaps William was not as insignificant to me as I belied myself to believe and I was sure Dimitri realized that too thus leaving me to find my way back to William.I felt sorry watching Dimitri walk away but it didn't hurt, not like William. Dimitri was a good man but not the one for me, of that I was certain now and so taking a deep breath, I regained
DIMITRIAs William walked out I still couldn't comprehend the sacrifice he had made for Amelia. Yes, she was his mate but the fact that he was willing to go to such an extent for even her was astonishing. I was still on the floor, my back pressed against the pristine walls for support after the brawl with him. I was stunned yet there was a glimmer of joy that began settling within my chest as the realization set in about the fact that I could finally be with Amelia without any obstacle standing in my way but then I remembered, I failed, I failed Julia!I could never move on with Amelia unless Julia's wish of better human conditions wasn't fulfilled, my consciouswouldn't let me. I had to finis
WILLIAMI finally had her back and there was no other victory sweeter I could think of. As her delicate body fit against mine I couldn't help but take a whiff of her sweet vanilla scent that had craved so very much during all those dreadful days she was not by my side.I was in bliss, her body pressed against mine gave me comfort and after such a long wait I was finally content until his scent permeated my senses effectively leading me to push Amelia behind me and facing the bastard that was hell-bent on trying to take my everything. I could feel my angel's tiny arms encircle around my abdomen and it seemed Dimitri noticed that too but instead of the raged expression, I expected to see as a response his
AMELIAI didn't know why but I felt really restless; snuggling deeper into the couch I began contemplating all that happened since the 'embracing incidence' at the pond I was so very confused about my feelings. On one hand, Dimitri was absolutely perfect, he was the type of man I envisioned as my prince when I was just a little girl but infuriatingly what I felt for William was much more intense and at this point, I was even certain that it was not only because of our bond.I continued to remain seated and contemplated my options about both men when all of a sudden I felt the foam of the sofa on the right dip, indicating that someone joined me. I turned my head to see a solemn appearing Margo sitting upright instantly, I felt a rush of guilt swarm through
WILLIAMThree weeks had passed with Elizabeth in my ever so caring custody and she had revealed almost everything except for the most significant thing, my little one's location. I had almost ripped the bitch's head off when she divulged how brutally she knocked out my mate and took her to the bastard, all because of her uncanny obsession for me, but I controlledmyself for the greater good. Nevertheless, there were those not so dull moments of the interrogationwhen Elizabeth refused to speak thus leading my men to torture the information out of her. I had planned for the final inquiry today and finally extract my angel's location through a mind intruding spell Lillian, one of my five witches, had been working on through the weeks so that we could take a look inside Elizabeth's filthy brain and find where Amelia was thus conclusively getting rid of the v
AMELIAThe warm drops of clear water cascaded down my bare skin as I strolled out the small bathroom located in the room I had been staying in for the last few months. I still hadn't gotten used to the brightly painted sunny yellow walls that mantled the standard sized space; they always got me to squint a little due to the sheer vividness provided by them. I made my way to the closetand picked out a random, floral-patterned dress.It turned out to be a black based fabric with various miscellaneous coloured flowers printed atop. I let out a little laugh once my crazy brain began comparing the dress to my state, the way I was grief-stricken like the shade of jet black in the back but appeared to be joyous and cheerful upfront but then my mind flashed to an
