18 Amelia's pov I try to pretend that I am bored of his words , that they did not affect me in the slightest , and push him away , dusting off the imaginary dust on my clothes while glaring at him . " You're getting a bit bold now huh " I harsh out . He shrugged . " Maybe it's cause I can't hold my want for you any longer spitfire . " I narrowed my eyes and whipped around , walking away as I snorted over my shoulder . " What's the saying ? The bad boys always want what they can't have . I should warn you , I'm not exactly a good girl . " " I like myself a bad girl , " he said way too close to me . " And you're a very very bad girl spitfire and I assure you I can handle you . " He said amused which ticked me off . " Well too bad I won't let you handle me because I won't give in . Might want to crawl back to your girl Dayna . " I sneered over my shoulder and gasp when I felt long fingers wrap around my arm and tugged me around . Our chests pressed as I am pulled to him , the harshness of our breaths rowing through the air and battling each other . He stares deep into my soul . " It may not seem sincere to you Amelia , but I am honest . I don't know why , or how it started , but I have this burning desire for you that I can't stop . " My heart rams in my ribcage , The butterflies flutter wildly . Shit . He has entrapped me in those pools once more . " And here I thought you said you want to be my friend . " I breathed out , reminding him of his words when we first met . His intention as he had mentioned , was to be friendly . His eyes flickered down to my lips . " Sorry . I had forgotten to say boy before that word " The sincerity in his voice shook me and I stumble out of his hold , completely taken aback I shook my head , not understanding why he was affecting me this much . This wasn't the first time a cute guy flirted with me But Raiden , something was different . Pull yourself together Amelia Raiden is bad news Turning around I said over my shoulder softly " Too bad you won't be either Now can we go or should I call an Uber ? " I had to focus tonight And this six - foot hot bully wasn't helping " Wait here , I forgot my keys I'll go back to fetch them " He said behind me , already running back to the house before I could respond When he came back a couple of minutes later , I noticed that something had changed and his aura had become dangerous Raiden's pov I knew it wouldn't be easy to break those walls Amelia has up but I had every intention to not give up . There was something about that little human that intrigued me , and even more now so that I just found out she's Giovanni's daughter which makes her Damon's cousin It feels a little off that I did not know he had a daughter at all I can't put my finger on it but something about it doesn't quite make much sense I could tell my parents were hiding something from me and I would have to question them about it As I opened the door and stepped into the foyer , my footsteps slowed down when I heard Amelia's name being brought up . 3 18 +25 BONUS " She has a bit of resemblance to him . There's no doubt he's her dad , " Mom says faintly . " I agree , " dad chimed in . " She does look like Sirus . " I froze . That name . I remember that name . A flashback of an older man taunting me when I was younger resurfaces and my hands clenched into fists . I can remember clearly , I can remember his words , his mocking stare and the purpose of him having men kidnap me . That was years ago but this man has haunted me and my family for years . I have caught my parents speaking about him a few times . Recalling the difficult times he had them go through . He had made our lives a living hell . I ground my teeth together . Was it the same Sirus ? What are they talking about ? " I know it's hard to pretend to be her dad Giovanni but you know we couldn't have her go into the foster system . It would have been a grand risk we could t take . Her being Sirus's daughter isn't safe for her no matter if she is human or not . The safer place here for her is here with you , with us . " Mom whispered . " Luna , I have no issues with her . Amelia is a lovely girl and I am honestly happy that Ftook up your offer to be her dad . She's growing on me and I truthfully forget sometimes that I am actually not biologically her father . " Giovanni sighed . Their words made me stiffen . What are they saying ? Is Amelia …. Is Amelia Sirus's biological daughter ? Why- " She is isn't she , " Mom said happily . " I pray that one day we will find a way to tell her all of this , tell her the truth about her father . But for now , we need to keep a close eye on her . God knows what that sick bastard Siru's did . He could've experimented with her mother , turning Amelia into something we are not sure of yet . " " Yes , we still think she may have been the one to kill her guardian . She also shows that she has anger issues , the principal called me in today because she broke Dayna's nose " Mom gasped " Did he say anything else ? Did she show signs of change ? " " No He doesn't think so . But he said we need to keep a really good eye on her , " Giovanni said " Hmm , " mom hummed " I still think we need to keep her in the dark about the shifter world until we understand what she is She may look and seem human but something in my gut tells me Sirus's offspring will not only be that Keep an eye on her Giovanni , we can't risk making a mistake with her " I take a step forward , trying to see them but my elbow ends up hitting a blue vase that had been sitting on the table . I grab it before it could fal ! " Son ? " Dad called out to me , already knowing I was there " Yeah , I forgot my keys . " I cleared my throat , walking into the dining room and picking up the keys I had left on the table Dad had that stern look that told me he knew I had eavesdropped on their conversation Not being able to hold it in , I turn to Mom Is Amelia really Sirus's daughter ? " Mom flinched and nodded . " She is " " Sirus the council leader ? " She nods once more , wincing " We had to- I chuckled dryly " You entered the daughter of a man who made us go through hell ? " I fisted the keys in my hand brutally And luding the truth from her ? " THA +25 BONUS Mom and dad both flinched , even Rayne who had been quietly listening to them talk looks uncomfortable . " I can't even deal with this right now , " I shook my head as I backed away , turning on my heel to head outside . " Raiden- Mom called out softly but I didn't respond and thankfully dad tells her she should leave me alone . I stormed out of the house , startling Amelia who stood waiting for me . As I stared at her , I couldn't stop seeing the bastard who taunted me , and made me fear for the first time in my life . The man who promised to harm my entire family and let me help bury their corpse . I can still remember everything like it had happened just yesterday . And it angered me . It angered me so much because I knew …. I could never look at Amelia the same again . BIG SALE : 3500 BONUS FREE FOR YOU ! Click to get it 314
