Amelia's POV

The boy I saw a couple of nights ago suddenly stands in front of me, one hand brushing my cheek.

"Finally..." He whispers, almost like he's about to cry. "I thought I'd lost you."

I made contact with his eyes and my heart stops.

He killed a man, Amelia... Ripped his heart out by his very hands....the hands he's touching you with.

And as if that had brought me back to life, I flinch out of his touch. His eyes flash with hurt.

"Hunter," He says, looking at Pop. "Kill that man. He saw me shift. I'll get Amelia out of here."

I suddenly realize a boy, round about Axel's age, standing beside him.

A shiver runs down my spine and the hairs on my neck stand up. Adrenaline pumps through me and I finally find my voice.

It comes out strong and powerful.

"No!" I warn, standing protectivly over Pops. "You lay one finger on my Grandpa and I swear to God..."

My heat pumps uncontrollably and I feel like my lungs are about to burst.

Axel raises a finger to his companion and stares at me, then at Pa.

"Your Grandad?.." He questions and I nod.

"Well he saw me shift so what do we do, Hunter?"

He turns to look at he guy beside him.

Hunter shrugs then sais, "Take him home...I know a vampire who can compel him to you know...forget."

My eyes widen and I can feel anger start to arise from within me.

What do they mean compel? No ones going to touch him...no ones going to hurt him.

A hand caresses my shoulder.

"Amelia," Pop says slowly. "Calm down, love. Deep breaths- that's it."

His voice helps but doesn't calms down the burning sensation in my head.

The idea of someone hurting the only being that loves me fills me with rage, nothing but anger!

"Good idea." Axel sais, and Hunter starts approaching us.

I narrow my eyes at him, silently telling him to back off.

He just smirks and continues walking forward.

"If you want him, you'll have to go through me!" I shout, placing myself in between them.

He gives a questioning look to Axel.

"Amelia, don't be difficult. There's so much you don't know," Axel says firmly.

"Back off, now." I tell Hunter. "I''
m warning you-"

"Amelia! I am your Alpha and you will obey me! Do as your told and move aside," Axel orders and I feel myself internally shrink, but I fight it.

If he knew who I was, he'd know that I'm rebellious and go my no one's rules.

I hold my ground and see him start to shake, his hands shaped into fists.

"One more chance, mate," He spits. "Submit."

What the hells an Alpha? Mate!

I can see him starting to lose it, and I mentally cringe, thinking that he's exactly like me... But not.

"No..." I whisper, knowing he heard me.

"Axel...don't!" Hunter shouts but was to late.

Before he and I could react, Axel was at my face within a heart beat.

He hit me against a tree, his body firm against mine, his hands holding mine above my head.

Tingles of desire flourished in my body and I mentally curse. What was this hot killer doing to me?

No, I can't let him take Pa away...God knows what he'll do... God knows what he'll so with me.

"Get the old man, Hunter! Take him back to his home." Axel commands. "I'll deal with my mate."

A grin forms on his perfect lips when he sais the last word.

"Don't touch him! Let me go!" I yell.

But he ignores my plees and nods for Hunter to continue.

I tried wiggling and squirming out of his hold but it was no use. I shot him a pleading look, desperate to be let free.

"Stop! Please..."

Pop looks at me as if its the last time he'll ever see me. He raises a hand out  to me and I scream, feeling tears form in my eyes.

Was I going to die? Die in the hands of this murderer?

The fire inside of me was long burn't out and I suddenly wished it wasn't.

It's the only thing that makes me feel strong. Gets me away from being vulnerable and weak...

"Calm down, love. You will see him again. I promise." He whispers.

That didn't calm me down. Didn't help settle the panic rising inside of me.

My brain is screaming for me to do something... Anything! But my body can't seem to respond.

My breaths come in gasps and I feel like I might black out.

My heart starts hammering inside my chest like it belongs to a rabbit running after its skin.

The forest spins and I fall to the floor, everything going black...
