So : CANT WAIT FOR THE UPDATE! UR AN AMAZING WRITER
Me: Thank you so much! You are awesome! I am planning to end this story within two-three chapters. I hope this one is good.
Ethan's POV
I really miss Amelia. From the first moment I saw her, I knew she was special. I was having lunch at one cozy Italian restaurant, recommended me by my colleagues, when I met Mia. I just had to have her number. Something in her brown eyes made her adorable; her smile was like the sun. I had hoped she agrees to go on at a date with me, and was happy when she accepted.
I loved to have her curled to me as we watch scary movies, hiding in the crook of my neck as when something scary happens on the screen. I adored the way she played with children, made hairdos of the little girls as Amelia was helping her friend Tamara handle her class.
But I couldn't tell her my secret. I couldn't just transform in front of her, and then back to my human form as nothing had happened. That terrified me for a long time.
When Mia found out, I felt free. No more hiding. But I wanted to kill that vampire; I never desired anything more in the world. He had to pay for her tears, sleepless nights, bad eating. This has to end with his death.
Jacob's POV
The woman in my arms hated me, her kiss told me that. Amelia's lips didn't respond mine with the same passion we had in the bed a few hours ago. But I should have expected this. Our time together was only caused by the spell I used, not Amelia's free will. She would never come and embrace me, pull me into a kiss or undress me. Mia would never caress my hair lovingly or cuddle with me. She didn't love me, she only desired that filthy Ethan!
I tightened my arms around my beautiful woman and inhaled the scent of her hair. I didn't want to lose her! No other man is worthy of her! No other man deserves her kind, innocent smiles or the listen to her laugh. No other man has the right to touch her body, ran his fingers through silky hair. No other man will be her husband!
'' I'm the one you need. Why can't you see that?''- Whispering into her ear, I caressed Mia's neck, my eyes lingering on the veins. The feisty woman smelt deliciously, like a good wine, caramel and vanilla. I was getting hungrier with each second I hold her in my embrace. Mia's blood could become my new addiction, and if things were otherwise it would be very pleasurable for her. Humans, especially women, begged me to drink from them, and always came back for more.
'' You are not the man you used to be, Jacob. Everything is over.''- Amelia tried to get up, but I pulled her again to sit in my lap and my grip got tighter.
'' But it doesn't have to be. I could change. ''- Tears formed in my eyes again as my heart broke. I really wanted for Amelia to love me, to give her good and happy life. When I started stalking her I was fascinated by how much she was like my Cassandra. The way she walked was the same, the way she pushed her hair back. Every gesture, smile. The way she ate, lifted a glass to her lips. It was like the past time was erased and I was looking at my Cassie, but in different clothes. I never cheated on my Cassandra while we were married; my friends mocked me about this. But I was under her spell from the moment her eyes met mine.
Every time Amelia walked down the street I fought the urge to reach her and squeeze her warm, little palm in mine. It had become maddening to follow Mia around the town and not to touch, caress and kiss. I just wanted a simple contact with the new reason I feel alive. Just to hold her hand was enough. I wished to be her protector, the only man she smiles at.
If only Amelia had given me a chance, I would give her the life she always dreamt of. We would live everywhere she chooses, buy whatever she likes. If I had Mia, I wouldn't need anything else in the world. Maybe after time I would turn her. Amelia's beauty will be preserved for eternity. The woman before me would have forever her long eyelashes, red lips and soft skin. I would teach my beauty how to feed, control the new abilities, and embrace who she will be.
'' You can never change. You continue to say you love me, but you forced yourself upon me, killed my friends. You love a memory, Jacob. Now let me go!''- The woman slapped me and fought to free herself from my embrace.
'' Let you go?! So you can return to that wolf?! So you can belong to another?!''- I kissed her and bit her bottom lip and Mia winced.
'' I don't belong to anyone!''- She hissed at my face and her brown eyes burnt me with their intensity.
'' But you love your precious Ethan and chose him over me! The man who knows you better than anyone-me! And you threw that away because of some blond doctor!'' – My grip on her forearms was bruising, but I didn't loosen the hold. The jealous fire began to burn with full force as I recalled all the times the tall werewolf was near my Amelia.
'' I didn't choose Ethan over you! I chose me! Me!''- Mia shouted in my face.-'' I chose to live my own life, not somebody else's. I chose the freedom, the free will. I didn't fall into your arms like you wanted because of Ethan; I didn't because I could never love you. I can't ever feel something for the man who ruined my life.''
'' Let the wolf try to take you away from me.''- I lowered my head and sunk my fangs into her neck. I was prepared for Ethan, the man that stole my beloved's heart. I knew Steven would offer to help them and my child would lead my rival to me. I will finish once and for all the young man and have Amelia all to myself. My hands slid down Mia's back and clutched the shirt as I drank the wonderful warm blood. My stubborn bird fought me, her nails dug in my forearms, but I didn't stop. Her taste was so addicting, the beloved body so close to mine, brown hair begging me to ran my fingers through her and skin made for my kisses. I would never allow Amelia to belong to another!

The day I found out I was pregnant was the happiest in my life. I was going to be a mother! I and Jacob will finally have a child of our own. We were married for so long and the fact I couldn't conceive always tormented me. Maybe something was wrong with me, some illness or… I had spent nights silently crying because I couldn't bring my dear husband the joy of being a father, for him to hold his own flesh and blood. Jacob had always hugged me, and told me that it will happen, we just had to wait, but I could see it was troubling him too.
All of our married friends had children, watch them slowly growing up. It was heartbreaking for me to listen how my friends speak about their babies, the stories they told for good night. My tears always appeared when I see how they play with their children, ruffle the hairs of their sons, and smile at their daughters. I wanted that too. I felt like a half woman for not having a child. I had the love of a great man, but my heart craved for a kid. Jacob loved me with all his heart, but sometimes he was distant. I feared he might have found a mistress, or want to divorce me. The fear was crushing me inside, I didn't want to lose Jake, he made me happy. But I couldn't do a single thing if he expresses his wish to break our marriage. After all I was unable to give him an heir. His parents became colder towards me, and Jacob often argued with them about me.
His father had found another suitable woman for my Jake to wed, but my husband hadn't agreed to divorce me. His mother, Megan Thorn, turned down my every attempt to invite them over, and only asked for her son. I wasn't important anymore, she didn't notice me. The rare times my mother in law looks at me; it was like I was a servant girl, not her son's wife. We had exchanged some very hateful words with her and I could see it was affecting my relationship with Jacob.
'' You probably have another!''- I had yelled through tears one night.
'' Don't be ridiculous! I never dared to look at another! You enchanted me, sweet Cassie. I am faithful to you, always. ''- My husband had ran his hand through his wavy hair and made a few steps towards me.-'' I love you!''
'' Lies! You hate me! I am a damaged woman.''- I sat on the floor and wrapped my arms around me. –'' Your father has found you at least three perfect ladies to be your new brides. You just have to pick one.''- I hid my face in my hands and sobbed. My marriage was falling apart and it was because of me. My heart was breaking into two from the thought I won't see Jacob ever again, hear his voice. But he has the right to break our marriage and I couldn't stop him. It will kill me inside me, but I will accept it.
'' I love you, Cassie. I don't want anyone else but you. We can adopt a child.''- My dear husband knelt before me and pulled me into a hug.-'' Don't ever think of yourself as damaged. You are perfect for me. ''- Jake kissed the top of my head.
And now as I knew for sure I was expecting a child, I couldn't hide my smile. I sat on our bed and waited for Jacob to return to tell him the wonderful news. I imagined having a son with his father's hair and my eyes. And later maybe a daughter. I dared not think of baby names, it was too soon and I have heard it was a bad sign.
'' Nice to see you, my little bird.''- My Jake entered and smiled as he walked to me. –'' You smell divine.''- My husband kissed my neck.
'' The perfume you bought me.''- I squeezed his hands.-'' I have something to tell you.''- I cleared my throat, trying to hide the smile.
'' What is it?''- Jacob put a strand of hair behind my ear.
'' You are going to be a father. ''- I started crying from joy and my love kissed me and spun me in the air.
'' Thank you for this gift. My love.''- My eyes met his as our lips locked again.
The vampire stopped drinking from me .I leant my forehead against Jacob's to study myself, so the dizziness caused by the vision to just go away. I was a little lightheaded because of the blood loss too.
'' What did you see?''- The man said caressing my cheek and I lifted my head and met his eyes.
'' I told you I was pregnant. You were so happy.''- The words were slurred and I tried to get up.
'' We can have that again.''- Jacob smiled at the memory and steadied me with his hands on my waist. He bit his wrist and gave me to drink so my bite could heal. I wanted to yell at him, but my vision was very blurry, and the wound on my neck was bleeding. So I grabbed his wrist and took his blood to restore my strength, I will need it.
'' Never. I chose to be me, Amelia Gordon, not your dead wife.''- I said after wiping the red liquid from my lips. Ethan was never the reason why I fight this. Yes, I love the cute blond man so, but this wasn't about him. It was my life, and how I want to live it. I needed to make my own decisions, and not because it was meant to. I had to have control in my own life, not repeat my past one. This forced love was never for me, I didn't feel it right.
Jacob opened his mouth to speak, but then the windows shattered, the door broke from its hinges. I turned around and saw Ethan, his father and cousin to jump inside and land on their feet. Steven flew in and eyed his maker. Other men appeared and from the way their eyes changed their color, they were werewolves. The hunter Robert Barnes pulled out his gun and aimed at the vampire, but he dodged the bullet.
'' Ethan! I was expecting you!''- Jacob grinned and avoided the werewolf's punch.-'' You brought friends? Can't defeat me yourself, boy?'' – Ethan transformed into a grey wolf and his teeth were about to close around the vampire's leg when Jacob pulled out a gun with silver bullets and shot at my doctor. Derek took the bullet for his son, luckily it was in the shoulder and the older man hissed as he removed it. The skin was sizzling, and Ethan's father gritted his teeth.
I ran to Ethan and threw my arms around him. I had missed dreadfully this man, his warmth.
'' I love you.''- I said after showering him with kisses. My heart was beating so loud. The man was holding me close, caressing my hair and placing kisses on my cheeks and lips.
'' Did he hurt you?''- Ethan asked eyes searching my face for signs of pain.
'' No, I am fine.''- Total lie. Ethan must never know what I did with Jacob.
'' Did you sleep with that demon?''- His voice was hollow, green eyes burning me.
'' Yes, she did. And she enjoyed it.'' – The vampire answered for me as he was shooting at the werewolves and blocking their attacks. Robert had stabbed him in the leg, but he threw the hunter against the wall.
'' I didn't …''- But Ethan released me like burnt. In his green eyes I saw so much betrayal. Like somebody ripped out my heart.
'' How could you! I lost sleep searching for you and you were warming his bed!''- My blond doctor balled his fists and I was on the verge of crying again.
'' He poisoned me with some potion. You have to believe me.''- I grabbed his hand.-'' Please. ''- Ethan ran his fingers through dark-blond hair, but didn't pull his hand back.-'' If you love me, you will know I speak the truth. You know me.'' – The man before me stared at me for what felt like eternity, until he embraced me and kissed me passionately.
'' I'm so sorry, Mia.''- He said touching my cheek lovingly. Then his eyes flashed in blue and he let me go.- ''That monster probably gave you a potion so you can give him a child. ''
'' What?!''- Like somebody punched me in the stomach. I turned around. Some of the werewolves were bleeding, but Jacob was too. Him having a gun with silver bullets was helpful.
Suddenly Ethan started to cough and fell on his knees. The other werewolves returned to their human forms and did the same. Robert stood up and went to Valentine to help him up, but Ethan's cousin coughed blood.
I rushed to Ethan and lifted his head.
'' Baby, what's wrong?''- My boyfriend was sweating and another painful cough escaped him.
'' It's burning me inside.'' – He tried to get up, but his knees buckled.
'' What did you do?''- Steven attacked his maker, but Jacob shoved him against the wall.
'' Steven, my dear child. The traitor. Thank you for leading Ethan to me.''
'' What? I didn't follow your orders. I wanted to help Amelia. The poor girl doesn't deserve to be treated like this. ''- Steven punched his maker, but Jake twisted his arm.
'' I knew you would help them. After all you know me so well. Your good heart lead them into my trap. ''- The vampire smirked.-'' I am always prepared.''
Robert grabbed my arm, but I refused to let Ethan go.
'' Not so fast.''- Jacob rushed and snatched me. I clawed his face. The hunter shot , but missed.
'' What did you do to Ethan?'' – The vampire's grip was like an iron, and his eyes were dangerous like a tiger's.
'' My witch friend provided me with a potion, which will get rid of my wolf problem. She didn't say specifically what it does. Will it make dear Ethan mad or sick I don't know. Will it make him turn against his own kind, or he will just die? ''- His wide smile made me sick. –'' What I know is that you won't stay to find out, Amelia.''
Steven sank his fangs into his master's throat, but Jacob threw him against the glass table. Robert shot after us, but we were gone, the vampire flew with me.
We landed in front of one small church and I ran to the door, banging on it.
'' No need to hurry so much to get married, my sweet.''- Jake purred behind me.
'' What ?''- I began hitting him, but the man just grabbed my wrists and smiled at me.
'' We will get married here, Amelia.''- He whispered against my lips.
'' I will hate you forever.''- I spat in his face.
'' Not necessarily. I will pour you with so much love potion that you will purr like a kitten in my arms.'' – And with that he dragged me to the church.
