Lucian had wanted to go over some of the planning with Amelia, but she was missing from the castle. Lucian tried not to panic and asked a few of the men posted as sentinals if they had seen her.

"She left with Raze quite awhile ago," one told him.

"Where were they headed?" Lucian asks confused.

"Into the woods sir," he answered.

Lucian thanked the man and walked slowly through the halls. Why hadn't neither Raze, nor Amelia told him they were going for a walk? He would have loved to join them until the lighted moon. However, it suddenly struck him. Raze had a purpose to keep Lucian out of his and Amelia's plan. Lucian smiled. He hoped that Raze would be able to confront Amelia about his feelings. Lucian was still shocked about the recent revelations of Raze's feelings, but he could not blame Raze and would not necessarily mind if Raze and Amelia came back mated.

But would Amelia be okay with that? What if Raze could not control himself, the moon still was pretty full. Could she handle doing something so intimate when she was violated in such a manner? Suddenly Lucian had the impulse to fly into the woods and find his daughter. Lucian had to sit down. He found a nearby chair and sat down. He took two deep breathes. He had to calm himself. Lucian knew that Raze loved Amelia just as much as he did and that Raze would never want anything, including himself, to hurt her.

Lucian then heard them walking down one of the halls. He tried to look like he was busy and not worrying about them.

"Hello father," Amelia says greeting Lucian with a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Where have you two been?" Lucian asks casually.

"A simple walk," Amelia says smiling.

Raze's eyes shift over to Amelia. Most of their walk back had been hand in hand but when they reached he castle he realized that he hand had slipped from his grasp. She evidently was not ready to tell her father yet, but Raze was amazed at the dexterity of her lie. He knew Lucian would be able to hear her heart skip a beat if she was indeed lying, but not even Raze could tell. Amelia's voice then drew Raze from his thoughts.

"Thank you for the walk Raze, I shall see you tommorrow," Amelia says smiling.

"Of course," he says returning her smile.

As she walks past Lucian, he sees her wink at him. Raze was amazed at the way she hid her emotions, but then again he had never suspected she thought anything more of him than a friend and protector. If he hadn't experienced the passion they had tonight then he would probably be questioning her emotions.

"So," Lucian says drawing his attention,"what happened?"

Raze knew that he and Lucian were friends, but Raze knew when Lucian switched to father mode.

"I took her to the lunar flowers, I showed her how they bloomed into something beautiful, like we do in the moon," Raze says.

"Very poetic my friend," Lucian says,"and how did she like it."

"Oh," Raze says thinking,"i think she enjoyed it very much. I am wrong to have ever doubted that changing her was a bad decision. She seems happy as ever."

"I am glad you think so," Lucian says patting him on the back,"I do hope Amelia returns your feeling when the time is right to tell her."

Raze simply nods his head. He did not want Amelia to feel uncomfortable if she didn't want her father to know. The two said good night and Raze walked to his room. As he shut the door to his room he felt like something was wrong. Suddenly a figure drops from the ceiling behind him. Raze spins, ready to strike, but it frozen by the contact of lips. But these lips were irreplacable. He relaxes and pulls Amelia's body to his. He then parts from her and furrows his brow,"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to tell you good night properly," Amelia says running her hand along his chest.

Raze sighs, feeling himself become aroused by her meer touch. Raze smiles,"I would love to share a bed with you, however I do not know how your father would feel about findind you and I in bed together."

"Better than someone else," Amelia says laughing. She then gets serious,"He doesn't have to know you know."

Raze smirks at her,"You know that nothing is ever completely secret in this castle. He would eventually find out."

Amelia frowns,"I suppose you're right. However your body gives away what you really want," she says feeling his erection through his pants. Raze blushes. "I do think its ironic that you can't hide your-" Amelia says running her hand up his leg, "excitement like women can."

"Oh," Raze says pinning Amelia up against the wall,"but i can smell your arousal," he says running his finger from the top of her thigh to her belly button, over her secret triangle he would love to delve into. He knew that at this level of excitement, she would be wet and wanting.

Amelia sighed against him, their bodies now flush together. Their lips met and Raze felt her tongue seek permission from his lips. As the kiss deepened Raze could not help himself. He bent and picked her up, willing her legs to open around his waist like in the forest. She wraps her hands around his neck and locks her legs around him. He runs his hands up and down her thighs, stopping at her tight yet hand filling ass. She sighs into his mouth at his firm caresses. He sits on the side of his bed, still determined not to fully mate with her, but still enjoying every second. As they sat there her hands moved to the front of his chest and pulled his shirt off, revealing his muscular chest and abs. His hands had began to creep up and down her back pulling her closer. His hands though lingered at her hips. He knew that his erection was clearly evident to her, but as long as she did not seem afraid, Raze was not going to hide his love for her body. Hoping not to startle her, he pulled her hips so that their sexs were nearly touching. He realized that her dress had been hiked around her hips and it was only the small fabric of her undergarments that seperated them. He could feel her heat and she could feel the hard contact of his erection. She gasped and gave a glance down at his erection. "Are you okay?" Raze asks breathing heavily.

Amelia smiles and kisses his lips deeply. Her lips then gently brush his cheeks as they move to his ear. She nips his ear lobe and begins kissing slowly down his neck. Raze lets out of small growl of pleasure as his eyes slowly shut, savoring the caresses of her soft lips and the warm laps of his tongue. She moves to his adam's apple and caresses it gently. As Amelia works her way to his neck, she nips it lightly with her teeth. Raze inhales sharply in surprise. Amelia smiles wickedly, revealing her sharp fangs. Raze moves to her neck, returning each caress to her neck, only he moves down to her chest, kissing every inch of her exposed flesh. The fervent kisses Raze gives her cause her hips to buck. Raze moans against her soft skin as he feels her push against him. Raze kisses the tops of each soft breast, moving lower kissing each bit of skin as if paying homage to her body. His nips and licks elicite small sighing moans from her lips. Her hips instinctively begin to grind slowly against him. Raze lets out a hearty growls. His hands begin to assist her hips move up and down against him. Amelia's head is thrown back as Raze continues meerly kissing the tops of her breasts, but he would love to have a peak at them fully.

The pace of her hips picked up with Raze's assistance and he could feel the thin fabric between them growing damp. The smell of her arousal made Raze feel half drunk. "Raze," he heard her moan head still back. He looked up at her eyes shut, loving his caresses on her breasts and he realized she was nearly as he had envisioned her the night before. He put his nose between her breasts, his forehead against her chest and sighed while inhaling the sweet scent of her skin.

"Raze?" Amelia asks feeling his hands stop her hips,"Are you okay?"

"I want you so bad, it is nearly painful," Raze says, his eyes shut against her chest. He feels her arms shifting and lifts his head to watch her move her hands to the straps of the dress. As she moves them down, breasts almost exposed to his wide eyes, a knock sounds at the door. Amelia jumps and Raze nearly throws her off him. Amelia knew that any lycan would hear her whisper so she mouthes to him 'what do i do?'

'Hide' Raze mouthes. Amelia crouches and jumps onto the ceiling. Raze makes sure she is secure and takes a deep breath trying to calm his evident excitement.

"Raze are you in there?" Lucian says through the door.

"Coming," Raze ruffles the bed and throws his shirt off and puts his robe on. He takes a deep breath again and opens the door.

"I'm sorry to wake you my friend, I just wanted to ask you something," Lucian says walking into the room. Raze looks up and was surprised to see that Amelia was gone. He could rest easy now, as long as Lucian did not catch her scent.

"Anything, I was just about to fall asleep," Raze says.

"Yes, I'm sorry to wake you," Lucian apologizes,"I am just nervous for the upcoming weeks. We could end this war once and for all. This could be our last stand and we need something special to get the best of the vampires."

"I understand, but what?" Raze asks.

"I wanted to ask Amelia, but I think she decided to bathe tonight, she was not in her room."

"Why ask Amelia?" Raze asks.

"Sometimes when you're new to the game you can see things that others, who have been playing for a long time, can no longer see. Maybe with her new role she will think of something."

"That's a good idea," Raze says.

"Raze I-" Amelia's voice sounds from the door. Lucian and Raze turn to see Amelia approaching the door. "Father! There you are I've been looking everywhere for you." Raze tried to hide his surprise at her appearance and could only smile and marvel at her sneakiness.

"I was looking for you as well. Mind if I walk you to your room?" Lucian says.

"Not at all," Amelia says smiling.

As Lucian walks Amelia out of his room Amelia flashes a smile at him. Raze sighs. He was so in love with her but was still confused. Should he mate with her without her father knowing? He wanted her more than he wanted anything before, but he did not want to get her into something she would regret.
