14.

Angelo

The urge to take her then and there from Lykos was strong but I couldn't give in. She was still fragile at accepting the fact of being a werewolf and mate to a prince. Other problems were stopping me also, we both have bridges to cross to have that special moment as mates.

Get rid of that complete waste of hybrid name Bryan Melding and convince her father to let me have her in my arms for an agreed amount of time before taking her away from me were on top of my list.

It hurts to even think that she may have to go away but it's inevitable, unknowing to her she was a freaking heiress to one of the wealthiest and powerful companies in the business world and not to mention the only pup of high alpha Nikolai. I wonder how would she take it when it's all revealed to her.

From being a simple small-town girl to a princess in more ways than one.

"Angelo?!" her soft concern filled voice reached my ears clearly that's when I realized I was still in wolf form hovering over her just looking at her angelic features, those eyes, those blue eyes filled with so much worry, concern and care just for me. I huffed in a bit of frustration as her expression reminded me of Elise's when I was worried about her being away from me the night after I met her.

'We must tell her. She has opened up to us in such a raw manner, Angelo. We nearly lost her. She has to know about E-Elise. We've come a long way,' Lykos advised me. Backing away from her in search of hidden clothes, she sat up and kept her gaze on me, finding them I shifted not being shy before her but it seems as if she was. She blushed, the lovely shade of pink rose to her cheeks making her look all kinds of adorable. She was mine and I loved it. Sending her a cocky smirk I donned the shorts and strolled to her. "Nice show," she teased.

"I have a show in mind but not that kind back there, my sunflower" I returned tucking her golden blonde hair behind her ear.

"Sunflower?" she questioned softly. I smiled thinking of the many reasons why I chose that endearment.

"Yes, my sunflower. One day I will tell you why I call you that but for now, time to train you then a quiet picnic for the both of us. How does that sound?"

She nodded her head in excitement with a wide grin on her face. Stretching forth my hand to her, she quickly took my offering, the familiar surge of pleasure from our simple touches sent my heart racing.

I missed this feeling so much. I missed being with the one person my wolf and I would love till our last breath, most of all I missed having someone being there for me. Walking beside Amelia as I listened to her talk about silly and mundane things she heard about werewolves I knew she won't give up on me just as I won't give up on her. She would be the one saving me in the long run even if I'm the one saving her from her tortured past.

I wonder how long do you have to wait to ask your girlfriend to move in with you. I think I need to research relationships when I get back home.

"I see that our little Mia has found a bigger fish."

I growled at the annoying sneer of my companion, Amelia was mine to start with, if she was accepting to the lovemaking I gave her and show how happy she was with me she would of still be in Sanctity. She would of make a fine wife beside me pretty face great body and willing to do whatever I ask of her. But she just had to spoil it with her coldness. Ungrateful bitch.

"Isn't he some son of billionaire parents?" the man mused loudly.

"Shut up" I snapped at him he simply raised an eyebrow at me and continued reading the taunting newspaper.

Seeing her face next to that arrogant prince a day ago I nearly lost it in the plaza where my men and I were scouring for her. The story was big news apparently, the human dubbed, Silent Prince had made his first public appearance in years without his family by his side. As a double hit, he had Amelia in his arms who the world dubbed as the luckiest girl in the world to bring out the 'silent prince'. The reports praised the young millionaire Angelo Saville as a creative genius with his architectural designs and his silent role in charity as very humble among his other accomplishments. They later go on to commend him on finding Amelia, a girl who's beauty outshone most of his distant admirers second to none and wish them a future of happiness. Not one article said a bad word of her they only gushed of how wonderful they looked together.

She doesn't belong to him she was mine, it says so in the contract between her stepfather and I. Anger and hate towards the two was evident from me but I didn't care who my Mia was fucking I was getting her back.

I need to get her back.

" I think I know how to get her back. The stupid girl is so fucking clueless of things around her that what I have in mind would surely bring her back." I looked at the tall blonde man with cold brown eyes who was slowly folding the paper away. He was still the same man who offered up his sixteen-year-old stepdaughter as a wager. The man was cold heartless and greedy but now those attributes turned up to max.

"What do you mean clueless?" I asked distracted as I received an email from one of my men pertaining to our search for Mia.

"She doesn't know about us and the fact that she is a wolf" he bit out.

That certainly caught my attention. "How? I'm sure her mother would have told her since you are a hybrid. I thought she knew of us and was one of those late bloomers" I was confused now why didn't her mother tell her of us and of her background.

Sammy snorted in disgust, "The bitch was so caught up in her own world to realize that her kid was a halfling. She didn't even know I was a hybrid and I kept it from her. I still haven't forgiven her for giving birth to the little slut. When I took her back I told her to get rid of it but she wanted to keep that one thing that reminded her of Starkov."

"Wait. What? Starkov of Starkov industries?" I interrupted his bitter ramblings.

"Your precious whore is the daughter of Nikolai Starkov." he blurted out.

His eyes darken in anger, his whole demeanor changed; I was shocked by his calm confession this was spectacular news. Shit. Great news for me.

"How did your wife and Starkov met if she doesn't know of our kind?" I asked interested in how a simple human meeting high alpha Starkov.

"Tegan and I broke up a few years back when we lived in California. After two months of our separation, she came running back to me crying asking for us to get back together and for us to move far away. Shit. I was still in love with her and said yes as soon as she came back to our place. When we reached our final destination that's when she told me she was pregnant for some guy she met on our two-month break. I didn't want to raise any bastard kid and told her to get an abortion but she didn't. Man, I was so whipped that I just married her to ease her mind. When Amelia was born that was when she told me of Starkov but it seems like he didn't tell her too or maybe he did and she fled. I don't know" he groaned rubbing his face harshly.

"Hmmmmmm" I let out then focused back to the email thinking of new ways to get Mia back home where she belongs. Though the man told me his side of things, I knew better at how far he will go to prove a point. Apart from being cold and greedy, he was also possessive. After all, we grew up in the same coven.

My eyes widen at the contents of the email it had me scrambling for my phone. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Sammy asked feigning interest.

"That cocksucker of a prince reported us to HHA, he discovered our scent at that female hybrid's place. How in the world....." I growled putting my phone by my ear.

"Yes sir" Hakeem my second in command was always alert when I need him and never disappoints.

"Any sign of them?" I asked. After finding where Mia was hiding next we decided to pay her a visit but was disappointed when neither she nor the hybrid was there. Their scents were still there along with a male's but it was about a day old.

"No sir but ....... sentinels have been spotted around the area and the city. Sir this is bigger you think. Why would royal guards be canvasing Amelia's place or even on watch in the city." he responded.

"Ah fuck, I don't know but report back to the house. The prince has notified HHA and also we have some work to do. If the sentinels are around fall back I know how to handle the HHA" I said before hanging up.

"What is it now?" my guest asked. He was pretty annoying to come to think of it and I don't know why he was even here in New York.

"Why are you here Sammy?" I asked really looking at him.

"Hoping for a family reunion?" he answered shrugging his shoulders. I knew what kind of reunion he spoke off but I wasn't having any of it this time. This time Amelia Starkov is all mine.

"We'll see about that," I said stalking out of my office.





My men reported back to the house an hour later by then my plan was foolproof. HHA was paid off to make sure King Damian wasn't to be involved, the plan I concocted didn't need any kind of intrusion from any more royals. Why we have them is beyond me. Our kind still lived in the stone age. Always looking to Kings and Queens for protection and advice. As a coven or pack, we have leaders who in turn what? LEAD!!! In my mind's eye, its a bit redundant but that problem would be for another time at the moment my main priority is Amelia.

"Sir we are connected," Hakeem said handing me the phone.

"My assistant says this is an important call to me. Why you called?" The heavy Russian accent was very audible with the man's broken English. Power and authority were even more evident in his voice if I can keep this charade up I have to show no fear but that was easier said than done. This was Nikolai Starkov the most feared Russian alpha.

"Alpha Starkov. Thank goddess I've reached you. I was contemplating how to tell you this much less how to bring this to your attention" I said putting in desperation and worry in my voice.

"Young man, what is it? Why do you call me? The American king is available" he said coldly but I sensed how intrigued he was.

"I'm afraid it has something to do with the king, sir. I don't know who else to turn to. Even the vampire king isn't to be trusted"

"What is this something?" he asked confused.

I paused for dramatic effect, fuck, I should pursue this acting bit.

"Son?!" he pushed.

"M-My beloved. T-They took her" I said making my voice crack and sniffed as if I was crying.

"Are you sure American king did this? Michael is a friend to me. Never a bad deed he has ever done" he countered still not believing me.

I rolled my eyes at his loyalty to the much-celebrated King Michael Saville. No one ever said a bad word about the family.

"No. Not the king sir. H-His son. I even brought it to King Michael's attention but he brushed it off saying Prince Angelo would never do a thing so heinous" I babbled putting in a few fake cries and exasperation.

"Bobek!! Het!!! Little Angelo is ahren. This not believable." The alpha said his voice was rising whatever he said in Russian I was sure he was denying my statement.

"Please, Alpha. You must believe me. I miss my Mia. Prince Angelo would corrupt her I am sure. Amelia would be....."

"Amelia?" he said in shock cutting me off as I knew he would. One mention of her name and I knew then he would bend to my undoings.

"Yes, Alpha. That's her name. He forced her to be with him. She tried to contact me but he banned her from all communication. I-I -I don't know where he took her. All I have is a picture of them at some ball. I know he forced her to go. My Amelia hates those things." I babbled once more like a heartbroken fool.

"Amelia....... You have a picture, yes? You send it to me. Now" he demanded. I motioned for Hakeem to send the email to the address we were able to find for Nikolai Starkov. It was a company email but it would make do. I heard a distant ping a few seconds later on the other end.

"This is your Amelia. Yes?!" His breathing became heavier as he kept repeating her name.

"Sir is everything alright? But to answer your question yes she is. That's my angel Amelia Mariya Starkov" I answered with a confused yet proud voice.

"No. She is my little girl. Your Amelia is my Amelia" he said joyously, "I come to America soon eh?! We rescue our Amelia Yes? "

I can hear the happiness in his voice as things are being slammed shut and people in the background talking excitedly in Russian.

"Sir? I d-don't understand" I feign confusion.

"You found the princess. My daughter. We get her back. American prince would die for hurting my little Mariya" His last words were filled with venom it sent chills down my spine.

Death was evident in the high alpha's mind.

"What do they call you? My daughter's mate," he asked.

"Coven leader Bryan Melding," I said proudly.

"Welcome to the family. The young prince shall pay" he said coldly.

Smiling smugly at my men as the Russian alpha told me of his immediate plans I sensed that there would be a lot of bloodshed in the near future and the blood of the celebrated silent prince shall be flowing on that day.

Soon Amelia. Soon you will be mine once again and I have such a surprise for you.
