A Fate Renewed

Chapter 52-I Would Kill For You

(Kamaris)

I was mere seconds away from kicking Cinead's ass when Amira placed her small hand against mine, intertwining our fingers together as she held me tightly. Her head turned to the side, making those teal eyes lock onto mine as she smiled warmly..that one small action alone seemed to calm me immediately.

All that frustration and annoyance was gone in seconds with one damn look..

"Wow, that truly is a gift." Cinead muttered, making me glare at him once again as Amira suddenly spoke up.

"Thank you Cinead and Stella, for welcoming us into your home. I have had such an incredible time." She spoke softly, sounding truly grateful and a pang of guilt rose inside of me.

This was the first time in months she probably felt like a real person..

"Next time we can take you to the oasis, you will love the city and shopping pavilion." Stella added excitedly, making Amira perk up before glancing over at me, seeming to ask for approval.

I raised her hand, kissing the back of it gently while nodding yes.

"Maybe we can actually stay in the palace next time.." I grumbled sarcastically while glancing towards Cinead.

That's usually where we stay when it's just Alden and I..but I understand why we didn't.

"You know why we couldn't..Gideon isn't exactly welcome company, so why would I let him stay in luxury?" He scoffed, a wry smile filling his face.

I noticed Amira glancing up at me and I'm guessing she thought I would get mad at the mention of Gideon..but I wasn't going to let anything ruin my mood..I was actually having a good time.

We continued talking about the oasis and Cinead explained how the palace was built into a large palm tree and Amira was eating up every word. Sometimes I forget that she was once a human and all of this is so new for her..even the concept of magic seems to surprise her still.

Then Stella started flirting with f*****g everyone pretty much and that's when a few of the servers came back into the room to clear the tables.

One of them in particular I had a weird vibe about...he was looking at Amira the entire time, making me go on guard as I made sure to keep my shadows just on the surface.

He stepped towards her, and that's when I saw a small piece of paper land in her lap.

I shot up, making Amira gasp as I wrapped my hand around the man's throat, causing him to cry out before I slammed him down on the metal table.

"Who the f**k sent you." I gritted through my teeth, making his eyes widen as Cinead was soon by my side.

"I..I..don't know..I was told to give this to the woman..from.." He began to cough.

"Kamaris, let the man breathe." Cinead stated as I ground my teeth together before loosening my grip.

"Who?!" I shouted, causing the man to flinch.

"It was a masked guard! I didn't see their face.." The man sobbed as I threw him off of the table and marched to Amira where Alden was now standing next to her protectively.

"Let me see it." I spoke much more softly before Amira handed me the small scroll of paper.

She placed it in my hands gently, her eyes looking up at me nervously as I gently reached out before cupping her chin.

"Do not worry my love, okay?" I whispered, my lips gently brushing across hers as she swallowed hard before nodding.

Unrolling the scroll, my eyes scanned it quickly as anger pulsed through me.

"What does it say Kamaris?" Cinead asked while stepping closer.

"Terik has surrounded the shield's border, he brought his men and has come to take Amira." I explained with a calm tone, knowing he wouldn't give up this easily.

I heard Amira gasp before she stood quickly and wrapped her arms around my waist.

We stayed like that in silence for a few moments and I knew Amira was worried...but I wouldn't let anything happen to her, no way in hell.

"Kamaris..we have to be rational about this. If you go out there and attack first..this will start a war." Cinead stated making a grin fill my face..how far was I willing to go to protect Amira?

What would I do to keep her safe? Then I felt my shadows summoning my sword..giving me the answer I already knew.

"There can't be a f*****g war if they don't have a lord to lead them." I said coldly, making Cinead's eyes widen.

"Don't be a fool!" He shouted and I felt Amira grip my arm tightly.

Suddenly Alden stepped forward.

"My lord, let me go, I might be able to talk to my father." He said quickly, making me look towards him..he and I both knew his father would never betray Terik..he didn't before, and he wouldn't again.

"What if Amira could speak to Terik and tell him she doesn't want to go with him, maybe.." Stella spoke, not even able to finish her sentence before I snapped my head towards her, making her shut up immediately.

"Terik will not be allowed to even look at Amira, do you understand me?" My voice was cold and direct as I spoke through clenched teeth. If he saw her...if the mirror bond was there, it would ruin everything. She might...no, I can't even think of it.

Amira stepped towards me slowly. Her hands reached out as she touched his chest gently.

"Kamaris, isn't it worth a try? If I told him how I don't want to go with him?" She said calmly, her hands reaching up and touching my face.

How could she even suggest that?! Does she want to go with him? Does she feel the bond already with him so close?

"No, absolutely not and that's final." I snapped, knowing there was too much to lose..I would rather kill Terik myself and risk being punished than lose Amira.

I could feel Cinead's eyes studying me..and the words he said next pissed me off even more.

"Is it because you are afraid she will actually go?" He asked firmly, his crimson orbs blazing.

I just stood there, not denying the truth as the room filled with thick silence.

"You don't really think that..do you?" Amria question quietly, the hurt so clear in her voice and making my heart drop.

I couldn't face her right now..the pain I felt was so new that I didn't even know how to deal with it..but that fear of losing her was even bigger and I couldn't risk it..I just couldn't.

"Alden, we leave in five minutes." I said coldly, wishing I could switch off these emotions..

I turned to leave, knowing me not trusting Amira hurt her..but it wasn't her I didn't trust..it was the mirror bond..it was her seeing Terik and it all snapping into place.

Then I felt her hand reaching for me, gripping my arm as I couldn't turn around..I couldn't see her.

"Y..you don't trust me? After everything we have gone through. What I have given you... How could you honestly think that?" Hurt filled her voice, causing me to close my eyes and take a deep breath..

"There is nothing you can say, he has already decided Amira." Stella said to her quietly, pulling Amira back from me as I continued forward.

"Don't let them leave this room, Dante, not until I say." I spoke one last time, feeling my heart aching in my chest as sorrow and betrayal rushed through me..but I knew without a doubt those feelings weren't mine..they were Amira's..I could feel it through her bind.

Please forgive me for this, my love..but I can't lose you..I won't.
