Torn between two

Chapter 18

Amelia’s POV

After a few days of waiting, I finally got an audience with the witch council. I really hope for the sake of Daniel, that they know what’s going on. It took a lot of convincing them, to even gather up the whole council. They don’t really care about a mere mortal, or who’s mate she is.

I enter the room, where the council usually gathers, it’s big and the décor is Victorian. The five council members are already seated around the rectangle table, with the head witch; Cora, at end of the table, leaving me a seat at the other end.

I bow my head in respect and get to my seat. The five council heads are the oldest witches and warlocks alive; nobody really knows their age; they’re not known for sharing their secrets. Their looks might fool you though, each one of them look like they’re in their 30’s. They’re beyond vice, and masters in all magic known to mankind.

“Tell us, why you have gathered us here today.” Cora says with a tense voice, looking me straight in the eyes, all professional, as she’s not my mother at all. That’s my mom alright, never showing any kind of emotion around her precious council members.

“I’m here, because I’ve encountered a peculiar human.” I say with a professional voice.

“Yes, this alleged, lone wolfs, mate.” Says Amos with the most bored tone ever.

“Yes. She truly is his mate; I’ve seen it myself. The bond between them is very strong, too strong for a regular werewolf – human bond, which is weird, because she still manages to evade him.” I manage to say, before I am interrupted.

“How does she evade him?” Asks August.

“Well, she’s dating a vampire.” I respond.

“So, the vampire’s used a glamour on her. Simple as that.” August continues, while the rest agree with him.

“I don’t believe that’s the case. Even if a vampire uses glamour on someone, the mate bond should break it. And she seems to be protected from all magic.” I continue with a roll of eyes.

“How so?” Cora asks intrigued.

“First, I tried to read her through Daniel, which is easy enough, but I got nothing. It was as she’s been hidden form the world. Then I tried her directly, and her whole mind was a black fog, impermeable, no matter how hard I tried. It led to both of us blacking out.” I said deep in thought, remember our encounter. “It was like there was something, or someone blocking me out, not wanting me to see anything.”

The council members take a look at each other perplexed, then back at me.

“Maybe she’s cursed?” Beatrice and Clara ask at the same time.

“A witch as powerful as Amelia should have managed to see that.” Says Cora and looks at me with a raised brow.

“Yes, I should be. It was no regular curse.”

“What if she’s cursed by a God?” asks August. A God? Why would a God curse a mortal?

“But shouldn’t I still be able to get a hint of it?” I ask confused. “Why would a God even curse a mortal?”

“For fun, it’s rare, but it does happen.” Cora states with a shrug of the shoulders. “Gods, are often bored and play games on mortals. But it is peculiar that you didn’t sense anything.” she continues.

“Does she know about the mate bond? Or the supernatural world?” Asks Beatrice.

“No, she doesn’t.” I reply simply.

“Some mortals do tend to block out everything supernatural from their minds, just by the power of disbelief.” Beatrice states.

“Well then she has a one powerful mind to make me tap into dark magic.” They all gasp in shock.

“You didn’t say this right away?” Cora says angrily. Witches and warlocks only use light magic, provided from mother earth, dark magic is forbidden, because it always comes with consequences.

“I wanted to hear what you’d think before I said that little detail.” I simply reply.

“Where is this girl from exactly?” August asks.

“I remember Daniel mentioning that she was born in Iran.”

“Iran does have their own ancient Gods, forgotten to most, but they do exist.” Cora comments in thought.

“They don’t usually intervene in the mortal world, well not anymore. Why would any of them curse a mortal?” August says and rubs his chin.

“We should see the girl for ourselves.” Cora suggests. “First, you’ll have to introduce the supernatural world to her. Starting with her mate. Maybe when her mind is a bit more open, we’ll be able to get a glimpse of what’s hidden inside her mind.”

And with that, the elders dismiss me. We’ll that was a big waste of time, all I got was a bunch of maybes. It’s obvious we should tell her about the supernatural world, but that solely depends on Daniel and what does he wish to do.

Dunya’s POV

Layla finally responded to me via text message, explaining that he and Daniel had a fight and she needed to go home for a while with Eric. Of course, I understood, but I find it weird that she’d go away because a fight... She said she’d return next week and she’d go sightseeing with me. I hadn’t heard from Daniel either after our encounter at their grandparent's house. Elijah was supposed to return on Sunday, so I didn’t have much to do. Thursday and Friday evening, I spent with my co-workers, we were all new to the city, so, we just got acquainted to each other, building team spirit or whatnot.

I planned on spending Saturday all by myself, laying on the beach or something, but Daniel decided to show up at my apartment. He thought it’d be a good idea to go sightseeing now. Just when we were about to leave, my co-worker/neighbor Erika came out of her apartment. Quickly deciding to avoid the awkward moments between me and Daniel, I invited Erika to join, who then invited Minna also.

Safe to say, Daniel looked pretty disappointed, or maybe it was annoyance, since they both gawked at him the whole time. Erika even tried flirting, but Daniel didn’t pay any attention to it. We spent most of the day in the Acropolis, since I wanted to see every little detail. Daniel was like a paid guide; he knew quite a lot of little trivia about the place.

We sat down in a coffee shop for a brake and the girls quickly sat down on both sides of Daniel.

“Tiiätkö et onks hän varattu?” (Do you know if he’s taken?) Erika asked.

“En oo varma, kysy itse” (I’m not sure, ask him yourself) I reply, annoyed. Come on ladies, keep it in your pants.

“Voitko kysyä? Ootte kuitenkin kavereita.” (Could you ask? You’re friends.) Now Minna begs.

“So, Daniel, the girls want to know that are you seeing someone?” I ask with a smirk.

He looks at me with a ‘why are you doing this?’ face and says “Not right now, but my heart already belongs to someone. She just doesn’t know it yet.” he says and winks. What does that even mean?

The girls both sigh with a “ohh”, obviously disappointed. Daniel keeps staring at me with a mischievous smile, why is he doing that? I thought we talked this through; I’m seeing Elijah. And what does that even mean “my heart already belongs to someone?”

Finally, he drops us at home. The girls get out, but he stops me. “Did Layla call you?”

“Yeah, she did. Something about you two getting into a fight?”

“Yeah, it’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.” he says with furrowed brows.

“Well, it’s something when she runs to a different country.” I say questionably. “You know, I don’t have a good relationship with my brother and I regret that deeply. You two are really close, whatever this argument is about, it’s not worth risking that.”

“You’re right. I know. She’s just so stupid sometimes.” he sighs.

“Well, she probably feels the same way about you.” I reply with a smirk, making him chuckle. “Just talk to her.” I command.

“I will, I will.” he rolls his eyes.

“Good. Now please. I want her back.”

“You have me.” he says with a raspy voice, sending shivers down my spine. Even his voice is sexy! What do I even say to that? So, I just smile.

“What are you doing tomorrow?”

“Umm, nothing special. Elijah is coming back.” my answer makes his eyes go dark. Well, s**t.

“How about Monday?” he asks with a straight face.

“No plans for Monday, just work.” I smile shyly.

“Good. γιαγιά wanted to invite you over for dinner. More like she insisted.”

“Of course, I’d love to come!” I answer way too eagerly. That woman can cook, I can´t say no to that!

“I’ll pick you up after work then?” he asks with excitement in his eyes.

“Yeah, that sounds great.” I smile and hug him goodbye. F*ck with these sparks, Zeus needs to chill the f*ck down. He hugs me back tightly, with his head rested on my shoulder. This time I’m sure he sniffed my neck.

***

I wake up from my nap to my doorbell ringing. I open the door, to find Elijah standing there with a big grin on his face. I jump up to his lap straddling him, and crash my lips with his, kissing him passionately. It’s Saturday evening and he’s a day early. I stop to catch my breath “you’re early!” I almost shriek.

“Yeah. I had to see my girl.” he smiles at me. “I missed you.”

“I really missed you too.” I reply and kiss him again.

“Grab your stuff, we have some catching up to do.” he says with a wink.

“Or we can catch up here.” I’m way too horny to go to his place right now.

His face brightens up a bit “You haven’t invited me in yet.”

“Well, Dracula. I invite you in.” I say with a roll of my eyes. “Now, can you please f**k me?” He groans and crashes his lips with mine, invading his tongue into my mouth, and walks in closing the door behind us.

He carries me to the bed and tosses me onto it, then starts undressing himself. I start to take off mine, but he grunts “no”. So, I watch him quickly take off his shirt and pants, leaving his boxers on, which is already tented. God, I almost managed to forget how big he is. I bite my lips as I watch his shaft almost poke out of the slit of his boxers.

“You miss my c*ck?” he asks as he leans down to take off my sweats. I just nod at him. He proceeds to take of my top and my bras, hungrily sucking and biting on my dark n****e and then the other, until they’re puckered up. He stops suddenly, making me whimper and stands back up, looking down at me. “Tell me how much you’ve missed me” he says with a raspy voice.

“I’ve missed you a lot.” I manage to murmur. He takes his boxers of, freeing his big c*ck from its fabric prison, making it spring. He starts to stroke his d**k slowly, beads of precum already on the tip. I want to lick it off and he sees my excitement. I sit up and scoot over the bed to be closer to him.

I grab his thick shaft with my right hand, pressing tightly and massage it up and down, making him groan. I stick my tongue out and lick the precum off the tip, while directly look into his eyes. He hisses at the reaction, his c*ck twitches in my hand. I lick his c*ck from the root to tip, slowly as possible and finish by placing the tip of his rod into my mouth, hollowing my cheeks and sucking slowly and then increase the speed.

Elijah fists his fingers to my hair, gently tugging, making me moan. I increase the speed and take him even deeper each time. I rotate my right hand up and down on his c*ck at the same speed as my mouth. “F*ck... babe, I’m going to come if you don’t slow down...!” His words are like adding fuel to fire, as I suck him even harder and faster. “Dun... F*CK!” he yells as he climaxes in my mouth, filling it with thick layers of c*m. I swallow every bit of it and lick his c*ck clean.

With one swift move he pulls me up and puts me on my knees on the bed, in doggy position. He yanks my hips up and with one hand rips off my panties. Before I can even react, he pushes his length in, taking me by surprise. F*ck he didn’t use a condom and I couldn’t care less at this moment. It felt way too good to focus on such things.

His thrusts became more demanding, and more powerful. I squeezed the sheets between my fingers and backed up my ass, with his every move, the room echoed with the slap sounds of our bodies. He held on to my hips a little too tightly, his fingers digging into my skin, but I didn’t mind. I missed this, I missed his big c*ck and I would take every inch of it, whatever way he’d give it to me.

I come twice, barely holding up as my legs shake from my climax. He comes right after my second orgasm, roaring with the pleasure of his climax, filling my insides with his come. I feel his c*ck twitch inside of me, spurting his come. After few seconds he turns me over, to my back and sucks on my n****e.

He lifts my right leg over his shoulder and thrusts in, his c*ck already fully erect.
