"She's always been mine... Why doesn't she see that? Why doesn't anyone see that?"

Kaden's POV

"Sup man?" Ryan said and I shrugged a little and said, "Same old stuff."

We were at some bar because Ryan had said it may take some the edge off. A few drinks down and I was feeling pretty much the same.

I frowned as girls walked around me trying to show off their attributes and it made my stomach turn. Repeatedly a name flashed in my mind and I groaned in misery.

"Thinking about her?" Ryan asked and I nodded. I hadn't stopped.

Ryan knew of my guilt trip I was still stuck in, who didn't? She'd been gone for five months.

"Yeah I can't get her damn eyes out of my head. Every fucking time I try to relax I just see those eyes. Hell she was in my dream last night..." I grunted scrubbing my hand down my face.

The roaring of engines made everyone look around in confusion. You could see the outside through the windows. I watched as two motorcyclists raged into the parking lot darting between cars and pedestrians until coming to screeching halt in a parking spot.

The two ignored everyone as they got off their bikes. They both wore black leather jackets and helmets. It was obvious one was a boy and the other a girl.

The two looked at each other and the guy took off his helmet revealing a black haired man. I narrowed my eyes at the man as he walked over to the girl. They both disappeared from sight before entering the building.

The woman had nice, seductive strides and the man walked beside her. People greeted them and they nodded. The girl seemed to look at me through her helmet and then stopped walking; she turned her back to me swiftly. I raised my eyebrow in wonderment.

She was saying something to the guy it looked like. He nodded and shot me a dirty look which caused me to frown in confusion.

"You know that guy?" Ryan asked and I shook my head.

The girl removed her helmet and dark brown hair cascaded down her back. The man looked away from me and looked down at the girl with admiring eyes and combed his fingers through her hair.

The girl turned after a bit and I blinked as she laughed. Her dark eyes were slightly squinted as she laughed and the boy wrapped an arm around her waist pulling her to him. She smiled and nudged his shoulder. I frowned slightly as I watched them, there was something familiar about the girl. The dark lighting and bodies in the way made it hard to see her.

The man shot me another dirty look as they made their way toward the bar; towards me and Ryan. As they neared the girl looked at me and our eyes met as she stepped into the light. My breath caught as recognition rushed through me.

Amelia.

Mine.

I narrowed my eyes at the boy holding her and my fists clenched. Possessiveness rushed through me and I gritted my teeth.

"Amelia." I gritted out. She smirked and looked away from me and whispered to the boy. He chuckled and kissed her head and I clenched my jaw.

They neared and I felt my lip curl in disgust at the sight of my woman being held by some chump. That caught me totally off guard.

I couldn't help watching her walk and her hips swayed and the guy by her side suddenly grabbed her, pulling her against him. I was seeing red as the boy leaned closer and his hands roamed her body before he placed a kiss on her shoulder.

I blinked, not believing what I was seeing.

"Kaden... you okay?" I barely heard Ryan talking to me.

"I told you, you should've treated her like a mate. Now look at you. She's moved on; it's too late." Ryan said and I shot my beta a deadly look.

"It's never too late." I growled out and looked back at Amelia.

I started toward them and the two stopped. I looked at Amelia and rubbed the back of my neck, suddenly nervous.

"Um excuse me? Who are you?" My mate said in a gruff voice that held superiority and I blinked in shock.

Rain... Knight whimpered softly.

"C'mon Amelia don't be too hard on the guy." The man said and I glared at him.

"Who's side are you on Noah?" She spat and the guy chuckled.

"Yours baby you know that." The guy Noah said. I felt my jaw clench and every part of me wanted to tear the guy off of her and bash his face in.

"Can I talk to you in private?" I asked and Amelia shrugged and slipped out of Noah's hold.

"I'll be right back okay?" She told him and he nodded and shot me a warning glare. I took in a deep breath as I fought not to murder the bastard.

I led my mate away from him and kept walking until we were beside the bathrooms away from prying eyes.

"What the hell do you want Kaden?" She said viscously and I looked at her with some annoyance.

"I just wanted to talk... and get you away from that boy." I grumbled and my eyes traveled her body. She was stunning even prettier than she was all those months ago. She was dressed in dark short shorts and a white tank top. A black leather jacket still hung over her, but it was open and I could see her lovely figure underneath.

"More like eye rape me. Fuck off." She said harshly and started to walk away. I groaned and gripped her hips and pressed her against the wall near the women's bathroom. Her gasp filled my ears and I caged her against the hard surface.

"Who's that guy? Don't leave." I groaned and looked into her stone cold eyes. My heart thudded in my chest. I waited so long for her, she wasn't getting away that easily.

"Why? What do you want?" She spat at me and pushed on my chest. Her touch sent thrills through me and a grunting rumbled from deep in my chest.

"I want you." I growled out and earned a frown from Amelia and her eyes shown with shock. Taking my chance I swooped in and placed a chaste kiss on her shoulder. I frowned when I thought of that other man kissing her and moved my lips up to her neck.

Amelia gasped as my lips touched her skin and found her sweet spot; I closed my eyes as I licked and bit and sucked on my mark on her. My mate moaned and I let out a growling noise.

"Mine." I said into her neck and pulled away smiling at the hickeys I'd left on her.

Amelia looked at me with glazed eyes then she blinked the dreamy look away and frowned. Her hands clenched into fists against my chest. She gingerly lifted a hand to feel her neck and her eyes darkened.

"You're such an asshole." She pushed against my chest. "You think you can just waltz in here and I'll come running back to you. Well guess what pretty boy? I don't like you anymore! You're a fucking dickhead! You killed a whole pack! You killed Axel! You son of a bitch! Get away from me!" Amelia snarled and pushed against me again this time forcing me back.

How the hell did she find out?

Anger surged through me, but it instantly faded when she punched me in my face. I looked at her in mingled shock and pain.

Admittedly it hurt. The fact that she didn't want me, the fact that I'd probably lost her, the fact it was all my fault, the fact that she punched me... It all hurt.

"Amelia--" I growled and grabbed her wrists. She growled back as I pulled her against me.

"Kaden let me go." She said in a low voice and glared at me.

I frowned and shook my head, "You're going to go back to that male." What I said was a statement not a question.

Amelia nodded and gave a scoff, "Well he is my boyfriend, so yeah. Hell, we may even have some fun tonight. Who knows? Now if you'll excuse me..." she growled and I stood there dumbfounded as she pulled out of my grasp.

What the fuck did she just say?

"I knew one day you'd care. Now look at you. Ha you're pathetic. You may look all big and bad, but I know you're nothing, but a spoiled little prick." She said to me and then walked away. I watched her go and gritted my teeth.

"Boyfriend? Boyfriend? Hell no." I growled softly staring at the place she'd disappeared from my view.

A dark growl rumbled from me and rage began to boil inside of me.

She was idiotic if she thought I was just going to let her leave with the damn home wrecker.

Let me out! My wolf snarled as he paced inside me like the caged beast he was.

I'm gonna kill that pup! Let me out! Knight howled and clawed at the surface and I wanted the same thing he did.

So I let him surface.
