Diana's POV
It was scary how I could feel him flowing in me, but I welcomed it. I could pick up his emotions like thoughts and being connected like this was damn pretty magical in my books. Being exhausted about all of today I wrapped my arms around his neck, slowly playing with the hairs on the back of his neck. I enjoyed the warm sensation it brought me when he wrapped his strong arms around me gently like he was afraid he could possibly break me.
"I'm yours too, Diana," Angelo said kissing my forehead. “Always.”
And just like that, he was able to take my breath away. Red hot lava spread from out my heart at his words. He wasn't just looking for me to say it. He was looking for me to feel it deep in my core. I could feel now that confessing our feelings made the mate bond stronger. My body was humming with unadulterated love. How can this man be so damn perfect?
His grey eyes were gazing into mine and I felt his devotion surround me. It showed he was telling the truth, but more than anything it opened my eyes to his true feelings.
"I know," I whispered back, smiling and tilting my head to kiss his lips softly. At this moment in time, I knew Angelo was the guy I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Without warning, I have already fallen madly in love with this man the moment I first saw him. We are, after all, meant for each other.
Cam’s POV
After talking with James, I know now that I have to get to know Angelo better. I judged him too quickly and everything I did was because I thought he wasn't worthy of being Diana's mate. I mean, I saw the signs but Diana is strong, funny, nice and scary serious when she wants too. The overall little sister in my eyes.
Angelo is... overprotective. Well, that explains everything he has done, punching me, switching Diana over to him so he could train her how to fight, wanting to come along to the store, protecting Diana from the rogue. It all makes sense now. I drove him to be what I thought he was which is being vulgar, cocky and rude.
Walking down the hallway I passed Benjamin which sent a direct spike of warning to my body. The same feeling happened at the store and I suddenly came to a stop.
"Alpha Redwood, if that is even your real name, we meet again," I said loudly and I heard him come to an abrupt stop. I listened carefully to his heartbeat and noticed it picked up speed by a little. Then James was right.
"I don't think we've met..."
"Cam," I finished for him. I never did give him my name but we just meet yesterday. I know he is part of the rogues James told me about. I wasn't sure if I could trust him.
"Cam, I'm sure I would remember a pretty face like yours... or is it James face I am remembering?" Benjamin said changing his whole aura as he smiled at me. That smile sent a million messages to me that made me put up my guard. How did he know?
Without being able to control myself, as I thought of James being in danger, a growl escaped my lips. My muscles were tense as Benjamin smiled even wider, flashing those white teeth at me before stepping closer. That same flowery smell from yesterday came to me strongly.
"Tell him I said 'Hi', okay?" He whispered for only my ears to hear.
I was ready to attack when his blue eyes turned red before my eyes and I found myself backing away in shock. My body tensed up and froze in fear I haven’t felt before. He couldn't be what I think he is.
"Well, it looks like I finished what I came to do. I'll take my leave now." Benjamin said blinking his eyes back to normal before turning around and walking away. I couldn't move, couldn't breathe, and couldn't talk until I couldn't see him anymore. I was completely and utterly immobile. He had that control over me.
Shit, he is more powerful than I took him for.
