Bedding My Vampire Mate

Chapter 261 Familiar Feelings

"You are speaking as though you have been here many times without me," Joanna casually said, still gazing at the dark forest.

She turned to stare at him when he didn't reply to her word which was supposed to be a tease.

"Don't tell me you have actually been here more than once without me?" She guessed while looking at the face of the unusually quiet Kayden.

"Is my guess…,"

"Let's go. I am sure you will feel a lot better after entering it," He ignored her question and dashed into the forest, unlike his normal self who would have held Joanna's hands.

"It looks like he is trying to ignore the topic, but why?" She gazed at the back of the guy who had covered a significant distance from where she stood.

Entering the forest, the hooting of the owls, the swaying of tree branches, the smell of wood and so many other familiar things made the memories of the past flood into her head.

The happy moments they spent in the forest were so beautiful that they momentarily pushed away her current problems from her head.

The only familiar scene and sound that was missing was the scene of the overprotective Bacon hovering around them and chirping.

The sudden roaring of an animal caused Joanna and Amos to stop in their tracks. In an instant, they tilted their head to the right-hand side where the sound came from.

ROAR!

The animals roared for the second time. Normally the roar of the ferocious animal would have made some ladies take to their heels but Joanna didn't flinch or tremble.

Her expression remained the same as it was before the animal's interruption.

They weren't surprised to feel the movements of smaller animals running for safety.

Who wouldn't run off in the face of such an intimidating figure?

<Jaguar>

Joanna's gaze didn't move from the side of the forest the roar came from until the analysis was completed.

[I might have lost all my powers but why should I be scared for my life when I have a capable man like him to protect me from all harm… I don't think it's a bad idea to be a damsel in distress after a long time]

She smiled, diverting her gaze to the face of the guy whose attention hadn't moved from where the animal was hiding.

"Stay here while I handle the animal," Amos informed. He took a step forward and was about to take another step ahead when he saw the animal turn and walk back to wherever it came from.

"What was that, I was expecting to have a great battle with it," Amos muttered in disappointment. He turned and walked back to his former position.

"The colour of your eyes showed superiority so how could he not run for dear life when he knows that he is gonna end up becoming your meal," Joanna amplified, grinning. Her gaze didn't move away from his crimson red eyes.

"If that is the case then does that mean my red eyes scare you whenever I transform too?" He quizzed, as he stared into her eyeballs.

"Did you just ask whether your red eyes scare me?" Joanna chuckled. She walked two steps forward with her back facing him.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"How can the sexiest eyes in the world scare me?" She blurted without thinking.

When she realised what she had said Joanna glanced behind her to confirm whether he heard what she said.

Her words echoed in his mind. Despite the countless replaying of her earlier words in his head he still doubted whether he heard the right words.

"Repeat what you just said," He demanded.

Joanna turned back her gaze and faced her front to avoid his passionate gaze. "Forget it if you didn't hear it then," she said and resumed walking into the dense forest.

"I just want to listen to what you said again to make sure I heard the right thing. So repeat what…,"

"No," Joanna cut in as she kept on walking in big strides. Even though she had plans of running away from him, with his abilities her plan turned out unsuccessful.

"You know that is not fair, so say it again hmmm…," Amos coaxed but Joanna pretended as if she couldn't hear him.

He ran after her, demanding the same thing from her but Joanna refused to say the words he wanted to hear.

They were so lost in their little play and didn't realize it when they got to the hut.

"We arrived so soon?" He muttered, looking at the hut in front of them. The disappointed look on his handsome face showed what was going through his mind.

"Hmmm…," she exclaimed as she took a careful look at the surroundings.

She strolled to the big tree trunk that always served as their seat. The tree trunk was located not far away from the hut.

Amos went and sat beside her.

As they raised their gaze and stared at the starry sky, none of them spoke.

"Joan, I can remember the day we met in the forest on the day you returned," He started his gaze focused on a certain twinkling star in the sky.

"I can remember that my mood was at its lowest after the Queen Mother and I got into an argument. Afterwards, I left the place and made my way to the forest to keep you company as I have always done," Amos said.

The scene of what happened that day played in his head as he gazed at the star.

Back then there was no single day he didn't lose his temper; either at Chris, the Queen Mother or the palace workers.

His temper made everyone steer clear of his path. Even the ministers who always ganged up on him dared not voice out their displeasure on his front.

The only place he felt at ease and could be himself was at the cliff where she was pushed to her death.

He was always able to be himself again at the place of her death but the pains in his heart hurt a hundred times whenever he was there.

Just when he was about to conclude that there was no medicine or cure for his pain a miracle happened.
