Chapter 16

Amelia P.O.V

Next morning I was roaming around the corridors to clear my head from last night event. The memories are still fresh in my mind making me more restless. I couldn't even sleep properly last night, tossing and turning with my thoughts. Suddenly I stopped in front of a large door, curiosity getting the better of me, I peaked inside the room and my eyes widened as I saw the view in front of me. My mouth gaped open as I stared at him. He was standing in the middle of the room, he wasn't wearing any shirt as he moved sword in the air swiftly, his muscle were flexing at each movement. I just stand there and looked at him, all the rational thoughts flying out of my mind.

Suddenly his back clenched and he stopped in his spot, he tilted his head in my direction, I quickly hide behind the large door away from his eyes. I could hear his chuckling, slowly I moved myself to peak in the room and stumbled on my feet when I saw him standing directly in front of me. "What are you doing here?" he asked, his voice heavy from the exercise, I raised my head and looked into his golden brown eyes, my eyes moved towards his chest automatically, sweat was dripping from his chest going down, I gulped and averted my eyes away, going back to his face. He had a smirk on his face which made me internally groan, he knows how much he effect me. "I was just looking around" I said acting casually or trying to act atleast. "Looking around for me!" he asked raising an eyebrow, I scoffed and put a little distance between us. "Don't give too much importance to yourself, I wasn't looking for you" I said with a frown on my face. 

"If it wasn't me then who were you looking for?" he asked.

Damn, who was I looking for?

No one, but he doesn't have to know that.

"I was looking for--" I looked around as he waited for my answer. "You were looking for" he mimicked me, I huffed at him "I was looking for Alex" I blurted out without thinking.

Alex!

I don't even know much about him and we don't talk at all.

His facial expression changed as a frown took over his handsome face. "Why were you looking for him?" he asked, his hand squeezed into fist. I didn't want to respond to him because I don't own him but the look on his face made me do it. "Um, I was thinking of doing some practice to protect myself thats why I was searching for him" I lied straightforward, I was just roaming around and came here ogling him if I told him the truth it will boost up his ego which is already bigger than a mountain. His shoulders relaxed and he gave me a curt nod "Come in then, I will teach you" he said walking inside the training room, I huffed not moving from my place, he stopped when he realize I wasn't following him, he turned towards me again with raised eyebrow. "What are you waiting for?" he asked, I shook my head "I don't need your help, someone else can teach me" I responded, he better be stay away from me after what happened in last night dinner. Suddenly he smirked "Are you afraid that you can't handle me" he said cockily looking into my eyes.  

I remembered last time we were in a field and what happened.

My cheeks got on fire all of a sudden and I moved my gaze away from him. He started chuckling, to prove him wrong, I moved inside the training arena. "Your proximity doesn't effect me" I said walking towards weapon section and looking for a perfect weapon, my hand moved on its own and I pulled a shiny katana out, I looked at it in fascination. I turned around and walked in the middle where Chase was already standing with a sword in his hand, he looked impressed as he saw the weapon of my choice. 

"Shall we" he said. Without giving any response to him, I flung my katana in his direction, he smoothly stopped my attack and an egoistical grin appeared on his face. He pushed my katana and fling his sword aiming for my chest, I bent down quickly dodging the attack but suddenly he pushed me on the ground, I groaned as my back hit the floor, I quickly stood up and glare at him "It is a sword fight not wrestling!" I snapped at him, he gave a short laugh "Enemy will use every trick to defeat you" he said without any ounce of guilt. I gave a low growl to which he smirked moving his sword in the air and swinging it. Suddenly an idea struck in my mind and a smile appeared on my face. Enemy can use any tricks to win right! so be it. I pulled the end of my tank top and removed it, I could hear his breath itched which made me internally laughed, I was now only in my spots bra, he stand rigid in his spot, his jaw clenched and I could see his eyes turning black.

Maybe it wasn't a good idea!

He balled his fist and moved his eyes away "You should wear your top!" he said with pained voice not looking at me. A blush appeared on my face, I was thinking of same thing when all of a sudden Caleb entered in the training room, he looked at Chase in alarm then his eye met mine, I quickly pulled the top on my head and wore it again. "Chase, you have to see it" he said without making any comment on my condition, his voice showed worry as his eyes moved to me again. Chase turned his head in his direction "What happened Danvers?" he asked trying to control his breathing.

"Come with me, you have to see this on your own" he said not disclosing any information. Chase looked at me "We will continue our training other time" with that said he was out of the training room with Caleb. I sighed and placed my Katana back in its position and sliding beside the wall looking at the entrance.

What happened?

Chase P.O.V

I walked outside of training room leaving my mate behind, it was a good decision of me walking away from her otherwise I wouldn't have been able to control myself in front of her, my beast was on the verge of coming out and claiming his mate but I pushed him back with all the efforts. 

"There should be a good reason for you to call me like that Danvers" I said blankly, I was spending time with my mate who doesn't want to be with me and he interrupted our time. No sarcastic response came from his side which made me confused, this thing must be important then if it made Caleb shut his mouth, "Hurry up Chase" he murmured, his whole body tensed as he took quick steps towards a room.

"What is the matter?" I asked him again as he opened the door and both of us entered in the room, I stopped in my track and he walked towards the bed standing beside it. "This is the matter" he responded with worry in his eyes. I stared at the person lying on the bed in shock.

This can't happen.

I was with her a while ago.

She can't be her.

If she is her then who is she?

I slowly walked towards the bed and stand beside it, softly touching my hand on her cheek to see if she is real or not. 

She was real and breathing. "Emerald" I whispered in shock still staring at her, the tingle spreading through my fingers as my fingers stayed more on her cheek, I could feel the mate bond cackle between us. I abruptly pulled my hand away from her sleeping form and looked at Caleb, grinding my teeth. "Care to explain" I snapped, this cannot be happening, if she is Emerald then who is Amelia?

"I don't know, I have found her on the entrance door, she was unconscious" he said with disbelief, I sighed and looked at Emerald again, she looked the same as I saw her two years ago. 

"Call King Lorel, I need to talk to him" I said rubbing my temples, he quickly nodded his head and went out, I exhaled a deep breath and sat beside her. My eyes never leaving her form. Slowly I took her hand in mine, same tingles appeared on my skin relaxing my muscles. 

I have to figure out the truth.

If she is Emerald or not!

Is Amelia playing with us all along.

Something doesn't fit right in this situation.
