Bedding My Vampire Mate

"I lost control of myself a few times when we were very close. You know what I mean…," He said not willing to go into details.

"The last time I lost control of my powers was as a result of an outburst of emotions so she was worried when she learned that I lost control more than twice. And that was when I was with you," Amos explained as he kept treating her wounded leg.

He continued explaining how and when Amelia arrived at this idea of pretending to be his admirer.

"To fulfil her duty as my doctor and also help her lovestruck patient out she came up with this crazy idea," Amos concluded.

"So how did Mrs Parker come into the picture?" asked Joanna as she leaned her aching back against the door.

"Mrs Parker had plans to help me pursue you but she never mentioned anything to me because she knew I would never agree to her plans. You can imagine how thrilled she was when her niece returned and shared similar plans with her…,"

"Whoa… so because this was their idea you agreed to make me jealous and also hurt me in the process?" Joanna demanded and removed her legs from his.

Realising that she was unhappy with the revelation he pulled closer to her.

"At first I was against the idea. I vehemently stood against their plans and because of how adamant I was, they got Kyle involved. And he was the one who convinced me," Amos explained his stance.

He can remember the number of times he lost his cool because Amelia went too far with her plans.

An example of such times was when she answered his line and told Joanna that they were together in his home.

Another time was recently when she challenged Joanna's feelings for him. Her mistake was that she chose to do this in his presence.

He was mad beyond reason that day.

"They told me that for someone who was stuck at realising her feelings that a spark in the form of a rival was all it needed to ignite the flames. I agreed because I didn't stand to lose anything…,"

"Hey, how could you casually say that? Do you know how many times I was hurt because of this decision of yours?" She scolded.

"Can you count the number of sleepless nights I have suffered because of the two of you…,"

"I never knew that you love me so much to suffer from not one but countless sleepless nights…,"

"Hey!" She shouted and tried to attack him but she ended up being embraced tightly by him.

"Thank you for loving me so much and I am sorry if I hurt you. I will treat you better in the future, I promise," He whispered and pecked her right cheek.

"It will be your loss if you treat me badly in the future because I won't hesitate to run into the arms of another man if that ever happens," She muttered, beaming.

He released her and moved away after her utterances.

"Stop making that ugly face because I was only kidding," She replied, still maintaining her smile.

"Let it remain a joke because I wouldn't hesitate to kill the man you would abandon me for…,"

"Oh, you are so scary and I am so terrified," Joanna said. She made her hands tremble as if she was truly scared.

"You are teasing me," He said and grabbed her.

Cheerful laughter soon filled the car as the two people played and talked.

After the laughter and excitement died off Joanna continued with her questioning.

"I am sure Amelia wouldn't have gone out of her way to help you despite her busy schedule just because you were her patient. What is your true relationship with her and her family?" She asked with all seriousness.

Amos adjusted well so that he was looking at her face as he spoke.

"You are right when you said her family wouldn't have gone all out to help me just because I was Amelia's patient," He responded.

"Actually, the reason I lost control of myself and my powers is because of an experiment that was conducted on me when I was a child. Not only did the experiment perfectly conceal my identity as a hybrid but it made me twice powerful and better than other hybrids alive…,"

"You were an experiment subject?" She asked in astonishment. "How come I don't know about this?".

"That is because I never mentioned it to others. Only my closest friends and Chris are aware of this. Even the Queen Mother isn't aware of this," He said carefreely.

"Although the experiment enhanced my abilities it went wrong, therefore, causing me to lose control. Mrs Parker and her family felt responsible for this despite not being entirely at fault. This and her another reason made them feel indebted to me…," Amos trailed.

"Mrs Parker once said that she and her family would go to any length as long as it concerns me…,"

"Seeing how she didn't hesitate to help you meant she meant what she said," Joanna mumbled.

"All of them are loyal to a fault that I feel guilty at times," He responded.

Joanna pulled closer and rested her head on his shoulder.

"It's because you are a good person that is why. And I think their loyalty towards you is not based on the incidents you mentioned. You earned it with your hard work, that I am sure of," She mumbled and snuggled in.

He smiled and patted her hair without saying a word.

With both of them not saying a word, there was absolute quietness in the car.

Not long after Joanna moved away from him. She stared into his eyes and asked. "You talked about being an experimental subject. How did you become that without your mother's knowledge? And what exactly went wrong?" Joanna's voice was as still as the water as she asked him this question.

"Can we not talk about this?" He suggested.
