IN THE HANDS OF AN ENEMY

"STAY HERE. Whatever you do, you cannot escape from me. I know your scent so wherever you will go, I can find you." Amado said to the Black Saint. The vampire didn't even dare to talk back. He was pissing her off. Both of them were inside of a cave in Mt. Gonzales. He is waiting for the sun to shine. When that time comes, Amado decided to face his father.

Before that, he held captive the Black Saint. He was amazed at the Black Saint. The woman was snappish and surly. However, her character didn't lessen her beauty and he didn't expect her to be this lovely. She looks innocent. Her skin was smooth and silky. She possessed a small face and expressive red eyes with thick eyelashes. Every time she looks back at him, he felt different. There was something in her stares that makes him feel that way.

For Amado, the woman's eyes was just an ordinary thing for a vampire. It was their trademark. However, he felt something different, extraordinary. Every time their gazes lock, he instantly lost his focus and just realized he was flirting with the vampire.

Every time he does that, he loves how she responds. Her eyes were dilating in anger. It amazes him. Maybe, he wasn't expecting to see her this sensitive. Her cute little nose, pinkish lips have undeniable effects on him. He couldn't control himself to stare. In the end, he defies himself.

She was a vampire and he was a wolf. They are not compatible. They were not destined. Maybe, he was just glad he didn't expect what he was discovering. Her scent was different too and he loves it. She has a little scent of a vampire but the sweetness was there. The peculiar fragrance of a flower that seems to have a personal scent. At that age, many women went through Amado's life. He was immortal but he seemed only thirty years old. He met women in different races and faces but this woman stood among the rest.

Amado silently sighed when he saw the vampire grimace at him. She was not even saying her name to him. He couldn't blame her. It was just natural she didn't like him. He was a wolf. However, he has different plans and ideology. His principles were way different to his clan that they don't even want to understand.

And even with this vampire.

"What is your name?" he asked.

Her eye rolls and Amado was just amused. No one ever does that to Amado Estacion. In just one smile, he gets a girl right away. But this woman, she's different. Damn, she was tempting, he wanted to kiss her. She was the kind of girl that Amado likes. Bad-tempered and Amado will try to persuade her and caress her until she calms.

The woman blushed and looked away. Amado once again caught by the vampire's charm. He stared at her with uncontrollable affection lost again. He simply observes her. He watched her face and neck until he noticed her pulse slowly beating. He wondered. How did that happen?

Ah… just like what he discovered that this woman could bear a vampire child. Her body was different compared to other vampires. He thought, could she also bear a wolf's child?

Hey! What the hell were you thinking? Are you going to try to touch her and see to it if she could bear your child? Will the child handle it and live? What if the vampire dies?

Amado turn aside. What was he thinking? He was just amazed and amused by this vampire, Amado's mind thought of so many things that he wasn't supposed to think to. He turn aside again.

He cleared his throat. "I'm Amado."

She finally gives him a fierce look. She looked at him from head to toe. "You are the naughty prince of the wolves?"

He laughed. It seems that his name already reached the vampires. "Yes. It seems you know me." He said and grinned. He couldn't understand himself why he felt happy knowing this lady knew him.

Naughty prince. He was known for that. He was the only son of the king who always refuse to follow his orders. He didn't mind. Amado was used to it. He didn't even bother to give his side to everybody. What for? No one also dare ask him and listen to him. Even his father.

Her eye rolls and looked away. "Everyone knows about your father. It is only natural we all know about you too."

The corner of his lips rose. "You knew me. Now, tell me your name."

She didn't answer. She just remained looking away. She didn't have any intention of telling him her name. "I don't want to. Wolves killed my friends so don't you expect that I will tell you my name. You have no right!"

Amado felt sorry for her. He could feel her pain and sadness. He could almost taste it. The woman breathe heavily, her shoulders move up and down faster. It seems she'll start to cry.

He sighed and hold her shoulder, tried to calm her. He sympathized with her. He instantly noticed she wasn't that cold. Compared to other vampires, they were cold and stiff. But this woman wasn't like that.

"I'm sorry for what happened." He said sympathetically.

She wiped her eyes and breathe deeply. However, Amado wasn't really happy about what happened. He honestly felt sorry for her. This woman didn't have any idea that he was blaming himself for coming late. His plan was simple: capture the Black Saint without killing anyone.

But he came too late. He changed his course for the wolves not to notice him. But sad to say, his clan didn't waste any minute. His father immediately send warriors to hunt the saint. He looked again at the lovely vampire. He noticed she was holding her right rib.

"Is it hurting?"

She nodded. He sighed. He was worried. He couldn't understand himself again why he was feeling that way. He watched her again to look for an answer then he realized, he wasn't comfortable watching her hurting. Maybe, he was just a man who didn't like the idea that some woman who was under his care wasn't in good shape. She was under his care. Being a man, it was his duty to take good care of her.

For Amado, this woman needed to drink blood to heal. If she was just a normal human, she already died. However, he was thankful. She was an immortal who can stand the pain and endure it.

He stood. "It's morning. Don't go out. I'll be back. I just need to go somewhere and talk to someone."

She didn't talk back. Amado sighed again. He looked at the container and when he saw it was filled with silver chains, he think twice if he will use it to her. In the end, he decided not to. She knew her life was in danger. He expects her to be wise and be vigilant. He didn't use the silver chains because Amado knew what would be the effect on her. It will weaken her and may kill her.

In the end, he decided to go. Using his extraordinary speed, he went to see his father.
