" Where are we going now?" Mercedes asked. They left the restaurant a while ago and Felix promised to bring her back some other time after she expressed to him how much she enjoyed the food. Now they were off to the amusement park in town. Felix heard the was fair and he decided to go there with Mercedes. He didn't tell her because he wanted it to be a surprise. Initially, he wants to go to the movie theater but after finding out about the fair, he thought that would be better. " You'll find out when we get there, okay? I promise that you will like it," he says to her and she flops down her seat sulking. She couldn't wait to find out where they were going but she trusted Felix's judgment. If he says she is going to like it then she surely will. No doubt about it. This time it didn't take long and they were already there. This time, Mercedes was in awe of all and she got out of the car herself as soon as Felix parked the car. She was like a little girl amazed by a jar of colorful cand

" Don't worry," she says sweetly before taking his hand in hers. There was an unfamiliar sparkle in her eyes that could light up the room. " I am still the same person you know. Nothing has changed. My heart beats for you," she added taking his hand and placing it on her chest where her heart beats. Felix felt a steady heartbeat. Felix closed his eyes and concentrated on the rhythm of her heart He connected with it and let it guide his heart to hers. " Do you feel it?" she asks while he still has his eyes closed. He opens them and smiles before saying," Yes, I do." Mercedes had not said anything to Felix but she felt different now she was conscious to a greater extent of her past. Remembering everything that she went through in her previous life was an eye-opener. She now understood why she had to be the one to defeat Drakoen. This was truly het fight no matter how much she hated it. But now she was worried about everything. She didn't want to fail and see all of her people die once

Mercedes couldn't stop blushing thinking about what happened in the shower. Unfortunately, Felix stopped things before they could go all the way, telling her to anticipate what more he will do to her. He left her with the impression she needed to imagine all he could do to her. Both of them manage to clean up and get ready. They walked together to the kitchen to grab breakfast and officially get ready for the day. Jake and Crystal had breakfast ready and just waiting on them. " Oh God, you guys. I thought I would have to start today waiting on you. Couldn't it wait until you get some energy?" Crystal teased them. Mercedes's cheeks became a new shade of red. Felix cleared his throat." Sorry about that. I couldn't decide on what shirt to go with. It was quite a pickle." Jake pretended to cough and gave him a side-eye. Felix shrugged it off. They all sat and enjoyed a chat. It felt like a normal human day without worries for some time. One would wish it was really that way but the sudd

Felix had lost control. His wolf was now surface and in control of the body. Mercedes noticed by his eyes that had turned dark. She cupped his face and caressed his cheek. " Roland. Is that you?" she asks breathlessly. " Yes, it's me, mate! Long time no see," he smirked. Mercedes was suddenly nervous but excited at the same time. It was a mixed feeling. " Long time it is," she responded with a small smile as she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear shyly looking everywhere but at him. He grabbed her chin roughly but not enough to hurt her, compelling her to look him in the eye. " I am dying to ravage you all night long until you are satiated and spent. I want to sink my teeth into your sweet slender neck to mark you as my own. You don't know how much I have been trying to keep it together and not rip this human apart for complete control," he said referring to Felix. Mercedes was perplexed at his crude choice of words but heck, she was not complaining. She had a feeling that he

It was time to leave. Felix helped Mercedes pack everything she needs to leave. It broke his heart but it was something that must be done. There had to be separated for some time but Felix knew that it was going to feel like an eternity without her. Mercedes kept stealing glances at him. He seemed to be sulking and lost in thought. She felt bad to be leaving him behind as well but there is nowhere out. She sighed and suppressed her emotions. Once they were done packing, Felix carried her bags and they joined the others downstairs. " Do you have everything you need?" Alexa asks Mercedes. "Yes, I do," she replies. Crystal comes forward and takes Mercedes's hand. Everyone looks at her as she put an amulet on her hand. It was a crystal-like amulet " I have been wanting to give you this amulet for some time. Right now felt like the perfect time to do it," Crystal says to her. Mercedes looks at the amulet and tears come to her eyes. " I had Alexa work her magic on it. I hope it will
