Not Forgot

Amber POV

Todd led Damien and I upstairs to a bedroom at the end of the hallway. Standing in front of the door, Todd looked directly at me. " Miss Amber, this is the room that you two will be staying in. I should forewarn you, this is also YOUR room."

I felt confusion as I asked him, "What do you mean MY room? I have never been here before."

Todd let out a deep sigh, "Yes I know, but this room has been here for you since your father came here. Like I told you before, your father never once forgot about you. I know his hope was for you to come live here at some point. Everything else I am sure he will explain to you when you are ready. I just didn't want you to be overwhelmed too much when you went inside the room." He started walking back down the hallway the way we came.

"Todd." I said loudly to get his attention. "Thank you. I know you don't know me but you have been really kind and considerate since I have met you earlier."

Todd looked at me with a small smile on his face, although I could see the bewilderment written all over his face. "No thank you necessary Miss Amber. You know, if you would have grown up here, we probably would have been the best of friends."

"And why is that?" Damien's gruff voice demanded. I could sense Damien's anger and possessiveness coming alive. I put my hand on Damien's arm and started rubbing it gently to calm down his anger.

"Because my father is her father's best friend and beta. It would have only been natural." Todd said as he shrugged his shoulders. He then turned around and made his way downstairs.

I turned to Damien and brought his face into my hands. "Damien, you need to stop getting so angry and possessive. Todd didn't say anything wrong." I whispered to him. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and he brought me in for a hug, placing his face into the crook of my neck. Taking in a deep breath, he seemed to calm down a little bit.

"Amber I am sorry. I am trying, but it is so damn hard. You mean everything to me and I do not like other unmated males around you."

I took his hand in mine and turned back to the door. "It's OK Damien, we will work on it together. Now let's take a look at this bedroom." I said as I turned the knob and opened the door.

I gasped in shock at what I saw. Beautiful could not even describe the scene in front of me. The walls were a pale shade of green with a King size bed on the far side of the room. It was a canopy bed with beautiful white curtains. The bedding was stark white, with throw pillows that were a matching shade of pale green. Throughout the room, there were shelves on the wall with crystal displayed. A lot of them were figurines of Rose's or some other thing having to do with nature.

I started walking around the room to take it all in, and tears started threatening to fall from my eyes. There were picture frames on the wall that held pictures of my father and I. Most of them were from our trips to the beach when I was a child, playing in the ocean water.

There was a small table in the corner of the room; on top of it was a large vase containing white lilies and orange roses. I could not believe that my father remembered so much about me.

I felt Damien come up from behind me and wrap his arms around my waist. "My love, are you OK?" he whispered into my ear.

I looked down at the ground and closed my eyes to try to keep the tears from actually falling from my eyes. "I don't know." My voice was weak.

Damien placed a kiss onto my mark at the crook of my neck, which sent tingles throughout my body. I shuddered at the pleasure that he could make me feel with just that small kiss. "Love, why don't we get a shower while we wait for the food to arrive. I'm sure you could use the relief."

I turned in his arms to face him. Meeting his gaze that was full of longing and lust, I asked him, "And what kind of relief would that be Mr. Lionheart?"

He looked deep into my eyes, his eyes turning a darker shade of green, and said, "My love, I have no idea what you are insinuating." He said with a smirk. He then brought his lips to my ear and whispered, "Any relief you want my Princess," As he took my ear between his teeth and gently nibbled. There was a sudden sense of need that burned inside of me.
