The Hunted (Sequel to My Vampire Mate)

Amias

Amias' pov

He was suspicious. Nathan, Katherina's brother was suspicious of me. He knew something was not right about me. 'That's what you get for dating a hunter and getting her pregnant Amias' I said to myself. I was stood on the front of Elena and Damon's home. It was a beautiful home and it was huge. 3 floors and a huge backyard. It reminded me of my old home, where I lived with my parents when I was no older than Breccan was.

**FLASH BACK**

I was a happy child. At the age of three I was always running around and begging for my parents attention. My parents always gave me unconditional love. I thought I would spend the rest of my life this happy. I was wrong .

Six months after my fourth birthday my parents went out of town for the weekend. They left me with my grandparents from my mom's side. I always loved going to my grandparents. On the first night of my parents trip, there was a knock on my grandparents door. My grandfather opened it. He walked back into the room with two policemen following him. I was curled up on my grandma's lap.

"I'm sorry to inform you that your daughter and son-in-law have been in a car accident" those words were all it took for my world to come crashing down. I may have only been four but I wasn't stupid. My parents were dead. They weren't coming back. I would never see my mothers smile or hear her laugh again. I would never see my father again. Never again would he give me a kiss before bed.

I ended up living with my grandparents. They were the only family I had left. My grandfather passed away when I was 16. My grandmother died two years later. Then I met Katherina and my life changed. Forever.

**END OF FLASH BACK**

Tears welled up in my eyes. Thinking of my parents and grandparents always brought tears to my eyes.

"Hey" a male voice said from behind me.

I turned round to see Nathan stood there with his hands in his pockets.

"Hi" the tension in the air surrounding us was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

"So, I wanted to talk to you about Katherina and Breccan. I want to hear your side of the story."

I nodded.

"I met her when I was eighteen. My grandmother had died two months before I met Katherina. I was still grieving. We met in a café. Katherina told me about her parents dying and we sort of connected in that moment. We talked for hours. We started dating. We became a couple and then three months into the relationship she got pregnant. I was there for her through the whole pregnancy. She was sixteen, she was scared. I couldn't leave her to go through that on her own. She didn't want to go home because she was scared of what you would think of her so she moved in with me. She stayed there through the whole pregnancy and a couple months after Breccan was born. Then she told me that she got a call from you, she said you were checking up on her. You wanted her to go home and she agreed. She left Breccan with me and told me to keep in touch. So we did. We talked a couple times on Facebook but she never came to see Breccan. I showed him pictures of her though. Then a few years ago he saw a picture or something that she put on from the cruise and he wanted to go, so I found where the cruise would be stopping next and took him there. We got on the boat. A couple days into the trip I found Kath relaxing by the pool and I told her that Breccan wanted to meet her. She came with me to the room I was staying in with Breccan and met him. From that day she came to see him everyday on the cruise. A few weeks after the cruise I went outside to get the mail, I came back in and Breccan was on the floor. I wasn't outside for more than a minute. Breccan was just laying there, on the floor, he was still. I called an ambulance but by the time they arrived it was too late. He was dead. I called Kath and told her, she was heartbroken. Then today I decided to bring him back. I found the closest crossroads and summoned a demon. I told her I wanted my son back and I didn't care how long she gave me as long as I got to spend time with him before I died. She offered six months and said that was the highest she was going to go, so I took it. I made the deal. Then I came to find Katherina to tell her and well, you know the rest"

He listened as I told him what happened. He tears in his eyes but they never fell. I knew what question was coming next. He wants to know what I am. He knows I'm not human.

"What are you? I know you're not human." I didn't know how he knew but he did.

"I'm a werewolf. I triggered the curse before I met Katherina. She never knew."

"How did you trigger the curse?"

"I was driving home from a friends house. It was pitch black. I was about five minutes from my house when this guy stepped out right in front of the car. I was doing 40. I hit the brakes but I still hit him. He crashed into the glass and fell on the ground. I got out of the car and called an ambulance. When they got there he was already dead. Turned out he had been stabbed but managed to get up and walk to the road where he stepped out I front of the car. I killed him. I was talking to police officers when the pain started. I fell to my knees and apparently my eyes turned a yellow colour. I looked into my family tree and found out that I got it from my mom's side of the family.  Now every month I turn."

I looked at him again. He looked a little shocked but calm. He knew now. The hard part was going to be telling Katherina that her son and the father of her son are wolves. The things she hunted, but I had to tell her.

"So does Katherina know?" I shook my head. "You have to tell her before Breccan triggers the gene" I nodded.

"I know. I'll go tell her now" he nodded. Here goes nothing. I was about to tell the woman I loved that our son and myself were werewolves.
