Chapter 56

• AMELIA’S P.O.V
• Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Clara smile softly and she gave me an encouraging nod before she disappeared with her grandparents. Their expressions led me to believe that they already knew about Kaden being my mate I wondered how long they knew and if they had plans to tell me about it or they wanted me to figure it out by myself. As soon as the door shut behind them, Kaden leaned forward and claimed my lips with his. I was shocked and taken aback by the action.
• It took me a few seconds to gather my bearings. Kaden’s hands wrapped around my body and pulled me impossibly closer to me. He held me with an ironclad grip as if he was terrified that I was going to evaporate from his hands. His grip was so tight that I didn’t doubt for a second that it would bruise later.
