Amy's POV

"Where do you think you're running to Amelia?" He questioned me, sounding like a psychopath.

I gulped down nervously. I tried not to show it but I was way too nervous and it was hard to not show. What is wrong with him? He didn't act like this towards me yesterday. Could it be that he's mad that I'm trying to leave without taking responsibility?

"Can you just... Move a bit?" I asked, pushing him away but he won't budge.

He kept looking at me like I was his next meal, "Are you avoiding responsibility after what happened between us?"

Why is he making it sound like it's my fault alone? I mean, he has enough power to have resisted me, but he just had to do it. Now he's trying to put the blame on me?

"You know, it's not exactly my fault alone. We both had something to do with this. Why don't we just forget it and move on? We're adults, and we should know better. This is something that can happen between adults; it should mean nothing to you, right?" I said quickly, dismissing his words.

His demeanor changed, and he looked like he was pissed off with what I said. "There's no forgetting for me. You have no idea who you're dealing with, do you?"

"Who exactly are you supposed to be?" I finally asked the question I should have asked the first time I met him.

He scoffed. "Amelia Sanders... don't you think it's a little bit annoying that you're acting this way?"

I looked at him in shock. I'm very sure I didn't tell him my full name yesterday. How on Earth does he even know my name? I don't even do that when I'm drunk, so he must have known through some other way.

"Have you been stalking me? How do you even know my full name?" I questioned him, and he just shrugged.

"I have my own ways of finding out. Besides, I can't watch what's mine go to other men, right?" he said possessively.

Am I listening to him correctly? Did he just claim me like I was an object?

"I think you're getting things wrong. Just because I asked you to act as my fake mate doesn't mean you get to do this. I'm leaving—"

"Do you think you can get out of here alive?" he cut me off, making me stop in my tracks.

What is he talking about? Could it be that he would try to kill me if I decided to leave?

I pushed him away and stood up. "Psychopath! I thought you were someone better because you helped me yesterday. I didn’t know you were this annoying. You're going to kill me if I try to leave?"

"Not me, but my warriors will," he stated, with no fear in his eyes.

Warriors? He has warriors? Who exactly is he?

"Welcome to the Flaming Moon Pack, dear princess. You're mine now," he introduced himself, and I couldn't comprehend what I was hearing.

"The... The Flaming... The same Flaming Moon everyone is talking about?" I asked, unsure of what to say.

Did I hear him correctly? There's no way I would have come to the Flaming Moon Pack without knowing.

He stood up with an evil smile. "Yes. You met their alpha—the same one you said you never wanted."

I looked at him in disbelief. He was the alpha of the pack, the same person I said a lot of bad things about yesterday. I suddenly recalled that someone was behind us, listening. When I thought about it carefully, it was him. He heard everything I was saying to my friend.

Then he must have heard that I have no wolf, and that’s why he decided to target me. No wonder he agreed to help me for no reason yesterday. I should have suspected this! How could I even end up in his bed after what he did to me?

"Are you playing pranks on me? Why would I be with someone like that?"

He shook his head. "If only you were attentive enough. Your friends tried to warn you yesterday, but you didn't listen to them."

That’s when I realized the situation. They were trying to warn me yesterday, which is why they were so terrified when they saw him. And I was busy blaming and insulting them for not supporting my relationship. I thought they were jealous of me, not knowing they were trying to help me out. I’m such an idiot!

"You... You psycho! You better stay away from me! This was a mistake, and I will never let it happen again!" I fired at him, getting dressed and preparing to run out.

The best way for me to survive this is to run as soon as possible. I need to make sure I never come across him again. Now that I know his face, I should just do whatever I can to stay away from him.

He sighed. "I was going to do it the easy way, but now you're going to make me do it the hard way."

"What?"

I didn’t expect what he did next. He suddenly grabbed me and made me fall onto the bed, then kissed me forcefully without giving me a chance to breathe. I tried getting him off me, but he was just too strong for me.

He pulled away, and I was breathing heavily. I can't believe he's doing this to me. I heard he was a jerk, and he wasted no time showing me that side of him when we just met.

"W-what do you want from me? I'm telling you, this was a mistake! Leave me the hell alone!" I shouted at him.

"I can't leave you alone. You're mine! Now that I’ve had you, I’m never letting you go to anyone else. Do you understand?" he commanded me.

"I'm never going to be with someone like you! You better let me go unless you want a war with your pack. Once my dad doesn’t see me, he’ll trace me here!" I threatened him.

But that only made him laugh. Why is he laughing at me? Do I sound funny to him?

"You don’t understand the gravity of this situation, do you? You're going to call your father here, and I will make sure your entire family is ruined within minutes."

"What?" What is this bastard talking about?

"Your pack doesn’t know you are wolfless. The daughter of the gamma has no wolf. What do you think everyone will say to your father after he concealed your secret? I will report you and make sure you and your family become rogues if you don’t do what I want," he threatened me seriously.

My face became pale on listening to what he said. He wasn't joking with his threat at all. I know he's someone who kills without caring about the consequences. Just imagining what would happen to my family because of me made me sad. How can he use my sadness against me?

"You... Why are you doing this to me? The are plenty of women you could get if you wanted. Why does it have to be me?"

His hands trailed my body and they only made me angry. I wanted to slap and strangle him but I couldn't do it because he had the upper hand.

"Because I want to make you my puppet."

"What?"

"You become my puppet. You'll be mine alone and do whatever I asked you to do. If you don't, I won't hesitate to show you."

This man is the devil himself. Becoming his puppet means I would have no freedom and he's going to use me however he wants. I never did anything wrong to him but he's treating me like this. What am I going to do? I can't even find out who my mate is for me to get my wolf. How do I fix this?

"Darling, it's not hard to think about. Just say yes and I will fix everything else."

"I... I can't!"

He suddenly grabbed my hair angrily, "you will do whatever I ask you to do and you will not disobey me. Do you understand!"

Is ice became red and he growled. This scared me a lot because he looked like he was going to kill me at any time if I didn't accept him.

I was so scared that I didn't know when I answered, "Yes! I'll do it."

I'll become your puppet but not easily. I'm going to be the death of you too.
