Amelia’s POVAfter getting away from the jungle safely, after seeing the wild dogs lurking around; I booked a cab and headed towards the Ark Town Hospital, with the herbs tucked in my bag pack.I headed towards the receptionist as I asked her loudly… way too loud for a hospital, “Mam! May I know where Zane Alistair’s room is?”“Sure, let me check,” she replied as she slowly typed in the name and searched.“Can you hurry up for Goodness' sake!” I whispered under my breath.“Yeah, he is in Room 19,” she replied lazily as if my haste doesn’t bother her.“What floor?” I asked, a little annoyed by her slacking behavior.“Second.”I stood in front of the elevator with my heart hammering out of my chest.Fuck! today I have to face one of my biggest fears! But it’s okay I will reach Zane sooner.I consoled myself as I entered the elevator, and thankfully there were already a couple in there.The ride to the second floor was a bit hellish, but I survived through it and rushed out to the recept
Amelia’s POVI was hoping Melissa wouldn’t see me entering the room, so that I could escape her gaze just like I have for the past three weeks.I have been careful enough to not come face to face with her, because I know she would give me a piece of her mind about how I helped her brother in escaping the hospital, and rightfully so I deserve being called out for such an immature act.Zane had improved immensely, he took a week’s leave from the school but returned back as soon as he was able to walk properly without any support.I still haven’t told him about Garrett, and I think I should do it before he creates more ruckus for Zane.“Tessa!” I heard Melissa call my name out from a distance.Uh-oh! Fuck!I turned around and pretended as if I didn’t hear her and walked in the other direction. But she was quick and caught up to me, as she asked, “Are you avoiding me?”I turned to look at her as I pretended to be confused, but she just laughed at my poor acting skills as she said, “I just
Amelia’s POV I woke up with this sticky feeling in my hair. I groaned loudly when the strong smell of my perfume hit me like a truck. Ugh! What the hell is going on? Why does my head feel like it’s getting pounded by a hammer? I reluctantly dragged myself out of the bed, as I noticed that I wasn’t wearing anything. What the fuck?! My white dress was kept at the corner of my room, inside of the laundry bucket whereas there was a black leather jacket lying on the floor. I instantly tried to think what happened last night but I couldn’t remember anything except for the loud music and me going to that party and standing alone in the corner. Did I drink too much? I don’t even remember that. And who does this jacket belong to? It does look a bit familiar. I picked it up and sniffed it but I couldn’t distinguish any smell apart from my own perfume. Everything in this room smelled like my perfume as if the bottle fell on the ground and broke. I realized I was standing naked in the mid
Amelia’s POVIt was raining heavily when I tried to catch a ride back home, after school was over. I was worried as to how I should go back home.I was waiting near a grocery store so that I wouldn't get too wet. Just then I saw a man with black leather jacket riding towards me on a motorbike. I immediately grew wary about my surroundings as I tried to plan my escape if he tried to harm me.But instead of attacking me with full speed, the bike stopped right before it could hit me. I jumped a little, startled by the proximity. The man’s head was covered with a helmet so I couldn’t see who it was.I walked away from the bike and stood at another spot to cover myself from the rain. The biker came at me again, the sound of the motor growling reaching my ears. I was ready to make a run, but then he took off his helmet and I was surprised to see it was actually Zane.I breathed out a sigh of relief and he laughed lightly as he said, “Come on, hop on!”“I am not traveling on that in this hea
Amelia’s POV“Are you feeling better?” I asked Mrs. Alistair as I offered her a glass of sugar syrup to make sure she feels better and energetic.“Yes, I am. Thank you very much,” she said warmly as she took the glass and drained its content in one go.It was Lily’s birthday today, so I had gotten her some cake after saving a little money for over a week. I offered some of it to Mrs. Alistair as well, ignoring Liliana’s grumbling noises, which she was making because she wanted to eat the entire thing.“No, thank you. I am good,” she said and then looked around.“I see, you guys were celebrating. I am sorry that I disrupted your fun,” she said sheepishly.I remember how I saw her lying unconscious on the road, while I was out to get the cake for Lily. I got her to the hospital to get her checked with the help of some locals after which I brought her here.“It’s okay, we don’t mind,” I replied with a warm smile and after that I urged Lily to greet her.Soon, Mrs. Alistair started talkin
Zane’s POV“What the fuck was that?” I grumbled as I left Amelia’s house. Her brother has completely lost it. How fucking dare he talk to my mother in that voice. She is a goddamned Luna, for fuck’s sake! He was in bloody luck that Amelia was there, or else I would have crushed his throat with my bare hands.“Zane, let’s go,” my mom urged as she held her head in stress.“Mom, what was that about?” I asked my mother who looked extremely pale and distressed.“Nothing, Zee. Just get me home please. My head hurts,” she replied with her brows drawing in suffering so I had no other option then to comply.* * * * * * * *I was sitting in the school lounge sipping on my brandy even though it was just nine in the morning. I was stressed and worried about my mom. She has been acting very differently ever since she left the Red Moon Pack’s house. She even fought with dad over the call, as he was spending all of his time in Noxus city like usual.The Noxus city was very rich and amazing for the i
Amelia’s POV“So, you are not scared that I might take advantage of you? Now that we are all alone on this terrace?” Zane asked me with a lopsided smile on his face.He and I came on a random building’s terrace so that we could rehearse for the competition peacefully. It is not safe to appear together, elsewhere in the town. It will stir up speculation which is not good for either of us. He cannot be seen hanging out with someone as lowly as me, and my brothers would probably rip him apart in shreds if they saw us together. So it was wise to be alone amidst nowhere.“Why would I be afraid of you?” I asked him with a confused frown.“Because I am a man with power and hormones, who can overpower you in seconds,” he shot back and I widened my eyes at him. He can be so crude at times, it is really impossible to be serious with him!I thought for a moment as I exhaled a shaky breath before answering him, “I am not scared of you because I know you wouldn’t do anything to me without my conse
Amelia’s POV Finally, it was the day of the competition. Zane and I had worked our butts off in the previous two days to prepare for today. We were going to perform ‘Senorita by Shawn Medes and Camilla Cabello’ and I was sweating profusely as we drove through the Ark Town and headed towards New Bryxton Town for the competition. I lied to my brothers as I told them that I will be with Tessa for the entire day as well have to work on a school project, when in reality here I am with Zane, driving in his posh car which feels so cool to drive in. No wonder not only girls but also boys fall at his feet, this car is his impression of superiority. Wearing his Ray Bans and looking as confident and handsome as ever, he drove the car smoothly, with just using one palm. The other one was resting next to my thigh and I wished he’d put it on my exposed thigh. “I am extremely nervous,” I blurted out, as I twisted my fingers in front of me. He glanced at me for a moment and then looked back at th
Zane’s POVI walked inside of Velvet Fist as the intense sound of music rushed in my ears. I don’t even know what I am doing here, I just know that I need to find answers.Answers which my own father is denying me of. I need to know the real truth. The absolute one before I tell it all to my sunshine.I just hope she understands why I kept it away from her.“Zane?” Uncle Beck's voice came from behind and I turned around to see him chug down a drink, looking a bit sulky.“Uncle Beck,” I said in a greeting as I moved towards him.“What’s shoved up your ass today?” I asked him as he downed another drink.“Probably the fact that my mistakes are catching up with me,” he replied and downed another drink.Before the waitress could get him another one I motioned her to go away, much to my uncle’s dismay.“What’s with the booze? Trying to kill yourself before my dad does?” I asked him as I started my manipulation on him.My father taught me a lot of things and manipulating someone to get answe
-Amelia’s POV-We both controlled our breaths and evened out our clothing before heading out. Although I completely forgot about hair which was an unruly mess right now.When we arrived at the table, we saw Ronan and Tessa seething at each other as they were locked in heated eye contact.Well, well!Just as they saw us arriving back, Ronan’s lips tilted up in a lopsided smile and Tessa looked at the sandwich in front of her.“Oh look who we have here? I think the entire Ark town heard you both today,” he remarked, making my entire body red in shame.“Ron, don’t!” Zane warned him playfully as he smiled cockily like the bastard he is, both of them enjoying my embarrassment.“What are you talking about? I didn’t hear anything,” Tessa said questionably.“Umm… nothing!” I squeaked as Ronan and Zane snickered, “I will tell you about it later,” I said to her quietly as I slid next to her in the booth and Zane sat next to Ronan on the other side of the table.“So Amelia, now that you have tie
-Amelia’s POV- I smiled bashfully as I filled Tessa in about everything that went down with Zane. I am glad she is happy for us both. I guess she is the only person on the entire planet who supports us right now.Tessa looked up and so did when we saw two tall and muscular figures walking towards us. She smiled and nudged my arm, teasing me slightly.I was already feeling like I was about to pass out. I don’t know why I am feeling all of these sensations but there is something different about this meeting with Zane.It feels… intimate. More than we have ever been.I greeted Ronan who came here with Zane and then I looked at Zane who had no expression on his face, and I wondered what was wrong with him.Ronan nodded at me with the same stoic expression and then looked at Tessa and winked at her evilly.“Hi, Tessa,” Zane said, scratching the back of his head.“Zane,” she looked up at him, expressionlessly.What is with everyone here? Why is everyone so stoic today? Am I the crazy one
Zane’s POVMy phone rang again and I watched it like it was my biggest enemy right now. Amelia had been calling me for like an hour now, but I couldn’t bring myself to pick up her call. I don’t know how to talk to her, how to look her in the eyes knowing that her mother is probably getting banged by one of the dirty John’s.In future, if she ever finds out that I knew about all of this and still hid the truth from her, she will despise me. We finally were moving past our differences and then this bomb landed on our heads.I pressed the end call, but after a few seconds it rang again but it wasn’t Amelia this time. It was an unknown number so I frowned and checked the caller identity on one of those caller identification apps.It said Samuel, I begrudgingly picked up the call to know why exactly Samuel from the Moon Stone Pack was calling me.“Zane —?” Amelia’s voice boomed through the phone as soon as I picked up.What? How could it be her?“Where the hell are you and why are you igno
Zane’s POV“Oh Zane! You have grown up to be such a young man,” she exclaimed happily as if didn’t just see her alive after years, and that too fucking my uncle.“What are you doing here? And how are you alive?” I asked her stoically, not sparing her any good manners.“Zane, I know we haven’t met in a long time but there are some things I cannot disclose to you. However, I would love to know if you have met any of my children recently? How are they doing, Zane? Are they okay?” She begged me, and if I were a gullible boy I would have fallen for her beggar voice, but I knew better than that to trust a woman who stayed hidden from her own family.I looked at her with a disgusted face as I said, “Like you care,” I scoffed and took a menacing step toward her, “Now, why don’t you tell me why you stayed hidden from your own family when you knew they’d need you?!” I asked her, my voice was like a cold whisper which made her look at me with guilt.“Why don’t you ask your oh so amazing father
Zane’s POVAfter noticing my deadly gaze on him, Beckham said something to the girl in his lap who stopped fucking him immediately as she threw a glance in my direction. When she met my eyes I could see that she didn’t recognise me at all and that’s how I knew it wasn’t my Amelia. I was sure she cannot be in a place like this. But then who is this woman? Amelia doesn’t even have a twin sister or anything? But this woman is an exact doppelganger of my Amelia.My uncle and the woman, they both scurried and wore their dresses as Beckham headed towards us whereas the woman disappeared behind the glass door. Leaving me and Ronan like confused lambs. “Who the fuck is that?” I shouted as soon as Uncle Beck reached closer to us. Ronan was looking just as riveted in knowing as I was. He was still thinking it was Amelia but I was sure she wasn’t. This place is too dark and filthy for my sunshine, even though I am sure she could even make this place look like a heaven’s corner.Beckham looked
Zane’s POVI was covered in sweat and splashes of blood when I heard my phone ringing erratically.The caller ID showed it was my Dad, I frowned and picked up the call, at the same time I motioned Ronan to take care of the motherfucker that was nearly dead in front of me.Garret should have never messed with someone like me, no matter how tough of a guy he is, he cannot win against me! And Ronan was also here to help me, on top of that. There was no way he stood a chance against two future Alphas.Ronan made the bloody vampire scream like a pussy when he jabbed his eye with a blade, at the same instance my dad’s impressed voice boomed through the phone, “I see son, you are having your fun,” he said and I could hear that he was pleased to know I was somewhat merciless.“Oh, that’s just Ronan, taking care of some matters,” I replied, not wanting his hopes to reach the sky.“Good, that’s good, you both will be the pride of Ark Town one day, ruling together,” he asserted, Ronan was like a
Amelia’s POV“Where the fuck have you been?” my brother roared in anger as soon as I entered the house, trying to be discreet but obviously I failed miserably.“What? What do you mean?” I stuttered as I saw Alex fuming with anger and looking down at me.“I remember making it very clear to stay away from that guy, Amelia! Why don’t you just comply?” he asked me with a sneer on his face.Now, I have had enough of this Alpha shit! I was seriously getting fed up with everyone trying to make my life as miserable as they like. I turned to look at him, in a challenging way as I propped my hands over my hips and retorted, “You know you have no right to control my life like this! I am an adult now, and I can decide what I want!”“Yes, but you are my family so, is loyalty for your own pack too much to ask for?” he questioned and I widened my eyes at him. How could he even assume that I will ever betray my own pack. Falling for someone from another pack, is NOT a betrayal!“I am not disloyal, Al
Amelia’s POV After a long one hour drive, which was filled with peaceful silence and cold breeze, we finally reached near my pack house. Zane stopped the cab a few meters away from the gate of my house and I stayed seated. I couldn’t move from my spot even if I wanted to. I just couldn’t end feeling this way yet. The want, the need and the feelings we have for each other feels completely otherworldly. “I don’t want you to go inside,” he said in a low voice, almost as if he thought that out loud, and didn’t actually mean to say it. I placed my palm over his hand softly as I replied, “But I have to.” Our voices were hushed as if we were scared that if we talked too loud the spell would be broken. After a brief pause, Zane gulped down as he asked me, “Will you meet me at the cafeteria tomorrow for coffee?” I was surprised by his sudden request. I looked at him, my lips parted with surprise and fascination. How does he manage to make me so calm yet anxious at the same time? It is
