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
Amelia’s POV It’s been quite some time since I came to Joy’s. I had or come ever since I caught Garret nipping on my co-workers’ throat. I wouldn’t lie, I was scared of returning here. Thinking about what he would do next. Will he try to attack me as well? Being a werewolf has its perks but getting bitten by a vampire was not in my forte because I knew the side effects. If that ever happens I would have to keep begging Garret for his blood every full moon night so that I don’t die. Not only that, I will lose any chance of finding my mate because I will be in transition to become a hybrid. Hybrids are very rare, they are a mix breed of werewolves and vampires. I will have to become Garret’s fated, as a hybrid and I can no longer have pups. Our future breeds will be born as Vaewolves, they will be a hybrid of mine and Garret’s blood. Ugh… what am I even thinking?! I swear sometimes I overthink way too much, and I have to thank my mom for that. I cannot let any of that happen so it
Zane’s POV I was sitting in the cafeteria as one of the girl from the Dark Moon Pack was hitting on me. I had absolutely no interest in talking to her, but I didn’t want to come off as rude so I heard her blabbering like an animated doll. I saw Ronan, my buddy, walk in the canteen and I shot him a pleading look. He immediately came to my rescue as he made an excuse on my behalf and we walked away. The girl said something along the lines, ‘We will catch up later.’ But I had no such intentions. Ronan hung his arm over my shoulder as we walked away from the cafeteria, “Bruvv… I just heard something about the chick you’re interested in,” he said, examining my face closely. “I am not interested in anyone, Ron,” I replied simply. He stopped walking and shot me a look that screamed ‘Don’t bullshit me’. I paused in my tracks as well, nodding my head sideways because of my dramatic friend. “So you don’t want to know who asked Amelia out for a date?” he asked as he lifted a brow at me. My
Amelia’s POV “Hey,” Zane yelled loudly and I took off my ear pods that I was wearing and looked at him. He was looking hot as fuck in his black denim and blue shirt. His hair slightly tousled and I fought the urge to run my hair through them. “Oh, Hi!” I breathed out with a smitten smile. “I just wanted to know if you’d be free today?” he asked and my breath caught up. “What for?” I asked, carefully. “Well, we haven’t completed the assignment that Mrs. Gomez gave us,” he reminded me. Oh right! The assignment. Why else would he approach me? Stupid me! I scolded myself. I thought he would…. Yeah? He would what? “Oh that’s right, actually I completed it from my end, however yours is still left,” I told him and he stood there, tall and proud. Looking down at me. I noticed how big he actually is as compared to me. He is well built and his veiny arms were peeking through his neatly rolled up sleeves. He smirked as he caught me salivating on his muscled arms like a bitch that would
Zane’s POV Laughter echoed around me as I saw everyone chilling and having the time of their lives. I was sitting at the bar, at one of my father’s whorehouses. We had many of them, but my favorite was this one – Velvet Fist. The neon sign reading “Cum In” was displayed brightly right in front of me and I scoffed as I watched it vengefully. I motioned the waitress to serve me another drink, and she leaned all the way on the table to serve it as her puckered nipples stood out from the little nothing’s she was wearing. I hate this. I think I am going to end up in jail tonight because I am seconds away from snapping. My frustration was growing by the second as I drank all of my drink in one go, the alcohol burning my throat. I was incredibly annoyed, not only because she was out there with some measly human but also because I wanted to get my mind off her but I was doing a very poor job at it. I never had this issue before, whatever issues I have had before I used to feel nice when
Amelia’s POV I wasn't sure what was going through my head when I decided to sit naked in front of a guy I am highly attracted to. But as expected I was having urges to kiss him the money he started talking to me in his deep sultry voice.Zane had no idea what he did to me, what his close proximity felt like. I swear if he knew half of the things going in my mind, he would be creeped out.When we played the game and he asked me about love, I was shocked. I never imagined that word coming out of his lips but there it was.Not only did it shock me but it scared me, because I have already fallen in love with him once … I cannot do it again and get heartbroken.Zane isn’t the kind of guy you’d date or imagine spending your life with. He is a player, and I know he cannot offer me the very thing that is most required in a relationship – loyalty.He is a man in his prime, he has many options lying around. He will surely regard my feelings as a crush and make fun of me. I don’t want that… but
Zane’s POV My heart was jumping out of my throat as I tracked Amelia’s location to reach her as soon as possible. I don’t know why, but I had a feeling that she might be in danger. Or maybe it is just my mind's wishful thinking that she is not enjoying her time with that limp ass human. I didn’t have the time to take out a car or anything, so I turned into my wolf form, my bones cracking and restructuring as I shifted completely. My thick white fur, moving with the wind. With a loud howl I raced to the location, which was near the Ark Town Park. I searched for her for a full minute before having to lose control and wildly trashing some things in my way. I bit into a steel pole harshly, yanking it out of its place as I threw it around. My saliva dripped through my wolf’s mouth as I walked from the park towards the forest behind it, growling in anger the entire time. It was pitch dark, so I used my senses to see through the jungle but couldn’t find a trace. However…. There was th
Amelia’s POV I finally caught my breath, as I looked at Zane with wide eyes. I was extremely grateful, more grateful than he would ever know. If it weren’t for him, Garret would have…. Oh my god! I am about to cry just thinking about his attack. When he tried to overpower me, I decided that I would give up because there was no way for me to win against him. But, when he opened his zipper and tried to force himself inside me, I fought! I fought with all I had, because there was no other choice. I couldn’t let him do that to me and just stay quiet about it. I tried to punch him, but he’d given me a fair share of beating before pushing me on this tiny little bed. My lip was hurting a lot, and so was my head. I even felt a little dizzy but just as I was about to give up fighting again, a wolf roared. At first, I thought it was a rogue who had come here to kill us both but then the handsome wolf almost killed Garret, and stood there in front of me, howling and growling. I immediately k
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
