Amelia's POVI sat on the armchair with a book on interior designing as I have an exam due in two days.Instead of reading the book before me, I sat in reflection as how the years, going by had been to me and my family. I sat as I watched them throw a ball at each other and with each pass comes a funny banter between the two siblings.I watched Alex in admiration as how growth and development can change someone into something unrecognisable. He was growing and revolving and the result are just beautiful."Papa!" Ethan yelled at Alex after the ball Alex threw hit him on the face."Sorry, son!" Alex apologized, laughing devily."Ethan! You can't let him get away with what he did! Take this and throw it at him! Be careful, boy!" Hailey said as she passed him a dirty ball that she held by the tip."Shit, Ethan!" He yelled in anger."Oops, sorry uncle Adrian!" Ethan said quietly to Adrian who just walked into the garden and got hit by the ball on the face."Oh please, spare kee that!" He g
I woke up to a rainy and gray morning, feeling the weight of the heavy clouds bearing down on my chest. The sound of the rain tapping against my window only added to my sense of foreboding. As I dragged myself out of bed and trudged towards the window, I was startled to see a black SUV parked outside my house. It had tinted windows and was unlike any car I had ever seen before. I wondered who it belonged to and what they were doing here.As I turned around, I saw my stepfather standing at the door. He was a tall man with a bushy beard and piercing eyes that always made me feel uneasy. He looked at me with a stern expression and said, "Get ready. We're leaving.""Leaving? Where are we going?" I asked, trying to hide the fear in my voice."We're going to the alpha king's mansion. You're going to be his bride," he said bluntly.My heart dropped at his words. The alpha king was known to be a ruthless and cruel leader, ruling his pack with an iron fist and showing no mercy to those who cros
As I stepped inside the alpha king's mansion, I was struck by its grandeur. The marble floors, the high ceilings, and the ornate decorations were unlike anything I had ever seen before. The alpha king's assistant, Victoria, led me through the entrance hall and into a sitting room."Please have a seat, Miss Amelia," the alpha king’s assistant said, with a fake smile, gesturing towards a plush armchair.I sat down, feeling nervous and out of place. I had never been in such a fancy place before, let alone met a werewolf alpha king who was notorious for his cruelty."Would you like some tea, Miss Amelia?" she asked, pouring some hot water into a teapot."Yes, please," I replied, feeling grateful for the small kindness, but unsure if I should trust anything from the alpha king's pack.As I sipped my tea, the alpha king’s assistant began to show me around the mansion, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was being watched. Everywhere we went, there were guards and werewolves lurking a
The dream was so vivid that it felt real. The alpha king, holding my child, with a hunger in his eyes that made me shiver. I shook my head to dispel the image, and I realized that I was not in my room but in a sitting room. How did I get here? I looked around the room, and my eyes settled on an older woman sitting across from me. She looked at me with concern etched on her face. "Good morning, Miss Amelia," she said. "You had a bad dream." I tried to recall who she was. Then it hit me, she was Vanessa Chen, one of the servants of the alpha king. Vanessa was different from the other servants. She was kind and gentle, and her eyes held a sadness that I couldn't explain. I wondered what her story was. "Are you okay?" Vanessa asked, bringing me out of my thoughts. I nodded. "I'm fine. Just a bad dream," I said. Vanessa smiled reassuringly. "It happens sometimes. The alpha king's mansion can be a strange and intimidating place." I shuddered at the mention of the alpha king. He was the reaso
As I sat in my room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of resignation wash over me. Vanessa's words had hit me hard, and I knew that she was right.The alpha king had brought me here to use me as a means to an end in his quest to break the curse. But as much as I wanted to hate him for it, I couldn't deny the pull I felt towards him as time passed. The way he looked at me made my heart race, and every time he touched me, it sent shivers down my spine. I knew I shouldn't feel this way, but I couldn't help it. One night, as I lay in bed, the alpha king entered my room. I could feel his presence even before I saw him. He walked towards me, his eyes burning with intensity. He leaned down and kissed me, his lips claiming mine. I couldn't resist him, and before I knew it, we were locked in a passionate embrace. "Amelia," he growls, his voice rough with desire. "You belong to me. He took control, his hands exploring my body as he pushed me back onto the bed. I moaned as he moved down my nec
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The alpha king, my supposed mate and the father of my child, was willing to sacrifice us both just to break the curse. I felt my heart shatter into a million pieces, and tears streamed down my face as I overheard the conversation."I don't care what happens to her or the child," the alpha king growled, his voice filled with anger. "All I care about is breaking this curse once and for all. If that means using them as sacrifices, then so be it."I backed away slowly, trying to remain unnoticed as I processed his words. How could he be so heartless? As soon as I was out of earshot, I ran back to my room, my mind racing with thoughts of escape. I couldn't stay here any longer, not with the alpha king's plans for our child. I had to find a way out, and fast.I slumped onto the edge of my bed, feeling utterly lost and overwhelmed. Every fiber of my being screamed for me to flee from the alpha king's grasp, but the enormity of the situation was suffocat
Alpha King’s Blackwood POVI paced back and forth in my opulent study, my mind consumed by a tempestuous blend of anger and desperation. Amelia had dared to defy me, to run away from the safety of my mansion with our unborn child. How could she be so foolish, so defiant? Did she not understand the magnitude of what she possessed—the key to breaking the curse that plagued me?My thoughts were interrupted by the haunting memories of the curse's malevolence. I could still vividly recall the horrors that transpired during the nights of the full moon, when the primal instincts overwhelmed me, turning me into a monstrous beast, devoid of reason or control. I had seen the terror in the eyes of my own pack members, the devastation left in the wake of my uncontrollable rage. As the alpha king, it was my duty to protect my pack, and yet, I had become the very embodiment of their fears.But now, with Amelia carrying our child, there was hope—a chance to break the curse, to regain control over my
Amelia's POVI sat in the back of the taxi, my heart pounding in my chest as I stared out the window. It was hard to believe that I had actually escaped from the alpha king's mansion. After everything I had been through, it felt like a dream.As the taxi drove away from the mansion, I couldn't help but reflect on my stay there. I had been treated like a prisoner, kept under constant surveillance and told what to do every minute of the day. The alpha king had been cruel and cold, showing no compassion or kindness towards me.But why? Why would he be willing to sacrifice me and my unborn child to break the curse? It didn't make any sense. I couldn't understand why he would be so heartless, so willing to use us as mere tools to achieve his own desires.As I thought about it more, I realized that the curse must have been weighing heavily on him. It must have been the cause of his cruel behavior, his inability to control himself during the full moon. Perhaps he was afraid of what he might

The Alpha King's POVI could slowly feel that pain, that torment, the torture that comes with this day. The day that brings embarrassment and disappointment to the people of and people in Blackwood pack.I need to escape, I can't let Amelia see what I become once I change to what people call me. I need an escape. But didn't Vivian say the end had come but what was this?I shouldn't feel like this if the end had truly come. I feel miserable and just not myself, I could feel my inside crawling at an insane speed. My inside was in a turmoil.I need an escape. I need to leave this pack before the inevitable happens, hopefully this time around, escaping will help. The symptoms and signs were ten times than usual, I was struggling. I need to break free, an escape. I suddenly opened my eyes to get out of bed but my eyes met the calmest hazel eyes staring back at mine before the face broke into a smile upon seeing my opened eyes.What is this? I just stared back at her."Happy birthday, swe
Amelia's POVI excitedly went about arranging and putting in orders things needed for the birthday. I wanted this to be a remarkable one, the beginning of a new beginning in our lives. The bonds between Ethan and Alex was fast growing, they go no day with being together. They always have something to do together and my heart knows no greater happiness, to see my child receive the fatherly love he deserves a d need for his growth. I was deprived of that and I just too excited about this.I walked into the kitchen with a big smile as I greeted the staff and walked up to where the foodstuffs and items for the big day was. "There is enough fruits, that's nice!" I said to myself as I walked about the store."Do you think this bacon will be enough for the big breakfast?" I asked the young lady who was in charge."Yes, my lady!" She said with a bow."Oh please, come off this! My lady? Amelia is enough!" I said to her."Huh? Qu…" She uttered as I cut her short."Don't even try that weird com
Amelia's POVIf I could count days through this dimly litted room, I would have come to know what day and time it was. Or maybe it still the same fucking day and just because I have been waiting for long I think I have spent a month here. Just maybe."I thought Adrian was going to bust open this place immediately them noticed our disappearance!" Hailey said with a little giggle."You giggle isn't alone, I also share from that," I quietly told her."Really? Towards the Alpha king?" She asked me, I could imagine her turning her head to face me. "Yeah, he had been so sweet lately so… just as I had predicted of myself, I am beginning to expect a lot from him. Like save me from this room where I can't even see your face talk less of my hands. Burst the door up and get me like a damsel in distress, just the fictional part!" I said to her as I heard her breath deeply."I hated him at first and I still do. He literally broke me into two then fixed me back. I wish to get out of here so I can
The Alpha King's POV "What do you mean by you can't find Amelia?" I yelled as I got up immediately.. "What the fuck is going on?" I asked him."It happened when Silvermoon pack attacked us with the rest of the other district belonging to the Moons. A fraction of them broke into the pack house and attacked those who were in the house!" He explained."Who the fuck allowed such a ridiculous thing to happen? Where were the guards?" I asked as I threw the chair I was seating in before at one of the men that attacked us."We are still investigating it! I specifically told Adams and his men to wait and guard the pack house," Darius informed me."Where is Alex and his men?" I asked him furiously."I have detained them at the pack house!" He said to me."Why the pack house? Why? Why not the dungeon, Darius?" I yelled at him as I pulled him away and walked to the car available, dragging my gun with me."Hey, Alex! Wait! Hold up!" I heard from behind me and I could tell it was Adrian but that
Amelia's POV We heard a very loud sound. "What could that be? Why is the pack house dry and somehow deserted?" I asked, looking around, something clicked in my head. "Let's get you to safety! We don't know what is going on!" I said to Vanessa as I led the way back to my room so I can give Ethan to Vanessa while we wait and check what's going on. "What about you? Hailey?" She called as I placed my hands around her shoulder and led her through the passage that led to the rooms with Hailey closely behind us. "Granny! You will be fine! I am not going anywhere, we just need to check if things are alright," she said from behind. Vanessa nodded quietly. "You can hear those loud sounds, to me, it sounds like a gunshot," Hailey added, looking around. Just then the loud piercing alarm went off, this was always used to address the people and this has to be an alarm for danger. I picked Ethan and together we went to the basement. I located a room there that was out of this world a few d
Amelia's POVI stood still, overlooking the woods as I just munched on a diced fruit brought from the kitchen. Fruit had been my companion and best friend since Vivian left the pack. "Miss Amelia, your food is here!" I heard as I turned back to see who the hell just disturbed my peace."And what did I tell you about bringing food for me?" I asked her. I am okay with the fruits."The Alpha King ordered me to bring this for you and he said you must have a taste of it, else he will shove it down your throat," she said to me. Wow! Funny! Isn't that funny?"And I might as well shove it down his ass!" I yelled at her. She tried not to laugh as she quickly dropped the tray containing the food."What the fuck are you doing?" I asked her as I moved closer to her.She slowly opened the lid of one of the bowls placed on the tray. Before me was a familiar soup that I can't remember where and how or with who I had that nor can I remember when."What is this?" I asked her, pointing at the soup."
The Alpha King's POV"Right all that is wrong, Alex! Right them so you can be free. Remember it was your father's behavior and attitude that made you go through all this. You have a n now, do you want him to go through the same thing? Who knows who might be after him when you are gone. Barbara was after your life and thank the holy goddess that she made this so easy for you. Bond with your son so you can be normal, is that so hard to do?" Adrian asked me before picking a sword. Swirled it around before diving in for a fight with one of the guys.He was right in all he has said but wait… did he just call me abnormal? This is why familiarity isn't supposed to be allowed in my premises.I picked up a sword and gestured for the guys to be away."So let this 'abnormal' guy show you how it is done!" I said to him, adding emphasis on the word."What does the abnormal guy know? He doesn't lift a finger! Never has and never will, I have been doing this before you were born so what do you know?
The Alpha King's POV"Don't let her know the bouquet of flowers and food tray is from me! Do I make myself clear?" I asked the delivery guy as I pointed out what I wanted him to get to Amelia for me."Yes, my lord! Miss Amelia Brown, right?" He asked again for the umpteenth time."Are you sure you are competent? Can you do the work?" I asked him, looking at him awfully."Yes, my lord! It's an honor to work for you my lord!" He said with a bright smile."It's no honor, because you aren't working for me but your boss. You are only delivering my order that your boss told you to come get and do the work. But you don't look competent to do this job! If that bouquet of flowers and food tray gets to the wrong person, you will have yourself to blame and you will implicate your boss," I said to him, shattering his heart. I watched as his bright smile turned upside down, such is life."Yes, my lord!" He replied slowly and sadly with no enthusiasm as before."Yeah, do a great job and I might as
