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 suffocating. Vanessa's words of caution echoed like a resounding gong in my head, reminding me of the immense danger that loomed over me. How could I possibly escape from the clutches of the most powerful and feared alpha in the region? The mansion was swathed in layers of heavy security, and every move I made was monitored and scrutinized with intense vigilance. I couldn't even imagine slipping away unnoticed.The sound of a knock on my door sent a jolt of fear ricocheting through my body. My heart thundered so loudly that I was sure the alpha king himself could hear it. My mind raced, wondering if he had finally discovered my plot to escape. I rushed to the door, my body tense with anxiety, and flung it open. Relief flooded through me when I saw Vanessa standing there, her face etched with concern.As she stepped inside, her words flowed in a gentle cadence, laced with sympathy and empathy. "Amelia, I overheard the alpha king's plans too. Are you alright?"I shook my head despondently, tears cascading down my face like a never-ending stream. "No, I'm not. He doesn't care about me or our child. He just wants to use us to break the curse."Vanessa's eyes widened, mirroring my own fear and dread. "I know, Amelia. That's why I'm here. I want to help you escape."My mind raced with disbelief. Was she truly suggesting that we run away from the alpha king's mansion? It sounded insane and suicidal, but at the same time, I knew that I had to do everything in my power to protect my unborn child."How?" I asked breathlessly, wondering what kind of plan Vanessa had in mind.Vanessa's face twisted with determination as she spelled out the details of the scheme. Her words were measured and precise, filled with caution and a sense of urgency. It was not going to be easy, but it was our best chance at freedom. I had to leave under the cover of darkness, with utmost stealth and silence.As she spoke, my heart raced with both fear and hope. The idea of escaping from the alpha king's iron grip was both thrilling and terrifying, and the thought of being caught made my stomach churn with anxiety. But I knew I had to do this, for the sake of my child's safety and my own sanity."Okay," I said finally, mustering all the courage I had left. "But you have to be careful. If you're caught, the alpha king will kill you."Vanessa's eyes met mine, and I saw a flash of steel resolve in them. "I know, Amelia. That's why you have to be swift, stealthy, and utterly silent. Our lives depend on it.As night fell, I made my way to the front door, my heart pounding with anticipation. Vanessa had already disabled the security system, so I slipped out undetected. The mansion was dark and quiet, with only a few guards patrolling the grounds.As I made my way towards the exit of the mansion, I could feel my heart pounding furiously .My mind raced with thoughts of what would happen if I was caught. I couldn't bear to think about the cruel punishment that awaited me if I was caught. I knew I had to leave as quickly as possible, before the alpha king could catch me. Every step I took felt like an eternity, and I was constantly looking over my shoulder, fearing that the alpha king would catch up to me any second. I couldn't bear to think about the cruel punishment that awaited me if I was caught. I knew I had to leave as quickly as possible, before the alpha king could catch me.Suddenly, I heard the alpha king's voice boom out behind me. "Where do you think you're going, Amelia?" My heart skipped a beat, and I froze in place. I could feel his hot breath on my neck as he leaned in close to me."I'm sorry, I can't stay here," I whispered, tears streaming down my face."Amelia, you can't run away from me," he growled. "I own you. You belong to me."I took a deep breath and turned to face him. "I don't belong to anyone," I said, trying to sound braver than I felt. "And neither does our child. We're not your property."The alpha king's eyes narrowed, and I could see the anger burning in them. "You're making a big mistake, Amelia. You have no idea what you're getting yourself into.""I know exactly what I'm doing," I said, my voice shaking. "I'm leaving this place, and I'm taking our (unborn )child with me."The alpha king laughed cruelly. "You think you can outrun me? You think you can hide from me? I'll find you, no matter where you go. You belong to me."I took a step back, fear overwhelming me. "I don't belong to you," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "And I never will.As I said I ran as fast as I could, never looking back, I was determined to get as far as I could from him. With my swollen belly, tears filled my eyes as I ran out of his sight, never stopping, his words echoed in my mind with fear "Amelia, you can't run away from me," he growled. "I own you. You belong to me."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
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
