AMELIA’S POVAfter a long warm bath, I got out of the bathroom to find my suitcases waiting for me. I was about to open them to search for the outfit Riley and Miley had planned that I would wear on my first meeting with Max’s family. When I glanced up at the bed and saw an outfit laid out on it, complete with underwear. I stood, perpexled. The woman, Letty, had left me alone, so I had no one to ask. I heard a knock at my door and thinking it was Letty, I said, “Please come in. I don’t know, but is the dress on the bed supposed to be for me? I don’t know about it, though. I haven’t really examined it. However, I’m not sure it’s my style. I mean, it’s not white and I seem to be favoring white lately. Is it mandatory that I wear it? I do have a suitcase full of clothes Max got me.” I sighed. I didn’t get a response, so I turned to see who was behind me, and instead of Letty, I saw another older woman with Max’s blue eyes and facial structures. I didn’t need a soothsayer to tell me, th
AMELIA’S POVI turned, and of course, it was Max’s mum taking a seat at the head of the table and staring pointedly at us. Max’s hand didn’t leave the small of my back as he guided me to a chair, to the left of his mother. He sat beside me to my heart’s content. He said, “Mum, this is Amelia Rhodes, my mate. Amelia, meet my Mum.” I smiled thinly, trying to be polite as I stared at my plate and fighting the emotions running through my mind. Max’s Mum, Crystalbelle said, “We already met, and Amelia, I’d like for you to call me Crystalbelle.” I stared at her and saw some warmth in her face for the first time. Yet, the sharp and snide tone wasn’t exactly gone from her voice. “Analita should just be joining us right about now.”Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw a very tall woman who was the female version of Max and the younger version of Crystalbelle walk into the room, but with a sullen look. She took the chair opposite mine, to the right of her mother, and said, “Good Morning, Mu
MAX’S POVI wasn’t sure that the meeting between my family and Amelia had gone as smoothly as I hoped it would. I knew Analita clearly didn’t consider Amelia a sister-in-law. It was understandable. May, my chosen mate, was her best friend and she had championed us being together all these years. So, being with Amelia was a rain on her parade. I did think my Mum liked Amelia. She was always so frosty that it took time to decipher where her true heart was. Yet my good hunch was that she liked Amelia, and who wouldn’t? Amelia was perfect, and she was my mate. They would have to turn away from their prejudices because Amelia was here to stay. I helped Amelia to her feet and walked hand-in-hand with her towards the back of the house, prepared to give her a tour of the property and then the woods I’d told her about. I could see in her face that she was bothered. Amelia, who always had a good appetite, had even been unable to eat. That was weird; I’d never seen her that way. Walking beside
AMELIA’S POVMax’s kisses always leave me breathless, and this one wasn’t an exception. His kisses were like wine; they were intoxicating. They appealed to something deep within me that I didn’t even know existed until he touched me. They stirred up something within me that I knew I was going to pursue headlong and headfirst soon. He let go of me reluctantly and brought his forehead close to mine. “Someone’s coming.” He said, breathless too. I was pleased that I wasn’t the only one winded by the kiss. We stayed put in one another’s arms with our foreheads together as we listened to our breath against the roar of the waterfall. Our racing hearts soon returned to their regular pace, and that’s when someone cleared their throat around us. “Good Evening, Alpha Max and Lady Amelia.” Max turned around to face this servant. He wrapped his arms around my shoulders and brought me closer to his side. “Hello, Millicent.” Her head was bowed, so I couldn’t really see her face, but the chestnu
AMELIA’S POV“Wait what? You guys learnt from those hot shots?” I said incredulously. Quinn nodded. I couldn’t hold myself back. I said, “So, what are you doing here?”They all fell silent, staring at anything but me. Ingrid, who I noticed said very few words, was the one who broke the silence. “Because duty required us to come back home.” Marla added, “So even if we were at the top of our careers in the human world, duty comes first.”I could sense the sadness in the atmosphere. I took Ingrid’s and Marla’s hand in mine and stared at them and the others. I said, “I can only imagine how heartbroken it must have been for you guys. I only left my high-tier position in the corporate world recently, and truthfully, if the way it hurts me is any indicator to what you guys feel, then that must be a great loss. I’m so sorry about that.” I gave Ingrid a hug and felt her struggle. “We’re not supposed to touch the ruling class without undue“ “I don’t care.” I said, hugging her tightly. I ga
MAX’S POVI stared at her as she walked beside me; she radiated so much warmth and beauty that it was almost impossible to take my eyes off her. To believe that she was going to be mine—my bride—even took my breath away. I’d waited for a day like this for so long, and now it was finally here. Never in a million years had I imagined that my bride would be half as beautiful as Amelia was. Her bright green eyes were so prominent in the dress she was wearing. It matched her red hair, and the dress showed off her perfect creamy shoulders and beautiful slender neck. She carried herself with an innocence that I found attractive. I doubt she knew the full effect she had on people. Yes, even with her charm. Those maids had been enthralled with her, and she hadn’t even been using her charm on them that moment. The more time I spent with her, the more I was able to deduce her special abilities. I’d have to tell her about them sometime. She stared at me as we were about to begin the descent do
AMELIA'S POVWait what? What did I just hear? Max's chosen mate? Max has another mate? Weren't wolves meant to have only one mate? And she was what? Challenging me to a duel? Where the winner would be Max's Luna? So I had to fight for my position? "Tonight at Moon's peak." This foxy lady with eyes as dark as night said. What? Tonight?I stared widely from her to Max, trying to understand the words I had just heard. "There will be nothing of such May Blackwater." Crystalbelle said from across the room as she walked towards us from across the room. She was wearing a white dress that seemed to glow in the light. "Why would that be, Crystalbelle? I have a legit right to a duel. I was officially announced as Max's chosen mate and I wasn't-""Amelia is with child." I heard the collective gasp from around us and then the crowd grew wild in whispers. I stared at my feet as attention was directed my way."What?" May Blackwater said, looking at me and Max with incredulous eyes."You know
EVE'S POVRegardless of the blowout with Luke the previous time, I still wasn't deterred in my pursuit. Luke wasn't going to escape my claws. I'd begun deliberately ordering baby clothing and other things and having them delivered over at his house or at his office. Either way, I was communicating the message. I was carrying his baby. He refused to respond to my calls or texts, and once, when I'd gone to his house he hadn't let me in. He was shutting me out. But that didn't matter. I still was going to get what I wanted from him.I was on my way to his house once again when my phone rang. The call ID flashed, showing that it was Ezekiel. I parked the car. I had to hear Ezekiel's voice. "Hello Sweetheart " he said lazily at the other end of the line. Something must be up because his voice sounded unusually pleasant. He was making a great effort, and that meant he probably had a request to make. "What do you want Ezekiel?""Awwwn, come on sweetheart. No good morning? No nothing. Naw!
AMELIA'S POVI sighed when I woke up; my eyes felt dizzy, and I cleaned my eyes.My eyes met the wall clock, and I froze.What the duck was the time, 11 am?Just now it was 5:30 pm. And I was getting ready to go to the party that was being held at the Liberty house, not after Max had come in and stretched my legs.. making them sore.I stood up, and although my legs felt like jelly, I managed to get up….walking out of the room.I went down the stairs, my eyes looking around for Max.He was seated on the couch with our babies.. in the crib and he was feeding them something from their little bottles."Baby," I called. "Was the party postponed to this evening?" I asked, walking to the couch."You walk beautifully, baby." He mumbled, winking at me."And oh, the party was held last night..you fainted, so you couldn't attend." He said with a serious face.I glared at him, anger rising to my throat.How fucking dare him?! He was the reason I didn't attend. I wanted to.He had fucked me last n
AMELIA'S POVA party was being held in the Liberty House.A week from now, and they'll be signing a peace pact with the hunters.I sighed, watching my little kids in their crib while I dressed for the partyThey were going to stay with Crystabelle at the party.The woman had made them her kids ever since they got back."Look how pretty your mama is; isn't she looking hot for mom today?" I asked, staring at my little peanuts."Oh please...not now; I'm shy when it comes to cameras; please don't..." I paused and chuckled. "or you can eat this shit instead." I leaned down and began to twerk my ass."Yeah! Eat this shit!" I caused twerking."Yeah, I can eat this shit whenever you want." I stilled. My eyes widened as I turned to watch Max leaning on the door.He looked so hot in that signature suit of his and his hair...Fuck! He was a Greek God. He looked smokingly hot as he watched me with those lustful eyes that said so many things.And one was to damn this party and pound me into the m
MAX'S POVThe remaining hunters began to leave, dropping their guns and ammunition as they vowed never to cross the border again.Luke was dead, and so was Analita and some of the wolves and hybrids created by Luke.I stood in front of the car, arms pressed together, as I watched Rick order the men about what to do concerning the ammunition."The war is over." He said, coming to stand beside me."I guess so," I said, a smile forming on my lips."There's nothing to be happy about yet." He said."Shut up, Rick!" I glared at him, as he held out his bandaged arm."Oh...I think it's time to go meet Amelia and fuck her to death. I'm sure she's probably jumping on her bed while carrying her little peanuts." Rick said."You're making me regret the fact of bandaging that arm for you," I said.My phone rang and I picked it up."Baby.""They're home. They were brought to the house as mail. They were mailed to the house." Her voice was brighter than the whole day. Even the sun couldn't compare."
LUKE'S POVMy Men and I surrounded the east part of where the hunters were hiding.Analita and her men surrounded the west, while Max and his men took both the south and the North.After the death of many of their men, the hunters had taken refuge in their mansion, and none was coming out.I signaled one of my men to go through the open door.Another followed, and another followed."We've gotten in, Max," I mumbled to the transducer that was attached to my ears."Okay, Analita will take the other side to go in, and then we will barge in if there's any problem." Based on what we've gone through, using guns on these people was better, but I couldn't wait to shred that animal to pieces.He had tried to convince Eve about betraying me and killing my child. Our child!"And one more thing, Luke. Follow the code; if we lose this change because of you, I'll kill you myself." Max said.I rolled my eyes, Ignoring his grunts as I stepped into the Mansion as well.A bullet flew past me and hit t
LUKE'S POVMy head was banging hard as I drove to the mansion.I had long suspected Eve using me, but I had brushed it off the moment I saw how helpless she was.She was dying, and she was carrying my child. Tears burned the back of my head, blocking my vision as I drove faster.. speeding up till there was nothing in sight.I pulled off at the front of the Mansion, throwing my keys to one of my men."Sir.""Yes?" I looked up, a scowl on my face, as I watched him cower."Talk right this instant!""Doctor Gabrielle came, and she's attending to Miss Eve right now. I was told to let you know about it."I nodded, hurrying inside.No matter how evil she was, I was not going to kill her. She was going to be my baby's mother. I hurried up the stairs, taking three steps at a time, until I was just in front of her door."Is there a problem, doctor?" I asked, looking around as my friend deepened.I didn't like that look at all."There's a problem with Miss Eve, I don't know what she took, but
MAX'S POVI wasn't seeing anything other than red.Red blood clouded my vision as I held onto my sword so tight.I watched my men as they began to prepare to leave for the war.My men at the forefront were doing good. A hundred hunters were dead at the moment, and I would not stop till I was sure my children were fine and brought home.FLASHBACK...I had gone home with Rick to get some things Amelia would use since she was asked to stay in the hospital by the nurses.When I arrived at the hospital, Amelia was asleep, and the children...my children were nowhere to be found.After I had successfully taken out the wolfsbane mixed with sedatives that had been injected into Amelia's body...she woke up."Are you back? I don't know what happened; I just fell asleep out of nowhere." She said, cleaning her face with her hand. Her eyes went to the crib, and she sighed."Who's with the kids? Is it Rick?" The question burned my whole body right into my heart and it was as if...I stopped breathing
AMELIA'S POVWhen I woke up, Max was by my side.He was holding a baby. The baby was very small and I blinked at them.Max holding the baby made me feel a lot more happy than I was supposed to be."Max," I called and he looked up instantly, a smile covering his face."Hey, beautiful.""Hi, Handsome." "See." He leaned down so I could see the baby. "Look at our little Creation." He mumbled.A smile broke off my lips as I stared at the beautiful baby in his arms."A boy and a girl?" I asked, and he nodded."They're so beautiful. Very beautiful." I said and he nodded."And they take after their mother." He said and dropped the baby in the crib."Thank you," I said, sincerely thankful for what he had done.He shook his head."That was nothing." He leaned down and kissed my nose. "Now I know how painful giving birth to a child is, especially an Alpha's kids." He chuckled."You felt it?""I took some of the pain. Of course, I felt it." He said.I felt so tired and sleepy, yet I wanted to be
AMELIA'S POVDon't fret when I tell you that I'm almost due. I was going to give birth to...not just one baby, but twins.Earlier when we had gone for some tests, the doctor convinced us to see our little cutie, but instead...we saw two cuties.I sighed when I brought down my legs from the table.I felt bloated. Like really extremely full.I felt something lick my feet, and I looked up to see Whitney rubbing me with her furs and licking my feet.The first day I arrived in the Homelands after visiting John and Grace and telling Max about our child...he had gotten me a dog, saying in times like these, having a dog was good.I couldn't deny that, because the little puppy that was growing rapidly had become my new friend whenever Max had gone to the office and Crystabelle wasn't coming."What is it, Whitney?" I asked, and it purred."No, stop doing that. I don't want to make chocolate now. I'm so tired, and there's no one here to make that." I whined to Whitney.Compared to humans, wolve
AMELIA'S POVMax's eyes widened, and he stared at me as if I were joking.He shifted until my back was against the table, and then his eyes went to my belly."You're pregnant?" He asked again."Yes, we're having a baby," I said.He chuckled, his eyes meeting mine as he lifted his hand and placed it on my belly."Yes," I said again, as if he didn't hear me. "You're going to be a dad." A deep growl left his throat as he met mine again."We're going to have this one," I said, holding his hand on my belly."We're going to hold this one alive and nothing is going to go wrong," I said.He nodded, like a little child that had been offered the best game in his life."Thank you." He mumbled, pressing a kiss on my cheek."Fuck! I'm going to be a dad. We're going to be parents." He said.I nodded, feeling him place thousands of kisses on my cheek.At this point, my cheek was going to catch fire due to how badly it was burning."Are you okay? You're not supposed to be in this position." He said,
