AMELIA’S POVI couldn’t understand it. One moment, I am notified of my baby’s passing and I am checking his heartbeat myself, and the next, I lose control of my very own body. My very own body. I couldn’t even explain what was going on. All I knew was that I began to jerk so rapidly, and before long, I felt the second-greatest pain I'd ever felt after childbirth. My bones began to break. I couldn’t help but let out a scream. Amidst this, I saw Max charge into action. He ushered everyone out of the room and then shot the door firmly behind them, leaving just me, him, and Xavier in the same room. First it was the bones in my arms, then the bones in my leg, so I couldn’t stand and instead lay on the floor, screaming in pain. Then my spine broke, and I couldn’t help it as more tears fell from my eyes. Max knelt beside me and, with so much gentleness and calmness, said, “Calm down, Amelia. Calm down.”I felt anger rise in my heart. “How can you say that? My son is dead. My bones are bre
MAX’S POVI sat by Amelia’s side watching her sleep. She still hadn’t regained consciousness since she fainted, although the Doctor had given her an all-clear. She wasn’t in any physical danger, but the fear was that she might be in psychological danger, considering the fact that she’d lost her newborn son and also made her very first transition into a wolf all in one day. The Doctor notified me that Amelia was also very exhausted and was thus to be on bed rest for some days. It would even help them properly observe her to determine if she was in any immediate psychological danger or not. On one side, I was thrilled that the sorcery binding Amelia’s wolf was broken, and now she could be 100% who she was born to be. However, I’d also lost my son, and my wife was still in a state of such deep sleep it felt like she was in a coma. I wasn’t in the best mood. The door opened behind me, and I turned to see who it was. It was Meredith, Amelia’s mum. Her face was white with grief, and even
AMELIA’S POVMy eyes fluttered open when I heard the shuffle of movements around me. Sure enough, I saw Millicent, Miley and Riley in the different parts of the room. I sat up and cleared my throat, which garnered me their attention.All three of them ran to my bedside with relief on their faces. I couldn’t help the smile that crawled over my lips as I said, “Did I have you worried?”“Not just us but the entire castle, ma’am.” Millicent said with her face brightened with joy. “Thank you guys.” I stared at them and saw that they were each holding some specific items. Millicent was holding a cloth hanger on which was hung a white dress; Miley was holding a brush; and Riley was holding a pair of white flats. I recognized all of those things as mine. “What’s going on? Why are you with those things?”They stared at one another, and I sensed their reluctance to explain to me what was going on. "Millicent? Miley? Riley? Please talk to me. What's going on?" I pressed.I swung my legs off t
MAX'S POVAmelia stood frozen and for a moment, I turned, knowing she was frazzled by the sight of Eve and Luke at the funeral, and I was livid too. Yet her stiffening was even more worrisome. I turned to stare at her face, and in that moment, I saw that her mouth was open as if to give a scream, yet she was eerily still. I tried to trace her line of sight, and I saw that she had seen Xavier in his coffin. Her gaze was fixed on him, unblinking.I began to feel her body shake and to salvage the situation, I pulled her into my arms and eveloped her in a hug. Before then, her eyes were flashing between green and grey. I couldn't risk her transforming in front of the crowd and losing control. I whispered to her ear, "Take a deep breath Amelia, take a deep breath. It's okay. It's okay."I felt her hand on my sides, clutching me tightly and her claws digging into my skin. It felt uncomfortable, but I kept whispering into her ears. I felt her relax and encircle me in a hug, too. I let her go
AMELIA'S POVI don't know for how long I sat by Xavier's grave. However, when I came to, it was well into the evening, and the sun was long on her journey to set. I turned around and saw my Mum standing behind me. I was stunned. Had she been standing all the while? I flew to my feet and towards her. "Mum!" I exclaimed, unable to conceal my shock.She smiled weakly at me, and I had to catch her from falling. All the standing had made her weak. "Oh mum!" That was all I could say. I held her in my hands and helped her as we began to walk back to the house. There was no one to call for help or support at that moment; the entire grave side was deserted. "Why did you stay back, Mum? You could have gone like the others and thought you were standing too!"She shook her head. "No," Her words were a whisper, yet I could still hear them clearly. "I had to stay back and watch over you. It's my duty.""But now you've worn yourself out waiting!""This pain cannot be compared to the one I felt all
AMELIA'S POVThere was a man standing before me. He had beautiful blue eyes and beautiful brown hair. I knew his name; I knew him, but I couldn't remember or bring myself to remember. My body felt too heavy for me, and I couldn't process my environment or what had happened to me.This man with blue eyes carried me to the bathtub and washed my body with warm water. It eased the stinging scratches on my arms, legs and face. Then he carried me to the room, toweled my body dry, and wore a white night dress for me. He was taking care of me. I didn't know who he was, but I felt my body respond to him. As he combed my hair, I placed my hand around his waist, and I felt him tense under my touch. For some reason, I smiled. In one fluid motion, I pushed him to the bed and was lying atop him, pinning him under me with such strength that I couldn't imagine.His blue eyes went wild in shock. I smiled as I covered his mouth with mine. He didn't respond at first, but then I pushed deeper. Teasing h
AMELIA'S POV I woke up to the most pleasant feeling in my belly. Max's arms were around me, the moon was glowing beautifully in the sky with her light coming through the windows of Max's chambers. I laughed to myself. I had my chambers, but I had barely spent time in them since Max and I got married. Why did we even have separate rooms in the first place when we were two people who couldn't take their hands off one another?I sighed contentedly. Max was beside me; Max was mine. I rolled to my side to stare at him. His perfect features—from the perfectly sculpted nose to those cheekbones and that pretty and super kissable mouth—damn! My mind wandered to the places those mouths had kissed on my body in the last few hours, and I had to chase the thoughts out of my mind. No, Max and I had fooled around enough for that day. I mean, we'd spent all of the previous night and all of that day in bed and other places doing interesting things with one another's bodies. It was like the honeymoo
AMELIA'S POVIt was almost insane how I remembered the route to the Doctor's house. Yet somehow I did. That's one thing with the wolf's mind, it was intelligent. Before I could transform, I thought I was intelligent, but now after being able to transform, I realized that I was even more intelligent.The transformation had unlocked my supernatural werewolf abilities even more. I had a heightened sense of hearing, seeing, and smelling. Then, there was the accelerated healing because the scratches and what little injuries I'd obtained from my tussle with May Blackwater were all gone. Then there was the speed. I couldn't believe the neck breaking speed I'd moved lately.I had to admit, it was nice. I felt very invincible and powerful. I felt like I could take on anything and anyone. It made me realize why I'd earned looks of pity from my family when they'd realized that I couldn't transform. I'd been living below potential that time.The possibilities as a werewolf who could transform wer
