AmeliaI wait in the corridor for Maven to let me into my room. This is the one sucky part about our arrangement, but at least I know that I am safe. I have complete faith in Maven that he would never harm me.He rushes up the steps and his step falters when he oooks up and our eyes meet. I nod my head as I say his name in a formal tone, “Maven.”He breathes out as he moves in front of me to open the corridor, “Amelia.”He smells nice, I don’t know if he’s wearing a stronger cologne or what, but I want to lean into him and just breathe in his scent. I refrain from doing that, we’re just friends and even if we weren’t, that would be weird for me to be sniffing him.He opens the door and I walk past him. As I do, he asks, “Is It okay if I join you ton-” His words stop and he stares at me with a scrunched up face as if I’ve done something to disgust him.I look at him with confusion and he asks, “Who have you been around?”“What are you talking about?” I question. He takes a step closer
AmeliaIt’s been a month and things between Maven, and I are still weird and uncomfortable. He has stayed for a movie night only once since he acted all jealous over me.I try not to let it bother me, but it’s hard whenever I have considered him to be one of my closest friends.Lately, I’ve noticed that my wolf seems to be more present than ever before. It’s weird and exhilarating. She doesn’t talk to me much, but she has been wanting me to shift more frequently. I love it, I love the feel of the wind in my fur as we run around. The only confusing thing is now that my wolf is more present, I’ve started to feel more drawn towards Maven. It’s hard since he doesn’t seem to want me around.I walk up to his office to bring him his lunch. He stands up to take it from me and when our hands brush, I feel an electric shock that causes me to gasp. I would’ve dropped the tray if Maven hadn’t already taken it.His eyebrows furrow as he looks at me in confusion and asks, “Are you okay, Amelia?”I
AmeliaWhen I woke up, I was in a room all by myself, except for Henry lying in a cot. I walk over to him as he is crying loudly, and I pick him up and try to calm him down. I look around the bland room, it looks like I’m inside a home that hasn’t been settled in yet. The only thing in here was the cot where Henry laid.There isn’t even a bed in here for me. I pace back and forth with Henry in my arms as I try to settle his cries. The door opens and I turn to see a man that I recognize. He was the rogue wolf that I met when I was leaving the White Fang Pack.His name started with an R… Ryan, no… Robert? No… oh Ross!He smiles at me as he asks, “How do you feel, Amelia?”My eyebrows furrow and I hold Henry close to me as I ask, “What the hell is going on here, Ross?”He holds his hands up as he feigns innocence, “I have no idea what you’re talking about, Amelia, I’m just here to make sure that you’re comfortable.”I give him a deadpanned expression. You don’t kidnap a person for no rea
MavenBennett sits across from me in my office as he flips through a folder that I gave him. I’m having to teach him all about the businesses that we run so that if I’m ever absent, he will be able to keep things running smoothly.The door bursts open and I see Bennett’s mate, Grace, looking frantic as her eyes flicker between us. Bennett stands up, alarmed by her sudden arrival, and he walks toward her pulling her in his arms as he asks, “What’s going on, darling?”She looks at me and says, “I’m so sorry to have disturbed you, Alpha. But Amelia isn’t back with Henry yet. She’s always back home by 6, but it’s 6:15 and I can’t get in contact with her. I’m scared something’s wrong.”Bennett says, “Grace, it’s only been 15 minutes. I’m sure it’s nothing.”Amelia has impeccable timing. Ever since that one time she has never been late unless someone was doing something to force her to be late. My wolf howls inside me, worried that something that has happened to our mate.I rush out of the
AmeliaI don’t know what made the rogues decide that it was time to release us, but I’m grateful with how fast it seemed to happen. Poor little Henry was so uncomfortable and upset because we had run out of things for him.We sit in the back of a van, and I hear someone snap at us, “Get that baby to shut up!”I roll my eyes, it’s not like I’m not trying! But I’m not his mother, I can’t just have milk for him twenty-four seven!They slam the breaks as they bring us to a stop, causing me to fall and hurt my shoulder from trying to prevent Henry from getting hurt. The back door opens, and I see Ross and he grumbles, “Come on.”I hurry to my feet and get out of the van. He brings me near our pack and tells me, “Just keep walking straight and you’ll be across pack lines.”I nod and scurry to move away from him, but he grabs my upper arm and says, “I’ll see you again soon, Amelia.”My face scrunches together in confusion and I face him as I ask, “Why? What do you want with me?”“I know you’
MavenRelief flooded inside me when I saw that Amelia was okay. There wasn’t a scratch on her and although she looked disheveled, she was still gorgeous. I needed her. I needed to hold her in my arms and know that she’s okay.I told her to follow me and listened to her footsteps as I lead her into my room. The moment she closed the door, I couldn’t resist kissing her.When our lips connect my wolf howls loudly inside my head, thrilled that I was finally doing this. She wraps her arms around my waist and my cock is rock hard from that action. She greedily returns my kiss, her hands tugging my hair, and it’s like she has been waiting for me to take this step.The tingles from the mate bond are overpowering and I want to mark her and take her right now, but my only hesitation is I don’t know if she can feel this. I don’t want to mark her without her approval. I can’t help but nip at her neck and she let
AmeliaMaven is my mate.How is that possible?I’m exhausted, all I want is to sleep, and I feel so comfortable with him. My body wants to rest, but my mind is unable to turn off as I’m still trying to process this.I’ve been at the Renegade Pack for months… I only recently started to feel the sparks with him and his scent is addicting. He’s got his arm wrapped around me and his head is nuzzled into my neck. All I can do is bask in his scent.He smells refreshing like peppermint. The scent relaxes me and makes me not feel so tense. What I don’t understand is… if I’ve been his mate this entire time, why didn’t he tell me?Maven mumbles into my neck, “Go to bed, Amelia.”I smile as I whisper, “Okay.”He lifts his head up and looks into my eyes as he says, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you. It’s complicated and we can talk about it later. All that matters now is that I want you… okay?”I nod, “Okay.”He leans down and gives me the softest most loving kiss. After how aggressive he was earlier
Maven I can’t wait to surprise Amelia tonight. Maggie, Sophie, and Grace worked together to come up with the perfect first date and I can’t wait to pamper Amelia tonight. At 3:00 p.m. the girls came to my room and demanded that I leave so they can get Amelia ready. We wouldn’t be going out till 8 tonight, but I knew better than to argue with a bunch of women on a mission. Besides, this will give me an opportunity to do some of the work that I haven’t done yet because I didn’t want to do it around Amelia. The big thing is, I have a few packs I need to call and speak to. There’s something off with my pack and the way the Elders behave. My sorry excuse of a father taught me very little about how to run a pack and as a child he told me to never argue with the Elders and to always do what they told me to do. But my father isn’t around anymore, and I think the Elders are taking advantage of me because I haven’t known anything different. I grab my private cell phone and head to the hidd
