Amelia’s Pov“She’s in labor? Now?” I asked, rushing toward the entrance of the pack house where Kaiden’s Beta stood, looking frantic. “Yes,” he said. “She’s struggling. We didn’t know who else to bring her to.” “Bring her in,” I said quickly, already heading toward the infirmary. “I’ll do everything I can.” The pregnant she-wolf was carried in by two other pack members. Her face was pale, and she gripped her stomach in pain, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. I knelt beside her as they gently laid her down on the bed. “It’s going to be okay,” I said, my voice calm and steady. “What’s your name?” “Lena,” she managed to whisper. “Lena, listen to me. I have herbs and a potion that will ease the pain and help you through this,” I said, already gathering what I needed. I handed her a cup of the mixture I’d prepared earlier for such emergencies. “Drink this,” I said gently. “It will help you relax.” She nodded weakly, sipping the potion as I laid out the herbs. Once
Amelia’s Pov“I need to make these stronger,” I murmured to myself, mixing herbs and potions on the small table I had set up in my room. The satisfaction of helping others was a feeling I couldn’t get enough of, and I was determined to be prepared for anything. I had already created a series of potions and remedies for various ailments, but I wanted more options, something that could address illnesses I hadn’t encountered yet. As the evening wore on, I capped the final bottle of a new potion and set it aside. Exhausted but content, I stretched and decided to lie down. I had just started to drift off when the faint sound of a baby’s cry broke through the silence. My eyes snapped open, and I sat up, straining to listen. “What was that? Whose baby was that in the middle of the night?” I thought to myself. There it was again, a soft, high-pitched wail that seemed to come from outside. Curiosity and concern tugged at me, and I wrapped a shawl around myself before stepping into t
Kaiden’s Pov“Guess I also have to make my way to the pack's affairs, of course.” I murmured, after being turned down by Amelia. I got up and took my bath, while she left the room. It took hours for me to understand she doesn't need to be in the bathtub for so long to have a clean body, she is a natural. “I wish I had met her long before, then I wouldn't be so miserable with she wolves.” I whispered under my breath. Talking to myself was the best thing I'd say I've learned well since my life on earth. I decided to meet with the traitor in the dungeon, she was long overdue for some punishment. “Why, Stella?” I growled, my voice echoing in the damp, dark dungeon. “Why did you try to poison Amelia?” Stella sat chained to the wall, her once-pristine appearance disheveled and pathetic. She glared up at me, defiance flickering in her bloodshot eyes. “Answer me,” I demanded, stepping closer. When she remained silent, I gestured to one of the guards. The guard handed me a long metal
Kaiden’s Pov“I got an invitation,” I said casually, looking up from the letter in my hand as Amelia stared intensely at me. “An invitation?” she asked, her tone curious as she kept it obvious. I nodded, holding the letter out for her to see. “One of our allies, Alpha Darius, is hosting a party in three days. I’m expected to attend, and I want you to come with me.” Her brows furrowed slightly, and she glanced at the invitation.“What if I don’t want to go? Not like I'm restraining your order…but,” she asked, her voice cautious. “It's not an order, it's an offer, a question, and it's your say.”“Oh!” She whispered, realizing I wasn't trying to hold her to it. I leaned back in my chair, studying her. “Yeah, it’s your choice,” I said, keeping my tone light. “But I’d love for you to come with me.” She hesitated, her lips pressing into a thin line as she handed the letter back to me.“I’ll think about it,” she said simply before leaving the room. I watched her go, a small smil
Amelia’s Pov“Hand me the lavender,” I called out, my voice calm yet firm. The maid beside me immediately reached for the bundle of dried lavender, her hands steady despite the flurry of activity around us. The small room in the pack house had been converted into my makeshift workshop, and it was alive with motion. Ingredients of all kinds, herbs, vials, powders, were scattered across the wooden tables. The maids bustled about, fetching everything I needed with eager efficiency. This wasn’t where I imagined myself when I first came to this pack, but it felt right. Creating remedies and potions was now a second nature to me, and it gave me a sense of purpose.The pack members were warming to me, especially now that news of my work had spread beyond our borders.“Lady Amelia, do you need anything else?” one of the maids asked, her voice breaking through my focus. “No, thank you, but you could help me by resting,” I replied, smiling at her. “You’ve done more than enough.” She beamed
Kaiden’s Pov“She’s different, Justin,” I said, swirling the glass of whiskey in my hand before taking a slow sip. Alpha Justin leaned back in his chair, his piercing blue eyes fixed on me. He came to visit, after I called him about being troubled, and with the conversation I had with Alpha Marcus. “Different how? Because from where I’m sitting, it looks like you’re losing yourself to her.” I sighed, setting the glass down on the table between us. “It’s not like that. Amelia’s been through hell. She’s... cautious. Reserved. And I don’t blame her.” Justin raised an eyebrow. “And you think you can fix that?” “I don’t want to fix her,” I shot back, my voice sharper than I intended. “I want to help her heal. There’s a difference.” For a moment, Justin said nothing, his expression unreadable. Then he leaned forward, his tone softer.“Kaiden, I’ve known you a long time. You don’t fall easily, but when you do, you fall hard. I’m just saying, be careful. Amelia’s past isn’t somethi
Amelia’s Pov“You need to tell me what’s wrong, Kaiden,” I said, watching him pace back and forth in my workshop. Kaiden rarely looked uneasy, but tonight, his usual air of confidence was missing. His jaw was tight, and his hands clenched at his sides as though wrestling with a difficult decision. He stopped and turned to face me, his dark eyes locking onto mine.“There’s something I need to tell you,” he began, his voice low. “A messenger came earlier. The Blood Moon pack... they need you.” I froze, the name alone sending a chill down my spine. The Blood Moon pack. The very name was a stain on my soul, tied to memories I wished I could forget. Kaiden stepped closer, his gaze steady but gentle. “Alpha King Donovan, is dying of a strange illness. They’ve heard about your skills as a healer and believe you’re the only one who can save him.” I stared at him, my heart pounding in my chest. "And you want me to go?” He shook his head almost immediately.“Amelia, this is your choice
Amelia’s POV I stared at my reflection in the mirror, the faint outline of my features hidden beneath the veil I wore.My identity had to remain a secret, no matter what. If anyone in the Blood Moon pack suspected who I really was, everything would be over before it began. “My name doesn’t matter,” I whispered to myself, the words feeling heavier than I expected. “I’ll give them nothing to feel proud of” I knew the weight of this deception, the risk I was taking by stepping foot in this place. Still, my purpose was clear. I wasn’t here to forge alliances or make friends. I was here to find my freedom of the fire that's burning inside me, and to bring justice to those who wronged me. With a deep breath, I turned back to my table of ingredients. I had begun setting up my tools to mix potions and remedies, hoping to distract myself from the storm in my mind. But just as I started to crush dried sage into a powder, the door opened, and Luna Bella’s voice cut through the room.
Amelia’s POV“I have to confront her” I said, “I need to, I can't just let her have her way with this. She needs to know that she's not fooling anyone anymore, this has to stop! People need to come out of her years of deceits” I added, “There's another thing too, the reason she was after your mum was because your mum found out about her secret” Kaiden further spilled.“She and her lover were so openly minded to talksabout all that was happening without a care in the world, just so carefree” he added, “I was able to leave without getting caught was because my scent can't be detected my them” he continued, “My mum knew about her secret? Was that why my aunty said those words before she died? She had told me to be careful and the people who had killed my mom were around me.“She killed my mum because of that, because she knew about her secret? isn't that vile?” I said in an outburst, I was skeptical about all of these. My dad had told me she died from a strange illness but now all finger
Amelia’s POV “Have you had anything to eat?” Kadian asked, looking concerned. Earlier, I had left in a hurry to attend to Freya and her cohorts of friends. She's currently in a state of insanity and the best I could do at the moment was to dismiss her.“Don't lie to me Amelia, you don't even have to answer. I know you haven't had anything to eat, "he added, gesturing to a table filled with all kinds of food. “Kaiden..this is too much, we can't even have all this to ourselves” I exclaimed, “You don't have to worry about that, just come sit and eat” he responded, pulling a chair for me to sit. Such a gentlemanly behavior!“I'm sorry about earlier, I had an outburst and I couldn't control my choice of words” he said, his face all gloomy. I felt bad, it wasn't his fault all of this was happening. I was more than grateful for him even being on my side, for him to save a girl he never knew and for him developing feelings for me after all what had happened to me. Kaiden was the sole reason
AMELIA'S Pov“I thought I could help her..” I sighed, “Don't blame yourself Amelia, it's not your fault. You can't help someone who's not ready” Kaiden encouraged.My mental health has deteriorated ever since I got In love with Freya, she has always been against me yet she wants my help. A part of me wants to help her, and the other seeks revenge. Freya had planned to kill me, and the thought of her even asking me for help after attempting to murder me still puzzles me. She has no other choice than to accept whatever she sees from me, definitely, I wasn't going to take it lightly with her. “Just make sure you're careful around them, Amelia,” Kaiden warned, “I still don't feel comfortable enough with you being around them after they tried to kill you,” he added.I understood his concerns, I had never forgotten about it but I knew I couldn't keep holding grudges against them. I was yet to forgive her for what she did, and certainly I won't be able to forget it.“I understand Kaiden, I
Amelia’s PovI didn't believe Matilda would be so miserable to save Freya. She wasn't even worth everything or anything. And yet, she was pleading like there was something she still needed her for. It all seemed weird with my father staring at me in the eye while I faked who I was. The ease in his eyes and the calmness I'm his voice when I told him I could help Freya… And all I could think of was Matilda's unending please that rang in my ears. "I've been pleading with you, Lady Tatia. Kindly do something" Matilda said, her voice cracking. "Freya is suffering. We don't know what to do, but we know you have the power to help her. Please, you have to save her."My father stood beside her, his face was pale, and his expression was a mix of guilt and helplessness. "I know you could help, and I hope you can help us with that as fast as possible so I can have my daughter back alive again.” And my heart skipped a beat after hearing that, didn't he feel the connection between us? Doesn't h
Amelia’s PovI stood in the doorway, my breath choking me up from my chest as I looked around the familiar house. It felt like nothing had changed, yet everything was so different and distant.The old house, the one I had once called home, was now just a shadow of its former self. The walls, the floors, the rooms, all seemed to carry memories of a time long gone, a time I could never go back to. My heart pounded in my chest as I stepped inside, my father’s voice calling to me from the other room, a sound that felt like a distant echo. I hadn't expected to feel so overwhelmed, so emotional. But seeing him after all these years, seeing him standing there, waiting for me, was too much. I had spent so much of my life trying to forget this place, trying to escape its hold on me. And yet, here I was, back again, facing the very memories I had spent so long running from."Amelia," my father’s voice cracked, his tone full of warmth and concern. I turned toward him, while trying everything
Chapter 76 Amelia's PovI had never expected to see Matilda again, but there she was, standing at the door of the pack house, her face drawn with desperation. I could see the tension in her shoulders, the weight of guilt and fear pressing down on her. I couldn’t help but feel a slight amusement stir inside me as I watched her fidget, clearly nervous and unsure of how to approach me."Lady Tatia," Matilda began, her voice shaky, "I beg of you. Please. You have to help me. My daughter... She's in danger. I don’t know what else to do. You’re the only one who can save her."Her words were desperate, pleading, but I could see the hidden calculation behind them. Matilda had always been a woman driven by her own desires, her own plans, and now, she was hoping I would fall for her act. But I wasn’t the same naive girl I once was. I had learned far too much to be swayed by her manipulations.I crossed my arms, leaning against the doorframe as I eyed her. "Save your daughter? Why would I help
Amelia’s PovThe air in the forest was heavy with the scent of pine and earth as Kaiden and I moved silently between the trees. We had spent the last few days working together on various tasks, trying to gather information and prepare for whatever came next. There was so much uncertainty, but for the first time in a long while, I felt like I was making progress. Kaiden had been a steady presence at my side, helping me with everything from gathering herbs to strategizing how we could expose the truth behind Damien's curse.We spent hours talking about our plans, brainstorming ideas, and trying to make sense of the tangled web of lies that had been woven around us. But today was different. Today, we were out in the forest, collecting herbs that I needed for a potion I was working on. It was something I had been putting off for a while, but now felt like the right time to make it."I never thought I'd be out here in the woods with you, gathering weeds," Kaiden said, his voice light, bu
Amelia's PovThe tension in the air was thick as I walked past Damien without even glancing at him. I had made a decision to ignore him, to shut down whatever feelings I had left. It wasn’t easy, not with everything that had happened between us, but I knew I had to do it. I couldn’t afford to let my emotions get the better of me again. Not now. Not when there was so much at stake.I could feel his eyes on me as I walked away, but I refused to turn around. I had done enough of that, chasing after him, letting him pull me back into his world. I couldn’t keep doing it. I was done.Kaiden, of course, noticed the tension immediately. He had been by my side through all of it, and he knew me better than anyone. He was the one person who could see through the walls I had built, and right now, he could see that something was off. He approached me cautiously, his eyes scanning my face, trying to read me.“You’re giving him the silent treatment, aren’t you?” Kaiden said, his voice soft but lace
Damien's PovI stood in front of Lady Tatia, feeling like a fool. My pride had always been my shield, but today, I had to admit that I was wrong. The words came out slowly, almost painfully. “I... I apologize for the way I treated you. For insulting you. I wasn’t thinking clearly, and I shouldn’t have acted that way.”Lady Tatia didn’t respond immediately. She simply looked at me, her eyes calculating, as if weighing my sincerity. After a long pause, she spoke, her voice calm but firm. “You don’t need to apologize, Damien. You’ve made your choices. But just because you say sorry doesn’t mean everything is forgiven. You can’t escape your destiny.”Her words stung. I had hoped that by apologizing, things would smooth over, that maybe she would see that I was trying to make amends. But she was right, nothing was ever that simple. I couldn’t just erase my mistakes with a few words, especially not with someone like Lady Tatia. She saw through me, knew who I was, and what I had become. “
