#Chapter41

We had packed up the majority of downstairs. I decided to start on his office 15 minutes ago and all I've managed to do is stand frozen in the doorway. I took a deep breath then slowly stepped into the room. I went straight to the desk, I walked around it and took a seat on the black leather chair.

I breathed heavily as I examined the room. It was gorgeous. All pieces of furniture were made up of wood, apart from the chair I was currently sat in and the little two-seater sofa on the right wall. The left wall had a tall oak filing cabinet, with a small wooden bookcase next to it. The desk was copper-coloured with black trim around the edge. The office was spotless, everywhere had a home with nothing out of place.

I grazed my fingers against a small stack of books on the desk. I began opening the drawers seeing what was inside. I open the last drawer and saw a book, hiding half under countless files. I smiled to myself as I picked the book up.

    #Chapter42After I left Lucas and Elijah at the packhouse, I met Ria at my house. I'm cooking us both food before we settle down with movies and wine. "You know, I have missed your cooking," Ria said as she sniffed the air. I laughed and turned to face her while she was sat at the kitchen island. "Drew not feeding you?" I chuckled. "Oh, he feeds me plenty." She smirked. My eyes went wide at her and I dropped the spoon I had in my hand on the counter. "Oh my god, I did not need to hear about any of that." I shrieked. I picked the spoon up and chucked it into the sink. "What... Sex?" She asked, casually. "Oh my god, Ria." I yelped, shaking my head.  "Have you not-?" She started to speak, "No." I blurted out, glaring at her. She stood up and came to me. "Amaris." She soothed, I shook my head and glanced at the cooker. "I don't want to talk about it," I said through gritted teeth. She turned my head back to her and took a deep breath. "We don't have to, don't worry." She comforted me,

    #Chapter43Rhydian stood at the top of the stairs, running his hand through his hair. All he had was shorts on, which were hanging off him loosely, showcasing his prominent V line. His abs were distracting me, I couldn't peel my eyes from him. So, I definitely didn't think this through. "Amaris, what's wrong?" He asked, huskily. I blinked a few times, watching him descend down the stairs. Every step he made, my eyes moved with him. Admiring his whole body. I could hear Ria sniggering behind me, I whipped my head around and scowled at her. "You." I pointed at him, "You need to make Ria your Gamma," I huffed. He raised his brow at me, his lips curled into an amused smile. "You woke everyone up to demand Ria becomes the Gamma?" He asked. I nodded my head, "Yes." I stated, "And you'll give her it." I declared. He chuckled then looked behind me, I turned my head and Ria was glaring at me. "Sorry, Alpha. The wine has gone to her head." She bowed her head, apologising. "Fuck off, I'm

    #Chapter44I woke up with my head pounding and my mouth drier than a desert. I groaned and blinked a few times. I glanced beside me and Ria was sleeping peacefully next to me. I groaned, lifting the blanket over my head. After last night I am never setting foot outside again, I'm too embarrassed and ashamed. Rhydian pretty much kicked me out last night.'He will have known you were turned on.' Aurora chuckled. 'Maybe you need to speak to someone that has had sex.' I groaned and tried pushing her away, 'Amaris, when it comes to sex... we are both a little clueless. I can't give you any advice or anything.' She fought against the barrier. 'I know... Please don't say that word.' I cringed. It's not the actual word I don't like, it's the memories that are involved with it. It's almost like the word is a trigger for images to flash through my mind. The memories are tattooed into my brain and no matter what they don't leave. "Someone is grumpy this morning." Ria chuckled. I peered ou

    #Chapter45I picked up the steaming mug of coffee that was on the kitchen island. Ria had gone for a shower before we head to the packhouse.  I'm a little nervous to see Rhydian since I can't control whatever is happening down there. I took my phone out of my pocket and pulled up the internet. I guess some research wouldn't hurt. Why do I tingle down there about a man?That should give me some sort of answer. I scrolled through the links, I had no idea what to click on. I clicked on a random link and my eyes went wide. Goddess, all this is new. 'We'll be going into heat soon. We're due for it.' Aurora warned.  I groaned and dropped my head down, resting it on the kitchen island. She-wolves go through heat twice a year. I first went through heat at 16, it wasn't as painful as I expected, I mean it hurts, but compared to some she-wolves mine is very mild. I was told that it could have been because of my wolf.The only time a she-wolf can get pregnant is through heat, otherwise, th

Cory exclaimed, holding my hand a little tighter. "Stay out of this, kid." Selena rolled her eyes. I chuckled and picked Cory up. "I'm not arguing with you and I'm certainly not letting you get to me." I took ahold of the handle again and turned my head towards Selena, "I'll be sure to tell my mate you said hi." I winked before pulling the door open. The hall was silent, all eyes were on me. I strolled into the hall with my head held high. "Good morning, Alpha." A pack member smiled at me. "She's Amaris." Cory pointed out, scrunching his nose. I chuckled and nodded, "Indeed I am." He chuckled and wrapped his finger around a loose strand of my hair. "Who is your mate?" He asked, twirling his finger in my hair. I stopped walking and glanced at him. "Can you keep a secret?" I whispered. "I'm not allowed t

    #Chapter47We spent the rest of breakfast chatting with everyone. The things I have been feeling were creeping up on me but before they started to get worse, I focused on anything else. I found there were 25 apples in the basket on the table and I lost count on how many members were in here. After we had finished eating, a man entered the hall. He was scanning his eyes around the hall, he stopped when his eyes landed on Cory who was sat playing with Rhydian. His eyes lit up and he smiled at us. As he got closer to us, I recognised him. He stopped walking and stared at me. "Amaris?" He questioned, shocked. I nodded and chuckled. "I didn't know you were back." He gasped. I stood up and went over to him, "How did you not know?" I laughed, "I've been back for a while now. I came back for the funeral." I muttered. He smiled sadly at me. "It's good to see you. You look really good." He announced. "You too, Drake." I smiled. Drake was in our friend group in school, we were all close. H

    #Chapter48*SEXUAL ABUSE WARNING.*This is a warning for sexual abuse, it's not descriptive but it could be a trigger. If you aren't comfortable reading this kind of thing, please don't read this Chapter. There will be slight hints in the next Chapter as to what happened to Amaris.Rhydian's POV. I sat staring at the envelope. I shakily picked it up, holding it tightly. I don't know if I can open this, what if she's leaving? What if she doesn't want me? My reaction to her being called Luna wasn't exactly my best moment. But, if she had given me a second to explain myself, she would have known why I reacted like that. It wasn't because she was referred to as my Luna, it was because someone else knew we were mates. I was surprised she had told someone.All I want to do is howl it from the highest point in the forest, claim her as my mate and let the world know. But, I know it's hard for her and I'm willing to go at any pace she needs, as long as the outcome is her by my side. 'Ju

    #Chapter49It's been 3 hours since I put my heart on the line. 3 hours since I heard Rhydian's pain-filled growl echo throughout the forest. I've looked everywhere for him but it's like he's vanished. I know I said I'd wait for him to decide but there's nothing I hate more than the unknown. I want to know how he's feeling, what he wants to do. I just want to see him. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. "Don't worry, Amaris. He'll come back with his tail between his legs." Ezra chuckled. I ignored him and stared forward. "What happened? Did you argue?" Lucas questioned, staring at the broken desk. I felt bad, he'd destroyed his office because of me. "He knows about Noah." I deadpanned, not taking my eyes off the wall in front of me. Lucas gasped and rushed over to me. He sat next to me and grabbed my face, forcing me to look at him. "How did he take it?" He asked, nervously. I glared at him, "Well, he's not here if he?" I questioned, well more like stated. "He's probably

    #Chapter303WHEREVER YOU GO, I GO“So, we’re going to live in the palace forever?” Callie asked.Brody glanced at me with his brow raised. We haven’t discussed what’s going to happen. I still want to be part of the royal guard, but now I have someone else to think about.What does Brody want to do with his life? Would he be happy staying in the palace? There are all these little things we’re going to have to deal with.Until the threat to my life, well all our lives are dealt with, the best place for us is the palace. But after that, I need to think about Brody and Callie, not just myself.“I don’t know about the future, but yes, for now, we’re staying at the palace.” I answered. “Is that okay with you both?”“I like the palace. I like my bedroom. I like your family. I want to stay.” Callie answered.I smiled at her and nodded. “I’m glad you like it here.”I glanced to Brody, he seemed deep in thought. He smiled sweetly at me and took hold of my hand and Callie’s.“Wherev

    #Chapter302LITTLE DETAILSI have no idea how I’m feeling right now, there are so many thoughts running through my mind.I’m confused why I’ve got a mate and a beloved. I know we have a family history of having two... Nanna Ayla had two mates, but they think that was because of the prophecy, and Grandad Leon was always supposed to be her true mate, but never in my wildest dreams would I have expected me to have a mate and a beloved.I’m happy, elated, absolutely over the moon at the fact Brody is my beloved. He’s everything I wanted in a beloved. He’s thoughtful, caring, and a decent being. I’m certainly lucky to have been blessed to spend my life with him.But I’m also worried. No, I’m absolutely petrified. When Luca finds out I’m also destined for someone else, I don’t even want to think about what he’d do.

    #Chapter301HIS SCENT“So, you and Brody?” Olivia smirked as she placed some pieces of fruit in five bowls.“I know that face, Liv. There is nothing going on.” I groaned, “we’re just friends.”“Friends definitely don’t look at each other the way you two do.” She snickered.Olivia placed the knife onto the kitchen island and looked at me with a serious expression. She leaned against the kitchen island, resting her chin on the palm of her hand.“In all seriousness, how are you doing now you’re back?” She asked.I took a deep breath, then smiled at Olivia.“I’m glad to be back.” I sighed, “really glad to be back”.”“We’re glad to have you back,” she smiled sweetly. “Are you going with Brody when he gets his scent back?”I nodded and pushed away from the kitchen island. “He’s nervous about it, so I want to be there for him.”"You just want to know what he smells like." Allie quipped.She’s not wrong. I am intrigued to know what his scent is like. When I

    #Chapter300WISHFUL THINKINGI halted in the doorway and frowned. My eyes darted around my dad’s office. My dad was sitting behind his desk with his arms crossed over his chest, with Mum perched on a chair beside him holding his arm. Coby and Ryder were standing by Uncle Elias and Uncle Levi in deep conversation. Grandad Leon and Nanna Ayla were behind Mum and each had their hands on her shoulder."No matter what they have to tell us, I’m here, we go through this together." Allie promised. ”We’re stronger than the rogues."They all looked to me with hints of anger and worry all over their faces.“So, what’s wrong?” I questioned as I moved further into the office, and Brody closed the door behind us.“You might want to sit down, sweetheart.” Dad instructed, pointing to the sofas on the other side of the room.I led Brody towards the sofas and made sure he was sat next to me. I’m going to need him close if I’m going to get through this. Mum and Dad joined us, sitting

    #Chapter299THE PLACE IS A MAZE“Lila, sweetheart, wake up.”My eyes shot open, and I stared blankly ahead at Brody’s chest; we must have fallen asleep. It took me a few seconds to register, it was my mum’s voice. I peered over my shoulder. My mum was standing beside my bed, awkwardly shuffling side to side on her feet.I sat slowly to try and not wake Brody, and turned completely to Mum.“Everything okay?” I asked.“I’m sorry, Lo.” She sighed, “I didn’t want to enter your room without your permission, but it’s important, baby.”“Sure. What’s wrong?” I asked.She shook her head and took a deep breath.“Dad is waiting for us in his office.”I raised my brow, then nodded.“Okay, give me a minute,” I sighed.I leaned forward and grabbed the comforter from the bottom of the bed and pulled it over Brody.“Brody should probably hear this as well.” She mumbled.“Meet you at Dad’s office then?” I suggested.Mum nodded her head and took a deep breath

    #Chapter298A LITTLE NEEDYCallie was over the moon with her bedroom, the smile never left her face. When I showed Brody his room, she didn’t want to come, she wanted to stay in her bedroom and play with her new toys. I didn’t blame her though, she had plenty to choose from, my parents definitely spoiled her.I left Brody to settle in his room, get a shower or whatever he wanted to do. I showed him which room mine was, and that if he or Callie needed me, they could come to my room.I stood in the middle of my room and dragged in a shaky breath. The last time I was in here, I was with Olivia when we were getting ready for my birthday party. I was starting to feel overwhelmed and anxious. Being alone in the room gave me a weird feeling. I need to not think about before and anything that happened. If I think too much, I may just be heading for a mental breakdown."Can we talk?" Brody’s voice filled my mind, and the little anxiety I was beginning to feel about being alone sl

    #Chapter297STUPID SOUNDPROOF ROOMSI introduced Callie to the boys after getting the sweetest hello from them. They definitely missed me as much as I missed them. All four of them clung to me for ages. But the meeting between Callie and the boys was cute and warmed my heart. They were certainly excited to meet her. They got on really well, and I knew they would do.We spent time playing in the playroom while Brody was with my dad. I was glad I was with them, because it took my mind off my dad and Brody; it kept me occupied enough that my mind wasn’t constantly thinking about what is being said. I know Brody won’t tell them anything about what happened to me, but part of me wishes he did, because then I wouldn’t have to. Although Brody doesn’t know everything, I mean, he gets the gist of it, but he wasn’t always there."I’ll be there when you tell them. I’ve got your back." Allie cooed."I’m so lucky to have you."When Brody came to the playroom, I heard him and Corbo

Alora is special, nothing like what they said hybrids were. I had to get her out of there.” I answered.A broad smile appeared on King Alarix’s face as he nodded and sat back with his arms folded.“The guy that pulled her away, who is he?” Corbon asked.I furrowed my brows. “I wasn’t there, so I don’t know what happened, but I assume you’re talking about Luca.” I replied.“And who is this Luca?" Corbon growled.“He’s a wolf, but I don’t know much about him. I can’t tell you anything else though, it’s not my place to say.” I sighed.“The hell you can’t.” Corbon growled. “Tell me about him.”“That’s enough, Corbon.” King Alarix

    #Chapter295WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOUBrody’s POV.I followed King Alarix through the palace. It was huge, I don’t think I have ever seen something so grand. When I think of palaces, I imagine old fashion colour schemes, but this isn’t anything like it. The palace is modern and open planned, lots of space.“Just around this corner.” King Alarix mentioned over his shoulder.I nodded and smiled at him. My mind kept going back to the reunion between Alora and her family. Everything we went through getting out of that place, seeing them all together, was so worth it. I don’t think I have ever seen a mum and dad fawn so much over their children. It was heartwarming to witness.My dad died when I was young, so I don’t remember anything about him. Callie’s dad tried, but my mother wasn’t very maternal, so she complained whenever he showed Callie an ounce of love and affection.Our children need to grow up to be leaders, do not make them weak.Showing love and affection does
