Amelia's Pov Springing into action, Greg immediately carried Andrew's body as he ran towards the pack clinic.The town was immediately thrown into chaos. Everyone was filled with confusion.This was the first time Andrew would slump due to a minor injury. He had engaged in tough battles and had never been beaten. It was strange to everyone. I stood at the scene confused, when Tessa suddenly showed up, grabbing my hands as we ran towards my quarters.We finally arrived and Tessa shut the door forcefully behind me."You need to leave now." "I can help you with that." She said hurriedly, panic was written all over her face."But why? I don't have anywhere else to go and why will I just leave when no one is after me.""If you love your life you'll leave now." She whispered."What's going on?" I asked as she led me through a back door I hadn't noticed was in the room."Do you think the members of this pack are happy with your presence? Before your arrival, Peter accepted his fate and st
Amelia's PovAs I stood in fear, something strange happened. The leader of the group started laughing, and the men who had captured me joined in.I couldn't believe what was happening. I had been taken to see their leader, expecting some kind of explanation or reassurance. Instead, he burst into laughter when he saw me, his teeth glinting in the firelight as my face grew hot with embarrassment and confusion."What's so funny?" I demanded, feeling both angry and afraid while trying to look bold.But the leader just continued to laugh, shaking his head in amusement. "You don't even know what you've gotten yourself into," he said finally, still chuckling. "You've finally gotten into my arms. If only you knew. Leaving Chris's pack for Andrew's? You're one funny girl." He added, confusing me.I felt a cold knot of dread form in my stomach. How could he possibly know about my personal life? And why did he seem to take pleasure in mocking me?Before I could say anything else, the leader s
Amelia's Pov I woke up in a beautiful strange room with a young female doctor attending to me.Where was I? I wondered as I sat up staring around. My mind went back to the doctor as I gasped in shock, I had passed out earlier and now a doctor was attending to me. I didn't want them to find out I was pregnant, it was an abomination and I would be putting my life and that of my child at risk."Excuse me miss," I immediately said, trying my best to sound calm, "have you discovered anything unusual in my tests?"The lady looked confused and said, "Well, actually, we were just about to check for pregnancy. Is there something you'd like to tell me?"I immediately panicked. "No, no, I'm fine. You don't need to check for that."The doctor looked at me with concern. "Are you sure? We must know your full medical history to provide the best care for you."I knew I had to be careful with my words. "Yes, I'm sure. I've been taking good care of myself, and I don't think there's anything you need
Amelia's Pov I was still shaking with fear as Andrew's grip tightened on my arm as he led me into another room. This one was filled with Derrick and his elders. I could see the fear in their eyes as he approached them."Derrick, you ought to know me now. The least life of my subjects matters. I'm the only one that has the right to do what I want with them. So how dare you kidnap her?" "Please, Andrew," Derrick begged. "We can work something out. You don't have to do this."But Andrew was cold and calculating. He drew his swords and walked towards them. I could barely watch as he sliced through the men with ease, their blood spraying everywhere.When he was finished, only Derrick remained - barely clinging to life. "Please," he gasped, blood gurgling in his throat. "I'll tell you anything you want to know."Andrew leaned in close. "Who hired you to take Amelia?" he demanded. "And why did you want to make her your mistress?"Derrick coughed up blood but managed to speak through the pa
Amelia's Pov Ruby suddenly walked up to me, her eyes full of mischief. "I know you're running away from Lucy and you're pregnant with Alpha Chris' child," she said with a smirk.I was taken aback by her words. How did she know about Lucy and Chris? I tried to compose myself and replied, "I don't know what you're talking about. I've never met Lucy and I'm not pregnant."Ruby chuckled. "Don't try to lie to me, sweetie. I know everything that goes on in this fortress. And trust me, Andrew has his ways of finding out things too."I felt a shiver run down my spine. What did she mean by that? I tried to change the subject. "So, you're Andrew's favorite?" I asked, trying to divert the conversation.Ruby's eyes lit up with pride. "Yes, I am. And he takes good care of me. But you know, he's always looking for something new and exciting. That's why he's interested in you."I felt a knot form in my stomach. Was I just a toy for Andrew to play with? Did he even care about me as a person? Well,
Andrew's Pov As I made my way back to my room, I couldn't shake the feeling of guilt and exhaustion that weighed heavy on me. I knew what I had done was wrong, but I couldn't help myself. The hunger inside me was too great to resist. The hunger to kill.I slumped down on the edge of my bed, feeling the weight of my actions crashing down on me. I had killed them in her presence, and I knew that it would only make things more complicated. But at the same time, I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction, a primal urge that had been sated for the moment. I felt like I had avenged her.I didn't know how long I sat there, lost in my thoughts before I heard a knock at the door. It was Greg, my beta and friend, he could tell immediately that something was wrong."What happened?" he asked, taking a seat beside me on the bed."I killed them," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "In front of her. I couldn't control myself."Greg nodded, his expression understanding. "And now you feel
Amelia's Pov"What has come over you?" Greg asked pulling me out of the room as I burst into tears. It was an embarrassing situation."I'm sorry. I whispered ashamed of myself.What had come over me? I was scared. I sincerely prayed and hoped I wouldn't be killed."Do you think he would kill me?" I whispered as Greg just stared at me. I remembered how Tessa was killed and shuddered."Let's hope for the best. You can go to your room now." He said as I scurried away from his sight.I walked back to my room, my heart pounding in my chest. I couldn't shake the memory of Andrew's glare. He looked like he could devour me if I spent a minute there.I wondered why he was naked, was he being entertained by his women? I immediately felt sad and dejected.As I lay on my bed, I wondered what I had gotten myself into.I shouldn't have gone up to him like that. I should have told Mia I wouldn't be able to serve him. Now look at what I've found myself in.I planned to stay low and avoid trouble, but
Andrew's Pov I decided to take Greg's advice to perform a ritual, confirming if Amelia was truly my mate. Greg is a traditionalist and grew up with his great-grandmother who was a servant to the moon goddess, so he knew a lot about rituals and sacrifices. He said it would help confirm if Amelia was my mate.I was skeptical at first, but I couldn't deny the strong pull I felt toward Amelia. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. I had to know for sure if she was the one for me.So, we gathered in the woods outside of the pack's territory, where Greg performed the ritual. It was intense and involved a lot of chanting and offerings to the moon goddess. I watched as Greg made the necessary sacrifices, and as he did, I felt a surge of power course through me.I had sent for Amelia and as she came with the guard, I saw a bright aura surrounding her."What are we doing here?" She asked almost In a whisper."This is a punishment for your scandalous behavior," I said as I saw a h
Chris POV"Why don't we kill him?" I shot him a stare, my eyes filled with a mixture of fear and defiance."Take this," he said, handing Dove the bag, while I whimpered, staring at them, my body trembling."You don't want to do this," he said, his voice laced with a threatening undertone, as he walked towards me, and I instinctively moved backward, my heart pounding in my chest."And where do you think you're going?" one of Dove's men asked, his voice dripping with malice and amusement."You talk too much. We need to end you," he said, a cruel grin spreading across his face, as I found myself apologizing profusely, my voice quivering with fear. But then, unexpectedly, they burst into laughter."Got you again," they said, their laughter echoing through the air, as I heaved a sigh of relief, wiping the tears from my eyes."Yeah, you did, and it isn't funny," I said, my voice still shaky, trying to regain my composure."Don't tell me you were crying, bro," they said to me, their tone tea
Amelia's Pov "I love you," I said, my voice trembling, as he paused, his expression unreadable."Ermm," I stammered, a nervous laugh escaping me."I said that to calm you down, you know, right?" I continued, gesturing with my hands, but he remained silent, his gaze fixed on me."You love me, don't you?" he finally asked, his tone questioning, as I turned to leave, feeling the weight of embarrassment overwhelming me. I nodded, unable to find the words."I do, I do love you," I managed to say, my emotions impossible to conceal, as a small smile formed on his lips."But what about your mate? You need to work on your feelings," he replied curtly, turning to leave, and I couldn't believe it."What?" I blurted out, looking around the empty hallway, my embarrassment intensifying."Did I just confess my feelings and get this as a reply?" I murmured, unable to comprehend what had just transpired."Oh no," I whispered, realizing I had gotten myself into trouble.Facing him again seemed impossi
Andrew's PovI couldn't believe it. How did they catch him? I knew he was quick and resourceful. My heart sank as I watched him being dragged closer and closer to us. I could see the fear in his eyes.Pete walked up to him and sneered. "Looks like we caught ourselves a little spy, your savior," he said. "What do you have to say for yourself, Greg?"Greg didn't answer, but I could see the defiance in his eyes. He was always the stubborn one, never backing down from a challenge. I admired him for that, but I also knew it could be his downfall.I stood frozen in horror as Greg was dragged towards us like a sacrificial goat. His eyes were filled with fear and despair, and I knew that he had suffered greatly at the hands of these monsters.Pete let out a wicked laugh as he signaled for his men to bind Greg to the stake. "Let's start with him," he said, his eyes gleaming with sadistic pleasure.I wanted to rush forward and save him, but I knew it was too late. Greg was already bound, and t
Chris Pov"You two, stop right there." He ordered as we paused in our tracks."Hey, Dove." How're you doing? The man who was sneaking us out earlier said with a huge smile on his face."Do you think we will be caught?" Zeal whispered, staring at me as I shook my head."This place isn't okay for us. Two people have discovered who we are, we need to leave." I said to Zeal who nodded. "We heard that some newbies came into town today." The Dove of a man said coming towards us."Keep your cool." I urged Zeal as Virtue just stared on."We heard you came into town this evening." He said."Yes," I replied."I heard you're tourists." He said as I nodded with a smile, "You heard that right," I said."We hardly have your folks around here. Haven't you heard about us? We hardly entertain strangers." He said as I smiled."I did notice it. Probably didn't do my research well. We leave at dawn." I said as he nodded."It's okay," he said, turning to leave, as I heaved out a sigh of relief when he s
Chris Pov "This isn't right. This isn't right." I yelled, scattering my hair."This is a lie, Lucy wouldn't do this to me." I half yelled, running my hands through my hair. "You need to calm down," Clayton said."Calm down?" "Calm down?" That the girl I harbored in my home as a wife was a snake, calm down?""She destroyed my home, my pack, my family and you're telling me to calm down.""I don't even know who to trust." I spat as I went back to Jack who was struggling for his life."Who are her accomplices?" "Just Elias and I.""What about Dave? Who is he to her?" I asked again."He's just her toy, she uses him to satisfy her sexual urge." He said as I shuddered."Come with me," I said as Mr. Clayton hopped into the car."Where are we headed?" Clayton asked."To my pack house."The anger within me consumed every fiber of my being as I sped down the road toward the pack house. My grip on the steering wheel tightened, my knuckles turning white, as my foot pressed firmly on the accel
Chris Pov Lucy has always looked suspicious, but I didn't want to ever distrust my mate and not think that she was a murderer. I couldn't believe it."You also suspected her, right?" Detective Clayton asked."We had a little argument last night and I just said it, but I never knew it. The Luna of this great pack was a murderer?" "Was that why she was persuading me to drop that case and telling me it wasn't a murder case, but a suicide." I shuddered."So what are you going to do about it now?" He asked, but I was sincerely at a loss. I don't know for real.I was still in shock, it had washed over me like a tidal wave, threatening to drown me in its relentless grip. My fists clenched, and I felt the anger boiling within me, threatening to consume every ounce of rationality."And it appears she's been involved in more than just one murder." He said as I shuddered.My heart was pounding in my chest as a surge of emotions surged through me. I fought to control the anger that threatened
Andrew's Pov"We've been surrounded" I heard him yell as the realization dawned on me.The realization hit me hard that the boy standing beside Chris all this while was one of Lucy's rogues, and he had just betrayed us.Panic ensued as chaos erupted in the camp. The others had quickly turned their attention to the sudden attack. I searched for Chris and spotted him as he struggled to stay conscious, clutching his bleeding stomach.It was the full moon and I wasn't ready for all this unfolding drama, I was driven by anger and protectiveness and I swiftly fought back against them.I was filled with rage as I unleashed my power, displaying my dominance over them, but we were already caught off guard, and the battle was fierce.This wasn't what I was expecting as I looked around me in confusion.Everyone was busy fighting for their lives, I knew we had a great journey before us and we needed our strength for it.I turned to get a few men by my side, Marcus was one of them."You will hav
Amelia's POV"What did you just do?" a voice said behind me as I gasped, covering my lips with my hand."I swear, it wasn't intentional," I said in fear, wondering what had come over me."We need to tell the leader.""This is punishable by death," different voices said behind me when I spotted Greg and Zoey coming toward me."What's it? What happened?" Zoey asked, taking me into a warm embrace."I don't know," I said with fear, my voice quivering."I don't know what has come over me. She was taunting me, and I got angry and pushed her," I said, and Andrew ran to me."Are you okay?" he asked with care as I shuddered."I don't know what came over me, but I hope she isn't dead," I said with fear, my hand paced across my stomach."Send for the pack doctor," he said as he turned to Ruby's minions."What's going on? What happened?" he asked as they immediately pointed at me accusingly."She pushed her," one said."Why?""Alpha?""I said, why did she push her?" he asked again, marching towar
Chris's Pov"Isn't that fur?" The voice said as I turned around to look at Dove."Why would you bring a cat in here?" He asked one of his men as I heaved a sigh of relief."Congratulations. You passed the test." The chief said as I turned with a small smile."Welcome to town.""So we'll take our leave now." The hunter said as we turned to leave."Not so fast." Dove suddenly called out."Why?" I asked."We need to test the little girl too." He said as we all turned to Virtue."How're you?" Playing with her hair, he asked."I'm fine.""Okay, what are you doing here?" But she didn't say a word as she just stared at him."Who are they to you? Your parents?" He asked again as she just shook her head."Well, what's going on here?""Where are your parents?" He asked again."Dead." She whispered."Sad, sorry for your loss, who killed them?" He probed, desperately hoping she would call our names, but she was just calm staring at him."I thought you said she was your daughter? Was she kidnapped
