2023-03-17 23:40:11Jax could see that Amelia was in shock. He guessed that she had never seen a wolf before. He had often patrolled this part of the woods but had never come across her.
Her scent instantly overtook his senses. There was something about her that made him want to protect her.
He was hesitant to come closer to her, worried that she too would bolt into the woods, sensing her fear as she shook behind the oak tree.
“I mean you no harm,” he said as he lay down, trying to look less menacing, noticing the slight ease in her body language.
“What do you want? Are you going to kill me?” Amelia sniffed. Her mind ran a million miles a second.
“I sensed that you were in danger and came to save you.” Jax wracked his brain with things to say to put her at ease. But nothing came to mind.
He knew that the only way to make her feel more at ease was to change back into his human form.
Jax crawled behind the bushes and transformed into his human form. Stepping back into the clearing he noticed that his human form had indeed helped the situation.
He could see that Amelia had been bitten on the shoulder and needed to assess the damage. A wolf’s bite could be deadly for a human, even more so changing them into a wolf.
“May I come closer?” He asked as calmly and friendly as he could. “I promise not to hurt you.”
Now seeing him in his human form eased Amelia’s anxiety. He didn’t seem as scary as when he presented himself as a wolf.
“I need to assess your wound… if I may?” Amelia nodded and slowly crept out from where she was hiding. Sensing that he didn’t mean her any harm. Trusting her gut and not her head.
“My name is Jax. Please don’t be afraid of me.” He slowly walked towards her, her scent immediately piquing his interest.
Her beauty struck him as soon as she came out of her hiding place. His heart skipped a beat. He had never seen anyone as striking before. Her bright green eyes filled with fear, even though she let him come closer.
His movements were slow, so as not to frighten her off. His eyes never left hers, his heart softening with each step she took.
“May I take a look at your wound now?” Asked Jax. And Amelia was immediately struck by the kindness in his eyes and voice.
She came closer and turned for him to inspect her wound. The bite was deep, but not fatal. He however knew that it would cause her to turn, something he didn’t want to mention to her. Something that he sensed she had no knowledge of.
“I’m Amelia,” she said as she looked over her wounded shoulder, making eye contact with him once more, noticing the way he looked at her. His brown eyes smoldered. A dimpled smile on his face.
It was then that she got a good look at him. He was extremely handsome, in a rugged sort of way. His hair hung in shaggy curls to his shoulders and he had a well-manicured beard and mustache. He was sexy and she couldn’t help but feel her heart rate rise as his fingers lightly touched where she had been bitten, sending shivers down her spine. What she wouldn’t give to have him touch her forever. She didn’t want the feeling to end. The pull in the pit of her stomach. She closed her eyes for a few seconds to center herself before opening them up to see Jax looking back at her.
“Do you understand what it means to be bitten by a werewolf?” asked Jax, gently prying her knowledge of wolves and the severe situation that she found herself in. He could see by the look in her eyes that she was still in shock from the whole ordeal.
“No, I don’t,” blushed Amelia, feeling extremely out of her depth regarding her lack of knowledge. She didn’t even know that werewolves existed let alone what would happen if she was bitten by one. It isn’t as if it was a subject taught at school or something easily spoken about at the dinner table.
“I need to take you back to my pack in order for you to be healed,” said Jax, hoping not to frighten her even more. Dying to reach for her hand and feel it in his own.
“Can’t I just go to a normal doctor to get it looked at?” Inquired Amelia, hoping that it was similar to a dog bite, but knowing that it was indeed very far off from being a regular dog bite.
“No, werewolf bites don’t work that way. Being bitten by one means that your entire life as you know it has changed. You can never go back and live in the human world. You will now be part of our pack, should our Alpha allow it, and you will soon go through the transition of becoming one yourself.”
The severity of her situation hit home and her eyes became the size of saucers. She vaguely remembered hearing tales of werewolf bites before, thinking back, knowing that there was a slight chance of turning, but never really believed any of the old folk tales.
“What do I do now?” Jax’s heart broke seeing the anguish in her eyes. He knew that he had to convince her to follow him, but feared that she wouldn’t agree. He wouldn’t know what to do if she refused his help and ran back to hide in her human world.
“Please believe me when I say that the only way for you to heal is to follow me back to my pack. We have Salutaries who can help you. I will explain everything on the way there. You are no longer safe in the human world. You are now one of us, something that cannot be changed.” Jax held out his hand and hoped that Amelia would take it. His mind tried to speak to hers, willing her along.
To her own astonishment, Amelia agreed to follow him, so she took hold of his outstretched hand and let him lead the way. She knew deep within her that it was the right thing to do. He seemed to have a spell over her. She felt safe with him as his chocolate brown eyes melted away all of her fears. It also didn’t help that he was drop-dead gorgeous.
“I’m scared,” whispered Amelia with a pained face, still looking at Jax’s dark chocolate eyes, as a tear rolled down her cheek and his heart melted. He would have given anything to have taken her in his strong, muscular, tanned arms and hold her until she no longer shook, was no longer filled with angst.
“I promise not to leave your side,” said Jax as he carefully slid his arm around her waist and turned to walk with her back into the woods. He knew that she was wracked with fear. He could feel her trembling. If only he knew that her trembling was not only caused by her situation but by being so close to him. His hand was on the small of her back and it felt so natural. Jax had no time to linger on how good it felt to have his hand touching her. He knew that she needed help. And fast.

Jax loved the warm feeling of Amelia’s body next to his he could almost hear her heartbeat. He felt that he needed to protect her and, even though he had to, didn’t want to leave her side. He knew immediately that she had stolen his heart, much to his surprise. A woman had never had such an effect on him. But he knew deep down inside that Amelia was different from any other woman he’d ever met. She was special… more.He’d always been a ‘lone wolf’ never dating anyone in the pack and batted off their advances, almost embarrassed for them to have tried to win his favor. He always kept to himself when it came to gatherings where the women were involved because he felt it was safer that way. The only way not to get hurt. But being with Amelia felt different. He felt drawn to her. As if their souls were connected. He couldn’t for the life of him understand what was happening to him, but he felt like a giddy little pup. Having his first girl crush. Longing to see her and smiling like a fool

The Salutaries were hard at work trying to help Amelia. Swift hands cleaned her wound and assessed her situation, often whispering to one another. They mainly worked in silence as Amelia winced now and then, trying to hide the pain, sometimes failing miserably. She felt the poison as it spread into her bloodstream. It burnt like fire but for some reason, it gave her a sense of power. Something she had never felt before but liked, much to her surprise. Even though she still hadn’t accepted what had happened to her.Amelia felt out of place being surrounded by so many strangers. But sat as still as she could while they assisted her. She held her hands tightly in her lap. Trying to hide the extreme pain that she is in, she hung her head and prayed that this was all a nightmare from which she would soon wake up. A nightmare that she felt would never end. One she wouldn’t wish on her worst enemy.“Amelia?” inquired a soft familiar voice. “Is it you? Are my eyes deceiving me?”Amelia turned

Amelia felt apprehensive as she left the confines of the Salutary cabin, knowing that all eyes would be on her once more, she dread the thought. She knew that she’d hate every second of it. She’d always been such a private person but would now be paraded around in front of strangers. Feeling like the outsider made her heart pound even faster than when she first met Jax and Blake. If only she knew that Jax could hear her heart pounding as he led her outside. Having Jax by her side made her more at ease. Walking through the compound still had her nerves on end, not fully knowing what to expect. She already noticed some dirty looks from the other female pack members. Jax took it upon himself to show Amelia around the compound, even though her mother had offered to do so. She was glad that Jax was doing it as that would hold much more clout when it came to respect from others. Jax pointed out where the Omegas without parents lived, which looked like a boarding house building. The cabin

Amelia met her mother back at their cabin, and Jax accompanied her all the way. He would never leave her alone to the wolves, no pun intended. They made small talk as they walked back, Jax asked her why she was in the clearing that day. And she explained her weekly routine of going down to the stream to ‘speak’ with her mother. Hoping against all hope that she would find her there alive. There was an air of sadness on both of their behalf as they reached her mother’s cabin. Neither wanted to leave the other’s side. Their bond was already so strong. It honestly frightened them both. The one not knowing what the other felt. Both were too afraid to say anything about it. They secretly kept their feelings to themselves. Lucia’s cabin was the perfect size for the two of them. It held two bedrooms, a living area, a kitchen, and a bathroom. They needed nothing more for most of their time would be spent either training, in the dining hall, or in the human world. Something that Lucia could no

Her almond-colored tanned skin shimmered and her striking green eyes seemed to glow brighter than usual. Another change thanks to the rogue’s bite. A change that she actually liked for she had always wanted her skin to look tanned and not pasty white like she thought it did. She tied her roman sandals and smoothed her dress down, readying herself to leave the cabin and face the pack’s watchful eyes, alone. She had neither Jax nor her mother by her side and the hall was quite a walk from her cabin. Amelia took a deep breath to steady herself and applied her lipgloss. She checked her long dark hair as it hung halfway down her back, everything had to be perfect. This was her first impression on the pack and she wanted it to be a good one. “You can do this!” she said to herself, but she knew that it would take all the strength she had to walk past the strangers without looking afraid or uncomfortable. She hated being the ‘new girl’. She mustered up the courage and bravely opened the doo

Amelia realized that she had so much to learn about pack law and felt rather ashamed at what she’d done. The last thing that she would want was to anger the Alpha. He had been so kind to her and allowed her to stay in the compound in the first place. As she walked around the crowd she seemed to seek Jax and Blake out. She couldn’t help herself. She easily picked up their cinnamon and sandalwood scents, even though there were so many scents in the room. Both elicited feelings within her, feelings she wasn’t yet ready to explore for she didn’t know what they were. They intrigued her. They were each so different yet both had such a profound effect on her. Amelia spent most of the evening with her mother, speaking with the other Salutaries. There luckily happened to be one her age. Her name was Catherine and she was absolutely beautiful. Flawless. And the beauty of it all was that she was blissfully unaware of it. She was quiet and kept mostly to herself, not wanting to be caught up in a

Stephanie didn’t stay with Amelia when Jax walked away. She simply gave Amelia a dirty look and sauntered off to her little click of friends. Swaying her hips as she walked.Amelia could just see from her body language that she was the leader of that click. She spoke to her friends very animatedly. Arms and hands flew in the air, with a lot of head shaking going on. The next thing Amelia heard was her name being mentioned and then the entire click looked back at Amelia laughed and gave her death stares. Amelia just knew that that click would mean trouble and made a mental note of staying as far away from them as possible. Enemies were the last thing that she needed, especially because she was the newbie of the pack.Jax and Stephanie were, in her eyes, an item. If only she’d known. She would never come between Jax and his mate. She’d already been warned by her mother that that was frowned upon by their Alpha and the last thing that Amelia wanted was to piss Blake off. Especially afte

Amelia decided it was time to make a beeline home. The last thing that she needed was a run-in with the ‘it’ girl of the pack. She touched her wound which had begun throbbing. She still couldn’t believe how her life had changed in a matter of just one bite. But it was something that she now had to accept, there was nothing that she could do about it. “I was waiting for you to come over and tell me that you’re leaving,” said Lucia as she smiled, bent forward, and hugged her daughter goodbye, “take another dose of the medicine as soon as you get home. It’s best that you rather get back and go and rest. Tomorrow is another busy day for you here in the pack. Tomorrow you get introduced to the training for the Omega rank that you will join the pack as. It is best that you get to know the other Omegas as soon as possible, that way you can make some friends and better settle into the pack.” Fear overtook Amelia and she began to visibly shake. If only her mother knew what went down between

The first three days of their holiday flew by and it saddened them both. They had, however, done so many excursions and experienced most of what the island had to offer. They’d gone for walks on the beach, shared spa treatments, and bought cocktails on the veranda of the hotel, overlooking the bright blue ocean, a view that they would never get used to as it was like something out of a travel brochure.They’d left their scuba diving until the last day. They wanted it to be the last thing that they remember doing together on their holiday. Something that was high up on Amelia’s bucket list.They boarded their boat and took sail on the beautiful blue ocean. It was so clear that they could see to the bottom sandy bed, where the coral and fish were even more beautiful than they had expected.Amelia sat in the crook of Blake’s arm on the boat, holding his other hand in her lap. She loved being so close to him, smelling his sandalwood scent made her feel safe and calm.The boat stopped at t

Blake searched for Sly in the crowd and found him speaking animatedly with his hunters, excitement on everyone’s face.“Congrats again,” said Blake as he stopped by Sly’s side and shook his hand, “you really deserve the promotion to Second. The way you lead your men is exemplary and I’m really proud of all of the work that you’ve done. Thank you for always giving it your all, it doesn’t go unnoticed. You are one of my strongest fighters and I wouldn’t want anyone else by my side.”“Thank you, my Alpha,” responded Sly, happy that his Alpha had noticed his work ethic and love for his pack.“I will be going on a business trip and I’ll need you to watch over the pack, please. I leave tomorrow morning and I’ll be gone for four days.” Blake was certain that Sly was up for the job, even though he had just been selected as Second.“Of course, my Alpha, I will watch over the pack with great care. I have already selected a 2IC in the hunter’s team, so that is all sorted out for the morning and

Blake was sitting in his office chair looking out of his window, watching the people and cars go by when an idea popped into his head.He needed to take Amelia away somewhere. Somewhere special, but it needed to be a surprise. She was so good at sniffing out surprises that he had to be extra sneaky about it. He would have to disguise it as a business trip stating that he needed her there to take minutes as he would be having many meetings. He only hoped that she would fall for it. All that he wanted was to spend some alone time with her. Without the entire pack watching their every move.Blake called their travel agent. “Hi, Celeste,” he greeted as she answered the phone. “I would like your assistance in booking a trip, please. I need two tickets for The Maldives. It will be for both Amelia Brighton and myself. We will be leaving tomorrow morning if possible please.”Celeste looked online and made the booking for Blake, business class of course. “All set Mr Saint Claire. You leave at

Lucia and her team were finished decorating the hall and, feeling satisfied with the results, she walked to the entrance hall and called Blake in to come and inspect their work.He was blown away by the final product. He had seen it earlier but had not imagined that it would turn out this marvelous. His eyes roved the hall taking in every little detail, every little bit of care that Lucia had put into her work.“Thank you to you and your team, Lucia. You have really ensured that this celebration will be a worthy one and for that, I am extremely grateful.” Blake was one who easily gave out compliments when they were earned. And as far as he was concerned, Lucia had earned hers. She had worked magic with barely enough time and Blake knew that no one else would have been able to achieve what she had.The hall looked like a forest clearing. Lucia had brought in trees, rocks, etc. Everything needed to reenact the scenery needed. She’d done such an amazing job that Blake felt as if he was i

Lucia and her team were feverishly busy with putting together the final arrangements for the special event of naming the new Second.Blake had kept hush-hush about who his selected Beta was. Only the Elders knew, not even Amelia. And he thought it best to keep it that way. He didn’t want it to get out and for everyone to know before the actual reveal.Blake walked around the compound. He had been checking on the training of the Omegas, Deltas, and Betas. Something he loved to do because he wanted to be prepared when he needed to select new Deltas or Betas. He needed to know who was fairing well and who was not. He also liked to be ‘seen’ by his pack. Not just locked up in his cabin, dealing with pack business.Jax used to be one of the trainers and it saddened Blake when he walked around the compound and didn’t see his face. Jax had become such a strong pillar of the pack that things just didn’t seem the same without him and Blake doubted that it ever would.Blake popped into the hall

Amelia walked silently back to the compound with Blake, still shocked over what had just happened.Had she really been kidnapped and then saved? All in the span of a few hours.How did it all happen so fast?Shock kicked in and Amelia began to shake. Blake took hold of her hand and tried his best to calm her down by rubbing his thumb along the back of her hand, but he could feel that he was having little effect as she shook all the way back to the compound.Blake thanked his men for their hard work. Sent some to the Salutaries to be checked out and the others to their cabins to rest.Blake, however, took Amelia straight back to his cabin to try to calm her down.Blake sat her down in the chair and, holding her hands, knelt in front of her.“I thought I’d lost you,” said Blake with a sadness in his eyes that she’d never seen before.“I thought I was going to die. Stephanie has threatened my life so many times that I thought today might just be the day that she got her wish. I shudder t

The car picked Blake and Amelia up and they headed off to the office.Blake looked so handsome in his black suit, black hair, and black eyes. Amelia couldn’t help but want to be in his arms that very moment. She wore a pencil-length black skirt and a lime-green shirt which once again showed off her beautiful eyes.“You look like a knock-out,” commented Blake as she entered the car, “I’m not sure that I want the other men at the office seeing you like this.” He joked and Amelia couldn’t help but giggle. She loved his sense of humor.“I’m not sure that I want the other Secretaries to see you looking so sexy in your tailored suit,” winked Amelia, and Blake’s smile almost reached his ears. They made such an attractive couple that it was sickening.Amelia settled in at her desk and began typing up some contracts when her landline rang. It was the receptionist from downstairs.“Hello, Amelia speaking,” answered Amelia, thinking that it was reception letting her know that a guest had arrived

“Hello, Connor,” greeted Stephanie as she ever so slowly entered his cabin, rubbing herself against him on purpose as she passed him by. She smelt his pheromones heighten and knew that she would have her way that evening. He didn’t stand a chance against her and her deviousness.“You look dead sexy,” said Connor as he eyed her from head to toe and then back up again.“Thank you, I know,” answered Stephanie in the most sultry voice she could muster.“Join me at the table,” said Connor as he made a sweeping movement with his hand and she walked over to the table.Connor joined her after closing the cabin door and trying to pull himself together. He pulled out her chair for her and while standing behind her could see that her dress was backless and along with the smell of her Lavender scent it drove him wild.He gently stroked his fingers over her back as he made his way around to his side of the table. He in turn had given her gooseflesh and it was evident by her peaking breasts. Conno

They drove back to the compound in silence.Amelia sat with her hands next to her legs, holding the seat, not knowing what else to do with her hands. Blake did the same.They were both dumbstruck by what had just happened.Blake’s hand slid over Amelia’s and she didn’t make to pull hers away. They drove home like that, looking at one another every now and then, but not a word spoken.Amelia asked, Just before they reached the compound, “was there even a client?”“No,” answered Blake honestly as he looked at Amelia in a new light. In a way as if to claim her for his own.“Then why did you say there was one?” asked Amelia as she bit her bottom lip.Seeing her do that turned Blake on and he could barely contain himself from kissing her again. “I just wanted an excuse to be alone with you. That’s all. And please don’t bite your lip like that…it does things to me…”His honesty hit home with Amelia and she smiled. “You could have just asked and I would have said yes to spending alone time w
