AMELIA I rubbed my temples and leaned back against the headboard. The maids were rushing around, setting the table for lunch because apparently, I hadn’t eaten since I fainted almost five days ago. Everything was blurry in my memory but I remembered what happened between Tyson and me. He marked me. I had touched that mark the first thing after waking up and made the attempt to jump around only to realize I had zero energy for anything. But I was alive and I had his mark. That was enough. My lips twitched as I refrained from smiling like an idiot in front of the servants. Silently, I decided to pester Tyson about the mark once I was done eating and washing myself. “ Lady Amelia everything— ” Elmira paused as she looked into my eyes which I had just opened. Her brows shot to her forehead. I frowned and slowly blinked. “ Your eyes. ” She murmured. “ What’s wrong with them? ” My voice was hoarse. I touched my cheek, unable to understand her state of shock. I didn’t feel anything
AMELIA“ That’s how Striker and I ended up together. ” Lenora finished her love story with a dreamy sigh.I admired the soft look in her eyes and the genuine smile on her lips. She told me all about her and Striker Skolfodr’s tale of love. I always thought she got everything easily but I was forced to think about her in a different light now.I would have even told her so if Princess Avery was not sitting beside her, silently sipping on her herbal tea. Her eyes never once rose to my face but her presence alone was making me nervous. Although, Tyson told me they were just friends, there was still no mistaking the way she looked at him. If she attempted to get him, I had no doubt, that a mark wouldn’t be able to stop her. Her brother was Tyson’s best friend and the Alpha King of the North. He could get her anything she wanted.“ Tell us about you and Tyson now. ” Lenora demanded, eyeing her son who was sleeping soundly on the bed after declaring us three as his mates.I folded one leg
AMELIA “ I will hurt you, Amelia. ” She said, her back facing me. I pressed my lips together and turned to her silently. That’s what I had been fearing all this time. But it was inevitable. “ If that’s what it will take to get what I want, I will have to hurt you. ” Avery added. “ I was…hoping you wouldn’t be someone like this. I…almost thought you were not. ” I sighed, eyeing her straight spine cladded in an expensive silk blue dress. “ After all you made him go through, do you think I should sit back and watch you destroying him again? ” She said in a low voice and turned around to look at me. Her eyes held the same intensity that made me shiver. I pursed my lips, refusing to answer that question because nothing I said would make me right. “ When do you think it will be enough for him? ” She asked. I lowered my gaze to the chain around her neck. She stared at me, her gaze making my head burn with humiliation. “ Leave him. ” Avery commanded. “ I can’t. ” I blurted without he
AMELIA A gust of wind on the other side of my body grabbed my attention. I looked to my right and yelped. Tyson’s imposing figure was looming over my head. I glanced at the spot where he was standing a few moments ago, sighed, and shifted my focus to him. I had to get used to the unusual things about him. “ What— ” “ How are you feeling? ” He gripped my jaw and tilted my head back to look into my eyes. I batted my lashes, taken back by the question. “ I am feeling fine? ” “ Any strange emotions? ” Tyson stepped closer, sending waves of sharp electric jolts down my back. I shuddered. The familiar spark sensation was back. “ No. ” I said quietly. “ Striker was exaggerating. ” Tyson stroked the side of my chin with his thumb and mumbled to himself. “ What are you talking about? ” I wondered, grabbing his wrist. As I stared into his eyes, I did feel something foreign—subtle relief, strange anxiousness, and suppressed fury. I had no reason to be relieved, anxious, or angry. “
TYSON“ Tyson. ” I could hear someone calling me but my mind was all foggy.“ What are you daydreaming about? ”“ This is new. ”“ He is thinking about Amelia Kingsley. ”“ No. ” I snapped as my face heated again.“ You don’t sound sincere. ” Striker shot me a grin.I gave him a look of disdain. He was lucky that he was standing by the window, far away from me or I would have punched his teeth in.“ Why would I think about her? ” I huffed, throwing my head over the headrest of the couch I was sitting on, inside Dustin’s office.It was not like I had anything to think about her. She didn’t do anything to me when she kissed me all over and said strange words. Why would she think I wanted to hear that? I didn’t. I didn’t really feel hot and my heart didn’t flutter. Those sensations were reserved for girls, right? RIGHT?There was no reason for me to be feeling so odd in my stomach. Something was moving inside my blood, affecting all my organs in extraordinary ways.I must be sick. That’
AMELIA“ Why are you following me? ” Tyson groaned and came to a halt.My face hit his back. I winced, rubbed my nose, and looked up to throw him a glare. But when I found his eyes lowering to my hand that was fisting his shirt, I grinned.“ I want to stay close. ” I gripped his shirt tighter. It was a precautionary measure. He wouldn’t use his vampire speed to run away and hurt me if I was holding onto him.Tyson sighed and faced ahead again. I happily held onto him until he started walking with me hot on his tail.The tips of his ears were still red. And it was so pleasing to the eyes. I suppressed a smirk and fastened my steps to match his stride.“ People might think I am torturing you. ” He said, turning the corner.“ People always have to think something to fill their empty minds. I can’t really do anything about it. ” I nodded quickly.“ What happened to you? ” He mumbled, quickening his pace to make it hard for me to follow him.But he didn’t know how determined I was. I would
AMELIA All he had to do was to reject me and the mark would disappear. “ You must be… ” I swallowed the lump getting stuck in my throat. “ you must be heading for dinner now. You should go. I need to— ” “ I want you to come with me. ” He cut in before I could tell him I had something to do that I suddenly remembered. It was a lousy excuse. I just wanted to go hide in the corner and cry my eyes out. “ Where? ” I breathed. “ You didn’t have dinner yet, I assume so come sit us. ” Tyson said. “ Am I not unwanted there? ” I uttered before I could register the words in my head. Damn. I really needed to sew my mouth after this. I was being a bigger idiot now. I didn’t want to mock him for what happened the last we had ‘dinner together’ “ I shouldn’t have done that. I was just angry because I couldn’t resist you and I took it out on you in the worst way. ” He sighed to my surprise. “ You couldn’t resist me back then either? ” The lump dissolved in an instant. I knew it, but I liked
TYSON “ Col—Colors are so vibrant. ” Another hiccup. “ Why—Why did I never notice this before? ” A snorty laugh. “ The sea is so deep today. ” The voice of the mastermind joined in with a dreamy sigh.“ Do not jump! Dustin said if we jump, we don’t die. We—We suffer. Then we die. ” Amelia giggled. “ That’s—That’s horrible! But I am sure he was lying. ” Nora huffed. “ He—He is a good man. I don’t think he lied. ” Amelia protested, making me roll my eyes. She had a bad judgment. “ Jealous much? ” Dustin smirked. “ At least, Nora knows he is a liar. ” Striker nodded before taking a sip of his whiskey. I shook my head and got up from the couch. The girls that disappeared to have drinks earlier had stumbled into the hall and now their voices could be heard by everyone in the castle. They were too drunk to make sense of things.“ It’s enough for tonight. You need to take Nora to her room. ” I told Striker who nodded and rose to his feet. “ You two don’t let them have fun and then t
Hi Lovelies! I hope you are all well and doing great things in life.

In the end, I would like to tell you a little about the new book. As you all know by now, it's about Aleister and Avery. Their story is going to be a bumpy ride so buckle up and keep in mind that it's a Dark Shifter Romance and not a Fluffy Love. I named their book "Mated to the Enemy Alpha King" and it will be available soon on Goodnovel. Hopefully.

AMELIA ...One and a Half Month Later… Nora told me she would wait for any word from Avery. I was with her on this. Once she looked for Nora, we would do everything to stop Dustin from sending her to the South. He couldn’t force his sister. She was not a pushover and she was not alone. But, our wait remained just that. Avery never called for help. She didn’t look for Tyson or Striker or any of us. After a week, she silently disappeared. We would have never expected her to just go like this, without a word, or without putting up a fight, or without any farewell One day I woke up and Tyson simply told me he got the news from North. Avery was already in the South. That didn’t make sense to me or Nora who was still there with me. Now another month passed after Avery’s sudden disappearance. We waited for a message from her, but the gates of the South were closed, and the magic shield was back. No one could go inside and no one came out. In the first few days, Tyson and Striker threw
AMELIA Things worked out. I didn’t expect them to, but they did. That was the only thought in my mind as I lay in Tyson’s arms, wrapped up in a blanket after several intense rounds of sex. His fingers traced imaginary shapes on my lower back and I enjoyed the feel of his skin over mine, lazy and gentle. At that moment, I decided I should tell him what I didn’t before, “ I was not the only one there. ” “ Hmm? ” He turned to me and pulled me closer to his body. I sighed, inhaling my lingering scent on his neck. I had made peace with the fact that I might never get to inhale his true scent. “ Levian. ” I whispered and sensed his shoulder tensing under my cheek, “ He was there last night. He saved me and Ryder. I don’t know why but he…helped us. If it was not for him, maybe, I wouldn’t have made it. Aleister was sending weird shadow monsters and our people to kill me, Tyson. And when these creatures noticed Ryder…they wanted to hurt him to get to me. ” His hand paused. I waited for
TYSON She must be awake. I concluded and decided to go to her. However, her scent drew close and filled my senses, freezing me on my spot. Was she going to be mad because I made a wrong decision and left her to fight on her own? “ Tyson. ” Her sweet voice fell on my ears, drawing my attention to the door behind me. She stood in the doorway, dressed in a plain light green dress that fell to her ankles. There was no sign of sickness on her face, but a wide smile as she walked to me on hurried steps. “ Lia. ” My heart missed a beat. She stopped in front of me and without caring about the other three people in the room, cupped my cheek in her warm palm. “ Did we manage to get rid of the threat? ” We. My shoulders loosened. We were still ‘we’. I gripped her hand and sat her down to my side. Immediately, she pressed herself to me as if she couldn’t bear to be away. Her injuries had healed, leaving her pale skin smooth and soft. “ You played a big role in this, Amelia. ” Striker st
TYSONI should have expected something to be wrong. Nothing ever went smoothly for me. Lia was unconscious when I arrived at the Eastcairn Citadel. Surprisingly, I only felt her pain when I was inside the walls. From the looks of it, she was not in a severe condition. She just exerted all her energy and fell unconscious. By the time I went to her, Nora and the servants had already transferred her body to her room. Even a healer was done checking up on her and told Nora that she was fine. Now, she slept in her room peacefully. The guests were sent home safely and the castle was cleaned. In a short while, everything looked as new as ever. But, it didn’t put my mind at ease. My wolf was restless, and after a long time, I could feel it. We had marked each other but hadn’t mated and he wouldn’t settle until the deed was done.“ She had Ryder in her arms when I came. Even in that state, no one could take him away from her. She protected him until I came back. ” Nora sighed, recalling t
TYSON “ Where do you think Dustin disappeared to? ” I shook my head and leaned back. Dark Fog extinguished the eternal fire and left me in the dark again. I couldn’t bother to look at Striker, but I knew he was seeing the same thing as me. “ He must be hiding in the corner somewhere. ” Striker snickered, trying to lighten the chilly atmosphere. The bodies that came at us this time were aggressive and fought back. I had a hard time knocking them when I found multiple dead bodies lunging at me, jumping at my back, reaching for my throat, my eyes, my nose and everywhere they could reach. I was swarmed with the bones that clung to me and pushed me to my knees with their weight. That was an odd experience, getting buried under the dead people. I sucked in a few labored breaths. The putrid smell of death filled me, making me dizzy and suffocated. My hands landed on the ground. I could feel the grass clinging to my skin as if it were drawn to me. Gritting my teeth, I let the pent-up
TYSONI felt uneasy. It was not because of Aleister but because my guts told me I shouldn’t have left Amelia alone.But, I couldn’t go to her now. We were already so far. The King of the South had half my Kingdom under his control, and Striker's fire was the only thing that could cut through the veil of Darkness that seemed to be the root of mind control. Nora, Dustin, and I followed him as he let his fire burn through the ground. The quarreling, compelled people started to break out of their daze and came to their senses as soon as they saw the light.We were far from the castle now, and all I heard was silence behind the walls. It was almost like there was a barrier around Eastcairn Citadel that didn’t let any noise leave the place.“ I shouldn’t have listened to you, Dustin. ” I scoffed as we came to a halt in the open field.“ He knows something we don’t. Again. That’s why he insists on walking this way. ” Nora scoffed.She was equally uneasy because she had to leave a sleeping R
AMELIAMy lungs ached as the hands tightened around my throat. I tried to breathe but all I could manage was a broken gasp.Why? The question echoed in my head. Why did I have to die? Why was he trying to kill me?‘ Your existence is meaningless. You are not needed. ’ He answered as if he could hear everything in my head.I am needed—I wanted to shout.My eyes bulged as I failed to breathe. I tried to claw my way out but my arms were pinned. My necklace was torn from my neck. My earrings went next. They tore my dress and ripped my hair. I was too desperate for oxygen to feel pain. Silently, I wondered if Tyson could feel what I was feeling. I wished he couldn’t. I didn’t want him to be hurt because of me. ‘ See for yourself how insignificant you are. ’ His voice whispered in my head.And I saw what he wanted to show me. I saw Mom, and Dad, and Adelia. They were happy without me—Happy and Alive. I saw Avery and Tyson and the rest of their friends, their family—They were complete wit
AMELIAMy neck burned and energy swarmed through my limbs. Ignoring the drilling pain inside my head, I pushed myself to my feet.Tyson rose with me, his hands gripping my arms protectively.“ Lia… ”“ Go… ”“ Have…”Tyson’s lips were moving. He was saying something to me but the occasional ringing in my ears didn’t let me catch onto whatever he was trying to tell me.His eyes were narrowed, his hold tight over my arms.It was like my head was underwater, or something was trying to keep my head under. The pain grew, and so did the burning in my neck. The little energy I had was shared through the mate mark, and it made it harder for the King of the South to get inside my head.I shook my head, trying to break free but it only made me realize how hard it was to move my neck. I was stiff like a board. My mind was not the only thing on the verge of succumbing to the power striking my skull.Suddenly, a huge line of fire swished beside me, cutting through the dark fog. I gasped, and the t
