AMELIA “ The King never touched you? ”Chaotic chatter filled the throne room. Voices mingled. Surprise changed into horror, and then an uproar.Dad stood in the middle of it all, watching me and trying to find a way out. But it was done. He couldn’t save himself even if I was proved wrong.“ It’s true. ” The Former King stepped out of the shadows and became the center of attention. “ The girl lied. It’s horrendous to think someone would tell such lies, but it’s the truth. She accused the Prince at that time so her father, Alpha Kingsley could get a high position. ”And you gave it to him. I wanted to scream at him. I might as well do that today. How low could I drop from here anyway? “ Instead of trusting your son or giving him a chance to prove his innocence, you handed General Alpha’s position to Dad to close the issue.” I walked towards the first stair and halted at the edge. “ A King was supposed to look for the truth and make justice prevail but all you did was sweep a crime u
AMELIA One moment it was silent. The next, it was pure mayhem. The Alphas sprung from their spots and charged towards me all at once. Dad looked at me, in shock and confusion before his gaze dropped to the dagger that was stuck in his flesh. His face darkened. He pushed my shoulder back harshly. I dropped to the floor, sucked in a sharp breath, and prepared myself for the consequences. The people coming at me, my father trying to get the dagger out of his chest, and my sister screaming in the background…nothing fazed me. A silly grin etched onto my lips and then became a sinister laugh. Finally, I lost my mind, but I was not alone in this. Death would be a suitable punishment for driving everyone crazy with me. I closed my eyes and surrendered myself to my fate. After a disarray of yells, and growls…silence prevailed. I doubted my hearing ability. Things couldn’t possibly calm down after such a show. My heartbeat thrummed inside my stomach, giving rise to an eerie feeling th
AMELIA“ You heard Lady Adelia. Now you know why Alpha Daniel is held captive. It’s time we stop fighting and trust our King. ” Evan said loudly from behind me.“ That doesn’t change the fact that Lady Amelia is from the South, Your Highness. ” An Alpha said diplomatically.“ So you are saying the Moon Goddess made a girl from the South, my mate, and that decision was wrong? ” Tyson uttered. The Alphas exchanged different looks before lowering their heads. I released a soft breath and glanced down at my cold, bloodied hands. My vision blurred momentarily. An urge to wash my hands, and scratch my skin overcame my senses. I had to hold onto my sanity and it took every bit of willpower I had.“ Everyone has a choice. ” Tyson’s deep voice rang through the silent throne room. “ Either you become a good man…which is appreciated. Or become a dead man which doesn’t bother me. ”“ Former King Fenric showed us leniency, Your Highness. We are used to— ”“ Leniency? ” Tyson snorted. Bitterness
TYSONHours passed. She didn’t stop crying.I sat her in my lap and consoled her at first. The blood dried all over us but it didn’t seem to faze her one bit.Eventually, I had to carry her to help her get a shower. I washed her, dried her, clothed her in one of my loose white shirts and she continued to cry.Annoyance stirred in me but I kept quiet and helped her climb into my bed. She slipped under the covers without any protest, but her tears didn’t falter.Sighing, I laid down beside her and held her in my arms. The day slowly turned into the night, while she lay oblivious to any change around her.“ You are making me want to bring Kingsley back just so I can kill him again. ” I mumbled tiredly and pulled her face into my chest.Her breath hitched. “ You—You shouldn’t even think that. ”“ You should stop crying then. ” I ran my fingers through her soft curls, enjoying the way her hair felt under my fingertips.“ I am…trying. ” She breathed against my heated skin. I sighed. “ this
TYSON My clothes went to the floor first. I sat in front of her, on my knees, naked and hard. My eyes took in every inch of her with a deliberate laziness. I placed my hands on my thighs to hide the signs of subtle nervousness. “ I should… ” She blinked and dropped her hands to the buttons of her shirt. Silently, I reached out and pushed her hands aside to do it myself. Her droopy eyes settled on me as I unbuttoned the shirt, revealing more and more of her fluffy body. By the time I reached the second last button, I was itching to reveal all of her to my eyes. I gave in to the urge and ripped the last two of them. Her back arched, causing the shirt to slip down her shoulders slightly. I sucked in a breath through my clenched teeth and traced her peddled nipples and smooth belly with my eyes. Heat seared throughout my body. My gaze dropped to her parted legs and her glistening core. I placed my hand on her thigh and dragged it up until my thumb touched her wet clit. My cock res
AMELIA“ I think most of the people in my pack already knew. ” I mumbled, thinking of the times I was mistreated and ignored. They had no reason to do that unless they knew I was not Alpha’s real daughter.Tyson’s head dipped low before he captured my bottom lip between his teeth and tugged softly. I whined, pulling my lip back. “ Look here. ” I pointed towards my lips. “ My lips are so swollen that I believe they are permanently altered now. Stop kissing me now. ”Tyson tugged me closer to his naked body under the sheets. It felt like cuddling, just because we were lying face to face, just talking to each other unless he decided he wanted to bite my lips off which was happening more than I would have liked.I was so warm that I might as well explode due to overheating any moment now. Sweat clung to my skin, and hair, sending hot tremors down the length of my body but he refused to let me out of his arms.“ I think your lips are pretty intoxicating. I want to stop but I can’t. ” Tyso
AMELIA The more they dug, the more anxious I became. Occasionally, the flashes of a distant memory haunted me and threatened to pull me under. ‘ Are you sure, Lia? ’ I could still hear Tyson’s voice in my ears. It had been like this all those years ago. He dug a deep pit, and when he found nothing, he doubted my truth. Although, I was sure of myself back then. I didn’t fear for one moment that Mom’s body was not there. I was not the same anymore. Doubt and insecurity plagued my thoughts. It made me sick and shaky. What if— What if they— Couldn’t find her this time either? What if— “ Your Highness, maybe we should dig on the other side? ” The warrior standing in the pit straightened up and sighed. “ This was…the spot. I am sure. ” I murmured under my breath. I had seen this place in Dad’s memory. The big tree’s branches loomed over our heads, providing a dark shade that only made me more nervous. “ If there was something here, we would have found it by now, Lady Amelia.
AMELIAPeace and calm were not for me. I accepted the fact. After making a proper grave for Mom and attending Dad’s funeral reluctantly, Tyson and I returned to the Eastcairn Citadel where furious people of the Palace awaited me. Although they didn’t dare condemn me in front of their King, their whispers didn’t stop in the dark.It was good that Adelia accompanied me and stayed for a month, making me focus less on people and more on her. We reconciled and strengthened our broken bond. This time, we promised to be honest.I was getting used to having her around me but then she had to leave a week ago. Tyson had decided to let her take over our pack as the Alpha. That decision was met with resistance but as expected, no one came forward to voice it out in front of Tyson. He got what he wanted and Adelia became the Alpha. After she left, I noticed the distasteful looks again. The looks were not the only way of protesting against my presence. Often, I found the curtains in my room torn
Hi Lovelies! I hope you are all well and doing great things in life. So, this book ended a few days ago and there are indeed many things left unfinished but in the next books, we will see snippets of these characters again and you will be able to know what's happening in their chaotic lives.

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.

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
