TWO MONTHS LATER….I smiled as I nodded, taking the glass of water as he helped me to the bed.“You’re sure you’re fine? If not, I can always call the doctor and….” Before he could finish speaking, I shook my head, taking a deep breathe.“I am fine, Alaric. Don’t worry.” I told him as I secretly turned to the maids behind him who were teasing me and he rolled his eyes.“Call me if you need anything, alright?” He asked me and I nodded.“I will.” I told him and when he was sure, confirming for more than a million times that I was fine, he left.I could see the maids giggling and this maid me feel embarrassed. “You can go now. I want to rest.” I told them and they bowed as they left.I sighed as I pulled the sheets closer to myself, closing my eyes as I let out a deep exhale. “He doesn’t have to show he’s that worried, does he?” I clicked my tongue as I rolled on the bed, trying to get the perfect position to rest, even though it was almost all to no avail.I kept rolling on the bed and
AMELIA’s POV…Tears streamed down my cheeks as I stared at the girl who seemed to have a hole in her chest that felt like it was from an arrow, battered skin and dried blood coming out of her.I turned to Alaric and he didn’t seem to have any expression on his face and this caused my heart to clench. I swallowed as I took an inch away from him.“And why have you brought her here, to this auspicious ceremony? Or do you not know that I am about to be wed?” He asked the man as he took out his sword.The man bowed as he shook his head. “This might be nothing to you, Lord Alaric, as you have done worse. Lives may mean nothing to you, but this is my only daughter and if she dies, I do not know what I will do without her.” The man said and more tears streamed down my cheeks.As someone who had only one family, Lilly, all her life, I could only imagine what he was going through as he fell to his knees.“Save my daughter, Lord Alaric, please. I do not want her to die.” He said as he cried and
AMELIA’s POV….“But….”“Please, Amelia.” He told me and I smiled as I nodded.“Can you keep the truth about my child a secret, though? I have done quite a lot for the truth about my child to remain hidden. When my child is born, I do not want her asking me questions about her dad. I do not want anything to take me back there because I do not want to go through that pain again.” I said as more tears streamed down my cheeks and he handed me a glass of water.“If you don’t mind me asking, what made you this way? You willingly came to the vampire world, knowing fully well that we don’t really get along with wolves. Were you really that desperate to get away from the father of your baby that you risked your life?” He asked me and as he spoke, I closed my eyes as the tears from having recalled Alex cheating on me, all the things he had done to me and all the secrets he had kept came to mind.I sniffed. “I just couldn’t bear the thought of being separated from my child.” I sighed as I ran my
AMELIA’s POV…The note fell out of my hand as tears streamed down my cheeks. Alejandro. What could have happened to him?“Amelia, are you alright? You…” Alaric turned me to face him and doing so, letting him see the tears stream down my cheeks, he furrowed his brows.“What’s wrong? Tell me. You….” I turned away from him before he could finish speaking as I handed him the note, more tears streaming down my cheeks.“Alex. He’s not fine. Something has happened to him and….” He pulled me closer to himself as I buried my face in his shoulder, more tears streaming down my cheeks.I placed my hand to my chest as I felt my heart beat faster. Was this the explanation to why I had been feeling this way all this time? Was this the explanation to why Brooke had been this way all this time?I sniffed as he patted my back gently. “Do you believe this, Amelia?” He asked me and I nodded as I pulled out of his embrace, taking a deep breathe as I ran my fingers through my hair.I took in a deep breathe
ALARIC’s POV….“That’s where you’re wrong.” She told me as she looked down and I clenched my fists.“I might still worry about him because I have feelings remaining for him. I mean, it’s not easy to fall out of your first love. Even though he hurt me, I can’t forget the things he did for me, but that’s not the case here. I have a baby to think of now and I can’t give her up.” She told me, and it wasnt like I could do anything but nod.Honestly, it did hurt me a lot that she still cared for the same man that hurt her. The same man that caused her to make a lot of sacrifices, but could I do? The mate bond could be such a jerk.“Get ready, then. I’ll prepare for a portal to be created.” I said and she nodded.It was getting awkward in here and at this point, seeing her just hurt me because for some reason, I actually felt like I wasn’t enough for her. I made to leave when she suddenly held on to my hand. “Alaric.” She called out to me and I turned to her.I parted my lips to speak, but b
ALARIC’s POV….“What the hell is she doing?” I couldn’t help but mutter, to Amelia’s hearing and she looked at me.She raised her brow, asking me what was wrong, but I shook my head, lying that it was nothing but I knew she wouldn’t believe me.She followed my gaze and that was when she realized what I had been paying attention to the whole time. She gasped as she took my hand off her mouth, and next thing I knew, she actually wanted to go to Ariana.I held her hand as I pulled her back, staring at her in shock. What on earth did she think she was about to do?“You’re going to land us in trouble, and what do you think will be done to you when they find you in the Alpha’s room, especially when they didn’t see you come through? Didn’t you say the people here didn’t really like you?” I whispered to her and she relaxed even more against the door as she stared at Ariana and Alexander from where we stood and I could see the anger building up within her.I shook my head and when I saw that A
AMELIA’s POV…I sighed as I stared at the ceiling. I wasn’t doing myself or my baby any good, I knew, but I just couldn’t help myself.Everytime I closed my eyes, all I could see was Alex laying on the bed and then Ariana walking into the room.It had been months. Months had passed and I thought I had managed to forget him, so what was this? Why was this happening to me, then? I groaned as I turned on the bed, placing my hand to my stomach.Damn Kevin. If only he hadn’t informed me about Alex’s condition. I wouldn’t be this worried and then have to worry Alaric too.“Amelia?” There was a knock on the door and I sat on the bed as the maid walked in.I smiled as I got off the bed. “Oh, it’s you.”She nodded as she walked in with the tray. “Lord Alaric has asked me to bring this to you.” She told me and I drew in a sharp breathe.“Tell him I’m fine and that he doesn’t have to worry.” That was all a lie. I wasn’t fine at all. Although Brooke wasn’t really reacting, I still worried for Ale
AMELIA’s POV….“Pardon?”He chuckled as he walked closer to me. “Honestly, I find your marriage very suspicious, especially as you didn’t do this ceremony, so….”“She won’t be doing any of those.” I heard someone say and turning, it was Alaric.The moment he walked in, he bowed before the man who had just said he was his godfather and I did too.“Amelia, this is Kendrick, one of my godfathers. GK, this is Amelia, my wife, and future mother of my children.” He said as he wrapped his hands around me and I bowed again alongside him as a sign of respect.“Your wife sure is not what I expected. How is she a hybrid, yet doesn’t know of the ceremonies that are to be performed to be fully….”“She didn’t grow up around here, as you may already know.” Alaric said and I looked down.It hadn’t really been an issue that I didn’t grow up here since I came here now, but that was probably because I hadn’t met the troublesome elders yet. This happened to be the first one and… I swallowed as I clenched
AMELIA’s POV….Everything felt blank. I could only hear Gadob’s screams as I felt myself become nothing but air.“Lilly, Alex, my son, I love you. I love you all.” I slowly muttered as I closed my eyes.It was all over. Gadob had been defeated. My son. I hoped he would be able to get help in due time. It was a good one living the life I managed to live before everything that happened.I love you, world..Slowly opening my eyes, my head was hurting. I felt sharp pain in both my sides as I gasped in pain.As I finally managed to open my eyes, I saw people hovering over me and I furrowed my brows as I saw the concerned look in their eyes.“Amy!” Lilly’s voice brought me out of my suspicions as she hugged me tightly, tears streaming down her cheeks as she didn’t even leave me space to breathe.I patted her back as I looked around. My baby. My son.“My son…. Where….” Just then, Alex walked in, with my baby in his arms.I gasped as tears streamed down my cheeks.“Your baby is fine, Amy.” Li
AMELIA’s POV….“I’ll bring my child back. That’s a promise.” I said, my heart beating fast as I felt myself start to disappear into thin air after staring at the container I had gotten from the priest.When I had seen in the vision that Selene had shown me that if I chose to save my child, I would have to fight to keep him, I had thought it would be later. I had it in mind that danger was coming, especially after what the priest had told me about what I thought about Gadob was wrong, but did I expect it to come this soon? No!Regardless, I wasn’t the same Amelia he had battled the other time. When he had first battled me, I was just a pregnant woman who wanted to save her baby with everything in her and now that the baby had been born, he had the guts to abduct him?He would pay for this, for sure.I clenched my fists as standing in the middle of this deserted ground, I felt my confidence increase. Alex and Alaric had points, though, truly, because I was in no condition to fight, but
ALPHA ALEXANDER’s POV….“How on earth did that happen? You…..”“Gadob…. He’s back.” Kevin said and immediately, I felt rage surge through me as I ran my fingers through my hair.“Watch over Lilliana, hmm? Make sure nothing happens to her. You’ll be held responsible if something should happen to her.” I told him as I made to dash out of the room, but before I could, I felt someone holding me back.I looked down to see Lilliana staring at me with hopeful eyes. “Alpha Alexander, the goddess is on your side. You’ll bring my Amy back, won’t you?” She asked me, and I took her hand off my shirt as I signaled for Kevin to come hold her back.“Rest assured I’m not returning here without her.” I said, and with that, I rushed out.I needed to make it to the vampire world in time.As I stood at the spot where the portal was being opened, I couldn’t help but wonder: Was this what she had been talking about earlier when she said those things? I ran my fingers through my hair. I could never understa
ALPHA ALEXANDER’s POV….I had never been in a tighter spot. I wanted to save my little breeche, but would she be able to survive it when she found out that the only reason her baby couldn’t make it was because I had said they should save her?I shook my head. It didn’t matter. She was the most important. I could deal with her scorn, but not losing her. Even if it was less than 0.001%, as long as there was a chance to save her, I would take it.“Save her. Do your best to save her. I will give you anything you want. Houses, cars, whatever you want. Just make sure you save her and…..”“Not me. Save my baby instead.” Turning, I was shocked to see my little breeche standing weakly at the door.I looked at her and I could see that even though they had changed her clothes, she was still bleeding.“What… what are you doing?” The doctors asked, gasping as they rushed to her, but she raised her hand, indicating she could manage as she slowly walked out of the room, gasping in pain as she held o
ALPHA ALEXANDER’s POV….“Say nothing.” I told her as I swept her into my arms, taking her straight to the bed as I immediately called for the doctor.I couldn’t explain whatever was going through my head at that moment. All I knew was that regardless of all that happened, I would still be with my little breeche. After so long, we had finally gotten back and nothing was going to separate us. I made sure of it.“Argh!” Her screams continued as the doctors rushed in with me.“Alpha Alexnder….. we’ll take it.” They said as they made to shut the door behind them, but I couldn’t have it.I would go crazy if I couldn’t see my little breeche getting better, especially with how she was screaming. No way.“I have to…,,.”“Please, Alpha Alexander, you’re going to have to stay out. Thank you!” That was the only thing they said before the door came shut right in front of me.I didn’t get to see my little breeche any longer, all I continued to hear were her screams. She was in pain, she was going t
ALPHA ALEXANDER’s POV….“My baby, Alex. My baby.” She cried as she held on to my shirt, her tears soaking it.More than anyone, I knew how much this child meant to her. Whatever she had done, she had done it to save our baby, so, if she had a bad dream, it would definitely affect her.“Nothing is going to happen, little breeche. Our baby will be alright.” I told her as I rubbed her back.It took a lot of time and a lot of words before she finally managed to calm down. After she had managed to calm down, she fell asleep.I drew in a sharp breathe as I made to place her on her side of the bed, but she held on tighter to me.“Don’t let go of me, Alex. Please.” She said and as she spoke, even in her sleep, I could hear how shaky her voice was and how scared she was.I nodded as I patted her back. “I won’t. Now, go to sleep.” I told her as I planted a kiss on her forehead.She went to sleep and for the rest of the night, I found myself watching her. Not like I could sleep if I wanted to.I
ALPHA ALEXANDER’s POV….“Alex… I know we’ve agreed to resolve everything and start afresh, but… there’s something holding that back. The truth. What I saw that day…. Did you….” She gulped as she drew in another deep breathe. “Did you really not spend the night with Ariana?” She asked me, and I just stared at her.I honestly didn’t know if I was ready to talk about this yet. After all, this was the same thing that had made her leave.I took her hand in mine as I stared at her and I could see the concern in her eyes for my bleeding hand.“You didn’t, right?” She asked me as she looked at me and I could see her eyes glisten due to the tears and it hurt me because I had promised to never make her cry.I gently wiped her tears away as I shook my head. “I could never.” I said as I cupped her cheeks. “The first night we made love, little breeche….. that night sealed you as the only person who I’d get to make love to every single f*cking night of my life until I die.” I told her as I took in
AMELIA’s POV….I didn’t know what to call the look I saw in his eyes when I asked him that, but I knew for sure he wasn’t pleased to hear that. I clenched on to the sides of my gown as he started to look me in the eye because even after all this time, he still had that effect on me.I stepped back and he took a step closer to me. “Repeat yourself, please.” He said and I clenched even tighter to the sides of my clothes as I drew in a sharp breathe.“If I say your…if I say your presence triggers me and I want nothing to do with you…. Will you let me leave? Will you….”“Is that really what you want?” He asked me, and I gasped as I turned to him.“Huh?”“Does my presence really trigger you? How king has it been triggering you for? Is that why you leave me everytime I think we’re actually getting better? Is that the reason why…..” he paused as he ran his fingers through his hair, making him look so hot.Focus, Amelia, focus! This wasn’t the time to admire your mate.“Is that really what y
AMELIA’s POV…“I’m not willing to talk about any of this here. As it is, I am already heartbroken enough and it’s taking everything in me not to take it out on you considering the fact that you’re carrying my child- which you told me wasn’t mine.” He said and as he spoke, noticing how shaky his voice was actually becoming, I felt my heart ache.I didn’t want to cause hurt to someone who didn’t do anything wrong. The only wrong he did was letting Ariana get in the way of our love, but he did try his best to rectify it, but then, as the stupid omega I was, I had to mess everything up. “But, it doesn’t change the fact that the only reason you return with me is the baby. It scares me what will happen when the baby is finally born. Will you….” Before I could finish speaking, he turned to Lilly and like they had some sort of connection, she nodded as she took her bag out with her.I looked down and he sighed. “That’s what you really think? Even after everything that has happened, you still
