AMELIA’s POV…It felt like my heart got caught in my throat as I saw him standing at the edge, staring at me with what didn’t feel like anger, but surprise.“Alex?” I muttered as I felt my eyes start to water and just then, Alaric turned to me, worried, but I couldn’t focus on him. I just couldn’t help but stare at Alex as the gaze on his face changed while he started to walk towards us.As he got closer to us, Alaric took my hand as he put me behind him, standing in front of me, as firm as possible, as he put his hand in his pocket, to show that regardless, he would always be there for me and I couldn’t help but be in awe of how this man could still care for me even when his reputation was at stake.“Alaric….” He squeezed my hand in a way that showed that he got in and I swallowed as I looked down.I didn’t have a good feeling about this at all.Finally, Alex stood in front of us and I could feel the amount of fear and nervousness that I felt all at once. How was this happening? Was
AMELIA’s POV…My stomach felt tightened, I could still recall the pain my wolf was in when they were fighting, and I could remember passing out.“My baby!” I gasped as I jumped out of bed and doing so, I placed my hand to my stomach as I closed my eyes. My baby.Luckily, Alaric was in the room when I regained consciousness and he rushed to me as he held on to my hand and staring at him, I could see how bruised he was. Oh, goodness! Why’d he have to get in a fight with Alex because of me. It wasn’t like him.“Are you okay?” He asked me and I nodded as I sighed.He looked down to my hand and immediately knew what I was going to ask about next.“Alaric, my ba….” Before the words could leave my mouth, the door came open and of course, Alex walked in.The moment he did, my face dropped as I took my hand from off my stomach. He didn’t know about the baby and I didn’t want him to know about it, so I couldn’t ask about my baby while he was still here. He was also bruised, but I didn’t want to
ALPHA ALEXANDER’s POV…“Amelia!” His screams as he pushed her so we could take the blow for her filled my head and I got out of bed as I ran my fingers through my hair, my breathing increased as I buried my face in my hand.I drew in a sharp breathe as I shook my head. “Little breeche.” I muttered as I looked around and turning, I realized I was back at my pack.What was happening? How did I get back here? And my little breeche? What about her? What happened to her after that? Damn it!“Alpha Alexander, are you alright?” It was only then that I realized Ivan was in the room…. With Ariana. Seeing her, my face dropped as I clenched my fists.“What are you doing here?” I asked her, angrily.“It’s not so wrong that I care for you, is it? I mean, I…”“Getout.” I told her as I turned to Ivan, giving him a death stare. I didn’t need to say the words, he already knew what the death stare was for and he bowed his head as he apologized.I looked around, stared at the door, waiting for the one p
AMELIA’s POV…I covered my mouth as I hid behind the rock, tears streaming down my cheeks. I was scared, to the core, but I had to keep silent. I had been injured, and it hurt a lot, but then, when I looked towards Alaric, my heart broke into a million more pieces.He had taken so many blows for me and had even gotten hurt by a sword for me and sometimes, I wondered if just breaking a curse for him was worth all the trouble I put him through. Of course, it wasn’t, so why was he risking himself for me?I stared at his back and it was bleeding and more tears streamed down my cheeks. I traced my hand on to the wound and he turned to me.“I am sorry for all the trouble I put you through, Alaric.” I mouthed to him and he smirked as he turned back to be sure that we were in the clear.We had been hiding around for what felt like forever and I didn’t know why those things kept coming for me. What did they want from me?Thank goodness Lilly was fine. At least I didn’t have to worry about her
AMELIA’s POV…“D…die? If I die?” I got off the bed as I turned away from him. “You’re talking nonsense. Powers, me having to die for them, the…:” I looked down at my stomach, and then recalled Lilly. “I can’t die, no. You’re speaking rubbish. You must be mistaken. Your drugs must be getting to you.” I told him but even as I tried to convince myself with my words, I could still feel myself shaking from within.I felt like he was right and I could actually die if care wasn’t taken. I swallowed as I looked down at my stomach. What were these powers? I had always known something was off and I just didn’t have ordinary instincts that were able to detect when danger was looming, but I never really paid attention to that, and now, I had to die to be able to protect my child? What nonsense was that?He came behind me as he placed his hand on my shoulder. “Believe me, Amelia. More than anyone, I wish this is a lie because I know all you’ve been through, but it’s the painful truth. You have the
AMELIA’s POV…“You’re stressed, come with me.” He told me as he led me back to my room.As he helped me sit on the bed, I raised my head to him. “I’m serious about it, though, Alaric.” I told him as I recalled being unable to do anything even when Lilly was being taken away from me and nothing hurt and made me feel more useless than that.“You’ve run out of water, I’ll go get some for you.” He told me as he took the jug.Just as he was about to leave, I grabbed his hand, causing him to turn back to me as he smiled.“You’re trying to avoid the conversation, aren’t you? I know you think….” He didn’t even let me finish speaking, before again, he put his hand over my mouth, having me lay on my back as he smirked.“I’ll go get the water, and then we’ll talk.” He said and without even giving me the chance to say anything else, he walked out of the room.I looked down and looking down, I started to feel a certain weird sensation in my chest. I placed my hand to my chest as I closed my eyes.
AMELIA’s POV….I gasped as tears streamed down my cheeks, looking at my hand that had now started to bleed as I fell back, feeling as weak as ever as I swallowed.I looked around the room, and the place was looking as blurry as a movie that didn’t have proper signal. I clenched my fists as I bit my lips, trying my best to clear my vision; but to my best abilities, I really couldn’t.“Little breeche.” I heard Alex call out to me as he rushed towards me and I closed my eyes as the tears streamed down my cheeks and just then, I also heard Alaric call out to me and from how he called out to me, I knew that he was wounded because of what I had done.“Amelia.” He called out to me and again, I opened my eyes to see both men standing in front of me.I gulped as they both extended their hands to me, wanting me to take one of their hands to get up.I looked at Alex who seemed to be panting like he had run all the way here and then, I turned to Alaric who even though was in pain for what I had d
AMELIA’s POV….“Never mind. I’m not interested.” I stated bluntly as I made to get off the bed, but he held on to my hand as he shook his head.“Of all people, you should know that I have your best interests at heart.” He told me and I sighed as I nodded.“I know you do, and even though I don’t quite understand what you mean by keeping my powers in check, I can assure you one thing. I do not want anything to do with him. I do not want to be around him one bit, Alaric.” I said as I moved closer to him, whispering, just in case anyone was passing by.“Have you forgotten I am carrying his pup? I know because I’m half vampire, it might not happen, but what if he manages to smell his pup growing within me? What shall I do then?” I asked him and he placed his hand on my shoulder as he led me to the bed, having me sit as he ran his fingers through his hair.“You and the baby were what I thought about the most before I came up with this as a solution, so believe me when I say that no matter h
