AMELIA’s POVThe lady at the door was heaving seriously, and her chest was heaving up and down. She was in a dress with a very low neckline, exposing more than half of her breasts that I feared that they might pop out.Charles raised a brow, letting out a low whistle. “Let the show begin.” He muttered with a grin on his face and Cassio glared at him.“Control your…She should watch how she speaks to Amelia.” Charles added, and a warm feeling filled my heart. He was being supportive of me even at this moment.The tall, slim lady entered the living room fully, flipping her blonde hair before coming to stand in front of Cassio and I. I was expecting Cassio to stand up, and probably talk to her, but he sat there beside me.“I knew it Cassio, I knew it!!!” She yelled, “the rumours were true, you're banging other women when we would get married soon.” She sobbed.“We? Getting married? I don't know what you're talking about.” He shrugged.“Now you want to deny me. I gave you my body!! I ga—”
AMELIA’s POV“What the hell had just happened?” I muttered.Amaya slowly rose from the ground, looking at me with shock.“How did you do that? It's…it's not possible. Your wolf is weak, very weak. I perceived it. I can't be wrong!!” She yelled, shifting backwards.If she thought she was more shocked than I, then she was wrong. It must have been the heat of the moment, cause where did that come from? How did I manage to do that?I had always been the target of bullying. Because almost everyone seemed to perceive how weak my wolf was, thus making it easy for them to bully me. The only way I got back at them was through my words. And I had to be careful most times, because I would face the consequences at the end because I couldn't fight back.Since I was young, I had always despised my wolf. Because I couldn't get to fight back when I was being attacked. Maybe if my wolf was strong, I would have been able to escape the Blue moon pack a long time ago, and wouldn't have been sold to red c
AMELIA’s POVI looked at Doctor Jenkins waringly, this was because according to the books, some giants ate werewolves. But I doubted he did. Because if he did Charles and Cassio wouldn't be friends with him, and would have probably found a way to stop him.“Is that a threat kiddo? Do it already, transform let’s see.” Cassio continued teasing him. I looked at Cassio with disbelief, didn't he know that if he transformed he could destroy the building? Even though the ceiling was quite high.“I’d be a fool to listen to you, just wait till we go hunting.” Doctor Jenkins smirked.“Alright, alright. That's enough banter both of you. Back to why I asked that you be brought here. She's injured, do a check up on her.” Charles said.Doctor Jenkins picked up my hands, checking my pulse. He listened to my heartbeat, checked my temperature and the necessary check up. He then cleaned the scratch marks on face, which I had gotten from Amaya’s finger nails as she didn't use her claws.“She's fine now.
TALON’s POV“My lord, there's a mole somewhere. The soldiers of the Shadow moon pack had escaped, leaving only the citizens in the pack. It doesn't seem right to shed innocent blood so we left them.” Dimitri, the army commander reported.I raised my head from the desk, looking at him without saying anything. I noticed a fresh scar run from his forehead to his left cheek, his eyes barely escaped the scar. Nowadays, I noticed things that weren't important ever since Amelia left. “How did you get the scar?” I asked absentmindedly, ignoring his report.He looked at me, bewildered. He must probably think I was going crazy because I asked how he got the scar. Not that I didn't care for my soldiers, but not the extent of asking how they had gotten a scar. Amelia’s absence was really doing a lot to me. Her scent from her old clothes was part of the things that got me going.It would probably fade away soon, but I wasn't planning to get it washed nor trash it, not now, not later, not ever.“I
AMELIA’s POV “Alessia.” I called, when I noticed that she looked lost.“Yes milady.” She answered, snapping out of her thoughts.“Are you alright? You seemed…a bit lost.” “I'm sorry milady.” She said, with her head down.“Come on.” I groaned, “You don't have to apologize or bow, we’ve talked about this.”“So how long have you been having this nightmare?” She asked.“Just now. I haven't dreamt of such before, and it felt so real.” I sighed.“They're just dreams, milady, they’ll eventually pass.” She smiled, placing a hand on my shoulders.“So…we’re friends now right?” I smiled sheepishly, looking at the hand she placed on my shoulders. She hurriedly removed it as if she was scalded by hot iron.“I'm sorry about that milady. But maids can't be friends with people of high importance.” She muttered, and I almost burst out laughing.‘Me? High importance?’ I guess I should tell her who I was already, but then a voice whispered in my head, ‘Be careful, whom you trust.’ But it wouldn't hurt
AMELIA’sI froze upon seeing this. It was as if there was some unknown force, that was stopping the fork from moving to pierce me. Cassio swiped his hands and the fork fell to the ground with a clang sound.“What in fucks name just happened?” Cassio muttered, looking as shocked as I was.“What happened? Did the fork hit Amelia?” Charles stood up, rushing towards us. He didn't see what had happened as Cassio's back was facing him.“I’m so sorry, I only meant for the fork to hit the idiot. Where did it hit you?” He asked, checking me for any sign of injury.“No, no. I wasn't hurt. It's just…it's just…” I muttered incoherently, shocked by what had happened.“It's just what Amelia?” He asked. But when I didn't say anything, he faced Cassio who had already overcome the shock, and walked towards where the fork had landed, picking it up and looking at it closely.“Cassio, what happened?” Charles asked.“Something otherworldly is at work.” He nodded his head, standing to face Charles. “Earli
AMELIA’sI shivered as the cold, howling wind hit my skin as we walked up the mountain. I was clad in a huge, thick coat made of animal fur, but somehow the cold still managed to seep in. I released a breath, frosty air escaped my lips and danced around before moving with the wind.“Amelia, I ask again. Do you really not want me to carry you? I fear you might collapse even before we get to the top.” Charles let out, for the umpteenth time since we started the journey.“Ugh, I don't need you carrying me. I’m strong enough, and I’ve been doing fine since we were at the bottom of the mountain. You don't seem to notice I’ve gotten stronger, do you?” I hummed.“Don't mind him. He’s such a dummy. Even a blind man can perceive that you're getting stronger.” Cassio grinned, and I could see a vein pop on Charles’s head, at the left side.“I know right?” I grinned as I bumped fist with Cassio. I had gotten quite free around Cassio these days, he was fun to be with and very playful. If not for h
TALON’s POVI was right, the soldiers of the Shadow moon pack couldn't have just disappeared without anyone in the pack knowing. Dimitri had fished some men, whom he considered suspicious. And here I stood, in front of the first man’s house, whom Dimitri had fished out.On a normal day, this was something I would have left for Charles to handle, if he were here. Not that Dimitri wasn't competent, I just seemed to have a lot of free time. Breaking a few bones with the time, doesn't sound bad.“You can try all you want, Talon. You’ll never find the soldiers.” The man with rimmed glasses, and crooked brown teeth smiled, with an evil glint in his eyes. I chuckled dryly at his words. The last time I visited the pack to declare war, he was one of those who literally bowed at my feet in tears. One would think that he was bowing and pleading so that the war wouldn't happen. But in actual sense, he was actually pleading for his life to be spared, and for me to take him into my pack.He didn't
AMELIA’s POVI couldn't help but smile as soon as I was out of the Westlands. The warm sun of Dawnsville hit my skin, and I basked in it. The cold had been terrible, and as cool as the Westlands looked, I still preferred Dawnsville over it. A carriage was waiting for us as we stood near the border that separated Dawnsville and the Westlands.“Oh, finally.” Cassio exclaimed as he rolled on the dusty, warm floor. The two guards who stood near the carriage, had a bewildered experience on their faces. They tried hard to maintain a neutral expression.“My lord.” One came forward when Cassio stood, and led us to the carriage. Charles was already seated, reading a scroll. I looked beside him, where a stack of scrolls sat.“When you're done dilly-dallying, you should return to your duties. You have a lot to do, both for your people and for your ladies.” Charles commented amidst reading, adding a drawl to his last words.“Ugh, I'm so tired. I don't even have the strength to take a look at even
TALON’s POV“Be careful with the way you widen your eyes, the flies surrounding your wounds might jump in.” I said.“Wha…what are you talking about? Who's Raphael?” He managed to say, amidst his shock.“Tch, you should know better than to respond with this. Do not make me repeat myself.”“I knew it since the time I set my eyes on you, you're a demon. Bastard!” He spat.“Any new names for me? That's the only thing you've been calling me for the umpteenth time.” I rolled my eyes.“Speak up, while I’m still being all nice and chatty. I personally don't like using the black salt to make culprits talk, unless I’m forced to. Now just be a good boy, and spill out everything. Who knows, I might get you treated and let you leave.” I shrugged.“I don't want your damn offer, I was even planning to kill myself before these idiots stopped me.” He glared at the guards, “I already made up my mind to die, do you think I’d be scared of you?”“You might think you'd get away with all this, but I promise
TALON’s POVI let out a sigh when we arrived at my pack. Making preparations for the war was not at all difficult, my men were always prepared and ready. All I had to do was to get hundreds of my men set, against thousands of their own men.“My lord, the guards at the torture room reported that Gaius attempted to claw out his heart himself. He wants to kill himself. Should I prepare the carriage?” Dimitri informed.This makes it more obvious that he was hiding something. I knew he had something to do with the missing gamma, Raphael. There had been no success in finding Raphael. Gaius had been so intent on joining my pack, before all this. I figured out that he was involved with someone from my pack, which was Raphael and now he was nowhere to be found.“No, I’d take a bath first. Tell them to keep watch till then.” I said, and Dimitri answered hesitantly with a nod. “My lord. If he kills himself, then we wouldn't be able to get anything. The other men we captured seem practically use
AMELIA’s POVIvana used her broom to struck the hand, as it put up a fight trying to crawl up the broom to lunged at Ivana. She muttered some words, and the hand became paralysed immediately.“It's the hand, the one that attacked me at the portal.” I whispered.“You're bleeding badly.” She muttered, as she dropped the broom and came to me. She sat me on the bed, while she stood to bring a mashed, green gooey substance. She wiped off the blood, and I gasped when I saw how deep the wound was, it would leave a scar. It claws really went deep.I hissed from the biting sensation I felt when she applied the gooey substance.“Sorry, it’ll only hurt a little.” She assured.“What's this?” “It's a healing paste, made by an ancient divine herb maker. It was discovered by the grand witch. We witches, go to her domain yearly, to receive bottles.” She explained.“You have a ruler too, I thought witches were independent.” I asked, as my gaze drifted to the hand which laid on the floor with no movem
TALON’s POVThe two days in which Rosette had to spend with Dimitri were over, and we were headed back. Rosette found it hard to control her emotions as we left. I could tell she was already feeling something for Dimitri, my judgement earlier was wrong then.Them being together was something that was close to impossible. I wasn't ready to let go of one of my best men as a matter of fact, Charles gone was already enough. I didn't want to lose one more again. It was hard to find loyal and trust worthy men, who weren't plotting something against me or were after my power.Even with Charles betrayal, if I were to pick between him and a new beta, I would pick him over and over again. Setting his escape aside, he was loyal to the core and a formidable training opponent who could match my pace in a physical combat.As for gamma Raphael, I was yet to uncover what happened to him. Some said he was dead, but his body was never found. Others said he escaped, but there was no reason for him to do
AMELIA’s POV“Alright, alright. Let's not talk about him anymore, our focus should be on Charles and Ivana.” Cassio said, to ease the tension.“My apologies for speaking about him like that, at the end of the day, he's still your mate.” Scymodus muttered.“It's alright, I didn't pick offence.” I smiled.A knock at the door made us keep quiet. Our movement paused, as we simultaneously looked at each other.“Who could that be? I’m certainly not expecting any visitors. I declined all appointments.” Scymodus said in a hushed tone.“What if it's Charles and Ivana?” I whispered.“Then they would ha—”“Open the door for goodness sake!” A familiar voice exclaimed, it was Charles.“No, no, no. Don't give me that look. You should go get the door instead, Ivana would skin me alive.” Scymodus objected, as Cassio kept on forcing him to get the door.I stood up to open the door myself.“It's so good to be home.” Ivana muttered as she entered, closing her eyes probably to enjoy the warmth of the hou
TALON’s POVI couldn’t shake the feeling, she was here. I saw her, Amelia. I would stake my life on it. The way her amber eyes locked onto mine for that fleeting moment, I felt her presence in every bone of my body. Yet now, it was as if she’d disappeared into thin air.Rosette stood in front of me, with a puzzled look, like I had gone insane. I could feel the lie in her tone, though her words seemed harmless enough.“Charles wasn't here. And like I said before, I was expecting him to come with you.” She said in a firm tone.I stared at her deeply, waiting for her to make a mistake, but she gave nothing away. My wolf growled low in frustration, pacing restlessly inside me. It didn’t add up. I knew what I’d seen and felt.“You’re certain?” I muttered in a cold tone. “No golden-blonde hair, no amber eyes, no one who stood out to you in any way?”Her brows furrowed, as she sighed. “I swear, Talon. No one like that has been here. I don’t know who you’re talking about. What the hell is wro
AMELIA’s POVA veiny, long hand gripped my leg as I got into the portal. I tried hard to get away from its grip, but it proved futile as it kept trying to drag me out of the portal. Scymodus held my hands tightly, as Cassio held him from the other side as they were already in the portal.“Pull harder!” Scymodus yelled.It was a wonder, how a hand had so much force against we three. I noticed the veins on the hand were a dark purplish colour, and it had sharp claws which pierced my skin. After trying to wriggle out my leg with no effort, I decided to use my other leg to push, and that was a great risk as I could fall out of the portal. But I had to do it, there was no time. With Scymodus gripping me tightly, I brought forward my other leg and pushed it down with as much force as I could muster.It released my leg, and made to grab it again but I dived immediately into the portal with Scymodus’ pull. The force emanating from inside the portal caused us to part our hands, and we began f
Chapter forty-five:TALON’s POV“Amelia.” I muttered softly as I darted my eyes to the other side of the wall, someone was watching me. I was sure as hell that it was her. My heart began to beat rapidly, like it had never done before. I walked towards the wall, where I felt her gaze.“Bastard!” Dalton growled as he struck me with the fake magic with intense force, on my left arm. I felt a sharp burning sensation, as my skin started to melt.“Yessss! Die bastard!” He hissed, “You always think you’re invisible, now look at how pathetic you look at this moment. Very soon, you’d be without a left arm. Guess what? I’ll make sure to paralyze each and every part of your limbs. Then I’d boil you alive in front of your soldiers, and my pack.” He laughed out loud.“Isn't that wishful thinking? You barely did anything.” I chuckled dryly.“I see you're still being arrogant. Maybe if you reduce your arrogance, I might give you a painless death.” He smirked.“What's the use of reducing it if I woul
