Kayden's povThe moment I went to my study, I heaved in relief. I don't know what was going on, but I was really scared. My heartbeat drummed hard, and I didn't need anyone to tell me that I was panicking again. I looked around my study, and found a bottle of whiskey, which I grabbed, downing the content of the glass.I didn't care about the amount of alcohol there, and what it could do to me. My throat dangled as I downed the content of the bottle.As soon as I was done, I wiped my lips with the back of my hands, waiting for the drink to take effect.I didn't know how long I stayed there, but I got a mind link from my beta, telling me that he was back with my assignment.A smirk plastered on my lips.“Take him to the torture room, and offer him a seat. I'm on my way…” I explained, pushing myself up from the seat. It had been a while and I wanted to see if she was awake first. Making her watch her step father suffer was a good punishment for the both of them.Amelia was a really c
Amelia's pov.I turned pale when I saw my step father being tied to a chair. His mouth was gagged so he wouldn't be able to say a thing, but his gaze alone told me what he was feeling.My heart drummed in my chest, and I turned to Kayden who had a Wicked smile on his face. “This is no way to treat your guest, do you know that?" I asked, not caring what he would do to me, but he laughed. “Who said he was a guest?” Kayden asked, his eyes scanning me like there was something he was trying to say that I didn't get.“Tell me. Did your stepfather hurt you when you stayed with him, did he starve you?” He asked, but stopped when his eyes stared into mine. “What exactly did he do to you when you stayed with him.” He inched closer, and I could tell that nothing indeed wasn't right.I was scared, so I backed away, but he held me in such a way that I couldn't move.“Are you sure you aren't going to speak? Let me tell you this. He's not related to you, and even if he was by any chance, I still
Amelia's pov.I stood there a little puzzled by what was going on. Worry clouded me, and I was scared about the whole thing.The place where I stood was a meadow, and I seemed lost on how to go back home.“Hello!” I yelled, but only my echoes returned to me. My heart sank down to my ribcage.If only I knew where I was, then maybe I would have been able to find my way back home.“Hello, anyone here?” I asked in the hope of getting someone's attention. However, I heard someone familiar call my name.“Amelia?” The same echoed, causing me to turn towards her with worry.“Mother?!” I exclaimed widening my eyes as I rushed towards her with happiness.My arms were wrapped around her with a smile on my face as I sobbed. “My darling…” she said softly, rubbing my back as I cried like there was no tomorrow.“Don't cry, darling, please…” she begged with tears in her eyes, making me aware that there was definetely something wrong. Once I pulled away from the hug, I noticed that my dress had chan
Kayden's pov.I could sense the jealousy in her tone, there was no doubt that she had fallen for me just like Ramona.Rolling my eyes, I decieded to make things easier by just kissing her.“You're jealous about me having mistresses?” I teased, not knowing why I found her reaction really funny. However, she shook her head denying all she felt. I noticed she was trying her best to lock her feelings inwardly.“You know I can hear your thoughts, right?” I pinned her hands down. “Do you agree to the terms I said earlier?” I asked, making Amelia nod.As soon as she nodded, I immediately pounced on her.She was pretty as ever, and the fact she wanted me to keep fucking her made me lose my mind.“Alpha… alpha Kayden please…” She begged with moans that formed melodies in my ears.I didn't waste time entering into her core, and thrusting with all of my might.I didn't know why I took pleasure in her body. She was more like a fucking goddess who I didn't know why I got addicted to.Her body bec
Amelia's pov.I was in the room, pondering on what had just happened. I didn't know what was going on. He had sent me out of the bathroom, and refused my touch.I thought he was pleased with me, we were having fun…The thought alone caused me to be broken.I didn't know what else to do because I was really confused, but I hoped that things would get better because I was confused on how things went.I got into the bathroom, and made sure to clean up after what we did.Then I laid on my bed to rest a little because I was exhausted, and hurt.I didn't expect him to even do that kind of a thing to me. I was worried, but then I pushed everything away. I was already tired, and the medications I received were making me feel weird.I was so tired, and my eyes were extremely heavy. I didn't know what was going on, but I could tell something was definitely wrong.My heart was heavy, and I tried my best to do what I could.My mom told me he loved me, so I was just gonna to trust the process. A
Amelia's POVI frowned at her comment, not finding any humor in it. Calling someone a sugar queen is rather strange, and there wasn't any bit of humor in the term, not even in the way she said it.“Who are you?.” I asked rather quietly. Ramona laughed mirthlessly. She leaned against the wall with narrowed eyes, looking me up and down. "I'm Ramona. And I can see you're Alpha Kayden's new plaything." I shifted uneasily under her piercing gaze. "I still don't know who you are, maybe there is a reason why I haven't heard about you all these while.” I added. I didn't want to cause any trouble, but I also didn't want to give her the Idea that I was scared of who she was or might be. It wasn't my plan to be where I was, but I wasn't going to give anyone else the opportunity to do as they wanted with me. Ramona rolled her eyes. "Didn't anyone teach you not to interrupt when someone is speaking?" I sighed and removed her hand which was still firmly placed on my shoulder. I pulled myself
Amelia's POV Kayden's arms were wrapped tightly around me, his hands gripping my waist and back almost painfully. But the pressure reassured me that I was safely out of harm's way. As his panic gradually subsided, I became aware of strange stirrings within myself. My mind was clear again yet emotions played in my chest that did not seem my own - anger, outrage, a fierce protective urge. I glanced up at Kayden's face, taking in the silver glint of his eyes and twisted snarl. There was no mistaking the anger that was emanating from his rigid frame. When I was falling just few minutes ago from the stairs, I was scared.. terrible. Last of me didn't want to die, another part wanted to find out what was going to happen when I fall. But what I was feeling now was something different… there was anger. I wasn't angry at Ramona, I barely even knew her, what I felt was a shock surprise… why was she going to kill me, she didn't even know me yet. The anger that I was feeling, wasn't mine.
Kayden’s POVAs I walked away from the scene, my mind was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. I couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled deep within me since what happened last night, and now the incident with Ramona and Amelia's fall down the stairs.There was something different about the way I felt, especially when I was around Amelia.The hallway stretched out before me, dark and silent. I paused, my instincts urging me to turn back. And when I did, I saw her - curled up on the floor where I had left her, her head buried between her legs.“What the fuck is she doing?.” Muttered under my breath. My heart clenched at the sight of her vulnerable form. Despite my best efforts to resist, I felt a strange urge to go to her, to comfort her in any way I could. But I knew that was unnecessary, and it would only compromise everything I stood for as an Alpha, and as a person. I wasn't that kind, and nothing was going to change that. "What am I doing?" I muttered to myself
Kayden's POVI and Amelia and our kids are so happy with ourselves.I recall when Amelia and I first met before she became my mate. Now depending on each other has been what helped us strive.The gods definitely had our lives well thought of as they just gave me a partner that substitutes my flaws and does not let my bad side be a point of judging me.In my own way I have tried to balance loving my Amelia and my kids the same way, not letting one party feel less loved than the other.“Honey do you know why I love you so much?” I asked my Amelia.“No,” Amelia replied.“It is because of how well you have proven to love me, and returning to me full heartedly after 3 years it means a lot to me,” I said.“You know I will always do,” Amelia added.When I found out i have kids, I did not really know how to react or behave as a Dad.Being an Alpha has made me think all relationships I have with others should be formal. I faced same issue in my early days in marriage but since I was comfortab
Amelia's POV The night before I was supposed to be taken to the Baroque pack, an unexpected knock came at the back door of the palace. Kayden and I exchanged a short look, our nerves on edge from the events of the past days. Kayden moved to answer it, gesturing for me to stay back. He opened the door slowly, and there stood Alpha Waylen. "Waylen," Kayden growled, stepping protectively in front of me. “How are you here?” He asked sharply. Waylen sighed and rubbed his hands together. "What do you want?" Kayden asked again before Waylen got the opportunity to answer. Waylen raised his hands in a gesture of peace. "I mean no harm. I came bearing a gift."Behind Waylen, the children walked out from behind him, looking unharmed but confused. “Ohhh.” I exclaimed with pleasure. And I pushed past Kayden, rushing to scoop them up in my arms."Mommy!" they cried, their tiny voices screaming as they held me tightly. I hugged them tightly, tears streaming down my face. "You're safe. Th
Amelia's POVKayden had planned a special evening for us. After everything that had happened, he wanted to spend some time alone, away from the pack's responsibilities and the threats. We decided to have dinner at the edge of the pack around the courtyard, a serene spot where we could watch the sunset. The air was crisp, and the sound of rustling leaves added a sweet sound to our quiet conversation.“It's actually quite beautiful how this place is now,” I said looking around. “It seems like I'm seeing everything from a whole new perspective, everything feels so different now.” Kayden smiled, reaching out to hold my hand. “I'm glad things are different now, we need moments like these especially with everything going on.” I nodded, feeling a warmth move through me as I looked into his eyes. “You're right, it's been a tough few days.” We sat there, enjoying the peace and comfort of staying with each other. The sun began to set and the sky turned to shades of orange and pink, I fel
Alpha Kayden's POVI stood in front of the entire pack, I had called for an important meeting. I could feel a sense of responsibility as they stared at me with expectation and curiosity. The morning was still early, a heavy silence Hung in the air, broken only by the rustle of leaves. I walked up and stood on the podium. Beside me was Ramona, standing with her hands cuffed and a smug look on her face. I took a deep breath, feeling that this was coming. "Everyone, look to the podium," I began, my voice echoing across the courtyard. "Before you stand Ramona, a traitor to the Paxon pack."There was a murmur of shock and anger among the crowd. Ramona's eyes spinned around, taking in the hostile stare directed at her. She tried to maintain her composure, but I could see the flicker of fear in her eyes."Ramona planned to leak important secrets to the Bluemoon pack," I continued, my voice steady. "Because she couldn't get her way, she resorted to treachery. She deceived some of our own
Alpha Waylen's POV “Are you okay Alpha?” Luke's voice echoed through the room, interrupting my thoughts. I turned around and he was standing by the doorway, his hands folded and he had a pitiful look on his face. “What?.” I asked sarcastically. “Do you think I'm losing my mind.. going crazy?” I stood up and began to walk towards him.“I..I would never think that Alpha.” He said with a stutter. He began to move backwards, as though I was a monster. I didn't blame him, it was normal. I had killed almost a dozen of my men who were on patrol the night Amelia snuck out to see Alpha Kayden. That was what they deserved for not doing their Jobs properly.“The plan didn't go as you wanted it Alpha.” He whispered under his breath. I was now in front of him. I smiled and placed my hand on his shoulder. “Don't you think I know that Luke?” I said with a chuckle. “Three werewolves I sent after them and two survived. I knew that was going to happen, it was just a message. They should kno
Alpha Kayden's POV"What's wrong, Julius? What's this about Ramona?" I asked calmly. Anything that had to do with Ramona, meant trouble and I knew that quite well. Julius took a deep breath, his expression serious "It's not something I can explain, Alpha. But I think you need to see this for yourself." He gestured for me to follow him.I hesitated for a moment, glancing back at the window where Amelia slept peacefully. But my sense of duty to my pack was more my personal desires, there were guards protecting Amelia and the kids after all. I turned and followed Julius, my footsteps quick and purposeful.The night was quiet and the only sound one could hear was our footsteps as we walked. We reached a huge door and I knew what usually went in there, it was our torture room. A place that I haven't used in a while. Julius took a deep breath and pulled the door open, he walked in and I followed behind. As I stepped through the threshold, the sight that greeted me sent a chill down my sp
Alpha Kayden's POV“What do we do next?” Amelia asked me quietly as we laid together on the bed. I pushed a stray lock from her face and sighed. “What do you want to do?” I replied. She sighed and pulled away but I held her and dragged her closer to myself. I could smell her, she smelt like heaven. “Don't pull away Amelia.” I pleaded with a smile on my face. “I wouldn't do that.” She whispered softly, trying to hide her happiness. I nodded, pulling Amelia close to me once more. "You're right, we've been apart for far too long. I can't stand the thought of being separated from you any longer." I said, losing myself in her eyes. Amelia blushed, her cheeks flushing with pink. "Kayden, I feel the same way. These past months have been so difficult without you." She reached up, tracing the line of my jaw with her fingertips. I couldn't resist any longer. I leaned in, pressing my lips to hers in a slow, tender kiss. She melted into me, her arms wrapping around my neck. The world fell
Amelia's POVThe moon was now out, its light guiding us through the woods. I took a quick glance at Kayden's body and saw marks all over. I sighed and swallowed hard.I couldn't connect the dots as to why we were attacked. It didn't make sense for Alpha Waylen to attack us when he knew, or was deceived to think that he was outnumbered, and still that wasn't his way, he had honor at least, so there was no way it was him. Kayden pulled me closer to himself, holding me tightly more than usual. I could smell the strong scent of his cologne mixed with the smell of sweat. He looked down on me and smiled, kissing me on my forehead. “We're here.” Alpha Kayden said to me smiling, as he fixed his attention on the crowd of buildings in front of us. The Paxon pack had changed so much, and I could tell by just standing at the gate. I hesitated, slowing down as I did. “Are you okay?” He asked me as he noticed how uncomfortable I looked. I smiled at him, trying not to make everything about m
Amelia's POVI knew I had hurt him, and part of me wished I could go back and make things right. But I had made my choice, and now I had to live with the consequences.Kayden and I walked in silence for a while, trekking through the woods, the only sound was the crunching of leaves beneath our feet. The air was slightly filled with tension and I couldn't help but wonder what was going through his mind. After what felt like an eternity, Kayden finally broke the silence."Amelia," he said, his voice soft and gentle. "Are you okay?"I let out a deep sigh, my shoulders slumping slightly, I had been waiting for him to ask. "I- I don't know, Kayden. I'm happy, the happiest person right now, but I also feel so guilty. Waylen kept Freya hostage, and I had the chance to defend her, but I didn't. What if he hurts her?"Kayden reached out and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry Amelia, Freya is safe with Waylen for now.” He said confidently. I pulled away from his touch sligh
