Alpha Kayden“Alpha.” One of the guards greeted, his head and eyes down and avoiding mine. Looking into the Alpha's eyes meant that he wanted a place deep inside one of the dungeons, but no one ever dared to do so. “I need to see one of the prisoners.” I said, my voice steady and firm. He nodded and signaled to the other guard who did the same. I could hear the noise as the different and heavy locks were being opened. “This was my idea of how a prison should be, even without the locks, the thickness of the iron door already made it impossible to escape. The doors creaked, and swung open and the first thing that greeted my nostrils was the stench. The unmistakable smell of death, already rot, and decomposing bodies. I turned to them and nodded, signaling for them to go back to their positions. They nodded in obedience and walked back to their post. Stepping into the dim corridor , I felt the heaviness of the oppressive atmosphere. The walls seemed to close in around me, as if
AmeliaI stood up and walked towards the door, I tightened my fist and brought it close to the door. “No…what am I doing?.” I muttered in a low voice, and pulled myself away from the door. I wasn't comfortable here, partly because of what I had heard and also the smell from the room was nauseating. I sighed and walked round the room, the bed sheets were clean, but smelt like it hadn't been used in ages. For the first time I was beginning to feel bad about my decision to escape from Alpha Kayden, maybe I should have just stayed. I pressed my forehead with my fingers, the small headaches were back, and my legs were getting weaker. I walked slowly towards the window and stood in front of it. “I'm sorry Alpha Kayden, I had no choice.” I muttered under my breath. I sighed and pushed the curtains open, it was now all dark, and the partying had stopped. I looked up and there was no light from the sky, there were only clouds, rain clouds. The structures were different from the way i
Amelia“What… don't you like it here?.” Freya asked, she looked surprised at my reaction, as though I was rejecting what she could only dream of “No.. that's not it.”. I replied quietly, I had to calm her down before she made the worst out of nothing. “If you don't mind me asking, why did you sound.. I don't know, somehow?.” I smiled and looked at her, she was obviously intelligent. There was a stark difference between her and Claire, with the way she dressed, and how clean she and the others looked, it was obvious that they were created well, everything here seemed to be the opposite of what it was back home. Even though it wasn't all that bad, I just didn't want to believe that everything was so perfect, there had to be something… well apart from the weird ladies, it seemed everything here at the blue moon pack was crafted to perfection. “I've never been in such a place like this, it feels too much, like I don't deserve it, that's why.” She smiled and nodded her head like
AmeliaI pulled away from him slightly, wiping the tears from my eyes as I did. It was miserable enough to be rescued when I was helpless. But now to be seen as clumsy was even more embarrassing. I have been very vulnerable in his presence more than I intend. I sighed and tried to gather the broken glass, but he held my hand. “Stop trying, you'll hurt yourself.” He said to me, he was clearly serious about me not hurting myself, so I decided to listen and not make things more difficult for him and for myself as well. I sat in the bed, and he did as well, but in a reasonable distance from me. And then he began to laugh, it started with a smile, then it got wider and turned into a chuckle, and then laughter. I looked at him with puzzled eyes, trying to figure out what was going through his mind. “Why would you even think of moving the picture?" He asked. He was covering his face slightly, as if he was trying desperately to suppress the laughter, and I couldn't tell for sure w
Alpha KaydenWalking towards the huge metallic door, my senses were again greeted by the strong stench of death. I slightly considered the idea of releasing the doctor, but that would probably convey the wrong message about who I was, and how ruthless I could be. I turned to the guard whom I first met when I entered. “You're in charge now.” I said to him firmly. He nodded and smiled briefly, he knew it was his time now, and had probably been waiting for it, his prayer now would be not to end up like the previous person. “Thank you Alpha.” He replied. I nodded and continued walking, Ramona was still behind me, increasing her steps like a child begging to be breast-fed. As soon as we were out of earshot, I turned to her, blood in my eyes. “Don't you ever interrupt me when I'm carrying out my business, you are chewing more than you can handle, because you're nothing to me, you mean absolutely nothing. Let that sink.” She nodded in quick succession, and for the first time since her
Amelia's POV'Get it together Amelia.' I whispered to myself. I placed my hand on my head, rubbing my forehead softly. It seemed as though Alpha Waylen had performed magic because the headache was gone, and I suddenly felt lightheaded. “I guess it's time for bed.” I walked towards the bed and before lying on it I stopped and looked around the room. For the first time I noticed how huge it was. I stood in the center of the room, the bed getting all of my attention . It seemed to dominate the space, leaving me feeling exposed and vulnerable. I sighed and scratched my head, maybe I should do something about it. "I hope I don't cause another chaos," I whispered to myself, a nervous knot forming in my stomach. But I knew I couldn't spend another night feeling so unsettled and uncomfortable. Gathering all the courage I could muster, I moved towards the bed, determined to make it more to my liking. I glanced around the room, half-expecting someone to come rushing in to stop me, but
Amelia's POVMy heart was still pounding in my chest as I sat up in bed, what remained of the dream was still stuck in my mind. I turned towards my side and saw the soft light filtering through the curtains, it was morning already. It took me a moment to realize that it had all been a dream—a terrifying, surreal nightmare.I let out a shaky breath and ran a hand through my hair, feeling the dampness of sweat on my forehead. Gripping the pillow tightly, I tried to calm my racing thoughts. "Fucking hell," I muttered under my breath, the curse slipping out before I could stop it.Just then, a sharp knock on the door startled me, causing me to jump in surprise. "Shit," I cursed again, my heart still pounding in my chest. With trembling hands, I pushed myself out of bed and made my way towards the door, trying to steady my nerves.I felt the urge to ask who it was, but I didn't have the strength to. I fumbled with the locks, which made me question how Alpha Waylen entered the room with
Alpha KaydenAs if on cue, a loud cheer erupted throughout the room, the sound bouncing off the walls and echoing into the night.Raising my other hand to quiet down the noise, I waited until the cheers subsided before addressing the pack. "Thank you," I continued, my voice carrying authority and conviction. "But we have much to discuss."The room grew quiet once more as all eyes turned towards me, waiting for my next words.I stood at the podium, turning my eyes from left to right. The tension in the room was evident, hanging thick in the air like a heavy fog. "For years, we have coexisted peacefully with the other packs," I continued, my gaze sweeping across the gathered faces. "But now, the Blue Moon pack wants to take that for granted."Murmurs of agreement went through the crowd, it was obvious they felt and thought the same thing, even though they didn't have any choice. "We cannot allow this disrespect to go unanswered," I continued, I could now feel the anger through my tee
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
