Alpha KaydenWe left the pack compound and headed into the dense woods, I could feel small shivers going through my body. I was tense, and it was obvious why. “Get a hold of yourself Kayden.” My wolf's voice ran through my mind, it had been a while since I heard him speak. “I'm okay.” I responded stubbornly. I could hear a small growl, sounding like a sarcastic sound for. “I can't argue with you.” The air was heavy and strong with the scent of pine and earth, the sounds of rustling leaves and distant wildlife echoing through the trees.We walked in silence, each of us lost in our own thoughts. I looked around and each of their faces were emotionless, exactly the way I would want it to be. Eventually, we reached the spot where the sentinels were stationed before, their absence marked the danger that could be lurking in the woods. “Is it right?” I turned and asked Julius who was behind me. He nodded, his eyes not leaving the spot that I was pointing to him. I stopped and obser
Alpha KaydenHe was tall and imposing, his muscular frame suggesting that he was athletic, and strong. Despite his intimidating appearance, there was a certain air of calmness about him that made the whole situation less serious.His eyes and whole composure showed that he was calm, and wasn't totally bothered. He continued walking and then slowed down when he got close to Julius, who still had a tight grip on the guard's neck."I'm Alpha Waylen," he introduced himself, his voice deeper than I expected. . " I ask with all the kindness that you please release my guard." He said calmly, with a small smile on his face, or was it a smirk, the fuck?Julius hesitated for a moment, exchanging a glance with me. I sighed and nodded, he looked around, and then at Alpha Waylen, hesitated for a while, before finally loosening his grip on the guard's neck. I nodded in approval, he was getting pissed, and only I knew how to calm him down. "You must be the Alpha," Waylen said, turning his att
Chapter 69Alpha KaydenWaylen's words greeted my ears, a surge of anger went through my veins, threatening to consume me entirely.How dare he dismiss the seriousness of our situation? How dare he stand there with that smug smile on his face, as if he had done nothing wrong?Without another thought, I rushed forward, my hands closing around Waylen's neck in a tight grip. His eyes widened in shock as I pinned him against the nearest tree, my fingers digging into his flesh as I burned with rage. "It's your fucking business because you and your fucking pack entered where you weren't supposed to," I spat angrily, my voice dripping with venom."You violated our territory, and now someone from my pack is missing. Don't you dare pretend like you had nothing to do with it."My voice echoed through the woods, causing the birds and other creatures to run into chaos. Waylen struggled to speak, his face turning red as he gasped for breath under my tightening grip. His men rushed forward,
AmeliaI paced back and forth across the room, my mind racing with worry and anxiety. It had been over an hour since he left, and there was still no sign of him.. I couldn't help but wonder what could be taking him so long. I had looked through the window like a hundred times and I was beginning to feel that I was overthinking. Maybe I should go see things for myself, and maybe it wasn't how I thought it was, chaos. Me bringing bad luck to the pack. With a sigh, I walked towards the door confidently, hoping to catch a glimpse of what was happening outside. But as soon as I stepped into the hallway, I was met by a stern-looking guard who blocked my path.“Hello.” I said softly, with a smile on my face, trying to change his mood which was obviously uncompromising. “Miss Amelia.” He said calmly, his expression not changing. I nodded and tried walking down the hallway but he held out his hand to stop me. "Miss Amelia, I'm afraid I can't let you out," he said firmly, his voice allowi
AmeliaI glanced at her, wondering if I should clear the air about my relationship with Alpha Waylen.But ultimately, I decided against it. It was better that Freya kept her thoughts to herself, rather than potentially revealing something that could complicate matters further.I didn't want her asking questions that would turn out to be difficult to answer, it was better she kept fantasizing. Instead, I turned to her and asked, "Tell me about yourself, Freya. I don't know much about you."Freya's eyes lit up with excitement, as if she had been waiting for me to ask. "Oh, I thought you'd never ask," she exclaimed, a smile spreading across her face. "Well, where do I start?"I chuckled at her enthusiasm, gesturing for her to continue."Start from the beginning, or wherever you want," I replied, settling down on the couch and motioning for her to join me.Freya took a seat beside me, tucking her legs underneath her as she began to speak."Well, I come from a long line of servants who ha
Alpha KaydenThe strange sound echoed through the woods again, and this time it sounded more like a struggle, rather than what posed a threat. I turned to Julius and the others, signaling for them to clear the area. “Go check it out.” I whispered under my breath, careful not to give our position away. Julius nodded and turned his attention to where the sound was coming from. He waved to the others and in silence they moved, their steps deliberate. I glanced through the woods, checking for any sign of danger that might be near, my senses heightened. The rustling of leaves and branches added to the feeling of unease and suspense, I stood in the middle of the woods, with two other pack members with me and watched as Julius and the rest cautiously moved through the woods. Suddenly, Julius's voice pierced the silence with a sharp command. “Stop.” his voice echoed with urgency. I froze in my tracks, my heart pounding in my chest as I strained to see what had caused him to react th
Amelia's POV “What?.” I asked him, slightly shocked at his request. I smiled nervously, looking Into his eyes to see if something was wrong, maybe I did something that made him want to know… or his question connected to what happened a few hours ago. “Are you okay?.” He asked, he probably had noticed the nervous look in my eyes and how suddenly uncomfortable I had become, but he didn't seem like he was going to change his mind about anything. "Why do you suddenly want to know about my past?" I asked, trying to hide the discomfort in my voice. His sudden interest in my history caught me off guard, and I couldn't help but wonder what had prompted this change in topic.Alpha Waylen smiled from where he was still seated, he looked calm and in control of the moment. "I've been meaning to ask you," he admitted softly, his tone sincere. "But I wanted you to settle in first, to feel comfortable enough to share."I smiled awkwardly and nodded. I wanted to give him the indication that I
Amelia's POV“Freya.” My voice was hoarse from all the emotions that I was trying to control. She looked nervous and the smile she had on her face had suddenly disappeared. It was clear that she wasn't used to being in the Alpha's presence. She looked at me and then her eyes drifted downwards to my hand which Alpha Waylen was still holding. I pulled my hands away and stood up from where I was towards her. “Alpha.” She said quickly, as she greeted Waylen. He smiled, nodded and waved. I turned to look at his face to catch his expression, but there was nothing to see. He sighed, stood up and walked towards the window. “Come on, let me help you.” I said to Freya as I turned towards her. I lifted the tray which contained different fruits and food and placed it gently on the table. “I'm sorry for barging in.” She said softly, her eyes on the floor and her shoulders bent. I placed my hand on her face and smiled. “It's okay.” I whispered to her. “I should leave.” Freya repli
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
