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
Alpha Kayden “What are you going to do to her?.” Julius asked me as we stepped into my office. I walked straight towards the couch and sat down on it. My breath was becoming labored, I couldn't focus. I had never failed before in anything, and now I had failed woefully in finding out where Amelia was, if she was alive or dead I couldn't tell. “I don't know.” I said to Julius, looking up to him from where I was. He walked towards the couch and sat down on a chair that was by the side. “What do you mean you don't know?.” he asked me. I could hear the disappointment in his voice. He wasn't asking because he wanted to know if I was going to punish her, he wanted to know what type of punishment I had for her. I was thinking, I couldn't get myself to talk, Ramona was the last person on my mind. “She's not important.” I whispered under my breath. I could see his face changing. He was trying his best to keep his cool, but I knew he was at the edge. “Well, she disobeyed you and to
Alpha Kayden's POV"Who is it?” I asked firmly, with the tone of my voice it was obvious that I didn't want to be disturbed. I watched as the door opened slowly in a low creak and she walked in. “Alpha.” She whispered in greeting as she bowed her head in what seemed respectful. “Who let you in?.” I asked roughly. She hesitated for a moment, a hint of fear in her eyes. “I…I came in on my own,” she whispered softly, her tone somewhat sincere. I sighed and rolled my eyes, I wasn't going to have her nonsense, not anymore. I wasn't going to hold back anymore, she was nothing, and had proven time and time again that she wanted to be treated that way. Without a words I stood up from my chair and walked towards the door, my footsteps stamping against the floor with intent. I threw the door open. “Julius!.” I called out in a fiery scream. “Beta Julius!”. I called out again, I could have as well called him through the mind link, but I wanted to pass a message to Ramona. There was no r
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
