Alpha Waylen's POVI rushed towards the door and held the knob. “Alpha wait!” Luke's voice called out to me, I stopped in my tracks, turned around with my heart in my mouth. “What is it Luke?” I asked sharply, trying to keep my voice steady. Luke hurried over to me, a serious expression on his face. "Alpha Chad is up to something," he said, his voice low. "I just saw him speaking with some of the pack members outside. They seemed to be gathering."I frowned and a surge of anger coursed through me. "What?" I exclaimed. "I thought you said everything was under control!" Luke held up his hands, trying to calm me down "I know, Alpha, and I'm sorry. I thought I had the situation handled, but it seems Chad is more cunning than we realized." He paused, then continued, "I think you should come and see for yourself."I hesitated for only a moment, then nodded and followed Luke to the window. I leaned forward and looked down and I saw Alpha Chad surrounded by a group of my pack members, a
Amelia's POVI moved back slowly away from the window, and even though I wouldn't want to accept it, the truth was staring in front of me. Two Alpha's were fighting for me. And Alpha Waylen had just lost a quarter of his men to Alpha Chad. “Fuck.” I whispered as the look in Alpha Waylen's eyes from last night and from just now flashed through my mind. “What are you going to do?” I heard Freya's voice from behind me, pulling me out of my own thoughts. The question she just asked me was still echoing in my mind and I just asked myself the same question. “I don't know.” I whispered back, hoping she would hear me. I turned around and saw her sitting on the bed with Charles who was resting his head on her leg. “He seems to have taken a good liking to you.” I said to her with a smile on my face. Charles was different and I knew why. He looked like his father in so many ways and the more I looked at him, the more he reminded me of Kayden.“Maybe it's because I'm always here.” She
Alpha Waylen's POVThe blast of the horn startled me, and I instinctively rushed towards the window, looking out to see what was happening. I could see Luke rushing towards the gate. “What's going on?” Amelia asked, I could hear the fear in her voice as she joined me by the window. I shook my head, squinting my eyes as I tried to see more. "I'm not sure, but the guards have sounded the alarm. It could be a threat to the pack."Amelia's eyes widened, and she gripped my arm tightly. "Do you think it's Alpha Chad?" she asked, her voice trembling.I pursed my lips, considering the possibility. "It's a possibility," I admitted, my jaw tightening. "He's made his intentions clear, and he won't hesitate to attack if he thinks he can get what he wants."Without another word, I turned towards the door, I had to be in the frontline if something bad was going to happen . But I paused, my hand on the doorknob, and looked back at Amelia. "Listen, I need you to take the children and lock yourselv
Amelia's POV I froze, unable to think. I tried to move but my leg wouldn't let me, all I could do was stare at the man whom my son looked exactly like. “Amelia.” He called my name again, and finally I was able to move. I wanted to move forward but I found myself moving backwards. What was going on.. was this a dream?, A nightmare of some sort.Kayden was much older now, with hair all over his face but his deep blue eyes still remained. I could feel my body tensing up and my heart threatening to explode. He began walking towards me, but Alpha Waylen stopped him. “Let me pass.” He said softly, I expected more. But he sounded like he was pleading rather than giving an order, something he was used to. My heart was pounding as Alpha Kayden took a step towards me. I could feel my body trembling, the memories from those days coming back in a rush. "Please, stay away from me," I managed to whisper, taking another step back unconsciously. My feelings concerning him hadn't changed, but i
Amelia's POV"Do you want me to escort you to your chamber?" He said softly, I turned to look at him for the first time that evening and he smiled, probably trying to calm me down, but it wasn't working. I hesitated for a moment, then nodded. I didn't want it to seem like I was pushing him away, I didn't want to give anyone a reason to feel terrible. Waylen placed his hand gently on my back, guiding me through the winding hallways towards my room. The warmth of his touch was comforting, and I found myself leaning slightly into him as we walked. He pressed his hand tightly against my back, and then shifted it downwards towards my waist. When we reached the door to my chamber, Waylen turned to me. For a moment we stood facing each other without saying anything. "Amelia, if you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm going to place a few guards outside your door, just to ensure your safety." He said as he broke the silence. I looked up at him, a small smile
Amelia's POVMy heart was pounding in my chest as I made my way through the winding hallways towards Alpha Waylen's chamber. The conversation I had with Freya had left me unsettled, and I needed answers. Something wasn't right, and I couldn't shake the feeling that Waylen was hiding something from me.I reached in front of the room, took a deep breath to steady my nerves. Raising my hand, I knocked gently, my pulse quickening with each passing second. The door swung open after a while. "Amelia," he said softly, his eyes scanning through me "I wasn't expecting you….yet, Is everything alright?"I offered him a small smile, trying to hide the storm of emotions that I was feeling inside. "I... I hope I'm not disturbing you, Alpha Waylen," I began, my voice barely above a whisper. "But I was hoping we could continue our conversation from earlier.Waylen's expression softened, and he stepped aside, gesturing for me to enter. "Of course, my dear. Please, come in."I stepped into the roo
Amelia's POVI rushed out of Alpha Waylen's chamber, I could feel my heart racing and my palms becoming sweaty. I quickly pressed my back against the wall, trying to steady my breathing. I had expected Alpha Waylen to come after me when I rushed out of the room, and tried to convince me further, but he didn't and that was totally fine with me. I stood there, my mind twisting and turning and trying to make sense of everything he had just told me. I totally understood everything from his point of view, but marrying him was something that felt too much and I wondered to myself if my reaction to his proposal would have been different if he didn't pin it to what was happening with Alpha Chad and Kayden. It was so easy to use circumstances as an excuse to get what you want and I felt like that was what he was doing. Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath willing my nerves to calm. I couldn't stay here, not with Alpha Waylen's words still playing through my mind and with the possibility
Alpha Kayden's POV“Are you sure we shouldn't force our way in?” Julius asked impatiently. I turned to look at him with a calm smile on my face. And for a moment, one would think that he was the one fighting for Amelia himself. But he was fighting for me, and I couldn't blame him for feeling the way I should.. it would. “I don't think we have to do that.” I whispered under my breath. Even if I was desperately thinking about that, I also had it in mind that our initial plan was still in motion. “And after this..what are you going to do?”Julius asked. I chuckled at his enthusiasm. He just had a child and I knew that he was desperate for me to experience the same. “We can't think of that now can we?” He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair."That cheating bastard.” He muttered, refreshing to Alpha Waylen. I looked around and sighed, the woods were now completely transformed into our own camp. I was not going to leave this place until I see Amelia and leave with her. I
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
