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
Alpha Waylen's POVI stared into space, my mind replaying Amelia's expression, and her hasty exit from my chambers. It has almost been an hour since she left, and the silence was deafening. I had watched her calmly as she rushed out, avoiding the question I had asked her about not once, but twice. A small smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I played through her reaction in my mind. “Fuck” I muttered and stood up from where I was. I walked sluggishly towards the small bar in the corner of my room. I scanned through and then selected a bottle of premium whiskey.I unscrewed the cap and without the patience of pouring myself a glass, I brought it to my lips, taking a long satisfying gulp. The liquid burned as it went down my throat, but I didn't mind. I hoped that it cleared my mind and replaced the almost overwhelming feeling in my chest. "So, this is how you want to play it, Amelia?" I murmured to myself, the words echoing with a hint of frustration. "After all I've done fo
Alpha Waylen's POV The knock interrupted my thoughts, and I let out a frustrated sigh and walked towards the door, grabbed the knob and yanked it open with more force than necessary. To my surprise, it was Luke, standing on the other side. "What is it?" I demanded, my voice low and firm. “Alpha.” He muttered and moved forward, I sighed and let him, as I walked back into the room.His eyes widened slightly as he saw the state of the room, the shattered glass and the strong smell of alcohol. “I just wanted to check In to see if everything is alright.” He whispered. “It seems you're busy.” He added rather sarcastically. I frowned and faced him. “Is that supposed to be funny?” My face was dangerously close to his and I could feel his long, scared breath. “I'm sorry.” He whispered an apology swiftly. I studied him for a moment, wondering if I should tell him about my concerns regarding Amelia. But then I decided against it - this was a personal matter, and I didn't want to risk
Amelia's POVI scoffed, slightly surprised that Alpha Kayden uttered those words. "You love me?" I repeated, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "That's rich, coming from the man who forced me to run for my life."Kayden flinched at my harsh words, but he didn't back down. "Amelia, please just hear me out," he pleaded, taking a step closer to me.I took a step back, holding up my hand to keep him at a distance. "No, Kayden. I don't want to hear your excuses. You made it perfectly clear three years ago that you wanted nothing to do with me, even after I tried to explain.” He shook his head, I looked down and I saw that his hands were twitching. I had never seen him like that before. "That's not true, Amelia. I was a fool, a coward. I let my pride and my position blind me to what was truly important."I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest. "Oh, so now you're admitting that you were wrong? Forgive me if I don't exactly buy it."Kayden took a deep breath, running a hand through h
Alpha Waylen's POVI stood quietly in the shadows of the dense forest, watching the scene unfold before me with a mixture of shock and disbelief. My mouth hung open as I observed Alpha Kayden pull Amelia into his embrace and press his lips against hers. Part of me wanted to rush out and tear them apart, to show Kayden that he could not simply waltz back into Amelia's life and reclaim what was mine. But I knew I had to remain calm and collected – after all, I was an Alpha, and I needed to act as one.I ran my fingers through my hair, letting out a heavy sigh. "So this is what I get, Amelia?" I whispered softly, my voice echoing silently with a hint of bitterness and disappointment. I watched as Kayden pulled away, his eyes searching Amelia's face intently. She seemed stunned, her own eyes wide and her lips slightly parted. Then, she uttered the words that made my heart sink."I have children for you, Kayden. Triplets – two girls and a boy. He looks just like you."My fists clenched t
Alpha Waylen's POV I sighed and tightened my grip on Freya's hair, pulling her even closer. "Very well," I said, my voice dripping with disgust "If you want me to believe your story, then you'll have to prove your loyalty to me."Freya winced in pain, her hands gripping my wrist in an unfruitful attempt to free herself. "Please, Alpha Waylen," she begged, her voice shaking with fear. "I am loyal to you and this pack. I would never betray you, I swear it."I studied her face for a moment, my eyes scanning skeptically. "Actions speak louder than words, Freya," I said, my tone harsh. "And your actions last night suggest otherwise."I released my grip on her hair, but before she could react, I cupped her chin in my hand, forcing her to look at me "You know, my father always said that the greatest threat to a pack comes from within," I murmured, my thumb caressing her cheek. "And I'm starting to see the truth in that."Freya's eyes widened, and she shook her head frantically. "No, Alpha W
Alpha Waylen's POV I sighed and sat down behind the desk, I thought I was going to feel better, but I didn't. I knew Freya was just being loyal to Amelia and doing as she was told, but I had to show her somehow that I was in control. I stood up and walked towards the window, looking outside to see what was going on. In the corners of my mind, I could still hear Freya scream for mercy as Luke dragged her out. Just then, there was a soft tap on the door and I knew exactly who it was. I stood still, not moving from where I was. Amelia always opened the door by herself and she usually knocked twice. The second knock came in and after a while, the door swung open. “Alpha Waylen.” I heard her call my name and my heart skipped a beat. I closed my eyes and steadied myself. “Amelia.” I said softly, turning around to see her. She was like an angel, even more beautiful than yesterday. I tightened my fist, the thought of losing her to Kayden created more anger in me than I could control.
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
