The next morning, she refused to stay in the hospital, even when Liam tried to tell her she still needed to be observed before she could be discharged. She didn't want to stay another second in the hospital because she wanted to go home and check her admission status on her phone, and she didn't want any of her family to come back to the hospital to check up on her.She quickly left the hospital early in the morning, to which Liam also helped her get a cab that would take her home. "Thank you so much. I really appreciate it." She said, bowing her head a little, to which he also nodded before she entered the car.He watched the car move down the street away from the hospital until he couldn't see it again. He sighed, feeling pity for the girl. He couldn't understand why his brother was acting so strangely. He made her go to the red forest, which got her poisoned. He was still the same one who went to the forest to get the antidote, and now he was nowhere to be found. Abandoning the rec
Two days later. She had done all her registration for her new school. Even though Aiden had been giving her silent treatment for the past four days, she also didn't think too much of it. In fact, she was pleased. She did not try to change his mind about allowing her to live on campus, nor did she say a word to him about school; she just kept everything in between the both of them, not saying a word to each other.Lectures had started weeks ago, and she knew she had a lot to catch up on, and there was no need to waste more time than start receiving her lectures immediately.She made breakfast for Aiden that morning, which he didn't eat. Ever since she started working for Aiden, she has learned the habit of cooking food in a small amount. Given the fact that she doesn't like wasting food, she would cook a little or not cook hers at all so that she could eat it if Aiden didn't eat.She got into a long sleeves dark blue top with black trousers, and not to forget her scarf, which she wrap
The next morning was Friday. She left for school after Aiden had left, but still she couldn't catch up with her morning lectures. "Amelia. Why are you just coming?" Alicia asked, looking at Amelia, who was still trying to catch her breath because of how she had run. Amelia noticed that the lecture had ended. "Oh my goodness. I missed the class." She said, holding her chest, but Alicia just smiled. "It's a written attendance, so I wrote for you today." Alicia whispered, still smiling.Amelia looked at Samantha, who was behind Alicia, and tried to greet her, but the girl just turned to Alicia. "I guess I'll leave before you if you're not ready.""Hey wait." Alicia said, but the girl did not even look back; she just stormed out, almost hitting Amelia."Come on. Let's go to the library." Alicia said, but Amelia just smiled weakly. "It's fine. I'll just stay here.""Is it about Samantha? She's not usually like that, probably just going through some phase." Alicia said, but Amelia just smi
"Oh my gosh! Gamma Jason." Valerie called out happily. She wasn't hoping to see the third brother. The only handsome Gamma ever. Handsome, hot, and tall like his other two brothers. Brown hair and dark eyes like that of Aiden except Liam, who has blue eyes.At that point she felt jealous. Maybe not jealous, anger at her sister, whose eyes were also at the three brothers coming down the stairs."So this is the beauty I've been searching for." Jason said, standing before Amelia, who was looking scared and confused. "I'm Jason Flea." He stretched his hand towards her.Amelia looked at Aiden, who was behind them, looking at her with no emotions before looking back at Jason. "I'm Amelia Savage." She returned the handshake and smiled weakly before taking back her hand.Suddenly, Valerie moved closer and stood beside Amelia, facing Jason. "Nice to meet you. I'm Valerie. Amelia's sister."Jason also shook her hands before looking back at Aiden with a smile. "Another beauty in the house. You s
Finally, it was Monday. She has been worried sick all through the weekend, even though she still tried to keep her mind off it. But what happened on Saturday really broke her. She had stopped having dreadful dreams about her dad telling her she had killed her mom a long time ago, but last night it happened again.She doesn't even remember her mom, but she could still remember how she carried that guilt and blame for years. She would always tell herself she had killed her mom. Even her stepmother and sister, Valerie, would always remind her of those painful words her father used to say, which made her always try to avoid people those years back. She would do her things alone, even in high school. Go to school alone, talk to no one, and come back alone. She was just starting to get close to people even though she didn't know how or how to relate well.Her lectures for that day started at ten in the morning, and she quickly left the house immediately after Aiden went to work.She got to
"Just a few days in school, and all this is already happening to me. Now I accept. I was born with nothing but bad luck. I should just quit school; that's the best decision now." She cried, wailing as her face had turned swollen and red. She cried for a long time, telling herself to just quit her dream and give up, but after a while she stopped crying and still advised herself she couldn't give up yet. "Even though that witch could get me killed. I can't let go of everything I've done to get this."She left her room and stayed in the sitting room for a long time until it became dark. "I should just tell him even if it means I have to plead on my knees." She thought as she waited for him. She couldn't even cook dinner, but she just hoped he wouldn't mention his food, because that would mean she was done for.Around eight in the night, he opened the door and walked in, with his assistant behind him. Amelia also quickly stood up and went towards him. "Welcome."He looked at her and saw h
She got back home and took a long nap, and she only woke up in the evening. Her body ached, especially her neck, and she was so tired that she thought of sleeping, but she knew she had to prepare dinner.It was already becoming late. She quickly made his dinner and was setting the table when she saw him coming from the stairs. She quickly placed his cutlery and moved away. "Good evening." She greeted him, but as usual, no reply.He sat on the chair and started eating, but just when he glanced at her, he saw something shocking. It was as if he knew something had happened to her. That was why he looked at her side.Suddenly, he dropped the cutlery, making Amelia look at his side before looking away. "What's wrong with him? Did I do something again?" She thought as she could feel his gaze on her.He had been ignoring whatever had been going on with her, but at that point he couldn't hold himself any longer. "What's that mark on your neck?"She touched her neck slightly as if she didn't k
The next morning, she had planned not to go to school, but she still didn't want to miss her classes. She decided to muster up her courage again to go. "I just won't go to any empty place with her," she thought.As she walked slowly into the school, looking around to check who she wasn't hoping to see. She almost got to her faculty when she bumped into someone. "I'm so sorry," she said, rubbing her forehead as she looked up at the person. It was Jace. She became quiet all of a sudden, not knowing what to say."It's fine." He said before walking away.Amelia felt as if he waited for her to say something, but when she couldn't find her words, he just walked away. She looked back at him and watched him walk away, until she also walked into the building.As she entered the class, she moved towards the back of the class to sit there when she saw Alicia and Samantha. "Amelia. Over here." Alicia said, waving her hand in the air to show her a seat she had kept for her.Amelia also looked at h
It was finally evening. The person who called her told her the manager would only be around at seven in the evening, and that's only when she could see him.She got to the restaurant but still didn't meet the manager. "I'll wait for him," she said to the waiter before walking towards an empty table. The restaurant was large and beautiful, with a fresh scent of flowers in between each table. Several people were having their dinner. She didn't expect she would be accepted to work as a waiter, and it's a pretty decent pay. She can work for some time and get a small apartment.She sat down and looked around until her eyes met a glass barricade. It was another part of the restaurant that was separated from where she was. Perhaps a VIP area. The side looked much bigger, with comfy seats. And there weren't a lot of people there. She noticed a familiar figure talking on the phone."Is that not Carrie? She's the one," she said to herself as she watched her. "Did she come with Aiden?" she thou
She got back home to meet Alicia pacing in the room. "Amelia. I was worried you weren't back yet." She said as she opened the door for her."I'm sorry I got you worried," Amelia replied, as she sat down. Alicia walked back to her after closing the door and sat beside her. "So tell me. How did you know Aiden Flea?" She asked with excitement written all over her face while Amelia just stared at her, surprised. "Aiden Flea?" She asked."Yes. Wasn't he the one who came to get you last night? Gosh! He's so hot. His voice and the way he carried you in his arms, girl." Alicia said, fanning her face as she talked, but when she realized Amelia was just looking at her weirdly, she controlled herself. "Sorry. I got carried away." She smiled, to which Amelia also chuckled.She knew she must have seen him last night when he came to get her. But why would he carry her in his arms in front of everyone? She couldn't even remember a thing about what happened. I... He... He was my boss." She stuttere
He needed a place for her to rest and sober up, and his house wasn't a choice as it was occupied.He called Eric to book a hotel suite for him nearby, which he did. Eric sent him details of the hotel, and he drove there. She was already sleeping when he got there. He went to her side and carried her in his arms as he entered the hotel.She was in his arms until he got to the room. He walked to the bedroom and placed her carefully on the bed. "Gosh. I wonder how much she drank." He sighed as he stared at her flushed face.He reduced the brightness of the room for her to sleep well, but it was not so dark that he couldn't see. He left to go have a shower. He wished she could also take a bath so she could sleep well, but he couldn't touch her, especially when she was not in her right senses.He stood under the cold shower for about half an hour, reminiscing about what had happened. He was thankful he got there on time. He couldn't wonder what could have happened to her if he arrived late
She got back home. Her thoughts had diverted from her priority of job finding. She couldn't unsee what she saw at the restaurant. He got her food for her cravings. They looked so happy together. The thought of it only made her want to cry. She fell for him, but he didn't have any feelings harbored for her. She thought so highly of herself. "But why make her feel special? He got her movie tickets. He worries about her. And he... he kissed her. Was it all a lie? He couldn't even think of her once. It's only been two days." She thought.Tears fell out of her eyes as she thought about him. It got worse when Alicia walked in after coming back from class. "What's wrong, Amelia?" She ran towards her, but Amelia's cries increased. "I... I fell..."Where did you fall?" Alicia asked. She only heard brief words because of her stutters from her loud crying."I... fell for him... I shouldn't have. He has a mate. And she's pregnant." She cried loudly. Alicia pulled her into a hug. She didn't unde
She went back to Alicia's house. She had made sure she cleaned her face and tears to avoid suspicions from Alicia. "I've been waiting for you. I made breakfast already, but I ate when you didn't come on time. You can make something for yourself. Juice is in the fridge." Alicia said. She sat in the sitting room, watching a movie, when Amelia entered. "Thank you. Can I talk to you? I need your help," Amelia said. She was less bothered about the food. She wasn't even feeling hungry. "What is it?" Alicia paused what she was watching and asked."Can... I stay with you for a week or two. I'll get a job and move out before you know it." She gawked at her, hoping she would accept. It took a lot of confidence for her to say that."I even thought it was something serious. Of course, you can stay over." Alicia said with a chuckle. "Thank you so much. I appreciate it." Amelia smiled while Alicia just shook her head. "Go and make your breakfast."She only drank half a glass of juice and two pan
"Stop!" Vera said, still sitting in her seat. "No one will leave until the matter is solved, and the meeting is concluded." She looked like she was talking to Amelia because her gaze was on her."I know what's going on here. No one can determine my mate." He said, looking at his mother with no emotions. Vera stood up. She looked angry, so also was Aiden. "We can't, but we can choose our Luna." Vera looked at the elders. "Begin.""Mother." Liam walked towards her to calm her down, but the woman's anger was more than that. "Stay out of this, Liam."Aiden kept looking at his mother. He finally let go of Amelia when she pulled her hand away from him. She walked to where she was before, while Aiden just stood where he was.The elders looked at themselves and took that as an opportunity to continue. "In no history, has it been heard that an alpha has two mates. Only a Luna can be selected. And today, we're gathered here to rectify that." One of the elders spoke."Yes. They both have the ma
She had been awake all morning. She couldn't get a good night's sleep because she couldn't stop thinking about last night. She had to hold everything in and pretend to smile in front of Alicia, even though she knew Alicia suspected something was wrong with her.She lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Alicia had woken up and left the room, but she pretended she was still asleep.She was still in thought when the door opened and Alicia walked in. "Good morning," Alicia said. It was too late to pretend.She rose and greeted her back with a smile. "Good morning.""Are you okay?" She heard Alicia ask suddenly, which surprised her."I'm fine," Amelia replied with a smile, but it only seemed Alicia could see beyond her smile. "You know you can tell me anything, Amelia." Amelia was quiet for a while. She thought she might have invaded her privacy. "I'm sorry I didn't inform you about staying over.""You know that's not what I'm talking about. There's nothing bad about coming over. But
None of them said a word to one another until the car stopped in front of a club. "As much as I don't support alcohol. I think we all need it right now," Liam said as he stepped out of the car. Jason and Aiden also stepped out. They all entered into the club. It wasn't noisy. Just a few people having fun. They made their way to the bar."Order something less alcoholic for yourself, Liam. We don't want a case where we would drag you out of the club drunk." Jason said, laughing, but Liam just shook his head without a word. Aiden gulped his glass of whiskey in a go. He didn't say a word or look at them, even though their gaze was on him."Are you okay?" Liam asked him, but still, he didn't look up at him. "How did it happen, Aiden? The last time, you only told me she was back, and she still has the mark."Jason interrupted before Aiden could reply. "You knew she was back?" He asked Liam, to which he also nodded. "Wow. And you both didn't tell me about it. I'm the only lost one here." H
She chuckled lightly as she gazed up at the building. It had been months since she last set foot there. She had received a tip from her boss that Aiden came to the pack's house.She knew what she had come there for. It was the only way she had. Revealing she's back as Aiden's first mate to the entire pack. She couldn't wait to see the look on Amelia's face.She walked into the house. The hall where the party was held. It was full of guests who were all minding their business.She needed chaos for her plan. The guests faced the window as they all counted down to the new year. "Three... Two... One... Happy New Year." The room erupted in cheers and laughter as fireworks exploded above. She ignored the commotion, her gaze scanning through the crowd until she spotted Vera.A sly smile played on her lips as she made her way toward her. "Happy New Year, Mother." She greeted with a smile.Vera also looked at her. She couldn't believe her eyes. "What are you doing here? How dare you think of c
