"What's going on here?" Gary asked as he entered the room with a man behind him.Valerie ran to her father with tears in her eyes. "Didn't you see the news that had been going around? Amelia has deceived us all." She cried, knowing how much her father hated seeing her cry."Don't cry, Val. Talk to me. What news?" Gary asked, looking from Amelia back to Valerie."Just look at her neck." Gary also walked towards Amelia, who just bowed her head a bit. He was shocked to see a mate mark on her. "She was marked, dad." Valerie said before giving her dad her phone to check the article.The article reads: The omega seduced the alpha of the shadowmoon pack.Gary looked at her and asked quietly. "What is the meaning of this, Amelia?""Please, I can explain. I didn't seduce him. I was mated to him." Amelia said with tears. She knew there was no reason to hide again. But Valerie just scoffed. "You liar! You were mated to him? Can you listen to yourself? Wait a second. Did you also get admission t
The next morning, she opened her eyes slowly and stayed in the same sleeping position before memories of last night started playing in her head. Never did she expect he could come to save her. "Or maybe he just came because he felt the bond?" She thought, touching her neck slowly. She found it hard to understand why the mark was still there.Nevertheless, she was still happy he saved her and allowed her to come back to the house, even though she felt embarrassed that he witnessed such a scene of her father.She rose from bed. Despite having slept for a long time, she still felt tired. She checked her phone and realized it was almost ten in the morning. "Oh my goodness! How could you sleep for so long?"She was back at the Alpha's house, and the only thing she could start with was to wake up late. "I hope he doesn't get angry." She said before she quickly ran to the bathroom, but her eyes caught sight of the grey gown she had worn to the party with him on the chair. She packed it and p
She sat down opposite the Luna while looking down at her toes and rubbing her sweaty hands together. She knew her eyes were on her.She couldn't move or look at the woman. How would she explain the situation to her—that it was a mistake she got mated to her son. She just hoped the woman would spare her life."Here is the water, Luna." The housekeeper said as she gave the Luna a glass of water. "Do you need anything else?""I'm fine. You can leave." The housekeeper also bowed her head before leaving the room.For about some minutes, the air was eerily silent until Amelia heard. "So that's why you covered your neck with a scarf?"Amelia looked up at her, only to see her sipping water with an unreadable expression. She quickly looked back down without a word. She didn't even know what to say."What's your name?" She heard, to which she also replied with her head still bowed. "Ame… Amelia savage.""OK, Amelia. Is it true you seduced my son just as the news stated." Amelia thought she hear
The next morning, she quickly woke up early to go back to her room. It was still a bit dark when she left. For the first time in her life, she couldn't sleep well. She kept waking up each time because her mind wasn't at rest, and she could guess the person she was scared of was sleeping peacefully even though she didn't see his face.She lay with her back on the bed, and her face looked up to the ceiling. She felt tired but knew she couldn't sleep because she wouldn't wake up on time.Suddenly, she rose from bed. Her mind drifted to what he said about sleeping with pills. She never expected he could tell her that, even though she noticed he didn't want to say it at first."But why would he tell me to sleep in his room?" She thought. She still couldn't put the pieces together, which made her think that it might be one of his plans to hurt her. But still, she felt it might not be it. She remembered different rumors she had heard about him, especially from her sister, Valerie. Some even
She entered the reception area to see a lady standing behind the counter. "Good morning, ma'am. What can I do for you?"I... she couldn't finish her words because she was carried away by the place. The reception area alone felt cool and cosy. She just wondered how their room and services would be. "I'm sorry. I was asked to come here... she didn't even know how to explain. She just gave the lady the card given to her by the Luna."Oh. Welcome. Please come with me." She heard the lady say with a smile, which made her wonder what the Luna had told her. She got even more scared, but she followed the lady through the hallway until they got to a room."You're five minutes late. I told you I hate tardiness." She heard the woman wrapped in a white towel, resting on a spa bed with two ladies beside her, say as she entered the room. Her skin was so clear and beautiful, and her long, dark hair rested on her back. She couldn't help but admire the woman, even if it was for a short period."I'm so
She went back home, looking worried and stressed. She had tried calling her father back, but he wasn't picking up, which made her more scared. "What should I do?" She asked herself before sitting on the chair. She knew what getting exiled from the pack could cause. They won't receive protection anymore, and no pack would be ready to take them because they're omegas. "Maybe I should have begged her." She was frustrated thinking about what to do. Finally, she thought she should beg the alpha. It would be best to break the bond soon, and she would beg and stop him from chasing her family from the pack.She impatiently waited for him in the living room. She didn't want to cook dinner, but she didn't have a choice. She was still working in his house as his maid.It was already dark when he came back. "Welcome." She said to him as he entered with Eric behind him, but as usual, he didn't say a word to her.Instead Eric greeted her. "Good evening, Miss Amelia. How are you doing?" Eric asked
Mature content. Read at your own risk. His eyes were wide open as he stared at the ceiling of his room. It was already morning, but he still felt tired. He couldn't get a good sleep because he couldn't stop thinking about what happened last night. She probably cried because of what the pack planned to do to her family, and he also made it worse.He didn't blame himself, but strangely, he was angry at himself for doing such a thing. She didn't come to his room, and he also didn't go to call her, but he was really worried she might still be crying. He kept having different thoughts until the day broke. "Gosh! Just stop thinking about her already."He took his bath and got ready for work. He wanted to leave early, and still, something in him wanted to see if she was okay.As he stepped out of his room and walked in the hallway, he saw her coming out of her room. He was taken aback, seeing her all of a sudden, and he hated he felt like that. He didn't say anything; he just stopped, looki
He sat in his office going through a file while his assistant stood in front of him. "It seems you're tired of your job, Eric. How could you keep making the same mistakes?" He asked as he dropped the file back on the table."I'm sorry I... Eric couldn't finish his word because they heard a ruckus coming from behind the door. He looked back at Aiden before walking swiftly towards the door to check who it is.As he opened the door and stepped out, immediately he was pushed back in by Mark, who entered the room."Alpha Aiden. How have you been?" He asked with a smile as he entered the room, but Eric tried to stop him. "Let go of me! Do you know who I am?!" He screamed at Eric, but still, the guy didn't pay attention to that. He was more focused on sending him out before the alpha would get angry.Aiden motioned for Eric to leave him. "You never listen, do you? You still have the guts to come into my office.""Are you angry at me? I thought you would like my gift. Looks like you didn't."
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
