They all looked shocked as he entered the room."You finally came," Jason said, breaking the silence."Aiden, oh my goodness. I can believe it," Vera said. She stood up and hugged him. Her eyes were almost teary as she stared at him. "Get another plate, please." She told the maids."I thought you were not coming," Jason said with a smile, but Aiden knew he was teasing him. He did not bother to say a word; he just sat beside Liam, gazing at Amelia, who was looking so uncomfortable. He only took his eyes off her when Jason added. "It seems Aiden also couldn't get enough of your beauty, Amelia. He seems lost."Amelia was so embarrassed. Jason was making everything worse for her, and the other two people in the room weren't helping either. They chuckled as he made his jokes. She thought she would get swallowed by the ground. But luckily for her, it didn't happen. Liam came to her rescue. "It's okay now, Jason. You can do this after eating.She finally eased up a bit, but she kept looking
He had to leave the room when he felt like he might suffocate soon. He walked towards the garden to get some fresh air. Weird things he couldn't give explanations to keep happening to him. He came to have dinner in the pack's house after a long time, for no good reason. And he couldn’t eat well because he couldn't stop staring at Amelia.He even remembered how she was smiling while eating, and that almost brought a smile to his lips. He got to a shed in the garden and took a seat for some time until Jason joined him there. "What are you doing here? Are you feeling hot?" Jason asked with a teasing smile, but Aiden did not say a word or spare him a glance."Is this because of my sister-in-law? Isn't she looking so pretty?" "I told you not to call her that again," Aiden snapped, to which Jason raised his hands. "Ok. I'm sorry." He sat next to him, and silence filled the air for some time until Aiden asked. "You bought the dress?"Jason looked at him. He wasn't expecting such a question.
"Are you sure you don't want to have dessert before going?" Vera asked, holding Amelia's hand.Liam and Jason had gone, leaving only her and Aiden. She didn't want to follow Aiden home, but she had no choice, especially when Jason had gone because he had important work. She felt Liam couldn't do anything to hurt Aiden, so she didn't do anything, even though that didn’t stop her from wondering what he wanted to do with the fork.The car had been brought to the driveway, and she was bidding her goodbye while Aiden stood beside the car, looking at them."I'm sorry, Luna." She apologized, to which Vera also smiled. "Ok.""And I'm also sorry about the wine.""How many times do you want me to say it's okay? Stop worrying about that." Vera smiled before looking at Aiden. "Thank you for coming. Get home safe.""Good night, Mother." He said before entering the car. Amelia smiled at Vera one last time before she turned around to enter the car. Her stomach churned at the thought of sitting in th
The weekend was awkward. They didn't talk to each other; they almost didn't see themselves in the house. Aiden ate nothing from the house, and Amelia also stopped cooking for him when she noticed. She also had her pressing issues, and sulking Aiden was something she was less bothered about.It was finally Monday. The day she had been dreading. She couldn't help but feel she might get another note. And the fact that she had no one to talk to it about. Aiden was not an option for her, and she didn't want to worry or get Alicia into trouble. She went to a morning class and stayed until about one pm until she decided to leave. She had been on edge all morning, expecting another note, but so far, nothing. She left the school to go to the bus stop to take a bus when she noticed someone had been following her.She looked back to see someone wearing a black hoodie and mask. And at the height of it, the person waved at her. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw the person wave at her. She fel
The next morning. She stayed in her bed for a long time since she woke up. She wasn't going to school that morning because the person who sent her the note was still out there, and he could try something worse.She had told Aiden to stay out of her business even though she didn't know how to handle the issue at hand.But that wasn't what got her bothered and sleepless. She couldn't stop thinking about how she had spoken to him last night. "Maybe I shouldn't have called him a coward. What the hell is wrong with me?"She was so angry she spoke without thinking. What got her angry last night was still unknown to her. Angry that he didn't allow her to worry about him? Maybe yes.She was sure he wouldn't spare her this time. He wouldn't forgive her no matter how she apologized, and he would throw her out when he returned home. She would be left with solving the issues herself.Just then, she received a text message on her phone. It was from an unknown number. She hadn't opened it yet, and
She stayed late to apologize to him and tell him about the skating lesson, but strangely, he hadn't come back from work. It's already past midnight, and he still wasn't home. "Is he angry? No, he wouldn't stay out late because of his anger towards me. Should I call him?" She kept worrying. She couldn't even sleep. She left her room again for the second time to go sit in the living room. She didn't know why she was so worried. Perhaps she was feeling guilty or scared he would chase her out of his house. She came out of her room and walked down the hallway, lost in thought that she didn't notice someone walking towards her. Ah! She screamed and dropped her phone when she looked up to see him.Aiden looked at her, surprised, but he said nothing."I'm sorry." She quickly bent to pick up her phone and rose to meet his gaze on her. "I... I was waiting for you, and... She couldn't finish her words because she felt she was saying gibberish, so she just kept her mouth shut.She stood in fron
He walked into the house towards the stairs, but as he passed by the living room, he noticed a frail figure sleeping on the couch. The lights of the room were still on and bright, so it was enough to see her small round face as she curled herself up in a ball.He glanced at her before walking up to go to his room like he didn't care. "Why is she sleeping there like she has no room?" He said to himself. He sat on his bed to go through his phone after a clean shower. Not up to five minutes later, he dropped his phone and walked out of the room.He strolled down the stairs and walked to the living room, only to see her sleeping exactly where and how he saw her. He would have ignored her, but strangely, he was bothered. He cleared his throat before calling out her name. "Amelia." He called out once, but she did not move."Did she pass out? He asked himself, worry etched over his face. He finally moved closer to her and tapped her. "Amelia. Wake up." He saw her open her eyes slowly, and h
The next morning. She felt better. She was happy she had no class that day, and the next day was the weekend. She could sleep well for hours before doing her daily chores. She was sure Aiden would have left for work, and that was a perfect time for her to sleep. Speaking of Aiden, she saw a different side of him last night. Even though it felt weird to her, she liked it. She kept talking about her life nonstop, and he just listened.She was in thought, blushing, but it was soon disturbed when she heard a loud knock on her door. She opened it to see it was one of the maids, and she came to inform her about a doctor waiting for her.She was surprised, but she went anyway. She realised Aiden eventually sent the doctor to check her ankle. Having no choice, the doctor examined her. Bandaged her ankle and gave her some drugs she'll use. "He's just worried about me. Nothing more." She told herself. She didn't want to get her hopes so high. Even though she hated him before, he had changed
Two days later. He got discharged from the hospital and went back home with Amelia, who helped him with things despite his disapproval, saying he was fine. He got new maids to get Carrie's things out of the house and get the entire house cleaned. It was finally time to punish the evildoers. He walked into the hall of the pack's house. The elders have all stood silently on a side. His mother, Amelia, and brother were also present. "Bring them in." He said as he sat down in front of them. The guards left the room and came back with three people whose hands were tied. They all looked dirty and pale. And their body had marks like they'd been beaten a couple of times. His gaze was on Paul, who knelt on the floor with his face looking down. "You all have heard everything going on. It's a pity someone from our pack, who I trusted so much, had been... planning. No. He had planned so many evil things for me and my pack. Paul here. Killed Wes manipulated me, my wolf, into believing his
She paced in front of the emergency room while Jason stood in a position, staring at her. "Sit down, Amelia. He'll be fine." Jason said for the umpteenth time, but she didn't listen.She knew he was a werewolf, and he'd be fine from the stab, but she was still worried. She kept blaming herself. She should have told him before she went ahead with her stupid plan. The thought that he took the knife for her haunts her so badly."Jason." Their attention was diverted to Vera, who walked in. "Where's Aiden?""He's fine, Mum. Calm down. You both know he'll be fine." Jason said with a sigh. Vera also looked at Amelia. "Amelia. I'm sorry. How are you? You should get yourself treated first." She pulled Amelia with her to go get a doctor to treat the wound on her neck."No. Please. I'm fine. I want to stay here." She said, tears rolling down her cheeks. "It's my fault. I didn't tell him. I put him in danger. I'm sorry." She cried."No. It's not your fault. It's mine. I trusted someone I shouldn'
Warning: The chapter might be sensitive to read.She looked through the window. The sky was becoming bright. A drop of tears fell from her eyes. She had told herself she wouldn't cry because Aiden would find her soon and save her, but hours had passed, the day had broken, and he hadn't found her."Maybe he doesn't know I'm missing." She thought to herself. The thought of Carrie finding the phone before Aiden means she would lose her life.Not too long after, the door opened, and Carrie entered the room; Jace also walked behind her. She brought out a familiar phone, which Amelia recognized as her phone. "Surprised? You're so stupid, omega. Do you think Aiden will come to save you? He doesn't even care about your existence." She chuckled. "No. You're lying." She shook her head. She didn't want to accept that Aiden didn't care about her. "He doesn't know. Stop lying.""He doesn't know? Does that make sense to you? He doesn't know his woman has been kidnapped for a day now?" Jace asked,
Her head felt so heavy. She opened her eyes slowly to get familiar with her surroundings, but her eyes failed her. She couldn't move her eyelids because of the weakness. She knew she was tied to a chair, but she couldn't move a muscle. She felt like a vegetable in the chair. She swung her head to the back and stayed like that for hours, deep in sleep.An hour passed. Two. Four. She moved in her sleep and groaned painfully. She tried to use her hand to touch her neck, which hurts so much, but couldn't. She looked down to see her hands being tied to the hand of a wooden chair. "Ah!" she groaned even more because of the pain in her neck. She had kept it in that position for a long time.She tried to look around. The room was dark with only the light up the ceiling, pointing directly at her. The light was too dull to reach the corners of the room. "Carrie." She called out slowly at first, as her throat was dry and painful.She wondered how many hours she had slept because it had already
The next morning."I don't know if I should be surprised. You've gotten quite bold lately, Amelia. Did Aiden know you're here?" She sat on the couch with her leg crossed on the other as she stared at Amelia, who was also sitting opposite her.Amelia had called her that morning to say they should see and talk. She was surprised at first, but agreed. She agreed they meet at Aiden's house. "I think you should be anxious instead," Amelia said to her. She had planned to expose her and her father that day. She had had enough of her lies. She needed to let Aiden know, but he would hear it from her herself.Carrie scoffed before saying coldly, "Know your place, omega. Think before you spout out nonsense." Amelia was boiling with anger. The thought of Carrie still talking with so much confidence after everything she had done annoyed her. "Of course. I should know my place because I'm an omega, and what about you? I'm not here to fight or argue about position. It's just to confirm. No. Find o
Aiden looked at her. His heart pounded fast. She knew everything, yet she didn't say anything. "Oh... Eric must have told you." She wanted to tell him she didn't know from Eric, but she let him be. "Are you okay?" She asked. He was avoiding her gaze, and she hated it."You should be scared.""Why would I be?" Amelia asked back. Suddenly, he stood up, running his hand through his hair. "I don't know. I killed a close friend and hid it from everyone." He paused and looked at her. He didn't see the emotion he expected from her face. The same one his mother and brothers had. They don't believe him, and it's making him feel more guilty."I killed him... because I was jealous. He was as strong as me, probably more. And maybe you all aren't worried, or you don't believe me, because I think I'm going insane. It haunts me every day, in my sleep. I've been suffering from insomnia since three years ago. I don't know if you all just think I'm making this up or something. I killed Wes, hid it, an
"What do you think you're doing? You've destroyed everything, Carrie! You're such a big fool. Aiden just told the pack everything about Wes!" He screamed but calmed down, knowing he was not in a safe place."I know." He heard her say."You know?! Carrie, do you know what this will cause me?!" He screamed, running his hands through his hair in anger, but he heard her scoff. "Enough of this. Do you think your plan for three years will work now? It had always been a stupid one, going after his feelings or whatever. Yuck."He couldn't believe she was talking to him that way. "How dare you, Carrie! Learn how to speak to me, or I'll remind you of your place." He said, but she scoffed again."I changed all your plans. We'll kill Aiden. And anyone that comes in our way.""That's not part of the plan." He snapped."It's not, but it would be. And now is the time... I'll call you back. I'm getting another call." She said, but before she could hang up, he screamed. "Don't you dare hang up on me!"
"Amelia. Wake up." She tapped her and tried collecting the glass ball from her, but it didn't work."You did not kill him. You know nothing about it. Please." She kept begging and crying in her sleep.Patricia knew she had seen somebody bad, and she needed to bring her back, but the spell to reverse it wasn't working on her. It seemed like she was seeing another memory.***"Elijah." She called out from the living room, but she didn't hear any sound. She looked at the baby in the cot and smiled. "I'll be back, dear." She stood up and left to go look for her second child."Oh my goodness!" She sighed, seeing the mess the three-year-old had caused in the kitchen. Ever since he started walking with his little legs, she hadn't had peace."So stubborn." She cleaned his shirt, which had a stain. Immediately, her phone beeped in her pocket. She brought it out and saw who it was. Without wasting time, she picked it. "Roseline, leave the house immediately. I saw a vision. He knows where you ar
"This is risky, Amelia. In some cases, it might not work." Patricia said to her as they both looked at the glass ball on the table.Amelia looked up at her. "Please, I need to. Carrie is hiding things, and I can't ask from Aiden. She's manipulating him because of something that has happened in the past."Patricia sighed. Amelia wouldn't let her rest. She had to even come so early in the morning to her place. "Ok. We can at least try. Are you ready?" "Yes." Amelia nodded. "Lie down," Patricia said, to which she also obeyed. She lay on the couch while Patricia began chanting some spells. Patricia gave her the ball to hold. After some minutes, she sprayed a powder at Amelia. "Do you feel sleepy?" She asked, to which Amelia shook her head. "No.""It's a powerful magic, and it won't work so easily. Seeing things from another's past isn't easy." She said it again before trying the spell again, but still, nothing happened. The time seemed shorter because they tried so many times. They ev
