She wore a casual top and trousers. She knew it was time to leave if they wanted to make it to the cinema early, but she was so nervous she couldn't step out of the room. "Gosh, why are my palms so sweaty?" She paced around the room for some time before she finally mustered the courage to leave her room.She passed by his room, but she didn't bother to knock because she thought he might be busy. She walked down the stairs only to see him in the living room, sitting with one leg crossed on the other.He stood up and walked towards her. "I've been waiting for you. Can we go?" He asked, but Amelia could not reply. She just nodded her head lightly. It's not like she was just seeing him wear casual clothes, but he looked different to her that night. His fresh cologne was inhaled immediately as he walked closer to her and erased everything on her mind. She just walked behind him till they got outside. And just when she thought she could breathe, he walked towards the driver's seat. That w
"You said you wanted to share a bed with me... Why is that?"Amelia was surprised at his question. Exactly what they fought about recently. The reason he was asking all of a sudden was something she didn't understand. "Well, you said you couldn't sleep without someone there by your side. And it's true I overheard your conversation with your brothers. But I didn't suggest that because I pitied you."She paused before looking away from him to avoid his stare. "You worry and do things for me, and I also wanted to do it back. It's not good to have insomnia for a long time.""Some people deserve it, accompanied by a lack of peace of mind." He retorted, but Amelia could not say a word. She just stared at him with a series of emotions, most especially confusion. He looked like he was trying to say something, and she wanted to ask, even though she still didn't want to pry into his life. "No matter what happens to someone. I don't think they should be deprived of sleep." She said.He looked a
She was in her room getting ready for school. "Did I do something wrong?" She asked herself. She knew he was normally stoic and cold, but he was loosening until he changed again.Different thoughts passed through her head as she left the house. She felt relaxed; she could do things without having the thought that someone might be watching her. David, at Aiden's orders, was there to protect her even though she didn't see him around. After class, she and Alicia went to the library. Her exam was coming in three weeks, and she had started preparing for it with her friend. A few hours later, they left school and went to their respective houses. The thoughts were back. She thought of saying something funny to him if it could help. "I can't believe myself." She chuckled at herself. She cooked dinner and waited for him. She loved they ate together, and even though it was awkward and didn't last long, she wished it would happen again. It was getting dark each minute, but she didn't eat her
"Mr. Bates is waiting in the conference room. We can leave whenever you're ready." Eric said, looking at Aiden, whose gaze was fixed on the computer.Even though he wasn't doing anything, he just kept looking at the computer with one hand holding the mouse tightly. He nodded his head at Eric.Eric also noticed this, but he didn't ask anything about it. He knew he was bothered, and he wanted to ask if he was okay, but he couldn't. "I'll keep her off the company's ground." He said before leaving the room.He sighed as he rested his back in his chair. Seeing her wasn't what was bothering him. It is, but not as much as what he heard and felt. Why would his wolf still recognise her as his mate? He sat in that same position for some minutes before standing up to leave for his meeting. "Good morning, Mr. Flea." Mr. Bates stood and greeted Aiden as he entered the room."Good morning," Aiden replied. He sat down at the edge of the long table before Mr. Bates and the other people in the room s
The next morning, they didn't see or meet each other, not to mention eat breakfast. He went to work as usual and did his normal routine, even though he still couldn't get the thoughts of having two mates out of his mind. He didn't understand why Carrie would just come back after a few months and still be his mate. He never rejected their bond, but he never thought the bond might still be there when he had already marked Amelia. He didn't know what he could do even though he and Amelia had planned to break the bond. He was uneasy with the thought of it. And even if he breaks the bond with Amelia, he can't act like things are fine with Carrie.He stopped working when Eric came to inform him it was time to leave for the party. Work had ended hours ago, but he stayed back in the company to attend the party, and he was uncomfortable going home.The party was held at a big hotel in the city. He walked into the large room filled with different people, dressed in different classy suits and
"Who comes to a training facility this early morning?" Liam asked, looking around the empty room. He didn't get any reply from the guy, who was already sweating a lot because he had been hitting the punching bag for over an hour.Aiden suddenly called him to come, and he knew something was bothering him only for him to get there and be treated as if he was invisible. He asked him if he would box with him, but he declined. He left the hospital to join him, and he would go back to the hospital so he couldn't afford to destroy his clothes. Aiden, on the other hand, was wearing a shirt and suit pants, but still, he was in the ring boxing like he was training for a fight. To think he didn't even have a bath and was still in his last night's wear. Finally, he stopped. He removed his boxing gloves and left the ring. Liam handed him a bottle of water as he took a seat beside him.He also took it and drank it until he almost emptied the bottle. "Do you feel okay now?" Liam asked, but Aiden
"Alpha, Ms. Carrie is here to see you," Eric announced as he entered the room. He wouldn't have come to inform him, but since she works for the investee company, he had no choice.Aiden looked up at him. "Let her in." There was no reason to avoid her, especially after what had happened the night before."Yes, sir," Eric replied before leaving the room. After some minutes, a knock came from the door. He asked the person to come in, and she walked in. She wore a V-line neckline red dress that stopped on her thighs. "Good morning," she said with a smile, walking towards his chair. "Sit down." He said with no emotion, but Carrie still kept smiling. She sat in her chair opposite him. "How are you doing?" She asked. "What do you want? Did Mr. Bates send you here?" Aiden asked, but to his surprise, Carrie burst out into laughter. She flipped her hair to the back and asked. "Do I look like I'm here for business? I came here as Carrie, not Miss Carrie.""Then I'm busy. I don't have any time
He couldn't breathe, couldn't think. All he could do was sit there with his eyes closed, surrounded by the suffocating silence of the water.He was confused and frustrated. It was a Friday, and he was supposed to be at work, but he had to take a break, especially after what he heard last night.He was trying to solve the matter of the two fated mates at hand when another came in. He wasn't even sure he was ready to be a father, especially after the issue with Carrie. She left him without a word, and he was still angry about that.Speaking of Amelia. She's also his mate, and even though he didn't want to understand how that was possible, a part of him didn't want to let her go. He wasn't sure of his feelings, but he knew he was attracted to her.He was still underwater when he suddenly heard a loud sound. Someone had entered the pool. He swam up to the surface, angry someone had the guts to enter his special pool. Just when he was about to get to the surface, he noticed the person was
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
