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
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 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
"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 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
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
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 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
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
