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
"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
She sat in the living room watching a movie. She had just finished having dinner. She couldn't count how many times she had glanced at her phone since she sat down. "He said he'll call later. Should I call him myself? No. That would be too forward." She said to herself. "Gosh, I'm so worried about him." She had been worried since she contacted Patricia in the morning. Patricia told her it would be hard to check his past, but it was possible. She was worried Aiden wouldn't like it if she did it and worried she might see something more terrible about Carrie.She sighed for the umpteenth time, using the blanket on the couch to cover her body as she lay her back on the couch. Immediately, her phone beeped. She got up, flinging the blanket off her body."He's the one. Calm down, Amelia." She said to herself, trying to calm herself. She knew she had to pick up within the next few seconds before it would hang up, and she did."Hi." She heard his voice first."Hi," she said back to him, smi
The next morning. She stirred in her sleep as the ray of light fell on her face. "Ah!" she groaned, stretching her hands.She opened her eyes before sitting up. She looked at her bed before it dawned on her. "What happened last night?" She remembered watching a movie, and suddenly she had no memories of what happened next or how she got to the room."Oh my goodness!" She ran out of the room and made her way to the living room. She heard his voice. He was backing her and was on a call with someone. "Yes. Come soon." He said and hung up."You're up. Good morning." He said to her with a smile when he noticed her."Good morning." She replied with a smile. They exchanged gazes briefly before Aiden walked closer to her. "I'm sorry, but can we talk?"Her smile froze. Talk. What does he want to talk about? It got her scared. What if it was about last night? Did she do something to him?"Yes." She sat down, to which he also sat opposite her.It made her even more scared, and she couldn't help
She shouldn't have told him those. It felt so embarrassing, and now she couldn't face him again. It looked like luck wasn't on her side because Aiden asked as soon as they got into the living room. "So, where did we stop?" "It doesn't matter. I'm just being stupid." She said, unable to face him. Aiden raised her chin for her to look at him. "No, you're not. I appreciate you saying it. And I'm not angry. It's not like I didn't talk. I was just silent. I don't know if that makes any sense." He said, making Amelia chuckle. "Anyway, I didn't talk because I thought you might need space. And maybe because I didn't know what to say. About looking at you, I'm sorry I don't look at you more often." He smiled. "Gosh, I didn't mean it that way." Amelia hit his arm lightly. Her cheeks had become red, and she didn't want him to see, but he wasn't giving her the chance; he kept raising her chin so their gaze could meet. "And about offering to take you back home, it's not because I didn't want y
"What is all this commotion for?""Commotion? That girl tried to hurt me and the baby? Don't you even care about that?" She stood up from the bed to face him."I do. That's why I keep trying to stop the fight and focus on calling you a doctor, but you didn't want that because you're busy fighting.""No. This is not you. You should focus on punishing her first instead of calling for a doctor. That should be your priority." She screamed at him, poking his arm.Aiden looked at her in disbelief. He couldn't believe he was more interested in making Amelia suffer than her getting treated. She was even screaming like nothing had happened to her before. "Carrie. I don't want to have this conversation with you right now.""Did you get her a house?" She asked, but Aiden didn't say a word. "You're acting different, Aiden. This is not you. Not my Aiden. You should only focus on me. Forget about her. I know it's your wolf." She said, touching his face and arms. "Everything is because of the bond.
She followed the maid up the stairs to clean her dress. She couldn't help but be reminded of the past as she followed the maid. "Come in. You can use this room's bathroom." The maid said, opening a door to a room, but not just any room. The room she was sleeping in before. The room given to her when she was working in the house. "Can I use another bathroom? Perhaps the guests." She felt uncomfortable using the room's bathroom. She didn't want to remember the past, at least not the bad ones. "Why? You also think you're a guest?" The maid snorted with her hands crossed on her chest. Amelia looked surprised, but she didn't want to argue or fight with her. She just turned around to leave, but before she could, the maid pulled her back. "I'm not done talking to you. Because you're dressed in a classy gown, you think you've become special." "Do you have anything against me?" Amelia asked. She couldn't understand why the maid would bring her up there just to insult her. When she was s
She kept staring at the birthday card, which was delivered to Alicia's house. It was Aiden's birthday day card, and it would take place that night. "How come I don't even know today is his birthday? Gosh, I'm so terrible. No. We weren't on good enough terms for me to know, but did he send this?" She kept looking at it, but she knew Aiden wouldn't have sent it to Alicia's house. He knew she had a new place now."Could it be Carrie? She must be the one." She thought. "But why?" She wasn't interested in going, but she remembered she had to expose Carrie. Perhaps that was an opportunity. "I'll go even if I have to see Aiden and the other pack members." She had been trying to avoid Aiden since that day. She didn't even call him for his account details. She didn't understand why. She still feels it was impossible. She likes him. She thought about him more since that day, but she was scared. Scared that she might not be enough. People are right. She's just an omega with no wolf.She search
