AMELIA

Atlas didn't struggle with the guards. He remained quiet as they dragged us both to the dungeon. At first, I had tried to struggle with them, but I realized that struggling with them would only get me into more trouble.

We walked down the hallway and made a few turns as we got deeper into the mansion, the lights slowly fading into darkness.

I was unfamiliar with this section of the mansion. The walls had scratches and a distinct smell of blood as we ascended the stairs to an underground dungeon.

A long hall appeared, with cells on either side. Some servants I hadn't seen in months and unfamiliar faces sat on the bare floor, looking lifeless.

The bodyguard put us in a cell, locked it with a padlock, and gave Atlas clean clothes to wear as he only had a jacket over his shoulder covering his nakedness.

Atlas reached for the cloth on the floor, removing the jacket covering his nakedness. I turned quickly, not wanting to see him change. I heard him chuckle lightly at my action, but

    ATLASThere were a lot of things I regret getting involved in, and this was going to be one of them. The seer had told me that I would never have a mate and now that I had finally found her; she was nothing like I had imagined. I wanted to touch her, feel her, but I could not risk her finding out that I was the long-lost Alpha of the Blood Moon pack.The Midnight Crescent pack, led by Alpha Hector, wiped out my pack years ago. Since then, we've been building an army here at the mansion.Planning a coup to get back what was rightly mine, ours, and it was why I was working at Alpha’s Hector’s mansion under the disguise of a bodyguard.I had planned to give Alpha Hector a taste of his own medicine today, but fate had other plans. When I stumbled upon her in the hall, her enchanting scent pulled me in, and before I knew it, I was standing before her, utterly captivated by her gaze and unable to believe what I was seeing.I had ruined my plans because my wolf couldn’t resist her.

    ATLASShe stared at me, waiting to give her an explanation, but I had none.She sneered, walked to the end of the cell, and sat on the floor. A worried look plastered on her face as she curled her knees up, burying her head in her knee.I wondered what was going on in that mind of hers. Maybe if I told her who I was, then I would keep her mind at ease, but wouldn’t that be dangerous? Being my mate didn’t erase the fact that I didn’t know who she was and if she was on Zayn’s side and not mine, it was best to keep it to myself for now. I walked opposite her, sitting on the floor and staring at her. It was going to be a long day and worse, a long night if the bodyguards didn’t come back to inform us of Alpha Hector’s decision. I grabbed the jacket the bodyguard offered me earlier to cover me and tossed it towards her. “here, you might get cold,” I said to her. She raised her head, grabbing the jacket with a frown on her face. “Don’t act like you care,” she sneered, tossing the jacket

    ATLAS"We are under attack," I answered, my eyes falling on her hand holding my arm. Her eyes followed my eyes as it dawned on her that she was holding on to me so tightly. She shoved my hand off as she rose to her feet, fear plastered on her face as the cell wall shook again.Smirking, I got up on my feet and went to check the window in hopes of seeing if my thoughts were right. I wouldn't mind linking Enzo in time to hold back our men just a bit longer.It had to be them."What do you mean, we are under attack?" She asked, her voice shaking.I could see a purple light racing towards the sky as it scattered into different colors.The sign."My men are here," I said, looking out the window as another purple light raced "What - What men are you talking about? What is going on?" I turned to stare at her; it was time I explained the situation to her, but where was I to start from? How was I going to explain to her that today was the day I was supposed to place a sign out for my men to

    ATLAS"You heard me, you old bastard." I furrowed my brows. I had endured a lot of nonsense from him over the years, but not anymore. Today, he would be taking his last breath."How dare you speak to me like that?" He yelled, pointing his pistol at me. "Did you check if it was loaded?" I asked, raising a brow."What?" His lips parted as his furrowed brow softened, and panic washed over his face."Are you becoming deaf? I knew you did come here and hide like a little sneaky rat that you are," I chuckled. I had come to his office to set things in place before heading to the dining earlier. I knew he would run here to grab whatever weapon he could lay his hands on, so I made sure to empty all the guns. He stared at me, still pointing the pistol, but I could see the doubt in his eyes, even though he tried hard not to give it away. "Don't be shy, check it," I smiled. Alpha Hector stared at me, not dropping the pistol, but he soon gave in, checking the pistol to see if I was saying the

    AMELIAClutching on to the cold bar, I desperately pleaded with the guard standing by my cell, "Let me out! Why are you keeping me here?" My words fell on deaf ears, and the other prisoners making a run for the exit door seemed to mock my desperation.The ceiling vibrated with the sounds of hurried footsteps and distant screams. I looked up at the ceiling, as it seemed it would give way at any moment, but it didn't. Panic coursed through my veins at the uncertainty of what was going on or what was going to happen to me. He said I was his mate, yet he decided to keep me locked up in here. I knew he wasn't my mate; he was just a liar.As the commotion escalated, I pressed against the iron bars, "Please, you have to tell me what's going on!"The guard's stern look wavered for a moment, but he refused to meet my gaze. He either didn't know or he didn't want to speak to me. Frustration bubbled within me at his silence. I gritted my teeth, closing my eyes and opening it as I furrowed my b

    AMELIAMy world crumbled around me, fear etched deep lines on my face as I tried to make sense of what had happened here. I was only a maid in the mansion, so why was my presence needed here?I staggered back, terrified, as I collided with the red hair. He held my hand, pushing me forward forcefully."Don't fucking lay your dirty hands on her!" Zayn yelled at him, struggling to break free. Why was he suddenly acting like he cared about me? Dirty hands? I remembered he had once called my hands dirty. I was certain his words had nothing to do with me. It was his ego speaking, his desire to claim ownership over me as his mate.Where was his girlfriend? Perhaps she didn't spend the night like she normally would whenever she visited. A lucky day for her. "Enzo, be gentle," Atlas ordered, his gaze piercing through me to the man grabbing my hand from behind. Enzo raised his hands mockingly, a twisted smile playing on his lips as he walked to the side of the room."You killed Alpha Hector?

    ATLASAs Amelia’s consciousness faded away, I watched her body fall into Enzo’s grasp as he carried her over his shoulder.“What the hell are you going to do to her?” Zayn asked as Enzo carried Amelia out of the office. “She is my mate now. I can do whatever I deem fit.”“Please, she doesn’t deserve any of this, and neither do I.” his desperate plea hung in the air, but I felt nothing for him. “Please spare me. My father was the one who attacked your pack, not me.” His eyes bore into mine, but I remained silent.Standing up from the chair, I gave a subtle nod to my men, a silent command that they knew too well. As I left the room, walking out of the mansion, the cool night air greeted me. The air was cool against my skin as I stepped out of the mansion. The moon hung in the sky, shining a white light over the land. I gazed at it with a blank stare, my expression disguising the thoughts swirling within.Inwardly, a quiet satisfaction swelled my heart.

    ATLAS The drive back to our pack's territory stretched into the next night. It would have taken another night, but Enzo’s focus was solely on the road. He only stopped briefly to get gas.I tried to stay awake, but sleep soon claimed me during the journey, and I awoke to the sound of Enzo’s voice calling out to me. I opened my eyes slowly staring at Enzo, “We have arrived Alpha,” Enzo informed me.Glancing out the window as we approached, the pack awaited our arrival, lining up along the path. They threw roses our way, a silent tribute to our return. I couldn’t hear their voices due to the car window and the rumbling sound of the engine, but from the joy and excitement in their eyes, I could tell that news of our victory had gotten to their ears.In that moment, I inhaled deeply, pleased that I had been the one to put an end to everything and to give us the freedom we deserved. For years, the Midnight Crescent pack had painted us as the black sheep. Alpha Hector made us look evil

    AMELIA My heart swells with pride and joy as I hug Atlas tightly. I can't believe that he was chosen as the Alpha King. In a way, I dreamt of him being the Alpha King but I was also accepting if he came home otherwise. It all didn't matter to me but this is a testament to his strength, courage, and leadership qualities. He is a good leader who always puts his pack first and I know he will do well to protect his pack and other packs at large. "I'm so proud of you," I whisper this time, my voice thick with emotion. "You're going to do great." He smiles down at me, his eyes filled with love and admiration. "Thank you, my love," he says. "I couldn't have done it without you, so 'We' are going to do great." He gently cups my face in his hands and leans in to kiss me. The kiss is slow yet passionate and filled with all the love and longing we have been feeling for each other during our time apart. When we finally pull away, I can't help but smile. "I love you, Atlas." "I love you," h

    _TWO WEEKS LATER_AMELIAI roll over in bed, waking up to the sunlight streaming through the window and casting a warm glow across the room. I stretch and yawn, then roll over to check my phone on the bedside table. There is a message from Atlas.[Good morning, beautiful. Miss you tons here. Another day closer to seeing you. :)]My heart skips a beat as I read his words. It has been two weeks since he left for the Alpha King Chosen Games, and I miss him more than anything. We have been communicating constantly over the phone, but it isn't the same as being with him in person.To think he just got back after being away and now we have to talk over the phone again, I just hope this doesn't become a constant thing. I get out of bed and walk over to the window, looking out at the forest below. The trees are still bare, but I can see the first hints of spring in the air. I wonder what Atlas is doing at that moment. Is he training? Is he competing in one of the challenges? Is he thinking a

    ~ONE WEEKS LATER ~ATLASIt has been one week since Amelia's mother died, by rites we had to conduct the burial two days later but the burial was shifted to today because Amelia wanted her mother to be cremated.In her words, she doesn't want anyone to be able to use her mother's body ever again. I know her mother's death took a toll on her, so I made sure to keep the burial within the mansion.We stand by her mother's body watching it burn into ashes, Amelia sobs silently in my embrace. She has barely said a full sentence over the past few days, as long as she eats and allows me to comfort her I do not bother her about talking. I understand the pain she must be going through, to lose someone yet again, and this time right before your own eyes knowing you could have saved them if you knew sooner. In a way, she blames Griffin. I saw it in her eyes when we left the room as she cried out in my arms. She blames him for keeping her out of their plans for years and she blames herself more

    AMELIA"Don't be, my child," my mother whispers, her voice barely above a whisper. "It's not your fault."I shake my head, tears streaming down my face. "But it is," I sob. "I should have been there for you, I should have protected you."If I had not been so naive, if I had been more observant then maybe I would have seen that her death wasn't real. Maybe I would have picked up on her closeness with Griffin and why? I squeeze her hand tightly not wanting to let go of her, tears streaming down my eyes uncontrollably."You couldn't have known," she says softly. "This was meant to happen.""No, it wasn't," I argue. "You didn't deserve this." The Alpha King did this to her, and I am grateful he is dead now but I can't lose her, I can't lose her again. She needs to fight this and stay with me."I know, my sweet," she says. "But it's too late now and we must accept our fate."I grip her hand tightly, refusing to let go. "No, it's not too late," I say fiercely. "I'll find a way to save you.

    AMELIAAfter Atlas leaves, I close my eyes hoping to fall asleep but my eyes open at the sound of a knock on the door. I tilt my head slightly to find Griffin by the door with a grin on his face, he steps in and closes the door behind him."Hey," he says walking towards the bed. "I thought to come and check on you after what I heard happened to you."I straighten up on the bed pulling the duvet over my chest, "Atlas told you?" I ask wondering how he knew I was in Atlas room. He shakes his head in a sign of No, "I have my ways Amelia, the only issue I am having currently is getting into your head," he replies grabbing a chair in the corner of the room and placing it next to the bed. His eyes fall on the table broken into pieces by the side of the room as he takes his seat, he smirks at the sight of it and turns his gaze to me. "What have your beloved mate been up to?" He asks. "I thought he would have died by now but turns out he has been able to hold on for a little longer."My eye

    ATLAS I get up from the bed reluctantly, my mind filled with worry and uncertainty. As I walk down the corridors of the packhouse towards the living room, I mind-link one of the guards to get me Ophelia but I find her in the living room discussing with one of the guards. "Alpha," she turns around sensing my presence, and bows her head. "I was discussing with the guard to watch over our Luna, I suspected that you might be tired from the journey," she says a hint of concern in her voice."I need to talk to you about something," I reply, my voice filled with urgency as I raise my hand in the air waving the guard off. The guard bows his head and excuses us."Something is happening to me, something strange," I admit to her going to sit down on one of the couches, she follows behind and takes a seat opposite me. Ophelia's eyes narrow as she studies me, sensing the gravity of my words. "What is it?" she asks.Taking a deep breath, I begin to explain everything that has been happening. The

    ATLASShe responds eagerly, her arms wrapping around my neck. It is a kiss filled with passion and longing. As we break apart, I gaze into her eyes, seeing the love and trust reflecting on me.She sits up and leans closer to me wrapping her hand around my waist and pulling me closer to her, a smirk falls on my face watching what she is doing. She places her head on my chest snuggling in, "You feel so warm," she mutters.I place my hand to her shoulder pushing her off slowly away from me. She raises an eyebrow at me with a questioning look but her eyes soon soften when she sees me getting in bed with her. Pulling her closer to me she snuggles in closer to me again resting her head on my chest as I wrap my hand around her.My hand suddenly trembles on her, I raise it to look at my hand feeling the darkness consuming me again, she raises her head to look at me wondering what's wrong. As her eyes meet mine, her lips part, "your eyes," she says sitting up straight. "It's red." I nod agr

    ATLASI stare at her neck yanking her hair further back as she swallows in, her eyes flickering with fear at what I am about to do to her.Placing the silver blade to her neck, a knock suddenly falls on the door. I stare at Easton, and he nods going to check who dared to interrupt us. Easton opens the door slightly making me unable to see who is on the other side but I don't miss the words of the woman behind the door. "Ophelia asked me to inform the Alpha that our Luna is awake."My hardened gaze softens at the realization that Ophelia was able to keep her alive. I let go of Nicole's hair, she breathes out relief washing over her face. "Take care of them," I instruct Easton, gesturing the silver blades toward Zayn and Nicole. "A slow death."Easton nods, "Yes, Alpha."I rush out of the cell following the woman back to my room, my heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and fear. As I enter, I see Ophelia and the other witches by her bedside. "She is better now but will take awhi

    ATLASEaston quickly nods and rushes out of the room to carry out my orders. I can sense the fear emanating from him, knowing that he has let me down in the worst possible way. I turn my attention back to Amelia, my heart aching with every passing second. Her breathing is shallow, and I can see the struggle on her face. It's as if time has slowed down, and the weight of the world rests on my shoulders.I lean closer to her, "I am right here, Wildcat," I say aloud hoping she can hear me.I can feel the connection between us vibrating with energy as if begging her to hold on, to fight. I pour every ounce of love and strength I have into the bond, hoping that it will somehow reach her and ignite a spark of hope within her.Minutes turn into hours, and I refuse to leave her side. I whisper words of encouragement, recounting the moments we've shared, reminding her of the love that we shared. But still, there is no response.I decide to freshen up, I reek of blood and sweat and if she wake
