The cold water hit me like a slap in the face, waking me from my daydream. As I stood there, letting the water wash over me, I felt a strange mixture of emotions. I wanted to hold on to the scent of Drake, to savor the memory of our time together.

But I also knew that I needed to move on, to let go of the past. I reached for the soap, the cool, sudsy liquid sliding over my skin. As I scrubbed, I tried to focus on the present, the moment I was in. But as the water washed away the soap, I couldn't help but enjoy the moment.

I couldn't believe I had let myself be manipulated so easily. I had been so sure of Drake's feelings for me, so sure that we had something special. Yet then Amelia had come along and planted that seed of doubt, and I had let it grow.

I had let it fester, until it had consumed me, until I had pushed Drake away. And now, I was left with nothing but regret and a sense of loss. I have been a fool. I sank into the bathtub, my head in my hands, as the water continu

    DrakeAs I made my way back to my chambers, I could feel the grime of the day clinging to my skin. The need for a bath was time-sensitive, but I knew it would have to wait. My thoughts were consumed by the events of the day, and the conversation I needed to have with Zelda. I knew she would be angry, but I was determined to make her understand I had to attend to something urgent. I pushed open the door to my chambers, bracing myself for the confrontation to come.My chambers were empty, and I realized Zelda must be in her rooms. I would have to explain everything to her, but first I needed to bathe. I quickly stripped off my clothes and stepped into the bath, letting the warm water wash over me. As I scrubbed the grime from my skin, my mind drifted to what had happened earlier. I wondered where Zelda had gone, and if she would be willing to listen to me. I rose from the bath and wrapped myself in a towel, then made my way to the wardrobe.I quickly pulled on a clean shirt and breeche

    ZeldaI tried to open my eyes, but they felt like they were glued shut. Finally, I forced them open and blinked, trying to adjust to the darkness. I realized that I was in a cell, the stone walls were damp and cold. My wrists were bound with coarse rope, my feet tied together. I wriggled, attempting to free myself, but the rope held fast. My heart began to race as I wondered how I had gotten here. Then, the sound of footsteps in the hall outside the cell made my blood run cold.I struggled to clear my mind, to focus on what had happened. I could remember being in my chambers, reading the letter. But thereafter, everything was a blur. I attempted to piece it together, but the harder I tried, the more my head pounded. And I was so thirsty, my throat was parched. I called out, hoping someone would hear me. But no one came. My heart sank, my body trembling. I was alone, trapped in this cell. And I had no idea how I had gotten here.I berated myself for letting my anger get the best of m

    DrakeI swallowed hard, my eyes wide as I read the letter. “Beside you is a small box wrapped with something,” it said. My heart raced as I looked down and saw the small package. I reached for it, my hands shaking. My mind raced, wondering what it could be. Slowly, I unwrapped the package, my heart pounding. I opened the box, and my blood ran cold. Inside was my Zelda’s head, her eyes wide and vacant. I felt like I was going to be sick, the world spinning around me. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.I let out a bloodcurdling scream, causing Madeline, my beta, and Zelda's father to rush inside. “What is it?” they both asked, their faces full of worry. But I was in shock, unable to speak. My eyes were still fixated on the contents of the box, unable to look away. The room started to spin as I struggled to catch my breath. I felt like I was going to pass out, my mind racing with thoughts of what this could mean. “Can you please tell us what's wrong?” Madeline pleaded, but I was fr

    Zelda“Amelia,” I whispered, the word catching in my throat. “How dare you,” she said, her voice low and threatening. Before I could react, she slapped me hard across the face. The sting of her hand was a shock, and I almost fell to the ground. But I managed to keep my balance, though my head was spinning. “How dare you pronounce my name in your dirty mouth, you bitch,” she hissed, her eyes full of hatred. I knew that I was in serious trouble.It had never occurred to me that Amelia, of all people, would resort to something as extreme as kidnapping. I had known she had an unhealthy obsession with Drake, but I never thought she would take it this far. I had always considered her to be a kind and caring person who was just obsessed, someone who would never stoop to such a level. But now, I was faced with the reality that my perception of her had been wrong. I had been betrayed, and the worst part was that I never saw it coming. I should have known better than to trust her, but I had

  • My Father My Mate     Amelia

    DrakeIt was strange — usually the Mind-link connection between myself and Amelia was instantaneous and effortless. But now, I struggled to reach her, feeling a strange block that I had never experienced before. It was as if something were standing in the way, a barrier that I couldn't breach. Could it be possible she had betrayed me? That would explain why I couldn't reach her through the Mind link. It was said that when one cannot reach any pack member he or she has committed an atrocity, except if the person is your mate, then the person is in trouble or has betrayed the pack members.“Go get me Amelia,” I said to my beta, my voice low and urgent. He nodded, turning to go without another word. “Why do you need Amelia?” Madeline asked, her voice dripping with disdain. I ignored her, my gaze fixed on the door as I waited for my beta to return. I felt drained, my strength sapped by whatever was preventing me from reaching Amelia through the Mind link. A part of me was afraid of wh

    ZeldaA surge of anger rose within me, and before I could stop myself, I spat in her face. A look of fury flashed across her eyes, but I didn't care. I felt powerless, and helpless in this situation. The only thing I could think of was to lash out in some way, and this was the only thing I could do. I watched as she wiped the spit from her face, her hand shaking with rage. But still, I didn't care. I just wanted to scratch her face, to make her feel the way I felt. I could feel the tension in the air, the violence threatening to break out.She grabbed the belt from her waist, holding it tightly in her hand. I braced myself for what was to come. The belt cracked against my skin, the pain searing through me. But I didn't feel it. I couldn't feel anything, except for the grief that consumed me. She had taken my child away from me, a child I had never even met. I felt a deep, searing pain in my heart, a pain that no amount of physical pain could ever compare to. My entire world had been

    DrakeI slammed my shoulder into the door, feeling the wood crack and splinter under the force of my impact. The door burst open, and I stumbled into the room. And there she was, my sweet Zelda, bound and gagged, her face covered by a hood. My heart stopped, my blood running cold. I rushed to her, pulling the hood off her head. Her eyes were wide with terror, her skin pale and drawn. “Zelda,” I gasped, my voice breaking. I untied her hands and feet, my hands shaking with fear and adrenaline.I held Zelda close, her body trembling in my arms. I could feel her heartbeat, fast and erratic, against my chest. As my guards apprehended the culprit, I gently stroked Zelda's hair, trying to soothe her. Her skin was clammy, her eyes hollow. As I held her, I noticed the bloodstains on her clothes, the fabric torn and ragged. I pressed my face to her hair, breathing in the familiar scent of her, trying to reassure myself that she was still here, still alive.“Zelda,” I said, my voice shaking.

    ZeldaI struggled to open my eyes, as if something was holding them shut. But I forced them open, wincing as the world spun around me. The room was a blur of colors and shapes, my vision distorted. I closed my eyes again, the effort of keeping them open too much to bear. A moment later, I tried again, this time forcing myself to focus on one thing at a time. My head was pounding, a dull ache behind my eyes. Slowly, the world began to come into focus.I felt a hand on my arm, helping me to sit up. I opened my eyes, meeting the concerned gaze of Drake. “Be careful,” he said, his voice soft and gentle. “You have been through a lot.” I let out a small smile, grateful for his support. I leaned back against the pillows, closing my eyes again. I could feel the exhaustion weighing me down, my body still trembling from the ordeal. I let my mind drift, trying to relax.The memories came rushing back to me. The pain, the terror, the fear. And then, the betrayal. I sat up, my eyes blazing. “Whe

    DrakeThree years later.I stood at the grave, my hands clutching the flowers I had brought. My kids stood beside me, their eyes fixed on the stone before them. I took a deep breath, clearing my throat. “Owen looks exactly like you,” I said, my voice quivering. “I know you're not here, but occasionally I believe you are.” I paused, my eyes hard as I looked at my kids. “He's as strong as you are. He's selfless, just like you. You would have loved him.” The words hung in the air, heavy with emotion.“Sometimes it's difficult to believe that you're not here with us, that I won't ever hear your voice again or feel your touch. Sometimes I think it's all a nightmare, that I'll wake up and everything will be like it was before. But I never do. The truth is, life without you is hard. I find it hard to trust anyone, to open up to anyone. “My kids ran off, giggling as they chased each other through the grass. I got up to follow them, making sure they didn't go too far. As I walked over to whe

    ZeldaNine Months Later.I looked in the mirror, my eyes drawn to the slight bulge in my belly. I placed my hand on my stomach, feeling the life within. It was a strange sensation, one that filled me with both joy and fear. I was growing, my body changing, my life changing. But I was still me, still whole. And that was all that mattered to me. I traced my fingers over my cheeks, feeling the slight swelling of my nose. Drake said I looked beautiful, but I couldn't see it. All I saw was a monster. But he loved me anyway.He still wasn't happy that I was keeping the pregnancy, but I knew in my heart that this was the right decision. I wanted to have this child, to give Drake the heir he deserved. He might not have needed it, but the pack did. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for the challenge ahead. I could do this. I could be strong for both myself and my child. I placed my hand on my stomach again, feeling the flutter of new life within. And I smiled.The door to my room burst o

    ZeldaI couldn't tell how long I'd been unconscious, but when I opened my eyes, my head was pounding. I struggled to sit up, but someone helped me, supporting my weight. I looked up, and my heart sank. It was Drake. His expression was unreadable, and I was unable to remember the last time he had smiled. “Where's my family?” I asked, my voice breaking. I was afraid of the answer. “The doctor had asked that we give you some space,” he said. I nodded, my mind racing. He was staring at me with a strange look in his eyes, and I knew something was wrong. “What is it?” I asked, my heart in my throat. “Nothing,” he said, his voice monotone. I knew he was lying. We'd known each other for too long. He knew I could see right through him. I waited, the silence weighing on me like a heavy blanket. “Just tell me,” I said, my voice shaking. He let out a long sigh. “You're pregnant,” he said, his voice low and serious. My jaw dropped, and I looked down at my stomach. “I thought about what the

    ZeldaI heard footsteps approaching, and my heart leapt into my throat. A guard appeared, a limp body slung over his shoulder. He dropped the body on the floor, and I held my breath, dreading what I would see. The guard stood back, his face pale. “He's dead,” he said, his voice flat. I forced myself to take a step forward, my knees shaking. I knelt beside the body, my hands trembling as I reached out to touch it. I pulled back the blood-stained cloak, revealing the face of Jake.“Jake, the Fierce,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “Don't do this. You can't leave like this.” I reached out to touch his cold cheek, my hands shaking. I looked down at him, my heartbreaking as I took in his broken body. “Please… please don't go.” I cradled his body in my arms, my tears falling like rain.My mother rushed to my side, her arms wrapping around me. “Shh, my dear. Be strong,” she murmured. Drake stood in front of me, his eyes hard and unyielding. His arms were crossed behind his back, hi

    ZeldaI felt Jake's hand slip from my grasp, and I heard a sickening thud as he hit the rocks below. I wanted to believe he was still alive, but I knew it was a futile hope. I sank to my knees, my eyes fixated on the jagged cliff that loomed before me. “Jake! Jake! Jake!” I heard Drake’s voice as he called out, but the only response was the echo of his own voice. Desperately, Drake yelled again, his voice hoarse and cracking. But there was no reply, only a heavy silence. I turned to Drake, his expression unreadable. “Let's go,” he said quietly, his voice heavy with grief. “No!” I cried, shaking my head. “We have to find him! We have to save him!” I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, but I refused to let them fall. I couldn't accept that he was gone. Drake took my face in his hands, his eyes filled with sadness. “He's dead, Zelda,” he said softly, his voice cracking. “I'm so sorry.” I shook my head, refusing to accept that Jake was gone, and then I freed myself from hi

    Zelda“Help!” I screamed, my voice hoarse with fear. My claws were digging into the wall, my muscles straining as I fought to stay in place. But I could feel myself slipping, and I knew I couldn't hold on much longer. My eyes darted to the ground below, my heart racing as I thought of the fate that awaited me if I fell. I heard the guards. Drake and Jake were shouting, but I was unable to make out what they were saying. I closed my eyes, my mind spinning as I tried to find a way out of this.I howled in desperation, the sound tearing from my throat. “Zelda!” I heard Drake call, his voice echoing through the cavernous space. I opened my eyes, straining to see him through the darkness. He was standing on the edge of the cliff, his arms outstretched toward me. But it was no use. I was too far away, the space between us was too great. “I can't reach you, Drake,” I cried, my voice cracking. He took a step closer, his eyes pleading. “Just try, Zelda,” he said, his voice shaking.I strugg

    ZeldaDesperate, I reached out with my mind, trying to connect with Drake. To my relief, I felt him there, his mind close and receptive. I tried to send him to our location, hoping he could understand my message. Suddenly, I felt his presence grow stronger. He was coming, and he was coming fast. I sent him another message, pleading with him to hurry. He responded, his mind filled with a sense of urgency and determination.Cindy's wolf was impossibly fast, making it difficult for me to shift into my wolf form. I heard a loud growl in the distance, and my heart leapt. I knew that growl, that deep, angry sound. It was Drake, coming to save me. I just had to hold on until he got here. But I could feel my strength waning, and I knew I wouldn't last much longer. I had to find a way to keep myself safe, and quickly.Suddenly, Cindy's wolf stopped, her ears perked up and her body tensed. I could tell she had heard Drake, too. She turned to face him, her tail low and her eyes blazing with hat

    ZeldaThe cold water stung my face, jolting me into consciousness. I squinted against the bright light, my eyes taking a moment to adjust. I could feel my wrists and ankles bound, my body aching with the strain of being tied up. My head pounded, a dull ache spreading from the base of my skull. As I took stock of my surroundings, I noticed that I was in a small stone room, the only light coming from a small window high above my head. The room was bare, save for a single wooden chair in the corner.The last thing I remembered was a sudden, blinding pain as something hit me on the head. Now, here I was, tied up and at the mercy of Cindy, a woman who had always been a pest in my life.“Why are you doing this?” I asked, my voice cracking with fear. Cindy's smirk only widened, her dark eyes glittering with malice. “Oh, you know what you did,” she said, her voice dripping with venom. I tried to think of what I could have done to make her so angry, but my mind was blank.“We were friends, C

    Zelda“My lady,” a voice called from behind me, making me jump. I turned around to see a maid standing there, her gaze fixed firmly on the floor. “Your room is ready,” she said, her tone deferential. “How many miles is it from here to Cindy's grandmother's house?” I asked, my voice betraying my anxiety. The maid hesitated, then said, “I do not know, my lady.” I felt a wave of frustration, but I bit my tongue. “Thank you,” I said, my tone cool.I pulled the curtains closed, blocking out the moonlight. With a weary sigh, I let my shoulders slump. “My lady,” the maid said, “I hope you find the room to your liking.” I nodded my thanks, too tired to speak. She left me alone, and I entered the room, closing the door behind me. I sank onto the bed, its softness enveloping me. The silence was broken only by the ticking of the clock on the wall. I felt a wave of exhaustion wash over me, and I closed my eyes, my thoughts swirling.I felt my blood boil as I thought of what that woman had d
