View MoreAmelia’s POVIt’s eight-thirty in the morning. Nyx has left for work. He came back at midnight yesterday and I don’t even know when he gets up this morning. He’s literally working his guts out. I want to check his injury and I still don’t get the chance. But I bet that wound is quite severe. I can tell from his pale face.I get dressed, leave the pack house, and walk a long way to the appointed place, a coffee shop. It’s in somewhere remote in the pack and it’s a nice place for some private talks.I enter the shop, order two cups of coffee, and begin to wait.As I’m waiting, I look around the coffee shop. The wall next to me is something like a mirror, reflecting my face and my determined look.Soon, the guy I wait shows up and sits in front of me.“Hi, Duke,” I push a cup of coffee in front of him.I can see that he’s a little nervous because I asked him out without telling him the reason.“Remember that promise?” I ask.Duke nods calmly. But he keeps drumming his finger on the table
Nyx’s POVStartled by my words, Eva stops all her movement and looks at me, fear and tension evident in her eyes.I signal her to sit back. She does accordingly. I’m already clenching my fist for fear that I might lose control and kill her. Yes, this can totally happen.“Eva, there’s one thing that you need to explain. Why did the emergency happen exactly after you poisoned me?” I cross my arms and examine her expression closely while I speak, trying to tell whether she’s going to lie or not.“What do you mean?” Eva looks at me in disbelief.I sneer, “Should I make it clearer? Amelia, the rogues attack the pack at the time that fits them the best and ambush me at the right place. What role did you play in this?”She looks at me with her eyes wide, as if she can’t believe my eyes. So she’s playing the victim now. If it wasn’t for her, things wouldn’t have come to this.“Nyx, do you mean it? I’ve been the Luna of the pack for such a long time. Now you’re suspecting me! Do you really th
Amelia’s POVI check the message. Still no reply.I don’t believe a word Eva says. But I can tell from Eva’s reaction that Nyx is fine.He must be very busy now. He’s out on a trip and an emergency happens. There must be a lot for him to handle.But I hate that I have to know it from a third person, especially a woman I hate.It sucks.Anyway, I’ll just come back home and wait.After taking a quick shower, I change into my sleeping gown, lie on the sofa in the living room, and pull a blanket over my body.I need to know it immediately when he comes back. I also need sleep. So I’ll just wait for him in the living room.Because of fatigue, I fall sound asleep very quickly.Somehow my forehead feels wet. Someone kisses me.Is it a dream?I slowly open my eyes. Nyx’s face is what I see first.Nyx is back! I’m not dreaming, am I?Seeing that I’m awake, he pulls me into his arms tightly and kisses me on my lips.I wrap my hands around his body.All the tension and worry for the whole night
Amelia’s POV“Amelia, you’re not escaping from the pack, right?” Duke asks with suspicion. What is he talking about? This idiot!Well, he has a good reason to doubt me, because it’s a godsent chance to leave here, with Nyx out of trace and the pack in a mess. But I’ll prove to him that I’ll stay and help.“I’m going to the hospital,” I say to Duke firmly.Duke looks at my expression closely before he nods. Then he stops a warrior and orders him to take me to the hospital.The warrior nods.As I enter the hospital, I’m shocked by what I see.The corridor is crowded with injured warriors. And the physicians are moving in and out of wards. It looks quite similar to the hospitals in the human world.Growing up alone, I have to learn a lot of medical knowledge, because I have no one to turn to when I’m ill. I’ve also learned something about first aid. And these days I’ve been studying the herbs. I believe I can be helpful.A woman in white comes over and notices me. Before I say anything,
Nyx’s POVI give my arm a hard pinch so that the pain can sober me up. Before she touches me again, I summon all my force to kick her on her stomach. She lies on the ground and looks at me bitterly.I stumble to the window, open it, and tear the window gauze. I climb on the windowsill. I’ve promised Amelia that I won’t be alone with Eva. I need to get out of here! Damn, it’s the eighth floor. If I’m not posioned, this would be easy for me. But now my head is spinning and my eyelids are heavy, I’m not sure.“Nyx, don’t!” Eva’s voice is getting louder from behind. She’s coming over! No time to hesitate, I swing my legs and take a leap out of the window. I’d rather get injured than stay in the same room with her.Luckily, I steady myself on a narrow ledge outside, gripping the outer wall of the hotel with finger.“Nyx!” Eva looks outside from the window.It’s windy, but the wind doesn’t make me more lucid. And I can feel the strength losing out on me. Shit, I need to get down there fas
Amelia’s POVI don’t know exactly when Nyx leaves, because I’m sound asleep at that time. The moment I’m awake alone in the bed, I’m seized by a sense of loss. I begin to miss him.I get up, enter the study room, and try to kill time with books. But I just can’t focus on books! Nyx comes to my mind from time to time and always distracts me. Now I’m learning the effect of bloodroot. And the next second, I’m thinking about what Nyx might be doing now, whether he will miss me, and how he and Eva will get along. He’s out on a pack visit, so I refrain from contacting him. But I miss him so much and I’m expecting his messages. Every time the message notification comes out, I will grab my phone and see if it’s from Nyx. And I will be disappointed.It’s gonna be a long day.Finally, it’s night!More precisely, the sun has set and it has just turned dark. But I can’t wait to contact him! I can’t wait to listen to him talk about his day! I can’t wait to see his face!I know the schedule is v
Nyx’s POV“There isn’t a rule that says the alpha needs to stay in one room with Luna, right?” She asks. “No. Of course not. I won’t be alone with her, and I promise no physical contact.” I shake my head wildly, trying to reassure her. I hate to see her looking distressed, although the way she gets jealous is so cute.The Sapphire Pack has a long-standing relationship with The Blue Blood Pack, but the last visit between packs happened two years ago. And this time we have plenty to discuss and agree on. We have to stay there for one night.Amelia purses her lips and doesn’t say anything, with dissatisfaction written across her face.“Honey, trust me! I’ll get you a gift when I come back!” I carry her in my arms and make her sit on my lap, coaxing her and kissing her.Her eyes light up. “I believe in you. Just so you know, I’ll make video calls with you at night. And you’d better answer them immediately” she says with a threatening tone.I smile. “Definitely!” Then I think of something
Amelia’s POVEver since I saw her dance with Nyx on that night, I haven’t had any opportunity to see her alone. It’s the first time.I don’t know what she thinks of me. And I don’t care if she’s mateless or what. There’s no need to factor in the third person in my relationship with Nyx. It’s between Nyx and I.Her mere presence once brought me so much pain. And it’s so embarrassing to see her alone. I can’t say I like her, as that challenging smile when she danced with Nyx really stings my eyes. But I’ll be polite.“Hi, Eva.” I force a smile at her.She raises her eyebrow and then reveals a fake smile, “I thought you were not going to say hi.”OK, she hates me. That’s for sure.And I don’t like the way she smiles. She should look herself in the mirror when she smiles, cuz I’m sure she wouldn’t do it if she knew how fake it looked. “Why not? You’re a good Luna.” I ask her with a bright smile, putting on that kind of expression that I’m completely fine and I don’t understand what she’s
Amelia’s POVIt’s the first time that I feel that love again after the worst birthday of my life. That kind of strong electricity is running through my veins again.I sit up straight from his arms. Now I look at him, my heart begins to race as I see him in the outfit that I choose for him.Nyx cuts off a piece of cake, puts it in front of me, and feeds me with a spoon. Then he looks at me nervously.The sweetness of the cream mixed with the flavor of strawberries activates my taste buds. It doesn’t look good. But it tastes so nice that I close my eyes to savor it.“It’s so good!” I say with great satisfaction.Nyx’s nervousness shifts into a bright smile.I take a spoon and eat it. Wait, something hard hits my teeth. Why is there something hard inside the cake?I spill it out with a tissue to see what it is. I pick it in my hand and see it closely. It’s a gold ring with a diamond on it!I look at Nyx with great surprise. He takes it from my hand and slides it onto my finger.“Isn’t th
Amelia’s POVSauntering down the suburb street, I talk to my phone, holding the leash with the other hand. I’m walking Bucks, a beautiful and purebred Alaskan Malamute. The dress I wear is the latest release from the runway. To anyone who passes by, I must look like that type of rich and carefree girl who spends all her day splurging on frivolous things. But they will think otherwise if they hear what I am talking about.“Please, I’m penniless. I don’t even have money for lunch. Just give me ten more days. I’ll pay the rental as soon as I get paid…Thank you so much! Love you! Bye!”I hang up my phone in satisfaction. I know, a pleading tone and a sweet voice with a hint of flattery always help me get my way. That’s how I manage to grow up without parents. The fact is, the dog, the dress, and the striking high-heels, none of them belong to me.Bucks is actually the pet of a rich couple. Its white and brown fur is soft and fluffy, obviously well-groomed. This couple is out for a vacati
