Amelia’s POVAnother clerk comes over and eyes her. Then they start to whisper while covering their mouths. From time to time, they look at me and gloat.This makes me feel very bad. I’m the mate of the alpha, and even the clerks know something I don’t.“What party? What are you talking about?” I ask them.They exchange a look and lower their heads, keeping silent and refusing to give me an answer.This irritates me. “As the mate of the alpha of your mate, I’m asking you, what party are you talking about?”A clerk raises her head reluctantly, “It’s the full moon ceremony party. It’s the most important event of the pack and everyone…”Suddenly, another clerk nudges her.She immediately “I mean, most of the pack members will join the party.”And Nyx is definitely there. But he told me that’s an important meeting. Why didn’t he just tell me it was a party? Why did he lie to me?I need to find out.I put all this stuff back in the showcase except the birthday cake. I pay the bill and turn
Nyx’s POVWhy does Eva keep glancing outside while we’re dancing? What’s in there?As we swirl, I get the dance to look outside the window. But I see nothing.Weird.As I dance, all I’m thinking about is Amelia. What is she doing there? Will she miss me? She asks me to stay with her, but I reject her with a false excuse. And here I am, dancing with Eva.I think she told me something, but I didn’t hear it clearly. I’ll ask her what’s that thing when I come back.Before the ceremony, both Duke and I agree this is the best way. But now I begin to doubt myself, is it really the best way?Whatever, the lie has been told. I’ll tell her everything and make up for her after the ceremony. “It’s just a dance. It will end soon,” I say to myself.I make a point of not touching Eva’s body with my hand in the air, but Eva relentlessly moves closer to me. This makes me annoyed, but I can’t do anything in front of so many people.God, this is a long dance.***********Amelia’s POVI turn around and
Nyx’s POVFinally I’m back. The partying of the night exhausts me.I stand outside the door and look at the window of my bedroom. The lights are off. She must have fallen asleep.I’ll level with her tomorrow morning.I look down at the small jewelry case in my hands. I'll put it beside her pillow so that she can see it when she wakes up tomorrow morning. I can't wait to see her excited smile.I open the door and walk. I slow down so I don’t make any noise. And there’s no need to open the lights. I have excellent night vision. I walk upstairs and slowly open the door of the bedroom.And my eyes meet Amelia’s in the darkness. She sits on the sofa, waiting for me motionless, like a sculpture.I’ve told her not to wait for me. Shouldn’t she fall asleep now?I walk over and put the box in her hands.“Why don’t you have the lights on? I got you a …”Before I’m finished, Amelia waves her hand, and the gift falls.It falls on the carpet and doesn’t make a large sound, but it stings my ear and
Amelia’s POVI shut the door close with a bang and lean myself against the door. After crying for a long time, I need air now. Nyx doesn’t follow me. Finally, I have a chance to breath. I squat down and take deep breaths, trying not to think about Nyx, because just thinking about him makes me cry. He’s a real jerk!I need to do something to get diverted. My feet still hurt. And there’s throbbing pain in my head. My eyes are swollen and sore from crying. I’m now a whole mess.I wash up my face, shuffle to the bed, and collapse into it. Already exhausted, I close my eyes, trying to get some sleep.But sleep evades me. It’s the first time that I sleep in another room ever since I was brought to this pack. And I'm used to sleeping with Nyx by my side. Now, alone in this large bed, I toss and turn and just can't sleep.I don’t know how long has passed. I get up, stand in front of the window, pull open the curtain, and open the window. The night breeze brushes against my face, making me fee
Nyx’s POVThis is going to be the worst day I’ve ever had in my life. And the lack of sleep last night is only a minimal reason. The fight with my mate is killing me.When Amelie left the bedroom and left me alone last night, it felt that she also ripped away part of my heart and took it away. She was in the bedroom next door, and I wanted badly to see how she was doing. But I knew she didn’t want to see me at all. The mixed feeling of frustration and remorse that I seldom felt in the past overwhelmed me.I picked up the jewelry case from the ground and opened it. Inside was a pair of diamond earrings. I walked to the window with the small case in my hand, looked outside the window, and murmured, “Moon Goddess, what should I do?”Four o’clock in the morning, I forced myself to sleep because tomorrow would be busy. But sleep evaded me. Just thinking about how sad she was wrenched at my heart.In the morning, the first thing she wanted to tell me when she met me was that she wanted to l
Amelia’s POVActually, there is more I want to say. I have a question. Nyx said that Eva is just a temporary Luna. Now he finds his mate. Shouldn’t the new mate become the Luna?Never mind. I think I know the answer. I’m a human being. How can a human being become the Luna?Nyx moves his lips and tries to say more, but he’s interrupted by the phone ring. He checks his phone. I also see the screen. It’s from the Gamma. Nyx hangs it up and puts it on the table. And it rings immediately when Nyx is about to say something.“Answer it. Your pack needs you.” I pick up his phone from the table, put him through, and hand it over.The call is already in progress. So Nyx can only answer it.I stand up and walk upstairs. I don’t stop when I pass the bedroom that we once shared. Instead, I walk directly to the room next door.He’s the alpha, and he serves his pack. That’s very normal.And I’m going back to the human world. That’s where I belong to.With everything figured out, I have a good sleep
Nyx’s POVWhat Amelia says surprises me.I look her in the eye to confirm if she means it.I can tell from her eyes that she’s worried about the girls who once spoke ill of her.My little human being mate is so sweet and kind-hearted. It softens my heart.“Nyx!” she pulls my hand to urge me. I give her a reassuring smile and turn to face the crowd.“Dear pack members, my mate just expressed concern for those who offended her. She asked me to stop the punishment. As your alpha, I never go back on my words. However, today, I’ll make an exception. Out of respect for her wishes and her generous heart, I hereby declare that the punishment is lifted. I hope all of you will recognize and appreciate the depth of her kindness.”Silence falls. The next second, cheers and applause ring out. The girl who hasn’t passed out looks up at us with gratitude. Then they’re all taken away for medical treatment.I turn my head and look at Amelia. She seems a little uncomfortable because of the sudden atte
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
