Amelia’s POV

“Can’t you stay for dinner?” I ask him. It’s Sunday afternoon, and he’s getting dressed. I choose a tie and wear it for him. Perfect!

“Sorry, honey, I need to leave,” Nyx says. He looks perfect in the clothes I picked out for him. If only he stays here with me in this suit and tie.

He is about to leave. I stop him by tugging at his suit. He turns around and sees me in curiosity.

“You look so handsome tonight. Stay with me. You know today I’m turning twenty…”

I purse my lips and mumble. He smiles at my reaction, leans over, and kisses me. By doing so, he also interrupts me.

The kiss lasts for a minute. When he stops, I already forget what I’m going to say.

“Honey, I really need to leave. I have an important meeting. And I’ll stay out late. No need to wait for me tonight.” He kisses me on the forehead and leaves soon.

I stare at the door of the bedroom, although he has already left.

This is my birthday and all I get is a kiss, awesome!

Twenty! I’m turning twenty! What more

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.

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.

    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.

    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

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

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.

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.

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 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!

    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
