When Ami woke up the next morning she had expected her phone to be full of messages from Connor, but there weren't even one, not as much as an answer to her text.
She sighed, the wise thing would probably be to wait for him to contact her, as he was the one who should be apologising. But she couldn't wait, she needed to see him, to hold him.He had acted wrong, but he had done it to protect her. And this, no contact, not talking, it didn’t feel good at all.
She tried calling him, but it went straight to the answering machine. Then she tried texting Joel, but he was on his way back from filming in the other end of Denmark and hadn't bThis might seem like the end… but it isn’t
Ami had been truthful when she told Connor she forgave him. She didn't hate him, it was impossible for her. In some ways, she might even still love him.But she knew they couldn't be together, the distance and their busy lives alone might very well have been enough to drive them apart. Add to that his jealousy and insecurities. What he did had been the final straw.She could no longer trust him, especially not when they would be so far apart. She knew she wouldn't be able to do it for long. She had had enough of cheating from Daniel.Even though she didn't hate him she was disappointed and so very hurt. She had given him her everything, so how could he do that ? Go sleep with someone else.&n
part II6 months later"That was amazing, Ami. Simply great". Jasper smiled happily at her and hugged her tight. She returned both the hug and the smile. "Thank you sweetie, it was so much fun being out there, thank you for believing in me".She had just done her first full concert, shortly after releasing her first album, and it had been like a dream. Ami still had a really hard time believing that she was living this fairy-tale, it was like everything just happened for her now. H
"Ami I got a really big surprise for you". Jasper came into his office smiling happily, his voice excited. She looked up at him. He had called her in the morning asking her for a meeting as soon as humanly possible. "Hi Jasper, you make me all nervous now". "Don't worry my dear, nothing to fear, only good news". He hugged her before sitting back in his chair. Ami was soon just about to go crazy, as Jasper was taking his time looking through some papers on his desk. "For God's sake Jasper, can't that wait ? Tell me what it is".
"Wow, first business class on the plane and now this". Amelia looked around the very expensive looking Malibu apartment she would be living at for the next couple of months. Jasper grinned and put his suitcase down. "Well yeah, they really went all out on comfort, luxury and style. I am not complaining though". "I think I could get used to this life, maybe I will just stay here forever". She said giggling, looking around once more. Jasper opened the fridge, it was filled and he grabbed a bottle of water. "Who knows, but one thing at a time my dear, this afternoon we
"Well hello Ami, I see you still haven't learned to look where you are going". Connor said looking down at her with a smirk and a raised eyebrow.Seeing her again brought him immense joy. Even his docile Wolf peaked up for a moment, whimpering the word ‘mate’ over and over. She looked up at him, her eyes meeting his, those eyes that were nearly impossible to escape and which changed colour depending on the light and his mood. Right now they were a chocolatey brown with green flecks. She sighed, of course it was him, typical of her luck. She hadn't entertained the possibility or maybe she had just pushed it far away.
"You owe me an explanation Jasper. Why didn't you tell me that all of this was Connor’s idea ? And for how long have you known ?" She had just parked in the basement. Jasper looked at her, his expression one of guilt. "Sorry sweetie, Connor called me a month ago. But he made me promise not to mention him when I told you. He was afraid you would say no"."And he was probably right. But I don't like getting played". She got out of the car, slamming the door a bit too hard. Jasper followed her to the elevator. "I am sorry darling. What happened between the two of you ? You seemed s
"Well you two looked kind of cosy". Jasper looked at her when she walked back out on the balcony. She sat down and picked up her glass of wine. "We had an okay evening and I hate to admit it, but you might have been right. We needed to talk about some things". "Well I am happy to hear that, maybe it will make working together a lot easier". He said, sending her a knowing smile. “It’s so nice when things run smoothly … evolves even..”. She glared at him and shook her head. "Forget it Jasper. I can see what you are thinking, it ain't gonna hap
"Morning Jasper, I hope you didn't keep her up too late". Connor said, giving Jasper a friendly hug.It had felt so good talking things through with her, even if it hadn’t been a challenge not to just declare his undying love.But with him in control and his wolf charmed he had a chance to do it right. He would not fail her the second time around. Jasper returned the hug and said grinning. "Nope, she was way too busy getting to bed dreaming about some man". "And then again I find myself hating you Jasper". Ami glared at him. Then she turned toward Connor. "
6 years later "Are you okay baby ?" Connor looked at her with concern across the table. They were sitting in a nice restaurant having dinner. She smiled a calm smile and put a hand on her stomach. "There was just a little bandit in here who felt like using mommy's bladder as a soccer ball". "Oh he is gonna be such a little trouble maker that one". He looked at her lovingly, his eyes so warm and soft. Amelia sent him a lopsided smile. "Yes, I have an inkling that he is going to be very much like his daddy, our little wolf cub". "Do you even know how exquisitely beautiful you are when you are pregnant ?" He grabbed her hand, squeezing it softly. She pulled a face at him. "Oh yeah, It is not like I look like a beached whale at all". "Then you are the most beautiful beached whale ever. I can't seem to keep my eyes or hands off you". He said with a cheeky wink. She arched one eyebrow. "Uh honey, that actually isn't anything new. That has never really been your strong side". He ju
"It is time, Ami". Linda stuck her head in the door and she nodded, taking one last look in the mirror. She felt beautiful and hoped that Connor would feel the same. They had landed in Denmark late in the afternoon the day before and she had spent the night at her parents house with Linda. She walked to the waiting limo and Linda helped her inside. "Oh Ami you look stunning, Connor is so gonna cry when he sees you". "Well the way his hormones are acting up these days I actually fear a whole other reaction". Amelia said giggling and Linda broke down laughing at the thought. She still didn't know where they were going, but she did have an idea and she loved Connor even more for doing this. No Hollywood glamour and paps, just their family and friends in the beautiful Danish summer. And it was an exceptionally beautiful summer day in the beginning of August with the sun high in the sky and the fields heavy with crops as they drove through the landscape. She wasn't nervous. She kne
Two weeks later "Are you okay Connor ?" Joel asked him. He was waiting aboard the private jet with Joel, his family and friends. They waited for his sister and Amelia to arrive. He had managed to keep the wedding plans a secret for her and now it was the day before their wedding. He really hoped he had made the right choice and that she would be happy. He breathed in deeply, his right hand was trembling, but it always did that when he got stressed, one of the few little reminders he still had of his ordeal. "Well I am just nervous if this is the right way to do it, if she is going to be happy". "Don't worry Connor. I am sure that it is the perfect wedding and she is going to love it". Joel put a reassuring hand on his shoulder. Then the limousine drove up next to the plane and Amelia got out with his sister. As always she looked stunning and soon she would finally be his wife, his forever. His Wolf howled with delight. He walked over to the stairs and greeted them. His sister
"Conner you have to let me leave the bed, If I am to plan a wedding". She looked at him. It was about a week later and he had practically kept her hostage in the house. Apparently it was impossible for him to keep his hands off her for more than 15 minutes unless he was sleeping. Not that she complained, so absolutely not, but they had a wedding to plan and only two weeks until the big day and that kind of demanded that she had just a bit of time without his hands and body all over her. He made a really pouting face. "Right now ? Can't it wait just for half an hour or so ?" "Conner you said that yesterday and how much did I get done ?" She asked him, arching one eyebrow. He rolled his eyes and smiled sweetly. "Well you almost made it out the front door one time". "Yes and then you had to kiss me goodbye right ? And threw me over your shoulder like a caveman carrying me back to bed". She crossed her arms and looked at him sternly. His fingers were caressing her thighs. "It wasn
"Ami ?" She heard Connor’s voice and turned towards it. She was standing in the garden in the warm evening, a glass of white wine in her hand. He came towards her from the house and she smiled at him. He was walking almost normally now and she was so proud of him, he had really worked hard. She thought he looked amazing. He had let his beard grow back out, but was keeping it short and trimmed and he was wearing a pair of very well fitting jeans and a green button down shirt, with the top buttons open. He gently took the glas from her and put it on the table. "Sweetie, I have something I want to ask you, but you have to promise to really think about it and answer me honestly okay ?" "Of course Connor, what is it ?" She looked at him wondering what this could be about. He grabbed both her hands and kneeled in front of her, her heart felt like it skipped a couple of beats. "Ami, this time I can do it right and you deserve that". "I love you above anything else and that I will alw
Josh had arrived in London without trouble, but to a big media circus. Everyone wanted to know where he had been and what had happened, and then he got spoiled by his mother, at least that was what his texts said. Connor had made a lot of progress both physically and psychologically himself, especially after accepting Amelia's help. His wolf was also a huge help and a week later he could leave the hospital to go home. They had feared coming home to a destroyed house, but he had called his father and incredibly enough his house had only suffered minor damage, which had already been fixed. When they arrived in LA the city was almost unrecognisable, of course it wasn't all back to normal, but it had been cleaned and people were rebuilding everywhere. They spend the first week returning to a somewhat normal life, talking about what they wanted to do now. Amelia wasn't longer sure she wanted to pursue a singing career. She needed some more time to think, and he had said he would supp
When Amelia woke up the next morning, she was pretty sure she still had feathers in her mouth as she had actually bitten a hole in his pillow trying not to scream. Her cheeks got heated by the memory, it had been so amazing. He really knew some tricks. Even with the situation being as it was and she knew that no matter what, she would never go wanting in that area, but for his sake she hoped he would be able to actually make love to her fully, sooner or later. She could hear that Connor was still asleep, his breathing deep and steady. He was pressed against her, one arm under her head and the other protecting around her waist, the hand resting on her stomach. One of his long legs was wrapped over her legs and she was pretty happy that she didn't have to pee, because she couldn't move at all, instead she snuggled closer to him. "Morning my love". His voice still heavy with sleep, when he nuzzled his nose against her neck, she turned her face to kiss him softly. They got up and dr
*Connor* "Baby, I was thinking if you would like to stay here with me tonight ?" Connor let a finger trail gently over her cheek, he really hoped that she wanted to stay with him. She looked at him lovingly, he loved that she was looking at him like that again. "Of course, I would love that". The bed was wide enough to fit them both, if they just stayed close together and none of them had a problem with that. After he had brushed his teeth, he stripped down to his boxers and crawled into bed. Even though not all of his feeling senses had returned, he still wanted her as close as possible. Luckily he could now feel her kisses on his mouth and neck, he could feel her hands in his hair and he could feel her soft skin and enticing curves under his hands. She came out from the bathroom and he looked at her, she was wearing one of his t-shirts, having her hair loose down around her shoulders. In his eyes she was the most beautiful and sexy just like this. "Come here my beautiful". H
"Hi Josh, are you okay ?" Amelia said as she walked into his room. It was evening and Conner had gotten hold of a hairdresser to do something about his hair and beard, so she decided to check on Josh. He smiled at her. His jaw was rather badly bruised, but otherwise he looked like himself. "Hi Ami, what have you done with Conner ?" "He is getting a shave and a haircut, thank God". She said with a small grin and sat down in the other chair. “He was starting to look like a werewolf” Josh nodded. "Well that was about time, but how is he ? I talked to the doctor, apparently he has been working really hard since the day he disappeared". "Yes he has really made progress, his legs are almost functioning normally now. He needs to keep up his sessions with the psychologist for some time, but he is a lot better and he has gotten the feeling back in his face and partially on the arms and hands". She smiled happily. Josh smiled back at her and winced, it clearly hurt to smile. "I am so happ
