Luckily we were able to find an old abandoned house inside the woods, yes! Let me use abandoned because no single soul could be seen around here.The smell of old woods and dust was the only thing emerging from the house."If we were to stay here, I think we need a lot of work to do," Jade said when rambling around the house."I think that we should just spend a night here," I mumbled."We can't keep striding around the whole wood every goddamn time, we need a place to settle down," came Jerome's annoying voice."Staying in a place, they could easily trace us," I enunciate "I think Amelia is right," Jade affirmed, earning a tender smile from me."So we have to keep hiding," Jerome uttered harshly."Is not like it is a new thing to you, you have been in hiding for more than twenty-something years now," I said with a scowling face and a raised brow."Huh," he laughed bitterly."Have you ever asked yourself what these people will do to you if they ever find you…… Never for once give the
"Who are you?" "I am just a slave girl," I shortly replied."I know that you are a slave girl but who are you?" "And I just answered you," I glared."That mark on your neck says another thing," "It was just a scar," I shrugged but his lips drew back in doubt."A scar," he repeats, amassing a nod from me."Then what do you have to say about Allen?" I halt in my step at the mention of that very name.My breath quickened on hearing his name. Holding the door frame, I inhaled sharply."I have nothing to discuss with you," "You know that you can't keep running away from the truth, Amelia," His words pang sharply into my heart like a deep cut.I know that soon my identity and who I truly am will be unveiled.My goal will soon be revealed and till then I am ready to be in the shell.Without throwing him any glance, I ambled out of the room and down the lobby where Jade was sitting with his eyes darting thoughtfully across the empty space."Hey!" I tapped Jade on the shoulder before plo
I felt my breath inch in my throat at the word that escapes my lips, "Mate……! My eyes widened as the word slipped out from my lips, all I could do was stare.As if it was monsoon season, it started to drizzle outside. The sound of the rain pelting on the trees could be heard vaguely.Watching the sound of his movement approach me as he stepped out from the shadow. His long curly hair is damp due to the rain and a tiny droplet of water kept dripping down his face giving it an enticing sight. He probably noticed my gaze, he glanced at me with his eyes twinkling in excitement.Scrunching my face and narrowing my lips in disgust, I notice the smile at the corner of his lips instantly wiped off.This is damn crazy! Not again though my heart feels happy but I know that this is really messed up.I might have been craving and yearning for this but right now I knew better.I can't get mated to the two brothers……. No freaking way!Has the moon goddess not gotten enough drama from me? Why pa
Alpha Khalid's pov: I stomped back and forth across the floor of my office, waiting for my cloak-and-dagger man, my secret spy to arrive.I can feel the rage rising with each step that I took, the rage rushing out like lava.No matter what I do the anger was still there, how did I become so reluctant when that idiot had my secrets in her palms?How can I allow him to keep roaming around when he held my downfall at the tip of his fingers?With a wrinkled face and a twitched jaw, I clenched the glass of whiskey in my hand, piecing it into shreds."Fuck!" I groaned in annoyance, why is it taking him too long to finish that girl? That jerk of a guy had never flunked me before, he was one of my best!Did he still have an idea that I can end him within a twinkle of an eye? Slamming my hand against my brown desk, I heaved in a deep breath and tried to calm myself down a bit. "Jade is dancing to a dangerous tone," I groaned, massaging my temple. Drooping my head low, I inhaled sharply,
Amelia's pov: I staggered back when stammering in disbelief.This can't be……!So the newly fresh breath was no other but Allen.The odd pull was the mate bond!So all the while it was him……! What another disaster do you find yourself in, Amelia? I kept shaking my head at him, tears threatening to slip out from my eyes. I feel like hugging him but this is all messed up.I kept puling, silent puff sounds kept escaping my throat. Holding my lips, I pule but not that loudly. Shaking my head sideways I restrained him from taking a step forward."Stop it, Amelia," his ear-splitting voice sent chills down my spine, but clenching my already torn clothes, I shook my head at him in disapproval."Why the sudden change of mind…… we have always wanted this, I have long waited for a day like this," his voice sounds terrifying but staring at his eyes held a lot of emotions that had me doubting his voice."Allen, you are a good person but I can't! I just can't…….!" Pulling my black flowy hair, I
Allen's pov:"Amelia!!" I screamed but she didn't turn back. I watched as her figure vanished into the shadow of the cloudy night. I staggered and leaned back at the tree with my head lowered in anger.She easily walked away as if nothing happened, this is the second time that she has sauntered away from my heart without caring about how I felt.I knew immediately when she turned eighteen that we were mates but she didn't feel anything due to the pain that the bond which she shared with Albin brought her.I gradually slid down the tree with my head in between my two palms.With an indistinct look, my cold eyes gazed into the night.I stared into the darkness as I could feel the rage rising with each minute.The rage that she deems my brother her mate and calls us messed up.The fact that she was careless about my feelings! No matter what I did, the rage was still there……. Counting to ten or taking a sharp breath, still, nothing seemed to happen.The rage was still there, I refused t
Alpha Khalid's pov: Standing up from my chair, I stride toward Albin's room. Stopping at his room, I raised my hand and gave a gentle knock at the door. "Enter," he said promptly. Pushing his door, I walked him. He was just sitting beside his window with a glass of wine looking depleted. Despite ordering the person to enter inside, he didn't even try to know who might have come into his chamber. My nose scrunched in disgust as the smell of alcohol lingered around his room, glancing around with my eyes narrowing in annoyance. I noticed the empty jars of alcoholic drinks on the floor. His room looks tattered, everything was not arranged. The bedspread is almost under his mattress, and none of his five pillows were on his bed. Used tissue papers were seen tossed around his room, and used pliable plates and broken ones were around everywhere. Pieces of bottles broken into shreds were at every corner of his room with a liquid stain on the wall; looks like a jar of drink was smashed
"Quicken your steps!!"I inhaled sharply and scrambled toward the house.Approaching the house, I held a nearby tree there for support.I tried to inhale and exhale, struggling to catch my breath.And just then I started hearing footsteps, it was as if they were running or could I say brawling.I didn't notice that I was almost close to the old house till I lifted my head. My eyes widened as my jaw dropped at the scene in front of me.I watched in awe as Amelia's hand reached up and grabbed one of the intruders by the collar.I attempted to make a move but remembering her word that she doesn't ever want to see me glue me to my spot. Holding me back from stepping forward. Intruders…… wait!" I knew these people, this is my father's warriors, and wait is this, not Jefferson, my father's best spy?Why are they here?What is going on, did my father send them? The intense cry of one of the men pulled me out of my reverie state.I was still behind the tree with the shadow of the night obs
