The day of the party had finally arrived, and I prepared different varieties of dishes. I made a lot of food just to please the demon brothers.
After a busy day, I seem tired, and my whole body hurts. I felt sore all over my body but I couldn't do anything. I was done preparing the food but so bad, I still had a lot of work to do.
People have started arriving and I still have to get something in order, I need to keep the table and presider intact to avoid any problems from those demon brothers.
Walking quickly to get things done, I almost knocked down a plate of food. Fortunately, Allen helped in time and survived the disaster.
Almost to the ground, I felt a hand sneaking across my waist pulling me forward. My face hit a thick body. At first, I thought that it was a rock until I indirectly peeped and noticed that it was a manly body.
Lifting my head, our eyes locked together. I was startled to see Allen holding me almost to his body. I was confused as I didn't notice where Allen came out from.
We kept staring into each other's eyes, and for hours we couldn't tear away our gaze. I felt different emotions swirling around his eyes but I couldn't place a finger on what exactly it was.
The blooming of music brought us back to reality, Allen chuckled as he seemed a little embarrassed. His face darkened and immediately he changed to his stern tone.
"You have to be careful in case next time,"
With that one word, he walked out of the place. I stood there for hours not knowing what to say or how to react. I didn't even get to appreciate him for saving me from humiliation before he strode out of the place.
"Does that mean that Allen held me in his hands?" I thought before a grin slipped into my lips as the memory flooded my head. At some point, I forget myself as the way that Allen held me still plays in my head.
"Get yourself out of my way!"
I snapped out of my dazed state as I heard someone yell at me. Swallowing the lumps on my throat, I let out a tiring sigh.
"I still have a lot to do," I mumbled before walking away to proceed with what I was doing before.
When I brought the last plate of food to the party and turned around to leave, something got my attention. I saw Albin flirting with all kinds of beauty around me.
Sighing I decided to tear away my gaze from them when Albin saw me, I unhurriedly pulled my gaze off them. I still smelled, dirty, and disgusted. Trying to walk away from the party, I heard a mocking snarl from Albin.
"Who do we have here?"
"The malodorous little brat," he mocked with a narrowed glare.
I gulped nervously with my eyes shut as I felt different eyes fixed on me, clenching my faded dirty clothes tight. I decided to take a step out of the place but Albin's authoritative voice held me in place.
"Don't you dare make a move!!"
"Aren't you happy that your future Alpha recognizes you out of everyone here?" He mumbled quietly but the height of mockery on it couldn't be mistaken.
Striding forward, with me in one spot, he quickly halts on his track half covering his nose earning a laugh from every single soul in there.
"You smell awful!!!"
"What a waste of time," he cursed.
"Get the hell out of here….. You odorous creature," he latched out, causing me to flinch back in fear.
My heart shattered when I felt everyone join in Albin's mocking, I could clearly see their mockery faces and smiles.
Just when I was at my loss, I felt something ignite within her. Staggering back a bit, I tightened my grip on the chair.
"Ahh…" my whole body was shaking, I could feel something awake inside of me.
The crowd seemed a little terrified and eager to know what was going on, Albin still had a mockery grin on his lips.
I seemed worried as I noticed my body shaking tremendously with my eyes changing a series of colors and before I knew it I heard a famine voice in my head.
"Hello, Amelia…."
"I am your wolf, Avery, an ancient wolf," I was stunned as I mumbled her name repeatedly.
"Mate!!" She half-whispered.
But before I could react I felt the marvelous smell irking around the place, it was the smell of honey and jelly which had my mouth salivating.
My body suddenly woke up as the intoxicating smell hit my nostril hard. "Mate…." It was the smell of my mate and the mate also noticed.
But my smile got wiped off after the person turned out to be Albin after we both confirmed our eyes. Albin's anger fumes as he glares dangerously at me.
I watched as his brow darkened in anger, he tightened his grip on the glass of wine he was holding, and before we all knew it. The glass pieces the whole place, anger caressing his brow.
"Ooh!!" The crowd shrieked with their mouth forming an O shape. I staggered back as I felt him move toward me
Stepping forward a bit with his hand lifted, Albin mumbled something under his breath before staring me dead in the eyes and muttering.
"I the future Alpha of the black moon pack reject you, Amelia Willow as my mate and luna,"
"No!!!......" I cried out as my heart broke into tiny pieces.
This is not fair!! Why is the moon goddess so unfair to me? After all the pain that I went through.
Why is she so mean? How can she pay me back by giving me Albin as my mate?
The moon goddess is unfair!! Was that what I deserved after suffering so much? I am hurting deeply and all she could do is by giving me Albin, my bully, as my mate.
"Ahh!......" My heart hurts. I cried out as I wasn't expecting Albin to be my mate.
I knew that he wasn't going to accept me as his mate in his life, so I decided to accept the rejection calmly. But before I could say my acceptance I was forcefully held down by Albin.
"Don't you dare accept the rejection!!" He threatened.
"Huh!" With eyes full of tears I looked up at him.
"I asked you a question!!" He snapped.
Opening my mouth, a sob escaped through my lips causing me to quickly half cover my mouth with my hands before nodding in response.
"Good," he mumbled.
Leaning closer he whispers into my ear, "I don't want you finding another mate, don't think that you are important…." He slurred.
"Am stopping you from saying the acceptance because I want you to suffer, I want you to go through hell……!!" He said to me proudly, causing my body to shudder in fear with tears sliding down my face.
With an aching pain and teary eyes, I ran out of the ceremonial ground into the pack house. Running toward my room, I slammed the door behind me. My heart aches and breaks into tiny pieces, I felt that the moon goddess was too cruel to me, and now, can I only live in the circle of slaves all my life and be oppressed by Albin? Tears slid down my eyes and split into tiny droplets down my cheeks. I felt hurt and unloved and a groan escaped my lips forcing me to my feet. I let out a disheartened cry as the image of my parents flooded my head, with teary eyes I could see their smiling faces at me.The way that I ran around the pack with my parents around our pack clouded my mind, holding my heart. I fell with a sob.My laughing teaching through my mind as I wiped bitterly, the image of my father lifting me in the air slipped into my head. The lingering smile on my mother's face as she watches us hurts me badly.I miss my old life! I miss my parents so much.My life hasn't been the sam
Allen's pov: Before Amelia fainted, I rushed toward her and caught her in time.I engulfed her tight before lying her down slowly to avoid mistakenly touching her wounds. I tried to know if I could wake her up, leaning a bit, I noticed that her heart was chaotic and that caused fear to slip into my scared gaze. I was worried that she couldn't wake up. I could still remember vividly the day that they brought her inside this pack, she was pretty and chubby, but she seemed scared. Our father refused to tell us the truth about where and how they came in contact. He only told us that the pack challenged them and outraged him so he got annoyed and engaged in a fight with them and that's how the girl came into existence.I couldn't buy that lie, I knew my father quite well to be the one that attacked innocent people and the other way about.But my brother Albin bought the lie, I wasn't surprised at his action because he was the same as the old cruel man.And we made it our everyday rout
Amelia's pov: I suddenly felt sober and dizzy. My head is spinning around, I was slightly pushed by those people abusing me Falling to the floor, I lifted my head and noticed that it was the same day as the party. My mind glazed around in thoughts. Wasn't I killed by Albin? Did the moon goddess really give me another chance? I squeezed my clothes and battled with the emotions within me. I sat there paralyzed and was being laughed at by Albin and the guests. He stared at me like I am a plague, and with heads lowered I felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. My eyes teared up as I watched them make gist out of me. I was stinky and dirty and shouldn't have entered the party. I realized that the goddess of the moon really gave me a second chance. This time I looked at Allen's trail first, I noticed him stare back at me from a distance and tried to come over but was stopped by people around him. I knew that he wanted to come and save me from the humiliation and shame. "She
Allen's pov:My jaw clenched tightly at the ignominy of her being tossed around like she was worth nothing.I wanted to go and save her but it seems like the people around me knew my intentions because I was being held back. She seemed hurt and vulnerable. It looks like she was hurting inside with no one to help her.I stared at my brother but I noticed how reluctant he seemed. He was busy flirting with the beauties all around him to care much about his surroundings or what was happening around him.Not like he will even do anything even if he had the idea.The hatred that he had for Amelia was too much for him to see right through it.When she was ordered to serve every single soul represented I knew that it was another way to humiliate her more.I wanted to scream for her not to do it but no word seemed to come out.I wished that she could just turn around and walk away but it's not like she had the power to do that.I watched her swallow nervously and started attending to them on
Allen's Pov: I stomp back and forth in my room, trying to wrap my head around the event of yesterday but with each step that I take, I seem to get more confused. I couldn't predict what that was supposed to mean. No matter what I do, counting to ten or taking a deep breath……. Yet nothing seems to work, I just can't settle. My palms suddenly felt clumsy and sweaty, I rubbed my palms over my clothes and shoved them inside my pants pocket. I have never felt this way before, part of me felt empty. I could feel an aching pain in my heart, but I sighed and ignored it. It has been days now after the party and I haven't seen Amelia nor have I heard from her. Something didn't seem right when I stared at her at the party. I felt a pull and I couldn't explain what it meant or why I was drawn to her. Everything that happened there seemed strange to me. I haven't experienced something like that before and that's what had me confused. I wanted to know what happened at the party, I mea
Amelia's pov: Since yesterday's event, I have been avoiding Albin. I have been stuck in my room in pain that I got mated with him again. I could feel an aching pain in my heart. My heart aches and breaks into tiny pieces, I felt that the moon goddess was too cruel to me, and now, can I only live in the circle of slaves all my life and be oppressed by Albin? Tears slid down my eyes and split into tiny droplets down my cheeks. I felt hurt and unloved and a groan escaped my lips forcing me to my feet. Silent tears rolled down my face wetting my cheeks, I sneezed and looked away, I stared deeply into the thin air as my mind glazed in thought. The erratic beating of my heart clouded my sense of reasoning as I didn't hear the clicking sound of the doorknob of my room pulled. I failed to notice that someone walked in. The forcefulness of the door slamming at the wall caught me off guard and at that moment Albin and Allen rushed inside my room angrily. "Who do we have here?" Wi
I watched as he engulfed me tight before lying me down slowly to avoid mistakenly touching my wounds. I grip hold of his clothes as I stared back at him. We continued staring at each other for a while before he quickly looked away. I tried to speak but winch in pain, I watched him gently stroke my cheeks to calm me down. I smiled sadly at his gesture and tilted my neck sideways while staring into the thin air. Still clenching his clothes, my mind glazed around in thoughts as I stared into the thin air. What will become my fate now that I have discovered that Albin is my mate? I have only one thing that is still keeping me alive and that is the quest of bringing honor to my family. But with the chaos going on now, how am I to survive as Albin's mate? Am I going to continue dwelling in this pain forever? I shut my eyes and let out a sigh. "I think I need to amend your wounds," I was snapped back by Allen's words. I stared at him for some time and looked away and I swear th
Amelia's pov: I lay down when abruptly I felt the door yanked open, the forcefulness of the door slamming at the wall. Bam! I know that it is not Allen but who could it be? Maybe Albin! Fear slid inside of me clenching my heart. I shut my eyes and waited for the worst but nothing seemed to happen after some minutes and I pulled my eyes open. Turning around I flinched suddenly as I noticed the angry gaze of the three omegas staring down at me. I quickly jolted up, ignoring the burning scar on my back. "What do you think that you are doing, lying down here by this time of the day?" One of them blurted, and I could remember her name as Tessy. "I…… I took permission from Caroline," the word got stuck at the tip of my tongue. I wanted to tell them that I took permission but how sure am I that Allen honored his words? What if he didn't keep to his words of taking permission? "I…..well I " I am talking to you, brat!" The other girl who I didn't know her name though I do hear
Amelia's pov: Standing at the door with Jade laughing his ass out, I heard someone call my name more like a whisper. Turning around after I must have pulled off the beard with my hair loosened and allowed it to flow down my back. My eyes widened in shock at the person behind the pillar. "Allen…….!" I called with doubt. Jade stifled before peeping his head to see the guy standing in the hallway looking back at me. "What is going on there?" Jerome's voice from inside. But none of us said a word, our eyes were fixed on the gut outside, immediately his gaze connected with that of Jade it darkened. "Allen," I called again, drawing his attention back to me. "You are the maid all these while and………" he stared at me and then back at Jade and Jerome. "Hmmm…… " I cleared my throat, "Yeah," I nodded. And just then Ryan walked toward us, on noticing the scene in front of him, I saw his jaw drop. Trying to take a step back, Allen rushed him and smashed him against the wall nearer to him
Allen's pov:Things were tough and devastating for me, my life has never been confusing and broken for me.People that I dine with and call my family are the exact people that brought me pain and killed my real parents.I have done a lot of research on my background finding some hidden truths that I never knew existed.And how the so-called Alpha Khalid killed the Willows just for power Amelia was the only one that survived the attack and that's how she came into the pack. Finding out the unclean business that he does and every other illegal thing.Since the incident, I don't feel anything for him again, merely looking at him makes my stomach sick.The only thing that flickers in my eyes when staring at him is hatred and anger.Though I shouldn't have achieved the research without the help of Ryan who helps me by connecting me to some old scholars.Sitting beside my window, the door was pushed open and Ryan walked inside.I called him because of the mystery maid that I saw him with e
It has been almost fucking two weeks now and Allen hasn't spoken to me, we both have bumped into each other at times but he never stopped to say hi or even acknowledge my presence.I might act tough and keep a long face but deep down it hurts, especially when the bond is still there.Luckily, I have succeeded in pulling Ryan into helping us sneak in to help Allen.Hug! The dude accepted without a second thought not when his friend's title and that of his status were at risk.Yeah! You all can call it manipulating but I don't care.Tell me how do I save someone or get you help when the person wasn't talking to me though it seems like we both have the same priority now?Especially now that he finds out about his true identity, but I don't know what he has in mind since he has not disclosed anything to me yet. His next move is something that I don't know, I can't possibly go asking Ryan, that smart dude will find it suspicious.But one thing is for sure, I know that his mind is set on ho
Things are about to get severe!Rushing after Allen who seemed outraged. I spared Jade who lowered his head in shame one last glance and ran after Allen before Ryan could make any move."Allen……!"Allen…….!" Allen……. Allen!" I kept calling him but not even one glance was spared my way.It was as if he didn't hear me, this is the first time that I am seeing him snub me. He does get angry at times but snubbing me is a no-no, he has never done that.Before I could stretch out my hand to touch him, I noticed a figure walking up to us.Slightly turning to know who might be the intruder, boom……. It was the last person that I expected on this earth, Albin!Seeing me his gaze widened with his jaw dropped as he glanced between angry-looking Allen, me, and back to the house."What is going on here?" He seethed but got no reply.Allen had a lot roaming through his head that he didn't even acknowledge or even spare him a look.Walking past him, Albin tried pulling Allen back but seeing the murd
On an alert, we all whirled our heads in the direction where the sound was coming from.My ear perked up with my eyes changing a darker shade of my wolf's eyes so that I could see clearly anything behind or lurking behind the wood.Using the back of my palm, I lifted it with a wave exhorting them to remain calm and vigilant but just then someone emerged from the shadows."Alpha……!" With our eyes widening, we all say in unison.Chuckling, he smiles at us especially when his eyes lock with mine."We thought that you left for your penthouse," I said. id as if I wasn't happy seeing him here."No! Sorry but I changed my mind," he said."Running will only make me seem like a fool and coward," I nodded at him with my eyes swiveling around in search of his pack members, "Where are your family and that of pack members?" Looking behind him, he muttered, "You all can now come out," And just then, crowds started emerging from the trees and coming into view. Am confused though, why hide before?
Chapter hundred and twenty-tenAmelia's pov:It was a great thing escaping from that fight, not after the dagger might have stabbed Allen.This is definitely not how we planned to end the stuff, I planned on finishing them right that moment though I found out something that the guy clothed in black fabric fighting me was actually Albin.Though I was glad that the warriors of the moonlight were ready and alerted like we planned, everything went well till Allen got stabbed.I still can remember my conversation with Allen earlier concerning the moonlight pack before he got a mind link from his father.I held that conversation earlier to extract information from him which happens to work out, messing with his head a little since I know that he is gonna choose me over his family though. So it won't be that hard having him do what I needed. Flashback"Uh, I guess, right," standing up, I turned to leave but he held me back."Is not really what you think, I can explain,"
Albin's pov:My gaze swept toward Allen who just stood there looking unbothered.Still having those blank expressions, I so much wanted him to scream or do something and stop acting like he cared not.This attitude of his is slowly getting on my nerves. This is a trap and we just hurl into it, someone leaked our plan and my mind is telling me that it is this mug brother of mine."Someone got on us but the funny part is that we are not going to back down," I said to them."Shouldn't we go back through the hole?" One of the guards said.I so much wanted to shove his head immediately that word left his lips but killing them, will keep reducing my warriors."That will make us a coward," I snapped."But that is for our safety," Allen said, earning a smirk from me."Our safety, huh," I grinned wickedly."Our safety when you……." I point at him."Can explain better about this sudden hole and this person here," I point to the hole and then outside the window."We are covered in all anger by t
Chapter hundred and twenty-eightAlbin's pov:Ambling out of the room, I saw him walking outside toward where the guards were all waiting for me.I smirked and walked toward the direction of the guards like the newly elected Alpha.Stopping in front of them, my face hardened as I stood in their presence.They all bowed their heads and greeted me submissively.Allen seemed reluctant, smirking as I raised my brow at him. He has no choice but to also bow his head."Oh! Brother, you always have to know that I am your superior no matter what, have that at the back of your thick head that you will always be below me," patting his shoulders not minding that people were there, I smirked."You will always be below me," leaning almost to his ear, I whispered with a deadly smile before distancing myself away from him.Everyone seemed uncomfortable as their eyes darted at me and Allen.Clapping my two hands together, I yelled at them, "Arrange everything we are leaving in no time," I watched as
Standing in front of the window with a glass of wine whirling around my palms, I stare outside looking at the pack members going about their duties.This week has been stressful and tiring, it has been from one problem to the other.My father, the mighty Alpha that was well known for his fierce and vicious ways, lost to that mug of an Alpha of the moonlight pack all because of some stranger wolves.And only that but my father's business that he has all over and around America and some other countries clashing and crumbling one after the other.Who knows the next one crumbling, thinking of this one and having the one that you least expected shattered in your eyes. It has been a bad week, let me just say month because we are losing money here and there as each day passes by.The people behind this tragedy still remain unnoticed.This is terrible and at the same time frustrating because no one knows the people behind the sudden tragedy.Thinking that everything is under control is a lie
