Amelia's p.o.v Not only were we taken by force from our pack, all that we knew and grew up cherishing was destroyed, despite having no one to love and to protect me, she probably did, and seeing them being killed and slaughtered was a horrible feeling. What's even worse was that we were supposed to please the same pack that killed our pack members. "I don't know when my owner will be back." She said in a cracked voice. "Owner?" I asked to try and understand what she was talking about. "Yes, my owner." She answered then pulled out her hands from mine. "When we reached the pack, you were taken away while we were ordered to stand there. A warrior went ahead to call the other males that had remained behind." She said then swallowed hard and put her hand together on her lap. "Then the warriors came running happily towards us..." She trailed off as her voice broke and tears continued to fall. "You don't have to tell me anything. So don't." I whispered sadly as tears filled my
Amelia's p.o.v "You have a mate!" She asked on top of her voice. "No, I don't. But I know deep down my heart that he will be very handsome and sexy." I blurted the words out in defense. She kept quiet and gave me a suspicious eye for a few seconds. "If you have, you can tell me. You don't have to hide it, you know." She muttered under her breath. "I told you already that I don't have one." I said nervously then bumped her shoulder to mine. "Okay, if you say so." She answered. "Look, if I was already mated would I still be a virgin?" I asked softly. She kept quiet then shrugged. "I had no idea that you were a virgin." She answered then smiled warmly. "It feels good to know I'm not the only one who lacks experience in that area." She finished. I chuckled softly then sighed. "You are not alone. I'm a virgin and I'm not mated, if I was, I could have been marked by now because we both know how possessive the males are when it comes to their fem
Amelia's p.o.v "Amelia, are you going to sleep in bed the whole day?" Toni asked beside me in concern. Yes, I was!. After yesterday's incident, I was angry with myself and them. But above all, I didn't want to get on those stupid girls' bad side. "You heard that elderly woman's words. We are better off here and much safer." I answered, then turned on the bed and faced the other side. "For goodness sake Amelia that was yesterday in the afternoon. Now it's evening, it's a different day!. Moreover, she emphasized not to walk out on the night of the full moon, and it's not yet the night of the full moon. You refused to go downstairs to the kitchen or eat anything as well!" She exclaimed. "That's because I'm not hungry." I answered simply. "Then take a bath, that's the least you can do." She said seriously. I sighed loudly then sat upright and faced her. "Do they share the bathrooms like they share the kitchen?" I asked. "Yes, here they share everything apart from the be
Amelia's p.o.v Why was I crying over such a thing when I had gone through worse?. By now I was supposed to be stronger and unaffected. She was acting exactly like Merbal did, I wasn't supposed to give in and show her my weak side. "Let's take a closer look at her." One warrior announced as they all agreed and moved closer surrounding me. "She surely has a lot of bruises on her body, wait she has scars too." Another warrior said as they laughed even more. I bit my lower lip as tears continued to fall. "Those aren't from our pack. " Peit said seriously. "Of course not!. They aren't, she came with them and when I asked some ladies from her pack, they confirmed that she was the servant of their pack who carried out all orders." The blonde lady answered. I looked at her coldly then glared. "Piet look at how she's glaring at me." She said loudly. I was about to lower my gaze to the ground when peit leaned in, grabbing my cheek tightly. The pain was intense but I tried no
Amelia's p.o.v Going out of the room was my decision. Not that I wasn't afraid of what the warrior would do to me, but because I figured that a vicious she-wolf was more deadly than an angry warrior. "I still can't believe that you chose to walk out." Toni said in her room. What exactly was I supposed to say?. I wasn't that stupid as to sleep in her room. Celina had a lot of she-wolves under her, it wouldn't take her much to make my life a living hell. "I wasn't comfortable in such a big, grand room. To be honest, I am very content in your room because it's small and very decent." I lied. She looked at me quietly then smiled. "Well, feel free to stay as long as you can." She answered. "Thank you." I said with a fake smile. "Wait here okay ." She said then stood up from the bed. "Where are you going?" I asked as I stood up as well. "I'm going to prepare us something to eat. I am actually starving." She answered. "Toni, I seriously don't think it's a wise decision to go alone
Ian's p.o.vI pushed forward, drawing my wolf back and shutting him into my subconscious.My breath was labored and my head was hurting badly. What the fuck was going on!. What was actually happening to me.The night of the full moon was very close by and that itself made me much more aware of my environment.The night of the full moon was when my curse took its full effect on me than my pack. I went in so much pain and became violent, killing anything and anyone that came into view. At first, the healers of my pack decided to put me on a course of taking ancient herbs in hope that it would work on me or calm me down, sadly it did nothing. My beta was later sent out in search of a powerful witch and he managed to find her. When she came to my pack and looked at me, she immediately claimed that there was nothing she could do about it. The curse I was in, was only to be lifted or broken by the same witch who had cast it. I was furious over her words and wanted to
Amelia's p.o.v I was in tears and still trembling in fear. My mate had hurt me yet again, and this time I was more scared of him than I had ever been. Never was there a day I had thought such a day would come, where I would fear the very person I was destined to be with. "Get up." My wolf ordered. I groaned in pain ignoring the burning ache on my neck and stood up. "Follow him." My wolf commanded me. "What?" I asked in disbelief. "Follow him." She ordered. "Are you insane!" I spat loudly. Was she crazy!. Did she not witness how brutal he was with us, not to forget how he hated us. "Do it Amelia or I will." She growled furiously and in her tone, I could tell that she was very serious. I slowly began to follow where he had gone with a loud beating heart and dry throat. "He will hurt us again." I whispered in silence knowing fully well she was hearing my words. "He is our mate." She replied. This time in a pained tone. "He doesn't want us." I said sadly as tears filled m
Ian's p.o.v I didn't know what to call it or what was happening, for the first time the effect of my curse wasn't affecting me. As much as I hated the omega slave, she was easing my pain away!. I never talked about the unbearable pain to my pack members, the only ones who knew about my condition were Nana, Blade, Sherry, and Neo, my Beta. I never asked for this yet I was born into such a horrible curse. According to the witch who had come to attend to me, the alpha that was cursed a long time ago was a direct link to my bloodline. I slowly looked up and noticed how the half-moon was brightly shining. "Shit," I whispered silently. The pain and attacks I was beginning to have were because the full moon was approaching. I glanced at the omega who was breathing slowly and resting her head against my chest reluctantly. She really had either courage or stupidity. How could she not fear me after all I had done to her?. "Because she belongs to us." Axel answered strongly, snapping m
Kyle's POV "So, are you doing okay?" I asked Uncle August on the phone."Yes, my mate is doing much better as well," he answered simply."I'm glad," I said as I stretched myself on the couch."So, you left your pup and went to have fun?" he asked as I rolled my eyes."You are making it sound terrible, Uncle," I pointed out."Well, your pup is only six months old, and you are already out having fun with your mate," he said as I frowned."My mother was the one who encouraged us to come here. Moreover, it was a promise we made at Lui's ceremony," I answered coldly."Oh, so Amelia is looking after the pup?" he asked in a relieved tone."Of course she is. She and Dad were very happy when they knew of our plans. I kind of feel like they want to make another sibling," I answered as he laughed loudly."No way, they are just happy to be taking care of their grandpup," he said, making me smile.After the birth of my pup, they were very supportive in almost everything. My mother was very close
Kyle's POV "Aren't you going in?" Father asked as I stood outside the ward with a rapidly beating heart.I had no idea why my dad, Ian, had given my father, Axel, control, but I felt grateful. Perhaps it was because Father always knew what to say in the moment and at the right time."I feel cold feet, Father," I whispered honestly.He smirked and then moved his hand to my head, ruffling my hair gently and playfully."Son, you just have to go in; she is waiting for you," he said as I looked at him and then smiled."Always remember, we are the strongholds of our mates as they are for us. You being there for her right now will be heartwarming and ease the tension and worries she might have," he said softly."Thank you, Father," I whispered to him and then slowly grabbed the door handle and pushed it open.When Yuki came into view, I quickly went in and went to her side, embracing her with a warm smile.All the emotions I thought I couldn't feel in that moment came crashing down on me: h
Kyle's POV "Son, calm down," my dad said softly.I glared at him, then shifted my gaze to the side.How could he even ask me to calm down when my mate was struggling in the labor ward to give birth?"Dad, you don't get how I feel right now, so don't tell me to calm down," I answered seriously."You really think I don't understand? I felt that way twice when you and your sister were being born," he said, then moved his hand to my shoulder.I looked at him sadly and rubbed my forehead with my fingers."Wasn't I supposed to be in there?" I asked while looking at the labor ward."Yes, but your mother is right there by her side," he answered.I had been so focused on the pack documents the past few weeks that I paid less attention to Yuki.When the news of her going into labor reached me, I panicked and dropped everything I was doing.And right now, I was feeling so guilty that I wasn't by her side when she needed me the most.I had been standing outside for what felt like forever, and eac
Mariana's POV I sat looking at Roxanne's little pup as I clenched my hands into fists.He was so innocent, yet I knew he would grow up to be the very thing I despised the most because of the blood flowing through his veins.His mother was an Alpha Queen, while his father was a very powerful hybrid. The chances of him becoming any of his father's breed were high, but his chances of becoming an Alpha King were even higher.Would killing him in secret be a bad thing?I quickly averted my eyes when the pup smiled at me.He sat playing with a sword toy, and a powerful witch stood close to the door's entrance, watching his every movement."Excuse me, Miss Alpha Queen. Why do you look at the young master like that?" she asked seriously.Damn it, was it so obvious that I was thinking badly of him?I didn't want anyone to know or find out what my exact thoughts were, at least not now. If I was going to kill the little pup, I had to do it discreetly."You must not have heard the news from Rox
August's POV "So?" I asked Kyle on the phone."I called Garren yesterday, and he said Mariana is doing okay, although she looked very afraid and conflicted when she met the other members of his territory," he answered."And the Alpha king's mate?" I asked."She decided to stay in Lui's pack because she felt free and safe there," he replied."I'm sorry, Uncle August, but why did you leave like that without a word? You missed out on a lot," he asked.I slowly turned in my seat behind my desk and looked at Tanya, who was sleeping on the bed. I could still see a light shade of red under her lashes.I had never seen her cry so much before. She refused to eat most of the time or talk to me as much as she used to.I was trying my very best to comfort her, yet it did nothing; I was running out of options."Something bad happened, and I didn't want to inform anyone. We had to leave immediately because it involved my mate, and she asked that of me," I answered and then stood up from my seat."
Lui's POV "Are you okay?" I asked Akira with concern."Yes, how could I not be after the exciting day we have had?" she answered playfully.These past few years have brought us closer than we already were. Not only did we share a mark, but we also shared an amazing, mature bond.She was more open with me, and I got to see a side of her that I never expected. She was naughty in bed and funny whenever I felt down or needed cheering up. She was also very respectful, kind, and mindful.I laughed softly and then wrapped my arm around her shoulders, pulling her into my embrace.We were standing all alone in the living room.After that talk, Dad and Mom asked Mariana to follow them so she could meet her late brother's mate, while the twins decided to get rid of the body.Uncle Alec went on to invite Alpha Ian and his family to join him in the dining hall, while we decided to remain behind for a bit and talk."I'm just very happy that everyone is safe," I said honestly."Me too," she answer
Tanya's POV "Is it usually like this?" I asked August seriously."What do you mean?" he asked back with a chuckle."You know, like some stranger coming into this territory and threatening them all," I answered as he shrugged."Well, what can I say? Our kind are so full of dominance that they tend to have fun ambushing weaker packs sometimes," he said, then looked at my father, who was quietly standing opposite us."Is everything okay with him?" he mind-linked me."I think he is a bit shaken by what happened," I answered through the mind-link and then moved closer to him."Dad, are you okay?" I asked seriously."Yeah, it's just that when I heard that heartwarming talk in the living room, I came to realize how terrible holding secrets is," he answered as I smiled."That's why I have none," I replied softly."Can I talk to you for a second, as in alone?" he asked.I frowned and then quickly shook my head."No, whatever you have to say, you can say it in front of my man," I answered seri
Mariana's POVI stood still, tears running down my face and a beating heart in my hand."I'm sorry," my wolf whispered, then pulled back as I slowly looked down at my brother's dead body.I dropped the heart with a trembling hand and screamed as I fell to my knees in a panic, moving my hand to cover the hole in his chest."No, Diaz, no," I cried as I moved my other bloody hand to his face."You can't die, please, you can't die! Why, oh goddess, why?" I sobbed."Wake up and look at me! Please, look at me! I swear I will never get angry again," I cried at the top of my voice.I was very upset over his words, and for a second, I wished him dead. But how was I to know that my wolf would act upon this wish of mine, as cruel as it was?Every time I wished for something within her reach and power, she did exactly that. Then I felt so happy because she protected me, even when it was against my will!But how could she hurt our only brother like he was nothing? "Mariana," Amelia called as she
Diaz's POV"What exactly do you want to hear from me?" I asked lazily."Everything," Amelia answered strongly.I rolled my eyes and then looked at Ian coldly."There is no need to mind-link each other, so I'll be frank, Amelia," I said seriously."Please," she whispered."Your mate is a thorn in my side," I said.Twin Delta warriors were about to move when Ian raised his hand, and they stopped in their tracks."I'm glad because you will soon bleed from my fists," he answered with a smirk."Ian, I would like to give you that satisfaction, but I won't, because I am not here to seriously fight," I said honestly."And yes, most of you in this room are a nuisance, and most of you are a pest to us. But then there are those like her," I pointed at the ancient witch and then moved my hand to the female dragon."Who we consider useful and very powerful," I said, then sat down."I can see you hate me," I pointed out the obvious."You think? They want you dead," Amelia answered."Fair enough, bu
