The night was long. Maxmillian had retired to bed with Amelia, but he found it hard to sleep. He cuddled Amelia sweetly, wrapping her around his arm, so she could feel warm. "Why haven't you slept?" Amelia quietly."I can't sleep" Maxmillian replied."Why is that? What is troubling you?" Amelia questioned again, turning to face Maxmillian."I just feel weird about all of these things going on. I can't even take care of my son properly because it's not safe. Every day, I go to see him, watching him from afar. But he dont see me. I wish I could have two of you in here without worrying about anything," Maxmillian said."I am sorry about everything I said earlier this evening. I know you are trying to protect us....""But I am not doing a good job," Maxmillian cuts in. "I would die if anything happen to you, Amelia. Yes, you know I love you, but you have no idea how much I love you. I can't lose you, I want us to grow old together for a very long time." Maxmillian said."Then let me fig
Aleah went upstairs to check on Amelia, who had been wide awake hearing everything Aleah told her husband.Aleah knocked on the bedroom door of Maxmillian's room, thinking Amelia wasn't awake."You can come in" Amelia said."Hey... Amelia? How are you doing?" Aleah asked."I'm feeling better." She said, sitting up on the bed."Maxmillian told me everything that happened between you and Alexander yesterday. Are you sure you are alright? Did Alexander say anything to you? Anything weird, did he hurt you?" Aleah asked curiously. "No, he didn't," Amelia replied."Did you get to see this werewolf in question?" Aleah questioned her. "I can find her.""It was fully shifted, Aleah, I couldn't see the face. It was really dark." Amelia answered. "I wish I had been there. It wouldn't have seen the light of the day" Aleah grudged.Amelia kept staring Aleah. Feeling excited inside of her. "I'm so glad you are back," Amelia said."Me too. But I won't be staying for long, I have got work to do,"
Alexander picked up his phone to call his mother, and to tell her about the latest update. "What did you say?" Grace asked, sounding so shocked. "A book about shape-shifters? I have never heard of it." She said."Me neither. I never thought there would be such a book," Alexander replied."You need to get your hands on that book, and you need to do it fast Alex. If that book truly exists, then all of us are doomed." Grace suggested. "How did they come across that book in the first place? If Maxmillian had such a book, we would have known. Don't you think?" Grace said."I was told that Maxmillian's sister came around," Alexander added."Who?" Grace questioned curiously."Her name is Aleah.""Aleah? I have never heard of such name before," Grace said."Well, according to my source, he said she happens to be Maxmillian's elder sister. I think she was the one who killed Isla. She might be a dangerous mom," Alexander said."This is getting serious. Do you want me to come over? I can send m
After Aleah had instructed Maxmillian, she left. A few hours later, Maxmillian took the bane and went to meet Alexander.Alexander was restless, panicking in his room. Melissa was there with him, cuddling and patting his back, trying to make him calm down, and put him to rest. They had just finished making out. "Can you please leave?" Alexander said to Melissa."No." Melissa replied confidently, walking back to sit on the bed. " I am going nowhere." She replied, crossing her legs and relaxing comfortably. Maxmillian stared at her angrily."I heard your mother is sending you more guards tonight. I am certain she will send a lot of she-wolfs too," Melissa said."And so?" Alexander asked, turning back to Melissa.Melissa stood up from the bed, she walked seductively to where Alexander stood, loosened his robes and began touching his body. "I won't let anyone of them come close to you Alexander." She whispered softly in Alexander's ear.Alexander shoved her hands off him and tied his ro
That same night, immediately Maxmillian left, Alexander threw a thunderous rage. He had never felt so insecure before. The anger he let out was furious, that no one, not even Melissa, who was still with him, was able to control him.Out of fear, Melissa ran out of Alexander's room, but became even more scared as she saw dead soldiers everywhere outside the room.Alexander picked up his phone and called Grace. He narrated everything that happened to her. Grace became more angry."How could you let this happen?" Grace yelled through the phone."I'm sorry mum. I never for once thought that Maxmillian knight would have the guts to do this. He is an Alpha, why would he kill his own kind?" Alexander cried out."He's kind that are not in support of him, he will definitely kill those who are against him." Grace responded. "This is not good son, I am really disappointed in you? How do you expect us to start all over again? You know how many years it cost us to build and train those shape-shift
Ever since Maxmillian left Alexander's house he has not had rest or peace of mind. He feels he had just started a war with his son. The next morning, Maxmillian refused to go to work. Given the excuse of trying to finish the book, Aleah had asked him to study. He was on the bed, still in his robe with the book of Shape-shifters in his hands. "And that is supposed to be an excuse?" Amelia asked, staring at him as she slowly prepared for work."Don't you think you should stay at home for some time? We have managers, they can handle our company. I had just declared war with Alexander. It is not going to sit well for him. They may be up to something mischievous as we speak." Maxmillian concluded."I am not spending one more day in this house with you, without going to work. I don't want to believe you are scared of your son," Amelia said."I am not." Maxmillian replied, "as you can see, I am still trying to control my wolf...""From one excuse to another, from declaring war to starting
As soon as Jeremy left Maxmillian's room, he knew going back to Alexander was a death sentence, but then again, he had no choice. As soon as he got to Alexander's house, he began shivering, so much so that even Alexander could sense the uneasiness coming from him."Where is the book I asked you to get for me?" Alexander asked. His voice was cold, echoing through the living room, sending more shivers down Jeremy's spine. "I'm sorry, sir. Please forgive me," Jeremy fell to his knees, sobbing for mercy. "I was able to lay my hands on the book, but Mr. Maxmillian scared me away. He claimed to be the Alpha...""I am your Alpha!!!" Alexander roared loudly. "What a waste," he said. "I made you a shape-shifter, just like me. You should be able to fight back. You were to fight him for that book, even if it were to be your last breath, and you went and chickened out? How embarrassing. Do you realize that whatever is in the book can end all our lives, including yours, in the space of seconds? I
At approximately 7:30 p.m. that evening, Maximilian Knight and Amelia were on a dinner date at one of the most expensive restaurants in the city. They booked a VIP room to enjoy some quiet time alone, as it had been a while."Do you like it here?" Maximilian asked softly."Yeah, it's a new restaurant, isn't it?" Amelia replied, unable to meet Maximilian's gaze due to her shyness.The expression on Maximilian's face radiated joy as he admired Amelia's beauty and continuously complimented her."You are so beautiful," Maximilian said."Thank you," Amelia replied uncomfortably.Their date was going well as the couple reminisced and laughed about old times, sharing stories of how they fell in love with each other.Suddenly, Maximilian's phone rang. It was an unknown number. He picked up the call. "Hello, who is this?""Your son has been kidnapped, sir," Jeremy cried out from the other end of the phone."What?" Maximilian jumped out of his chair, looking furious."What is it?" Amelia asked,
Maxmillian knight had taken Amelia and Jason to the pack, where he was certain that they will be safe and protected. On getting there he asked the shape- shifting soldiers if anyone have seen, or heard from Aleah, or any idea which road she took, but their response seemed negative."I'm coming with you" Amelia told him."You are not." Maxmillian replied, not ready to listen to her."You don't understand. I have to__""I am your Alpha and you will do as I say Amelia!!!." Maxmillian yelled. His voice echoing around the Walls of the hidden pack. He looked at everyone and watched as they all stared at him In fright. "This is not a topic up for discussion Amelia. You can't come with me""Keep being delusional. You think I'm going to let you put my baby at risk this time again? You couldn't even handle Grace and Alexander. Alpha my foot." Grace insulted. Walking out on Maxmillian. "You can keep sleeping around, making love with everything you see for all I care. But one thing I Know for cer
Amelia was forcefully dragged into the room by one of Alexander's guards, her arms held tightly. The moment she saw Maxmillian chained, a wave of panic swept over her. She desperately wanted to run to him but was held back by the sight of what had weakened him."What have you done to him?" she cried out. "Release him this instant!" she demanded."On whose orders?" Grace interjected, her tone mocking."Mine," Amelia replied confidently. "Where is my son? Where is my baby?""You might never see them again if you don’t cooperate," Alexander interrupted coldly."You!" Amelia spat, fury and hatred burning in her eyes. "I curse the day I met you. I wish Maxmillian had killed you the moment you set foot in our home.""You mean my home?" Alexander sneered."Your home? Keep dreaming. You’ll never—""Never what?" Alexander interrupted again, his smirk widening. "If you're thinking of that moment... yes, we already had our time together while you were still our hostage.""What? That's not true,"
Gerald had Gone so far that it was hard for anyone to trace him and the baby. Aleah had no option than to seek help from some of the tamed soldiers in the pack. They scavenged through every nook and cranny of the forest but they couldn't find Gerald. "Where would he have gone to?" Aleah asked rhetorically, as she watched her men still search profusely, following the wolf scent that led them to no destination. "You all can go back to the pack, I will take it from here" Aleah commanded.Her soldiers felt ignorant. They wanted to help catch Gerald badly. They hated the fact that he even existed at all. after hearing a lot of terrible things about him. "This is not your fight." Aleah told them. "All of you combined can't defeat Gerald__""Are you underestimating us?" Derrick asked."Of course not." Aleah replied, feeling guilty. She knew in her heart that they would all be dead at one slight glance from Gerald. "Gerald is not someone to be joked with. You can go back to the pack and a
A few minutes after Maxmillian’s connection with Jason faded, Amelia gave birth to a baby girl. Maxmillian could feel the child's presence, sensing her arrival into the world."I have a niece now," Aleah said to Maxmillian, who was still deep in meditation. He let out a faint, tender smile."You can feel that too?" Maxmillian asked."Of course, everyone can feel it. Everyone knows another shape-shifter has been born," Aleah added, crouching to face him. "Her mere presence strikes fear into the hearts of evil. You must protect her at all costs. If not, you will lose everything.""She’s protected. She’s in a place no one can reach, where no one can harm her," Maxmillian replied confidently."Let’s hope so," Aleah responded.Unspeakable joy filled Maxmillian’s heart. He tried to contain his excitement, but it was still evident. Their hunt for Gerald continued, but they had no idea that they were already too late. A message came from Aleah’s hideout—Derrick had left the pack to deliver so
Amelia and Jeremy were still trapped in the strange world where Maxmillian Knight had left them. Although Amelia was with her son, Jason, she seemed unhappy being apart from her husband. It had been a month since Maxmillian abandoned her in the house with the midwife, who, according to Maxmillian, was responsible for her well-being.Jeremy did everything he could to stay on Maxmillian's good side and gain his trust. He protected Amelia as best as he could, even though he knew he lacked the true spirit of an Alpha."Mummy, when is Daddy coming to take us back home?" Jason asked innocently."Very soon, Jason," Amelia replied, groaning in pain.Heavily pregnant and nearing her due date, she walked slowly across the room, pacing from one side to the other with one hand on her lower back."This isn’t my first delivery; why is the pain so much?" Amelia asked, looking uncomfortable."The child is ready to come out. I think you're about to go into labor," the midwife replied coldly, preparing
The moment Alexander woke up, he found himself locked in a room, alongside his mother. Both of them felt weak and helpless. Alexander groaned in pain from the kick Aleah had landed on his face, which had knocked him out.“Where is this place?” Alexander asked Grace weakly.“I have no idea, son. But I think Maxmillian and Aleah brought us here,” Grace replied.She got up and tried to move, but realized there were heavy chains on her legs. “Alex?” Grace called out for help. But when Alexander stood up, he found himself chained as well.“What is this? How dare she chain us like dogs!” Alexander exclaimed, struggling to free himself.“What’s happening to you? Why are you so weak all of a sudden, Alex?” Grace asked.“I have no idea,” Alexander replied. He looked around the empty room. There were no windows, no other doors, and nothing else. The room had only a red bulb that shone dimly. Alexander continued struggling against the chains, but it was no use.“Don’t fight it,” Aleah said, barg
After pouring out thier anger to Maxmillian knight their Alpha. He knew deep down that it was time to let them go relieve themselves off the vengeance they felt."I'll lead the way" Maxmillian knight said.Aleah picked few of the older Shape-shifters who was strong and had witnessed the war between Hannah and her father. who also knew the ability Gerald possess."I want to come along too." A young shape -shifter said."You'd die in seconds" another one replied mockingly, causing stir laughter amongst themselves.Maxmillian bent down to the young one, smiled towards him, rubbing his fluffy bulgy hair. "You will get your chance one day to fight for your people. I can see how brave you are. How strong and willing you are ready to fight. But it's not today. Take care of the pack, and the people in it. I'm counting on you alright""Really?" The little boy said with his calm innocent voice."I'll be right back. Don't let me down" Maxmillian knight added."We have to leave now guys." Aleah c
Immediately after Maxmillian Knight shut the mini door, he rushed back to his sister, Aleah, who was fighting off some of the soldiers that had broken into their home."How many are there?" Maxmillian asked, his voice filled with fear that more might be coming."I don't know. So far, the guards at the gate have been able to keep them out," Aleah replied. "What about Amelia? Is she gone?""Yes, I hope she's far away by now," Maxmillian said. "What can I do to help? Should we leave?""Leave? Why would we leave? These people are here because of Amelia. If they don't find her, they'll go back," Aleah explained."And the book?" Maxmillian asked suddenly."Oh! That's right. Get the book; we need to leave here immediately," Aleah ordered."Where can we go without them following us?" Maxmillian questioned."I think we should go straight to Alexander," Aleah suggested."Are you crazy? Gerald is there—""You are stronger than Gerald; you just don't realize it. You are their Alpha. They need to
Amelia, together with Jeremy had settled in completely, they were now comfortable. Sitting at the dinning room, while Amelia told them everything she heard at Alexander's house. Meanwhile, Aleah kept staring at Jeremy. Looking unsure and feeling uncomfortable with his presence."I just can't trust him" Aleah said bluntly. "Common, if he had wanted to hurt me, he would have done it on our way here." Amelia added. "What if it was a plan between him and Alexander to come here? Have you considered the fact that he might even be a spy, and we are habouring him whole heartedly." "I have seen him before." Maxmillian said calmly, he looked straight at Jeremy, who eyes widened and became frightened. Scared that Maxmillian will remember "you were the one who Alexander sent to still the book.""Aha!!!... I knew it. He is a spy" Aleah bloated out. "Is that true?" Amelia asked Jeremy, shocked at what she just had. She didn't want to believe that she had brought an enemy into their house. "I'm
