I hope everyone had a great weekend! Things are heating up fast!!!
Amelia’s POV“Ames, are you ready to go? The car is here!” Olivia squeals with excitement. I roll my eyes and expect her to come bouncing in here with excitement, and as if right on cue she makes a grand entrance with a twirl. Her straight, chocolate hair was flowing with movement until she stops and pins me with a smile that makes guys swoon and her green eyes lit with excitement. “Liv, only you can have that kind of energy at 7 AM. How many cups of coffee are you on now? 4?” I snort at my remark but it’s sadly not a joke. That girl can take down coffee like she is drinking water. I often joke that she must get an IV bag of coffee everyday to remain this energized.“Ha-ha. Very funny. I’ve only had 2 cups so far and the 3rd cup is waiting with my bags downstairs.” She walks towards my bed and she decides to sit on my bag to help me zip it closed. “Are you sure you packed everything you need?” I nod my response, even though majority of my clothes have already been moved to my old hou
Noah’s POV After all this time it is finally happening. My dad has decided I am old enough to take over the Alpha title. Years and years of training has brought me to my greatest goal and it’s right there. My parents are proud of how well I have done since completing Alpha training 2 years ago. I have taken over training warriors with my soon to be Gamma, Blake, as well as completing business trips to different packs with my dad. He has shown me the ins and outs of being a good Alpha, and I can only hope that I can be as accomplished as him when I am his age. Silver Cliff is considered to be the largest pack East of the Mississippi River. I plan to keep it that way and make sure no one crosses us, but still maintain the respect from my pack. The only thing left to do before The Ceremony is to celebrate with my friends. That’s why we have been up at the lake getting ready for everyone to arrive. My best friends Milo, Blake, and Owen have been helping me get everything squared awa
Amelia’s POVThe ride took over 6 hours, and with a few stops to stretch and to use the bathroom we were able to make it just before 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Thank the Goddess! If I had to listen to Olivia’s playlist for one more minute I swear I would shift and jump out the window. I am pretty sure the driver was right there with me because one of the stops he came back with headphones of his own. We pulled up to a huge log cabin about 50 yards from a lake and took in the gorgeous 2 story home that spread out. You can easily compare this to the Pack House that is at the center of the Pack Lands over 2 hours from here. Even being part of the Beta family, I have never been here before. This is easily the furthest West I have ever been and hopefully I can fix that in the next few weeks. I just can’t help but admire the beauty of the lake. I could get used to this. Maybe I can find a place like this to live at overtime. I can imagine reading Jane Eyre on the wrap around porch and
Noah’s POVOwen nudges me as he talks about the last few times we were up here. “Noah remember last summer when we used to come out for the weekends and bring different girls with us each time.” All of us except Milo, I want to add. He continues with his thought. “Man those were crazy times. I remember when you took that one chick you were dating, Ember-“ All of sudden my wolf picked up on movement to my right and a familiar scent hint hit my nose before someone small jumps on me.“Liv! I can’t believe it’s you!” I hug her and pick up a scent off of her shirt but before I can indulge in it she backs away and hits Owen on the shoulder. “Hey Owen! That’s such a great story! I’ll make sure to tell mom and dad the next time I see them.” Olivia busts his balls and all Owen can do is open his mouth like a fish while he tries to think of a way to backpedal while everyone else laughs. This was exactly what I wanted before I take the title. A week away with good friends and - in an instant t
Amelia’s POV It took everything in me not to look back at him. I need to keep my head on straight and focus on my goal which is to NOW reject him and piss him off so much that he will reject me from his pack. I semi-listen as Olivia introduces me to everyone in the group. But my mind is still reeling from what just happened. I don’t think Noah knows what he will get with having me as a mate. He deserves someone with less drama and someone who is not already broken. I don’t need a mate anyways. I saw what happens with a mate bond first hand and it’s beautiful. Seeing the love my parents had for each other as well as me, it was perfect. Then the accident happened and I was the one who was left all alone. I was a shadow and barely making it through the day, even today I still feel like a shell of my old self. I never want to feel that way again, so I promised myself that day that I would not take a mate. I wouldn’t be able to survive a heartbreak that big again if something happened.
Noah’s POVKnowing that I get to share a floor with my mate has Hunter rolling around in excitement. Almost as excited as he was when I mentioned the after dark swim we would all do later. I couldn’t wait to see the curves of my mate in her swimsuit. Shoot, she could be wearing a paper bag and I would still find my eyes glued to her. After the announcement I wanted to see if I could get a chance to talk to her but Olivia had to give me her two cents. “What the fuck- do you think you are doing? You know I stay on the top floor.” She yells at me as she punches my shoulder. For someone who is so small, she packs a lot in her punch. “Damn, Liv. It hasn’t even been an hour and you are already trying to beat me up.” I tease her. “ What did I do to piss my little sis off.” For someone who comes off as sweet she has a temper that boils fast. Rolling her eyes she continues. “I’ve always had a room up there and now that you are becoming Alpha you are going to use it to get laid!” Olivia
Amelia’s POV First crisis has been averted by switching rooms with Milo and Naomi. The next crisis is figuring out what to wear to the lake. After I get settled in the guest house and I start putting my clothes away, I notice that I don’t have a swim suit. Not that I normally pack one. I avoid the water like the plague. I just don’t want to be the odd one not wearing a suit tonight. I could ask Naomi who has a chest similar to mine but I feel like that would be awkward after the whole ‘Luna and Beta Female’ chat. I realize that the only option I have is to ask Olivia. We are no where close to the same size. She has the boobs you can go bra-less with and mine could never go with out. The bottoms should be close enough since we both have big butts but knowing her she will have the bikinis to show off the most skin. As I walk into the main cabin I am able to find my best friend and I was quickly shown 2 bikinis. The black one that barely covered anything. I didn’t think there wo
Noah’s POV It’s one thing to see Blake flirt with Amelia, but to see Ryder put his fingers in her hair has me crushing the full can in my hand causing it to spray. “What the fuck man!” Milo says as it gets all over him. He wipes at his shorts but must realize I am too distracted to respond because his eyes follow my gaze and he sees Ryder flirting with Amelia.“Oh shit. Do you think Ryder knows?” He whispers to me. I shake my head. There is no way he could know that Amelia is my mate. Ryder has always been that one person who would love to take away something that is mine. He has always been that way even when we were kids. He would just see Amelia as the ultimate prize if he found out she is my mate. Goddess knows what he would do to her to keep her away from me. “I can’t let him know that she is my mate but it’s taking everything in me to not go over there and break his nose.” I growl out lowly. Ember came strutting over in her string bikini if that’s what you want to call it. I
