Amelia’s eyes widened in horror and everything around her stilled. Her heart refused to believe that the blood soaked man in front of her was the neat and clean successor of the huge Williams’ Empire!
She felt as if she was in a trance. Her sudden arrival took everyone by surprise. Even the wolves stopped and stared at her for a while. Amelia couldn’t make heads or tails of the situation.Was it really Kieth? Why were wolves attacking him? These were rogues, Amelia could tell at a glance. But how could rogues cross the barrier of the human city? The passage could only be operated by the guards of the Wolf Association! What the hell was going on?Amelia felt bewildered and lost until a bubbling sensation of mirth sprouted in her heart. She knew it wasn't her own emotions. She looked straight at the man lying on the ground.Kieth was staring at her and he was feeling happy? Before Amelia could understand anything, the rogues sprang back into actionKieth was in denial. He almost believed that it was all his dream, but the pain in his body was jabbing him awake. He kept looking at the huge white wolf attacking and suppressing the other wolves. His bleeding hand gripped the taser more tightly. What the hell was happening? The growls, whimpers, howls, and sharp noises filled his entirety. His estate was in a more secluded place. He had no neighbours and all the staff was slowly thrown out of the mansion a long time ago. He was living here alone. He wanted to call out for help, but his phone was broken in the tussle. He saw the bewitching fight between the white wolf and the other wolves. The white wolf definitely had the upper hand, but her actions were becoming slower and slower. From dominating the fight to barely managing, Kieth saw it all. He was still in denial. The wolf that fought viciously definitely wasn’t his soft and coquettish Amelia. All this was a bizarre dream.“Run, I can’t h
Something shattered inside Kieth. Something broke free completely. Before he could understand anything, the darkness consumed his sight and he lost consciousness.When Kieth woke up again, he found himself lying naked on the ground. Even stirring a little made him wince in pain. There was hardly any place on his body that didn’t hurt.With difficulty, he turned around. Next to him was an equally naked Amelia. His pupils dilated with shock and despite the pain, he instinctively raised his fingers to check her breathing.Though shallow, she was still breathing. Tracing the slightly heaving chest made him a little relieved. He looked around and found the motionless bodies of countless wolves.Wolves? Something whipped past Kieth’s memory and the image of a pristine, white, humongous wolf jumped, taking the core. A faint headache bubbled inside his head.Kieth furrowed his eyebrows and found a tattered shirt to cover her. As soon as the cloth clung to
A/N: Bonus chapter! Unlocked by Kavya Singh! Thank you for the review! Keep reading and supporting!……Kieth closed his eyes and for the first time in his life, he begged the deities. He did not pray. He was literally begging the deities to look after Amelia. Whether she was a human, a wolf, or an extra-terrestrial creature, Kieth did not care.All he wanted was to see his Amelia as happy and vibrant as she was in his memories. He never spoke a word for the cub. Only Amelia.Minutes passed like hours and a death like silence enveloped the entire scene. Faint drops of sweat clung to Kieth’s forehead and his breathing became shallow.Despite the inconvenience and pain, Kieth kept his eyes focused on the closed door. He barely blinked. His bloodshot eyes made him look like a trapped beast. His helplessness, agitation, and sincerity condensed into his eyes.Never in his wildest dreams had he thought of having a reunion with Amelia und
Steven took the entire party to the Silver Crescent Pack. Fortunately, they had advanced healing centers, so even the cub was relocated to the pack.The gatekeepers questioned Steven and Liam about Amelia’s situation, but both of them were as blank as anyone else. They didn’t know why Amelia ran off to the human settlement in the dead of the night.Zion was of little help. He only shared that Amelia was whimpering in sleep. She most probably had a nightmare, that is why he left to call for help, but when he came back, Amelia was long gone.Gatekeepers did their work and then left to investigate further. The healers handed over their jobs to the healers of the Silver Crescent Pack. The old female healer looked at the Silver Crescent pack with admiration and found a few capable healers.She ultimately decided to settle down in the Silver Crescent pack once her tenure in the human world ended.The cub was in an incubator. Amelia and Keith
The waxy cat like cry pulled the strings of anybody. As if a switch got turned on, the entire ground erupted in smiles and cheers. Who would have thought that the first to wake up wasn't the powerful female Alpha but the youngest and debatably the weakest member of this family?The healer next to the cub checked the vitals and the readings. It wasn’t an illusion! The cub was really crying! The healer hurriedly took the incubator back to the confines of a room to carry out more readings.Steven, unlike others, remained still, as if he was still under a shock! He not only heard the cub crying, but he was a firsthand witness of how the small cub tried to stretch its twig like limbs! Steven forgot to blink and kept staring at the cub.His trance was only broken when the healer took the cub away. He shifted his focus to Amelia. She was as still as a corpse, without any movement. The beeping sound coming from the monitor kept reassuring Steven that Amelia was still al
Steven ran past Emma and entered another room. The healer lay dead in a pool of blood and the bed was cold and empty.No shadow of Kieth could be found in the room. Emma was right. The rogues really took away Kieth.Steven didn’t even know how to react. He made sure that Amelia and the cub were well protected but forgot about Kieth. But he shouldn’t be blamed. Why would anybody want to take a weak, harmless human away?Steven, though confused, knew what to do next. He quickly dispatched a team to trace the trail of the missing human. And then he went to interrogate the captured rogues.Liam followed behind quietly. He too, wanted to know why anybody would want a human.Meanwhile, Zion and Emma stayed near Amelia and the cub. Zion looked at the cub while Emma looked at the fading red string of fate around Amelia’s finger. That only meant one thing. Kieth was no longer in their proximity.She pursed her lips in annoyance. Something
“What?” Steven felt bewildered. A moment ago, he thought that Emma’s words had no weight, but now, he was not so sure.The powerful existence could be inside Kieth? Steven furrowed his brows and touched his chin in contemplation. If that was true, then it could explain why the rogues attacked him in the human realm.That would also explain why the Scarlett Witch or the rogues would leave Amelia behind and take Kieth away. But this theory still had some loopholes.Why was such a powerful existence trapped inside a human being? What was that powerful existence? A wolf? A wizard or witch? Or something entirely different?“That existence could be the blessed black wolf I saw in my vision. The key to breaking the witch’s curse.” Emma slowly revealed her conjectures.“What?” Steven trembled momentarily, and his eyes widened with shock. What in the name of Moon Goddess was going on? The blessed black wolf they were looking for, was actually a human?
Questions came to him like waves, overwhelming his breath, submerging him fully.He was surrounded by unanswered questions and plenty of urgent matters. Amelia and the cub were his utmost priority. Then came Kieth and the mess of the blessed wolf and powerful existence. And at last, was the Scarlett Witch and a bleak possibility of Alpha Drefan.Thinking of the long forgotten name, Steven’s pupils trembled violently. It was this man and his ruthless, unconventional thirst for power that wreaked havoc in their lives.Along with the Drug Queen, Scarlett Witch, as his mate, both of them walked down the unthinkable and unpardonable path, which ultimately led to their downfall in the hands of the Moon Goddess. But the harm they did, still stayed in the hearts of the victims like an ever open and ever bleeding wound. Steven tried hard to shake off the nightmarish thoughts and shifted his focus to the current reality.The current attack
Before Amelia could register anything, Kieth broke free from her grip and bent down in pain. Guttural groans croaked out of his throat. He bit his lips hard to stop the scream threatening to break free.Sweat covered his forehead. Sickly pallor colored his face and all the blood rushed to his eyes, making them blood red. His legs buckled and his hands trembled.Amelia saw it with panic, pain, and anxiety. She too, followed his footsteps and kneeled, reholding his hands in a tighter grip. The moment she touched his hands, the unbearable pain assaulted her senses.It was Kieth’s pain. Thanks to Mate Mark, she could share his pain. Everything was happening very fast. She did not have time to think. It was her instinctive reaction.Moments before, she was dissatisfied with the forced Mate Mark, but now, she thanked her stars! She quickly held him tightly and shared his agony. Kieth’s legs trembled and he kneeled on the ground, making it easier for
Under the moonless night, the silence and darkness covered them from head to toe. Amelia waited and waited but received no response from the other side.It wasn’t exactly easy for her either. She wasn’t one to drag things. She wanted a clean cut instead of this mess of a relationship.“Amelia, did you get me wrong? Do you think you can leave me twice, and I will watch it happen?” Kieth’s slow and rough voice hit Amelia unhurriedly.Her eyes started twitching. She could feel that something was wrong. Kieth had begun leaking his Alpha pressure. Was it intentional or not she didn’t know.Kieth started taking leisurely steps toward her. His eyes never left her, even for a second. She unwittingly took a step back, wanting to create some distance between them. But much to her disappointment, the Alpha pressure increased and made her halt.She looked at Kieth in alarm and surprise. This Alpha pressure…it was like a rope around her waist, with its ot
‘On a vacation. Don’t bother me. Switch to Plan B.’ Under it was his powerful and flawless signature. Steven pursed his lips as he took the paper. He didn’t know who leaked this information! Even Amelia didn’t know that he planned to look into Kieth’s background once again!There were three main points worth investigating. First, how did Kieth end up in the human realm? Second, what exactly was the training Kieth had to undergo in order to become the heir of the Williams’ Empire and third, what happened to his engagement?“What’s Plan B?” Steven couldn’t hide his curiosity.“Details on how to run the company and who will manage what if I am not there.” Kieth lowered his eyes and focused on the Art of Duel.“But why would you prepare something like that in advance?” Steven put the paper inside an envelope as he asked.“My doctor once told me that I couldn’t live past this month. So, Plan B was a contingency plan.” Kieth turned th
What? Was that even possible? Steven did not know how to react! All his admiration and hope had turned to shock!He had seen people struggling to change into a wolf, but he had never seen a wolf struggling to change into a human! This was unforeseen!‘Um, Amelia, we have a minor situation here.’ Steven haphazardly mind linked Amelia.Damn! As Amelia heard his distress call, she felt annoyed. She still has not figured out what to do with Kieth.She walked to the training grounds and saw a black wolf and a surprised Steven at a glance.“He cannot change back!” Steven pointed to the black wolf and could not mask his astonishment.Amelia stopped in her tracks and mechanically looked at the black wolf, who stood there at a loss. She could not hide her smile at the situation.Unlike the stoic and expressionless Kieth, this black wolf was more vivid. She could see the annoyance, irritation, frustration, an
Amelia’s smile disappeared while Kieth became shocked at his sudden words.“We can’t.”“Forget it.”Both Amelia and Keith spoke at the same time, making them stunned again.Meanwhile, the cub yawned and released a satisfied purr, successfully disturbing the awkward silence between his parents.Amelia quickly took the cub from his arms and busied herself in putting him in the cradle.Kieth felt aggrieved. He knew what he spoke was just in the spur of a moment. He also knew that it was the most unromantic confession, but that didn’t mean that Amelia’s sudden denial didn’t hurt him!‘Why?’ Unable to take his mind off the straight rejection, Kieth asked Amelia through the mind link.The sudden voice in her head made Amelia stop for a second and then she resumed covering the cub with the blanket.‘Because I am an Alpha, the rituals are complicated. Also, one can only get married on a full moon night. It’s almost a fortnight a
Shit! He knew everything! No wonder he was so calm! Because he had already understood the situation from listening to the thoughts of everyone.Thinking back at their collective mind link and unbridled words, Amelia felt dazed.No wonder he claimed that he had his own way of knowing the truth! Damn!“Still acting dumb? Don’t have anything to share?” Kieth tried his best to remain calm, but his eyes had already betrayed him.Alarm bells started going off in Amelia’s head. Her survival instinct kicked in.“No. I don’t have anything to tell!” Amelia hurriedly spoke.An icy layer coated Kieth’s eyes. Amelia could feel the Alpha pressure leaking from him. Before he could burst or snap, she quickly held his hand and smiled brightly.Taken aback, Kieth froze for a moment. Her bright smile was blinding. How long had it been since he saw her genuine smile?She expertly grabbed his attention and when he looked dazed, Amelia took th
“4 went out with the stepbrother and we killed the rest,” Kieth added calmly.“Wait, were they supposed to come back? I mean your stepbrother and the other 4 mercenaries?” Steven asked hurriedly.“I do not know. The mercenaries barely talked and the stepbrother was always busy.” Keith thought deeply and responded.“Busy with what?” Amelia narrowed her eyes and asked.“I do not know, I was usually very sleepy back then.” Kieth shrugged his shoulders.“What exactly did they do to you?” Amelia didn’t notice the anxiety and panic painting her voice.“Nothing much, he just took my blood. As for what purpose, he never revealed.” Kieth waved his hands and said casually.Amelia and Steven stiffened. Damn! Was the Murphy’s Law at work? Why did everything they feared start becoming a reality?“Why don't you trust your stepbrother?” Liam, who had been quietly observing everything, asked abruptly.“Who said I do not trust him?” Kiet
“And what do you think?” Amelia boldly faced him.She was not panicking. She had killed plenty of people, directly and indirectly. But she was sure of one thing. Whoever she had killed, surely deserved it.So, Kieth telling her that she might have killed his father only cemented the fact that his father was a bad person. She was more interested in knowing what Kieth thought. Would he blame her? Would he avenge his father?Kieth remained quiet. Calmly taking in her expressions. She had no guilt, panic, surprise, or shock in her eyes.Unlike both of them, the others were not so calm.‘What did he just say? We killed his father? Who in the world was his father?’ Steven spat in the collective mind link.‘He said he met his stepbrother. Shouldn’t that be our lead?’ Theo’s mind was turning fast. Having a stepbrother can make things easier. Why don’t they simply catch and grab this unnamed stepbrother and ask him strai
The temperature rose suddenly. Slick sweat coated their bodies. Amelia knew this was not the time, yet she could not pull herself away from his embrace.Passion glazed their eyes and movements. He was too hard, and she was too wet. Things moved in a certain direction. Both of them had no shred of restraint or intention of stopping.“Alpha Amelia, the cub needs to be fed.”A sudden voice broke in like a ray of clarity. Somebody mind linked Amelia, interrupting their rendevous. As if a pause button clicked, Amelia became still.Kieth soon became aware of the changes and looked at her with dazzled and confused eyes. Amelia looked at the mess of a situation, and only one word roamed in her mind: Damn!She patted his chain like hand and he loosened his grip. Streaks of rationality started coloring her vision. She involuntarily pressed her breasts and noticed the fullness. She was about to leak!She hurrie
