“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
“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
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
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
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
‘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
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
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
“I have had enough. I will say it one last time, you are forbidden to leave me. You are mine, Amelia, and nothing can change that!” A roaring voice boomed in the room, making the windows vibrate with the pressure.“Mr. Kieth Williams, then why don’t you break off your engagement? You promise, and I will stay. You don’t, and I leave. I believe my words are clear enough!” In contrast to the raging voice of the man, her calm voice gently filled every corner of the room.“Do you think you are in a position to negotiate with me?” He smirked while speaking. Kieth Williams did not like to be questioned, threatened, or be at the losing end. But this woman managed to push all three buttons at the same time.“I am leaving Kieth. You had your chance, but you ruined it. Don’t blame me.” Amelia dejectedly said. She was sad. Sad at the fact that this man did not put her in his eyes. Sad at the conclusion that she had fallen to such a level where she let him trample on her dignity. But enough was en

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
