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
A deafening silence enveloped Kieth. It took him a few seconds to regain his composure.“Report properly.” He spoke viciously.“Sorry, Sir. As per instructions, we went to deliver the ‘One Love’ to the house. But when we reached, everyone was asleep. We checked Ma’am’s room, and there was nobody in it.” The subordinate chronologically reported.“What about the surveillance?” Kieth’s voice was dripping with anger.“Sir, the footage is damaged.” The subordinate responded in a small voice.“Inform the police. I need her back. Either you find her, or you die. The choice is yours.” Kieth uttered and threw the office phone on the floor in agitation.Listening to the loud noise, his staff went still. Sweat covered their forehead. They simultaneously prayed that the demon would not call them. Appearing in front of him at such a time was equivalent to digging their own graves! Maybe God heard them because they found the demon leaving in a hurry. Only after his silhouette was out of sight did
A numbing pain crept up his heart as soon as he read the word ‘rejection.’ No, no, no…something inside him was howling loudly, forcing him to go and find her as soon as possible. He wanted to hold her tightly, but where was she? Agitation, irritation, panic, and urgency filled his core. He wanted her in his arms! Now! Reining his emotions, he walked out and gave the phone to his bodyguard.“I need a detailed list of the people she has been in contact with. Even the spam messages. Find the location and identity of the person who sent the last message.” Kieth instructed and left.As he started the car, he received a call.“Sir, ma’am’s tracker was deactivated in her apartment. She left your house, went to her apartment, removed the tracker, and left her phone there.” The man on the other side became silent for some time.“What about the brother?” Kieth asked knowingly.“She called the hospital in the morning and asked them to discharge him. A man came and took him away. We are still tr
Another beep sounded in the quiet room.“Sir, we have checked the details. The orphanage still stands, but the people we interacted with for the background check are nowhere to be found. The new people have vouched that there was never an orphan named either Steven or Amelia.” The man reported calmly.“What else?” Kieth knew that the subordinate had more to report.“The company, ma’am worked at. The company is still there, but her entire team has disappeared. The company does not have the details of any employee named Amelia.” The subordinate waited for an outburst, but nothing happened.“Say. What is it?” Kieth gritted his teeth in anger as he spoke.“Her past was fabricated intricately. There were no loopholes.” The man spoke slowly. He was a hacker, but even he could not find any physical or digital traces. “Find her, no matter what.” Kieth hoarsely said and cut the call.He looked around his room. There were no pictures, no hair, or anything that could prove her existence. It’s l
The cubs were reporting the scenario while every member of the pack listened with bated breath.“A white wolf took them off guarded. Zenia, the female Alpha.” A soft, chubby and cute looking cub muttered loudly.“She attacked the farthest wolf. She bit its neck. She is moving toward the next one. Everybody has encircled her. Her mouth is dripping with blood. One of the wolves has sent an emergency signal.” The cub reported the happenings in real time at the border.As soon as his voice fell, they heard the howling of the intruders. One after the other, every intruder howled. And then, the intruders in the west and north hurried their stance. “West and north, they are moving fast. Need assistance.” The cub calmly stated. Thanks to the instant real time information, the pack members knew that south and east were secured. The warrior teams went to provide assistance to the west and north teams. Together they ferociously attacked the intruders. The intruders were outnumbered and died pi
“Morning Amelia! You look good.” Steven greeted Amelia. Both of them were heading to the dining area to calm down their growling hunger.“Ah! Morning! Nothing works better than a blood bath, I guess?” She cheekily responded.When they appeared, the clansmen, stood up and bowed respectively. Though the leaders were young, none of the members dared to cross them. After all, they have seen with their own eyes how ruthless and ferocious they were.“Settle down.” Steven gestured while Amelia simply nodded. Neither of them got fazed with such respect because they knew they deserved it!They mounted hills of whatever was available to eat and sat down at the reserved center. Both of them were starving! They hadn’t eaten anything last night!While they were eating, another man joined them. He was tall, masculine, and handsome. His tired eyes and messy hair added a decadent beauty to his perfectly crafted features.Unlike the Alphas, who had iconic black iris and silver sclera, this man had ord
He was blatantly mocking her. Amanda felt humiliated, but she had to convince Keith!“I… I will never appear in front of you again. Just please, spare my Daddy. He didn’t do anything wrong.” Amanda pleaded till her voice became hoarse, but the stone like man did not bulge.“Didn’t do anything wrong? You are not only useless but also illiterate.” Kieth spat viciously, making Amanda shudder again.“Go away. Don’t dirty my eyes.” Kieth annoyingly furrowed his eyebrows. Plain disgust flashed in his eyes. But Amanda, instead of leaving, came down on her knees and started pleading urgently. “For the sake of your dead father, please, please don’t do this. He was a friend of my father! I beg of you, please…” Amanda threw the socialite image and ego out of the window and begged him relentlessly.But Kieth simply kicked her dirty hands away. Pure rage appeared in his eyes, making Amanda fall on her back. He looked at her as if she had committed a grave crime.“Security.” Kieth only said one w
Amelia had tried to call out Zenia, but the she wolf never responded. There were moments when she wanted to let her out to have a nice stroll, but even then, Zenia remained quiet.Amelia could only think of one thing: Zenia was heartbroken! It would be better to let her be.Amelia went to the dining area and wolfed down the food. Their clan had a common kitchen which was open to everyone and anybody. A lot of people had kitchens in their homes as well, but to them, cooking was too tedious. Also, the chefs of the common kitchen were awesome! And it served food any time of the day, be it midnight or early morning!Amelia filled our plate to the brim. She had a wolfish appetite, but as soon as she ate one piece, she felt like puking!Her eyes widened in alarm and she ran to the nearby bathroom. She vomited out whatever she had eaten in the morning. Leaning weekly against the door, she looked at herself in the mirror.Her eyes had pools of mist and she looked pale. She wanted to call out

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
