Amelia opened her eyes slowly. The light from the window she was facing nearly blinded her with its bright rays of sunlight. She hissed and then proceeded to turn to her side.She blinked several times as she tried to get her eyes accustomed to the environment before she opened it up completely.The first person she saw was her mate. Alpha Alex.He was seated beside her, wearing a frown.She sat up quickly, wiped her face, and then spoke, "What's wrong?""Nothing"."You can't say nothing is wrong with that look on your face. Tell me, what's wrong?"Alex wondered if she had fainted so hard that she slipped out of reality for a second. It was so hard to tell if she remembered all that had happened before. Was he going to be the one to remind her? He sighed. He had to. "Well, Sandra is requesting to speak with you and only you. She says she will not tell us the location of your child if she doesn't meet with you". He felt his heart break a little as he spoke.Amelia looked down at her
Sandra danced her brows around. They moved up and down as she smiled and tried to make jest of the situation."It's my turn to laugh now", she said as she scoffed and turned to face Amelia, "I told you you would regret it, didn't I?" Amelia exhaled with a sigh."After this, will you tell me where my son is?"Sandra nodded, "Yes. But before I do so, Alex has to take the oath too. I can stop you but I can't stop him and what would be the point of it?".Amelia looked over her shoulder to find Alex. His eyes were already on her. On her back, to be precise.Her bare back had scratch marks on it.It took everything in Alex not to run over them and embrace her as he would tightly snuggle her in his arms. He held back the tears in his eyes and his breaking heart, watching Amelia, the woman after his heart beg for her son's sake.Especially in front of the massive crowd that had gathered in front of his mansion.It was heartbreaking to see."I hope you don't mind the people here." Sandra st
"I abide by the laws of the above and the laws of below"."And so it shall be" Sandra finished off her statement with a clap and a broader smile on her face.She turned to the crowd with a fierce look, "why aren't you all clapping? Do you want to get killed?"Her words spunned them into clapping with stopping. Sandra nodded her head. She looked at the crowd with pride in her heart.She had done it. She was going to rule over them.She looked back at Amelia, "You can get off now".Amelia felt frozen on the spot. She could barely move her legs , and her chest was stagnant."Move!" Sandra pushed her.Amelia staggered. She almost fell when Alex caught her in his arms. He spooned her up to safety and made her balance properly on her feet."You're about to be apart, you're not allowed to do that to her!" Sandra yelled, she came in between the both of them and pushed them further apart."Wait for me in the meeting room" She faced Amelia. Her head turned sideways, "You, come with me!" Sand
Amelia cleared her throat. She had been sitting in a car for hours, on her way, headed back to her pack. She was to be received by Alpha David. He was aware of what was happening."How far is it from here?" She looked at the driver. Their eyes met when he looked up at the mirror over his head. He had black eyes. Scary but amusing."It shouldn't take too long, Luna". He looked back at the road and then at the map his phone had stationed for him. "Once we get over this bridge, I'm sure we'll be halfway across".Amelia sighed. Halfway to hell was what he should have said. She was tired already.Meeting Maxwell after what she had done to him and his father, she presumed, would be her worst nightmare yet.Over the bridge and another one, Amelia watched the trees pass her by. Quietly, she sat, pitying herself. No mate, no baby, and certainly no happiness.Was the moon goddess against her in this life?"We're here", the driver honked at the gate. Amelia's eyes ran to see what awaited her, bu
Maxwell sank into his couch. He let out a loud sigh."It's so good to have you home again. Would you believe I haven't touched the dishes since you left?"He wasn't kidding.The kitchen reeked of stink. It smelled like someone had died in there. Amelia perched her two fingers on her nose, trying to hold her breath in. She moved to the window for fresh air."What do you want with me?"Maxwell got comfortable. He pulled his shirt off and adjusted his belt. He slacked in his chair."Well. I'm trying to get back to you. I've gone this far for you. Shouldn't that be enough to mean love to you?"Lies. All of it."What do you want?" She was still poking her nose out the window. A cold wind blew on her face, easing the pain and the stench."I want you, Amelia". She heard his voice closer than it was. She turned to see he had gotten up and was now making his way towards her.She faced him, clenched her fist, and positioned her body. She was ready to throw him a punch.He closed the gap between
Alpha Alex retired to bed early. He was not in the best of moods to smile or mingle with anyone. Ever since Amelia left, no one had seen his laugh lines. Those bright blue eyes looked dull whenever they met people.“Tonight is the night”, Sandra came jumping on the bed. It jiggled a little but Alex lay still.“I've missed you and I'm glad I can finally take what's mine”. She snuggled up behind him”. For so long, I thought I was going to lose you, thankful to the moon goddess, I didn’t”. As her hands touched Alex, he flung them away. “Don’t touch me”.“And how are we supposed to make children if you act this way towards me”, Sandra attempted to touch him again but he slapped her hand off. He turned to face her, “Do not touch me, I say”.It didn’t look like she was going to listen with her numerous attempts to grab him by the waist. Alex tried to ward her off and when it seemed like it was not going to work, he grabbed his pillow and got up.“There are countless rooms in this mansion
The horror in Amelia's eyes deepened. She sniffed again, wiping her teary eyes while she folded her arms again. Her legs were red from excessive squatting."You don't have to do this," she squeaked. As if those words were meant to do anything to him.Maxwell pulled his belt out. His pants fell from his waist. Amelia's eyes widened as she saw his rocked hard self straighten. It scared her. He was by far the biggest she had ever seen, and she was not liking it. Maxwell dragged her by the arm out of the corner. He threw her over the table, making her slam her back into the concrete wall behind them. Amelia winced. A sharp pain in her side made her whimper.All those actions did not provoke pity. Not with those eyes, Maxwell had.In them, she could see hunger.Lust.Torture.She recovered herself and sat up straight."Take off your blouse. I've waited far too long for this". He commanded. Amelia had no choice. He had her son with him and if she dared to say no, she was sure she would n
The night had covered and Alex had changed into a darker outfit. He had to blend with the night if he didn't want to be spotted.He marched into the night and shifted his form. He needed to be stealthy and swift so he moved with speed but made no noise.The wind blew in his face but his vision was unwavering. His eyes were as sharp as day. He perched on a tree next to the mirror cave, waiting to see what was going to happen."Who could it be?".He waited for minutes until finally, something crept into the cave. He saw it. Dark, thin, and sneaky. He could not make out a face because of the black cloak it wore but he knew for sure that it was not a member of his pack."I have to find out who it is?"It seemed like a trap but a trap worth getting into if he could get Amelia back was one he was willing to risk himself in. He jumped down.Slowly and quietly, he shifted forms back to his human self and straightened his back. Alex looked around for any living thing in the area and when he sa
