Maxwell's father asked Amelia to wash his feet. He asked her to clean the entire house with a tooth brush and also sent all the maids home for a week.Amelia cried and begged but work kept coming. It was like she never had the freedom she experienced before. That night of freedom was more of a punishment to her."When you're done, I want you to cut the grasses outside. Don't use the lawnmower, use your hands. I prefer them hand plucked."He smacked her on the back as he passed by. His touch was more aggressive than a blow. She wished he had just used his mouth.After she was done hand picking the grasses at his courtyard, Maxwell went on to give her more treacherous jobs to do. Each one, more tiring and stressful than the previous.By noon, Amelia collapsed totally on top of her bed.She had thought that was going to be the end when someone knocked on her door.She pressed her eyes tightly, not moving an inch under her blanket, hoping whoever it was would get the memo and leave but he
The lycan king, Alex had just conquered yet another battled and was seated on his throne."Ah!" He sighed, taking his hand to his head, "I am so tired and stressed. It feels like I would need a massage"His guard came to his side, requesting to call in the lady who had been his favorite but he refused."I need no more concubines," he muttered. "I need a mate"His beta wolf and friend, Gillian stepped forward, "but Alpha, you already have Sandra. Why not take her up as a mate?"Alex spat out. He shook his head and then eyed Gillian."Sandran and I go way back but that is not enough reason to have her as a mate."He relaxed into his chair, "She does not have a heart of gold and she seems to be someone who will not be so kind to my people, I can not choose her"Speaking of the devil and the doors swing open. It was Sandra. She looked beautiful in her white long flowing dress and golden earrings. She had a smile on her face and a tray in her hands."Alpha Alex, I came bearing gifts. I ho
Amelia picked up the toothbrush to stare at it. She looked at Maxwell and then at the toothbrush again."This?"He huffed, "What's the matter? You can't use it?" He folded his arms and smiled at her."But it's too small. How am I supposed to clean the entire house with this?"She looked pitiful with her eyebrows curled up together like that. Amelia's bright blue eyes had dimmed with saggy eyebags to show.She looked drained and lost. The punishments and torture Maxwell was giving to her could be seen a mile away."But it's really small"She squeaked."Say that again and I'll make sure to turn you into something much smaller than that. Don't dare me"He opened his arms to stretch his back. "Start working immediately. I'll be having guest over soon"Amelia had nothing else to say, she obeyed him with no further complaints as she got down on her knees and hands. She pulled the bucket of water to herself, dipped the toothbrush into the soap filled water, shimmered it for a while and put
Maxwell was kind enough to help her out. He stood up to serve his friend and even went ahead to grill meat for them."Fetch the cooler of drinks" he yelled into the house as he flipped over the grilled meat.Amelia could smell what was on fire from inside. She was down on her knees, salivating and breathing, it made her stomach churn a little.The command was meant for her as she got on her feet and immediately walked to the balcony. That was where she saw him keep the cooler and she had to be fast about it.Her wolf had not yet come out but Maxwell would not take that as an excuse for her not bringing his cooler of drinks down.She dragged it down the stairscase and unto the outside porch. Amelia had it outside with several more pushes and drags."Here you go" she opened it up and started handing over the drinks one by one to his friends. They received it, but without thanks. Amelia took the last of it to Maxwell, he was covered in sweat and surely, she imagined that he would be in
Alpha Alex stepped out of his limousine in style. He already had on his furry coat and golden head staff which was shaped as a wolf."Welcome Alpha" the guard said with a smile. He shook the alpha a little and got a tap on the back from him.Alpha Alex smiled. He liked the way he had been welcomed. There was a standing ovation right behind him and also a red carpet to grace his footsteps. "I hope you love the ambience and warm welcome. I hope it meets your taste" alpha David of the bloodhound pack stretch his hand forth to give Alex a handshake.Alex accepted his handshake with a smile and went further to give him a bow."This is a bit too much for someone like me. I am quite honoured to be in your presence" "When we heard you were coming to our pack, we had no choice but to try and welcome you in whatever we saw fitting. Aside the decorations and the people, we also have food for you and your people" alpha David pointed to the trays of meat, vegetables and fruits. There were mount
Amelia ran out of her mate's house like a mad woman. She bursted the doors open and pushed past the curtains."Maxwell, please stop!" Maxwell was raging on. He held tightly to the door as he watched her run into the woods. Amelia stumbled as she missed a step and tripped."Maxwell!!! Stop, you're going to kill her"He had rushed to her and grabbed her by the neck. He was choking her. His fist had gone into her abdomen and blood had started rolling out of her nose."Maxwell… " she struggled to breath, "you're hurting me!"Maxwell paid her no attention as he squeezed tighter.He had a good image online and the fact that she thought she could record him pissed him the most."You thought you could dare me!" He held down on her face and smash her in the eye."Fucking bitch, you thought you could bring me down!!!" He roared.Another punch!Another again!!And then one last one!All powerful punches and Amelia almost passed out."Max…. ""Stupid fucking bitch!" He threatened to punch again
Amelia knelt immediately beside his father. She closed her eyes too, pretending she had passed out. She had no time to think or what to say. If Maxwell saw her conscious while his father was on the floor, blood flowing out of his head, there was sure to be trouble."Father!" He rushed to his father first. He held his leg and then tried to shake him."Father!" He shook again.His father was not moving. Maxwell tried to find out what was happening. He touched his father around until he saw his father's head. He had a cut in it. He looked out to find what had cut him. Amelia opened her eyes a little. She had to see what was going on."Father, what happened?" Maxwell held his father in his arms, still trying to find out what had happened.Maxwell had his back to her which gave Amelia an idea. What if she was to gently crawl over to the other side of the room, open the door and run outside?But!The chances were slim. Their old and noisy crammed up door would surely give her away. If it d
Amelia held her chest in her hand. Her breast was about to fall off. Her breathing was fast and short. She was panting heavily. Her good eyes could see clearly but not too far wide. Her bad eye felt itchy, sweaty and had more pores coming out of them than before."Moon goddess help me" she cried while she ran. She was almost out of breath."Just a few more minutes. Please, help me"Amelia was running for her life. She turned to her back occasionally. She was sure he was not far behind. Him and his brothers. He was faster than the rest of them and so she was more concerned about him. With one push of the leg, he could catch her."Please moon goddess. Even if you have not given my wolf to me, please, I beg you. Help me escape Maxwell!"Her prayer was cut off by the loud groan sound heard above her head.She looked up to find Maxwell up above her. He had a wicked smile on his face."Where do you think you're going, my mate?"Maxwell dropped in front of her. He was in his wolf form. He wa
Amelia's belly has grown twice in size since the last time she had seen the doctor. She was almost due and had to call him in for a checkup again. "You'll be having a girl this time", the doctor touched on her stomach. He felt a kick and raised his head to smile at her, "Your baby is doing great too".Alex, who stood by her with her hands interlock in his, stepped forward. "Is there anything we need to do to prepare for the coming of the baby?".The doctor shook his head. Alex was not satisfied. "Any scan? Any treatment? Any test for her at all?".The doctor still shook his head, "Your baby is fine and she will be fine too" he pointed to Amelia.Amelia saw the nervousness in his eyes. She held his hand tightly and reassured him again, "Trust me. I'll be fine. This isn't my first rodeo you know". She flashed him her white teeth.That calmed Alex. He leaned in for a kiss and went back to standing by her side.The check up was over and they both got ready to leave. Alex sat in front wi
Amelia was led only to Alpha Alex's chambers. He had her wear a blindfold and carefully guided her steps to the bed."Sit".Gently, she sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for what would happen next. Her heart was beating profusely while she swiped her tongue on her lips to wet them."How did you know about all of this?" Amelia tried to start a conversation. "I never left you. I had you in my mind the whole time and I am never going to leave". He bent a knee and dipped his hand into his pocket."Open your eyes, Amelia", he said to her while he positioned well. "I want you to be my wife again. My love for you has never left. Let us renew our vows".Amelia took off her blindfold to find the love of her life kneeling before her. Those eyes were sincere and kind. She held her breath and covered her mouth. "What are you doing?""I'm asking you to be my mate again. Love me like I was dying. Please, marry me".Amelia swallowed down. Her cheeks turned red. "You're making me smile"."Yes, a
Amelia watched all that was happening with an open mouth. All her sadness had seeped out of her as she was now surprised."We are giving you one last chance, Sandra. You better confess".Sandra hissed many times as she felt a sting in her side. It was getting worse. Her flesh was now half gone. "Give me a shot. I'm in pain!".A nurse moved to her. She wanted to administer something but the alpha stopped her. He looked into Sandra's eyes, "Confess or you will die alone and before all of us".Tears rolled down Sandra's eyes. She looked over at Amelia, "This is all because of you"."You wouldn't let me have the man of my dreams".Alex blocked off her view. "You make it seem like she had been the one who forced you to have the kind of life you wanted. Do you not know I have been watching you?".He snapped his finger and the guard she had been with approached them."Say hello to Cornell. He is my cousin but I made sure you didn't know about him. You and Cornell made love last night. Didn
Amelia ran through the woods as the sun began to rise. She had been running restlessly, searching for a clue of who could have taken her baby but found no success.Her breath was getting deeper. She stopped to draw in a new one. "Where could her baby be?".She thought of going back to Maxwell. He might have had a clue, but she was not so sure. She wanted to ask for help from Alex. He would have been concerned in times like this but she could not also go back to him. Her oath still held her back. Filled with frustration and anger, Amelia sat by a river bank and began to cry."How about you go meet the Alpha? He might be able to help after all." " her wolf whispered to her. Amelia stopped to think, "But we aren't allowed to meet with him"."You're not allowed to meet as lovers or mate but that shouldn't stop you from meeting and asking for help. What if he could be the only one to help?".Her wolf made a valuable point to her. Amelia sprung up on her feet and began to make her way to A
Alex sat comfortably on his bed. He heard a knock on the door and walked over to open it. "Have you gotten it?", He said as he unlocked the door and pulled it open. The rogue walked through with a baby in its hands. He still had his dark cloak on which covered his face.He stopped by a chair and then handed the sleeping child to Alex."I found what you had wanted. You will keep to your part of the deal right?"."Of course. You have helped me and I will do as you please". He smiled, "However, do you still wish to go on with your revenge?"."I came to help you out because of the genuine love I saw you have for your mate, I bargained for you to help my people while I sacrificed myself"."I know but must you take your life also?" Alex took the baby from his hand. The child was fast asleep, making light snores as he cradled up on Alex's broad chest."I have to". He turned around and walked to the door. He stopped when he placed his hands on the doorknob. "I am taking you as a man of you
Sandra's spy made his way to her room. He was known for being stealthy and that was the reason she had picked him as hers in the first place."What do you find?" she asked as soon as she saw him. His eyes met hers underneath his mask. She could see those but not his lips. No one had ever seen his lips."Alpha Alex had someone come into his chambers when you were not around".He mumbled underneath the mask.Sandra sprang up on her feet. "Did you find out who it was and what they brought to him?"."No".She drew in a deep breath and walked to him. "What's the use of having a spy like you if you can not get simple things done?".Her spy stood still. He apologized after he was scolded.Sandra groaned. "I don't take 'sorries', you have to compensate for this somehow. She moved closer to him. His scent became more prominent. She drew in all of it."How can I please you, Luna?".She watched him say. Her eyes looked at where she had expected his lips to be and then gradually, her eyes fell t
Amelia felt rage coursing through her veins. She swallowed hard and tightened her grip on the rope she had on her wrist."Where is my son?"."He's fine. What did you hear?", She could see Maxwell's fingertips shaking. His chin shivered. He moved a step backward. Blood dripping from her mouth and nose made her look ferocious. The blueness in her eyes had turned dark. Her entire eye socket has turned back.Her fangs sprung forth and her tongue lengthened. Her claws grew in size and darkened. They turned black.She raised her head up and slowly looked into his eyes as she gritted her voice, "I said.. where is my son?".Maxwell felt the hair on the back of his neck stand. Suddenly, he felt fear tie a knot in his stomach. He had never seen Amelia, the weakling, this way. She looked like she could kill him with those eyes.He stepped back, dropped the whip he had in his hand, and ran away.His wolf had been wounded and he had no time to recover. If he dared to attack her, he might not win.
Amelia hid herself behind a tree as she tried to control her breath. It was getting dark and she had been on the run for hours. Her eyes felt weary and her body was tired. She didn't have anywhere to go but she had to keep moving."He would never forgive me for this". She squatted down. She heaved a sigh and closed her eyes."Think Amelia. Where can you go and how can you get your child back?" Amelia slapped her head lightly.She heard her footsteps coming behind her. Her eyes clicked open. Someone was nearby. She prayed to the moon goddess, "Not today. Not today please. Save me".But the moon goddess didn't listen. Something grabbed her by the neck and pulled her backward."You thought you could run away from me, didn't you?"He shook her and pulled her hair. "You didn't think I would get back at you for this, did you?"His pull was hurting her, he was almost ripping her hair out of her head."Maxwell you're hurting me!" He pulled harder. Maxwell dragged her by the hair until he
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
