The alpha had requested for Amelia to be given a room in his mansion. He had seen how she had been beaten and decided she was not to be taken back to her mate's home. He was far too rough with her."I will stand guard, Incase anyone wants to touch her in her sleep" Alex grabbed a stool beside the wardrobe and dropped it by her side. He dragged up his pants and sat on it."There is no need for that. The guards here are very capable and they will surely bring no harm to her. You can come with us" Alpha David said by the door frame. He was standing outside with his wife.Alex looked back at them, "Alpha Alex, if I may. I see how happy and excited you are. You laugh and smile so warmly because your mate is with you. I want that too"He looked back at Amelia's face. "I want to have my mate look at me that way and smile. Please, allow me that chance"He caressed her face.Alpha David's Luna pulled him to her side. "He needs some privacy with her, let them be." She whispered into his ears.
Maxwell held a bat in his hand while he was in his wolf form. Dried blood had stained its handle and its wood. I was in shock when I saw it."Amelia, I've missed you. Won't you say it back to me?"He spoke.My body immediately began to tremble. Miss me? After all he had done. What did he take me for?At that moment, the hurts, kicking and heavy punching no longer felt like a joke to me. It was as clear as day.Maxwell had hurt me and I had remembered it.I called out to my parents to come see what was happening at the door but no one answered. "Mother! Father!! Come see what Maxwell is holding" I called again but yet no one said anything to me.I started to feel heat from behind where I was standing and this gave me more heat inside of me."Mother! father!" I tried to call again and this time, when they did not respond, I turned to see what was going on.I was welcomed by a blazing fire. It was behind me and almost about to engulf me. It was coming from our living room and was nearly
Amelia shifted in her seat. She took her hand to her face to wipe her eyes but noticed nothing was there.Her face was as clear as a crystal."What happened to me?" She touched her forehead and then grabbed her cheeks."Something is definitely wrong""I made sure to heal you while you were asleep, the horror he gave to you was too gruesome to witness. I just could not take it. " The handsome blue-eyed man said to her.Amelia paid him no mind at first but then touched her eye. The swollen eye Maxwell had punched a lot of time. She felt the soft skin of her eyes and then noticed her eyebrows were in place. "What did you do to me?"She raised her eyes to see him looking at her. "Are you some kind of witch doctor or a friend of Maxwell?"She had two scenarios in her head. It was either he had sent someone to heal her and also take care of her, while he got ready to hurt her again.That was possible, or maybe he had punched her and left her to die until the Handsome blue-eyed man found he
Amelia smiled at him. She jumped out of the bed with excitement beaming on her face."You want to kill him?"Alpha Alex laughed, "Would that make you smile? I could do anything to make you happy, all you need to do is to smile. That's all"Her smile looked deeper. She was loving this gorgeous man."Alright, now, to the business of the day, Amelia, I want you, be mine"Amelia smacked her lips. Her smile was still on her face as she thought of what he said."You want me to be your mate? How different would you be from the mate I thought I had?"There was a moment of silence. Everyone's breath could be heard."So, with what I went through in mind, do you think I would really want a mate?"It was a tough question but Alpha Alex was ready to answer it."I understand your concerns and your plight, however, I am not your former mate. I will respect you, love you and make you happy. I have Alpha David here to confirm the kind of man I am. I will do nothing to make you shed a tear, I promise.
Amelia jumped a little when she heard that sound."What was that?"She heard nothing. "Wait, who said that?" She asked again.Alpha Alex knocked on the door. He smiled a little on his end. "It was me""How did you talk to me without talking to me?" The question had seemed a little funny to ask but she needed to know. How was it possible that he had spoken to her but she couldn't hear him outside?"I told you, you are my mate and as such, we are connected."He asked for permission to open the door and walked in."I can link with you now that you are my mate. All that is left is for me to Mark you and perform the mating ceremony. After that, we would be good to go"Amelia was speechless. She had heard that Mates were able to communicate with each other but never had she had the experience. It felt wonderful."Turn around and look at yourself. You are only befitting for a king and no one else. Don't you see that?"He swirled her a little, back to the mirror and pointed at her reflection.
Arrangements had been made to take Amelia back and soon, everything was ready.Amelia was driven in Alpha Alex's car where she had her jaw hanging for the most of the ride, until they were halfway out of her own pack."You seemed surprised. What is the problem?" Alpha Alex asked her. His words broke through her thoughts and made her come back to reality.Amelia shook her head."I was just so surprised. I've never been here before and this life is amusing""What life?"He sounded so casual about it. But could she blame him? He was an alpha.That meant he was definitely used to the lavish lifestyle she was amused by."Oh no!" She opted to say, "it's nothing. It's just that I'm fascinated by the drive and charade everyone is having in your name" Alex shrugged. It was not a big deal to him, they were always like that to him.He tightened his grip around the steering wheel.At least he was the one driving.That or maybe he just wanted to be humble."I'm sorry if it bothers you but you wi
"I said get out" his voice was slowly rising. Amelia jittered. She knew it already. No one would ever love her, much less see her as a mate when she had no wolf, no power, no strength and definitely nothing else to offer.If Maxwell could not accept her, how much more the man who was a leader of his people?Amelia sighed. She placed her hand on the car door and wanted opening it when she heard Alpha Alex laugh.She stopped.What was funny?"Did you really think that I would let you leave and not get mated with you because you are wolf-less?"His words in between his laugh made her come back.What was happening? She wiped her tears and took one full look at him."I don't understand you.. what you mean?" Sobs were waiting to happen.Alpha Alex took a hold of her hand. He pulled her into himself and hugged her."Amelia, I made enough findings about you before I approached you so you don't really need to tell me anything about you."He squeezed her tightly into his embrace."I know how
Amelia looked around Alpha Alex's mansion in amazement. It was truly wonderful. The walls were coated with grey paint and white finishings. The roof was black and neat. He had a side wall that had red bricks on them which gave her a feeling of walking on a red carpet. At the entrance, Amelia saw birds in a cage. They looked happy."They all look wonderful" she said as she got closer to them. Their light blue feathers and orange beaks shone brightly."They look beautiful" Alpha Alex smiled. "Thank you but not as beautiful as you"Amelia couldn't help but smile. His compliment was getting to her. "Come with me" he held out for her hand. Amelia gave into him. She followed him slowly until they arrived at his throne room.The door opened for Alpha Alex to walk through which he did boldly with Amelia in his arms. "This is where I have my meetings with guest and over there is where you and I will be seated"Amelia raised her eyes to see a high pedestal with two seats on it. She smiled."
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
