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."
Alpha Alex laughed. He backed away a little but came back immediately."Sandra, you do not need to come at her that way. She's someone very important"Sandra didn't back away, "If she is so important then who is she?"Amelia was shaking in her boots. The woman before was beautiful and not just that, she was the daughter of a beta wolf. She was miles off her league. Amelia felt herself looking down at her feet and her dress, she was becoming more self aware."Her name is Amelia and she is my mate"Alex said proudly behind her.His words made Sandra stop. She lifted her gaze to him and then back at Amelia. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "What do you mean by she is your mate?""You heard me right, Sandra"Alex reaffirmed. His lips curved into a smile. He took his hand to Amelia's shoulder and then caressed it, "Isn't that right, Amelia?"Amelia's eyes had not let her feet. She went an extra mile by lowering her head."I would like to be excused"She whispered quietly.Alpha Alex smiled
