Amelia POV.
I didn’t really know what this guy was thinking. upon the condition he still wanted to marry me? Any other wolf would have rejected it immediately. The wedding went smoothly without a word from him. I didn’t really panic because I didn’t want to get my hopes up. The rejection from Crane thought me a very big lesson. During the reception as I was serving, his right-man came and dragged me out and gave me a dress to wear and asked me to go for the reception where I saw him call me his bride and mate. When Eliot stopped us, I thought it was over but he held my hand and gave me a beautiful smile. I felt safe at that moment; like anything could happen and I would come out without a scratch. I looked at him as he spoke to Eliot and his brother. He looked so confident, like he could do anything he wanted. I couldn’t help but admire the way he talks, the way he moved and that smile that exposes his white teeth. I didn’t really hear or see anything apart from him. He held my hand and took me out of the Cresent castle. I was so engrossed in the moment that I forgot I had to tell Karla. “Hold on, I need to do something first.” I said and ran to our room. Karla was sitting on the bed. I went to her and gave her a big hug. “What happens now?” Karla asked with tears in her eyes. “I will be going with but I will come and get you soon. I can’t leave you here with this people.” I didn’t trust them especially now that Eliot is angry. He might do something to hurt her. “I will be fine. They will not do anything to me. Just find your family, okay?” she said and hugged me. I promised myself that I wasn’t going to leave her here. I would come back for her. I packed a few things of mine and headed to carriage. I went outside. Drake was waiting to take my things. as I walked, I felt someone grab my hand. I turned and I saw Crane. “I will wait for you.” Drake said and excused himself. “What do you think you are doing?” Crane asked I shoved his hands off. I looked at him. I know I still felt something for him and if he wanted me, I would agree but after what I heard yesterday, all I want to do now is find my family; find where I belong. “Why are you going with him?” he asked again. “Amelia, I know that what happened between us was bad but that doesn’t mean you will just go off and marry anybody you want. Please think about this.” I didn’t know what to say to him. I didn’t want to say anything. I simply walked away. “Amelia. Amelia!” he screamed my name and ran after me. I walked as fast as I could to the carriage. I just didn’t want to look at him. I hopped into the carriage and Drake stopped him. To my shocked, Jackson was there. “What are you doing here?” I asked holding my chest. “Going home?” “We can’t share a carriage. It isn’t proper.” I told him. he had that grin on his face that was so annoying. “Wolf, I came here with only one carriage and I am not going to get another while I have dozens at home. Besides, there is plenty of room in here.” He told me. I didn’t want to argue. I just wanted a peace ride away from this place. But then it hit me; I will be leaving here for the first time. Finally I can leave this hell hole.Amelia’s POV "Holy guacamole," I gasped, staring up at the castle before me. The structure was immense, looming over the landscape like a giant. The towers were tall and stately, the walls thick and imposing. Every surface was carved with intricate patterns and designs, making it seem like a work of art more than a fortification. I had never seen anything like it before, and it took my breath away. “You like what you see?," Jackson asked, his voice almost reverential. "This is way better than Elliot's castle," I said, i didn’t say it because I disliked Elliot, it was the truth. Jackson let out a laugh, his eyes dancing with amusement."You've never been one to mince words, have you?" he said, leading me towards the massive doors of the castle.I grinned, feeling the thrill of anticipation coursing through me. "Nope," I said, the word popping from my lips like a cork from a bottle. "I'm always honest, even when it gets me into trouble."Jackson chuckled, shaking h
Amelia’s POV I stayed put in my room, heartaches from what Simon had said to me last night, heaven knows I was not willing to stay here and go through any kind of insult. I had already faced that in Elliot’s pack.A knock at the door, distracted my thoughts and I shrugged to respond.“Come in” I said“Good morning Ma’am Amelia” the maid greeted, her twinkling eyes. I had no idea why she was smiling.“Alpha Jackson wants to see you” she statedI furrowed my brows, questioned on why he wanted to see me. Was it to apologize for what Simon had said last night? Of course I was pissed on how he had treated me last night, like a piece of trash, a gold digger who needs their wealth and power to survive. “Ill be down in a jiffy” I said to the maid as I watched her walk out of my room, closing the door gently.I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I looked so different in just a night. I shook of the thought of ever becoming a permanent member of this pack. I couldn’t forget the main re
Crane POV “What’s up with you Crane?” I heard my inner wolf ask as I stared frustratedly at the mirror in my bathroom. I looked pale, i looked like someone who hasn’t slept for days now and it was all because of Amelia’s absence the pack for the past few weeks now.“Is it our mate again?” “Who else would keep my mood this way, if not Amelia” I replied, my voice low and sad “We’ve rejected her, what else are you unhappy about”I hissed, my inner wolf made things worse for me, I tried as much as possible not to blame myself for rejecting her because it was for her own good.“Keep that out of my mind, I don’t want to think about it anymore” My wolf went silent just like I had commanded it to do. Many things didn’t feel right these days, I have turned to something else, some sort of evil wolf. That was how I saw myself at this point.Everything clasped in my head, hiding secrets, heaving the pain of rejecting Amelia who only did nothing but love me. I was cruel to have not told her
Amelia's POV.What could be the reason for Kayla's rejection? My eyes couldn't hold back my tears anymore, as I cried silently in the car"You don't have to be so dramatic". Simon uttered giving me the handkerchief he brought out from his breast pocket casually. Can't this people ever be humanly how was I being dramatic here."Thank you" I muttered, taking the handkerchief from him, and cleaning my tears with it."What do you think her reasons may be?". Simon asked, a little bit less concerned, after a bit silence in the car."I'm not sure" I said with a shaky voice, still wanting to cry more. He nodded his head, and faced his gaze to the car window, although the windows were up but we could still see outside from inside. I couldn't help but wonder what they did to her, I've always known that Crescent moon park are of no good. But this time I wouldn't let them get their way. I must figure out what went wrong, and what she was threatened with, but how I'm I going to achieve this? I p
Amelia’s POVI was at the backyard looking at the stars. It was midnight and I couldn’t sleep. Tomorrow is my eighteen birthday and I was so excited. By tomorrow I will know who my mate is and we will do the mating ritual. Although, I already know who my mate is, I am sure it is the Crane. We have been friends for a long time and we fell in love. It was a dream come true. I have had a crush on Crane since I was 12 but I never had the courage to tell him about it. It was just recently he told me about his love for me and we started courting. I am an orphan so there were no parents to stop us and his parents didn’t mind. We were the talk of the whole pack. Crane was the brother of the alpha and were considered as royalty. I will be treated as a luna. It didn’t really matter to me if I was the luna or not, all that mattered was that Crane loves me and I love him deeply. I am certain he is my mate. I went to bed with his picture in my arms. I just knew that tomorrow will be a good da
Amelia’s POV I didn’t know exactly what I felt. Was it anger? Because he rejected me, or was it pain? Because I loved him so much, or maybe it is the bound, giving that I was rejected and I haven’t accepted his rejection. All I knew was that my chest hurt really bad.I went back to the house and went to look for Crane. I wanted an explanation. I didn’t believe all those she-wolves when they said that Crane was just using me. I knew there was an explanation for what he did. I knew that he loved me. Maybe he was just sacred of the mating ritual.I searched round the house and I couldn’t find him. I even went to his room even though I am not allowed to and looked for him but he was not there. I figured that he wanted to be alone and think. There was still time to renew our bound because I haven’t rejected him and I will never do that. I love him, and I know he loves me too.I went back to my room in the servants’ quarters and there he was, standing with his back towards me. He was looki
Amelia’s POV It has been three months now since all this happened and Crane and I have barely met eyes talk more of speaking. I didn’t want to speak to him. There was nothing to say. He never loved me I was a very big fool.A party was held and all wolves around the states were coming. Alphas. Beta and she-wolves. The alpha of our pack was having his mating ritual with his mate Lydia so it was a big thing. I was cleaning the floor of the hall when someone poured water on the floor. I looked up and it was Lydia. I didn’t even know what the alpha saw in her. She is so rude and cruel.“You were dreaming of becoming a luna but you ended up back where you belong. You will always be the maid.” She laughed and left. I wasn’t really bothered. That is how she is. Always trying to get on my nerves. Then I used to get angry but now I don’t feel anything.I finished cleaning the hall alone and was going through the hall way when I heard some people quarrelling in the room. The door was a litt
Crane’s POV.What I did was the right decision. I can’t say it is the best but it was better. I always knew Amelia was special. From the day they brought her into our castle till now I knew there was something about her and if she transformed, my brother will use her for his evil deed.Charming her was not my intention. She was just so different; her scent, aura, hair and blood. It didn’t really an alpha scent but something more than that and I knew that she deserved better. I couldn’t really stand still and watch them bully and torture herself every time; especially that Lydia, my brother’s luna. No one will tell her but we all know that she is jealous of Amelia. Maybe she also senses her aura as well.That night under the moonlight I had accepted her, rejecting her was the best option at that moment. If I had accepted as my mate then things would have gone really bad for her and I didn’t want that. I love her. From the first day she came into the castle I have loved her and that is
