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 the real reason for pushing her away. “You cannot have her, she’s a member of this pack and I forbid you to ever come here again” I heard a voice from down my room. Was that Elliot’s voice? I looked down the window and I was amazed of what I was seeing. What was Amelia going here? And who was the man who stood beside her like a protector. I rushed down to see things clearly, and when I did, the maids scurried away as they had been peeping on whatever that happened outside. “What’s going on here?” I asked and immediately Amelia and I looked at each other. There was the way she stared at me now it was so different from the way she looks at me in the past. “I want my friend out of your pack, give Kayla to me.” Amelia said and now I understood what was going on. “If you want Kayla, she has to be the one to make a decision” I signaled to one of the gammas to call Kayla to come out here, since she was the reason for the whole conflict. Silence engulfed in our midst and I couldn’t help but dart my eyes from Amelia to the man next to her. “I’m here alpha” Kayla’s mild voice broke the silence “Kayla, I’ve come here to take you with me. Remember I promised I’ll come back for you” Amelia said Kayla walked forward towards Amelia, holding hands with her. “I’m glad you came back for me Amelia but...” she paused for a moment, wiping a teary eye, Amelia looked at her, waiting for her response which was obviously turning out to be s negative one. “But I can’t leave, I’ve got to stay here” Kayla finally spoke Amelia shook her head, disagreeing with what Kayla had said. “I’m not leaving you here Kayla” “She’s made her choice Amelia, you can leave now” Elliot spoke, his voice fierce, an evidence that he was soon going to explode with anger if Amelia refused to leave. But deep down, I didn’t want her to go just yet. I needed to talk to her. “If that’s the case, we have to leave Amelia” the man next to Amelia said, his voice unconcerned. “Kayla, think about it, you can’t keep staying here as an omega. You’re offered nothing here. Come with me” “Kayla, her back inside” Elliot commanded, Kayla whimpered, trying to go away but Amelia wouldn’t let go of her hands. I felt bad at this point, and I wondered why Kayla has made such decision. Finally Kayla was released and she rushed back inside. “I guess we are done here” Elliot asked Amelia the the man “Of course not, we still have a lot of things to catch up on Elliot and crane” the man next to Amelia said, his voice serious. I couldn’t help but think about what he meant by that. Even Elliot kept mute. “I do not know what you two have done to my friend but I promise that this is far from over”Amelia said as she walked away, the followed behind, they both entered their car and drove off. “Do you think they already know about it?” I asked Elliot, he gave me this stern look. “It would take them forever to find about Amelia’s identity, do not worry” Elliot said as he walked back inside the mansion. Why did it feel like they knew something already? It’d be a good thing if Amelia knew about her real identity as the only heir to her parents pack but the consequences behind that would be on i and Elliot.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
Amelia’s POVI wanted to steal the show, and I made sure I did.It was the first step to my plan. I wanted to get not only Eliot’s attention or the alphas present, but the entire crowd. I wanted to make Lydia feel threatened. To the other wolves it might not be a problem but to she-wolves, especially the ones that are to be mated to someone like an alpha that has so many wolves to his disposal, it is a problem.Immediately I came inside the ball room, a lot of wolves were asking me for a dance. I felt amazed. It was the first time I had a choice but this time I had to be very precise. My fate lies on this very ball.None of the wolves asking for my hand caught my attention. I needed to get Eliot’s attention and that is by dancing with and alpha, especially one higher than him. I gave one of the beta’s my hand first; the strongest one I could sense. I didn’t want anyone to discover my plan so I took it nice and easy. He was kind enough to take me to the middle of the dance floor. He
Jackson’s POVI didn’t want to come for this wedding in the first place but I hand no choice. I hate the crescent pack; they are lairs and manipulators. I told everyone but they didn’t believe him. Eliot knew I hated him so him sending a special invitation didn’t come as a shock to me. he probably wants to rub it in at he has a mate now and that to with another pack. I had to attend if not it will be a sign of rebellion and might cause a war among wolves. Even though I know I will win, after all I am in strongest alpha, I didn’t want to cause an unnecessary fight. It would just be worth my time.I knew the party would be luxurious, but Eliot took it too far. I didn’t really care though; it is not my wedding neither is it my money. I saw the order of event and I couldn’t help but laugh. A three-day event? Anyways I could care less. One of the maids escorted I and my right-hand man to our room. It is not really normal for an alpha to share his room with someone but this is Eliot’s wa
Jackson’s POVShe turned around and held her chest.“I am so sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you.” I apologized immediately.“It’s fine. I just didn’t think anyone would be here.” She told me with a little smile.We were both silent for a while. I looked at her and I couldn’t help but stare. She was wearing a mask but she still looked stunning especially on the black dress.“So, what is a pretty girl like you doing here all alone?” I asked. I was just curious.“Nothing.” she told me.“I doubt that.”She looked at me and sighed. I gave her one of my enchanting smiles.“Its complicated.” She finally said.“Try me.”She told me that she needs to dance with an alpha because he has a lot of power and connection. A more powerful alpha than me? I could hardly believe that. From the way she talked, she was distressed and confused.“And what might be the name of this alpha?” I asked. She looked not convinced, like she wasn’t going to tell me. I wasn’t going to push it. It was her problem after
