AMELIA

What the hell am I even doing here?

Guilt was real, constantly clenching my chest, and the effect was clusterfucked.

I wished I could just stab myself for penance, maybe, inflict the pain so I would suffer instead of his, but life didn’t always go as we wanted it to be.

Instead, here I was at the bar alone when I should be at Ryden’s side, self-loathing— I kept recalling what happened in my head, and I wished I could go back there and change it.

“Give me the strongest you have,” I told the werewolf bartender. It was disgusting that I could smell a woman’s arousal from him. I hoped he washed his hands before he got back to work.

“ID, please?”

I groaned before I let my eyes glow. Couldn’t he smell me?

He nodded and poured me a shot of Tennessee whiskey.

“Thanks.” I gulped it in one shot, making me grimace. The alcohol was nothing compared to the guilt and conscience that burned in my throat.

I put the glass down and asked for another. “Hey. Can I ask you something?”

    AMELIA The man growled. When I turned around, his nose was flaring. His hands formed into fists. “You can’t scare me, bud.” I patted his chest and walked past him. I knew the alpha heard my word. Now was the time to have a lone time with him, that was, if he would take the bait. I left the club and used the exit. The smell of vomit and piss almost made me puke. The alley was eerily silent, except for the faint sound of the music and the clicking sound of my heels. Remember when girls got holdup, kidnapped, or violated in the movies? This was the same scenario where I put myself into. I just hoped it was worth the risk. I made out a few feet from the club, and he hadn’t shown up. I guess he didn’t take my bait. I thought of going back, but this plan always worked for most people. But he must not be one of those people. “You declined my invitation.” His voice was calm, confident, and deep, and he sounded older than I initially thought. My heart nearly stopped, but I was also gri

    AMELIA The next day, I received a bouquet of roses, though, and I burned it to ashes when the initial on the card was L instead of R. He probably expected to meet me tonight. I still couldn’t get him out of my head even before going to bed. I didn’t know why. My stomach twisted in knots, but every time I thought of his face, it made my heart flutter. Another beautiful morning. I supposed it was another beautiful morning, bright sun streaming through the opened curtain window, blue clear sky, and another breakfast I missed— intended to miss if I were to be honest. I ghosted everyone because I couldn’t even look them in the eye. I couldn’t even look Ryden in the eye without feeling the knife sink and twist in my chest. It was the guilt that taunted me from stabbing him and meeting a man behind his back. I mean, who stabbed a mate twice? The reason may be valid, but the trauma was real. And it broke my heart thinking that it left me no other way to save him. The word save seemed ab

    RYDEN “Wanna take a break?” I couldn’t help but be proud of myself when Ren told me that I made a lot of progress. If you put a lot of effort and time into something, it always gave you a lot of satisfaction when it ended up with success. “I’m good.” We’d trained since sunrise, and my wounds were healing fast. Not as my heart though. I hadn’t seen Amelia since that day. I missed her, and my wolf was anxious and desperate to feel her, but I gave her enough time to heal herself, and I knew she was not going anywhere. “Let’s take a break.” I didn’t insist on continuing, so I bowed. “Sensei.” “You don’t have to call me that.” He chuckled. I liked the sword he lent me, one of his family’s heirlooms. I didn’t realize what he meant when he asked if I wanted to take a break. I was too focused on the training until my wolf purred, and the scent brought in the air verified it. My heart started hammering as I turned to find her. The moment our gazes locked, all those worries faded away.

    AMELIA “So this guy is an asshole,” he muttered. His gaze was glued to the movie we were watching. I glared at him as I pointed at his laptop screen on the bed table. “He’s a good guy, Alpha. Okay, I admit, I found him overbearing, arrogant, overconfident, cocky, self-centered—” “That’s a lot, ladybug. And I told you he’s an asshole.” I groaned as I stuffed a few french fries into my mouth. It was unladylike but I was hungry, and he saw me. “Shut up,” I said with my mouthful. “As I was saying.” “Chew what’s in your mouth, Amelia.” He was making fun of me, and he didn’t even try to hide it. “As I was saying, yes. He’s a grade-A asshole, but later on, he saved his brother and a lot of people. He’s kinda a handsome anti-hero and later on becomes a hero.” “You just like his face.” I smiled as I looked at his face. “You’re more handsome than him. And I like your eyes better.” I dipped the fries into the ketchup and offered it to him. He bit and ate it. “Thanks.” “Now, let’s watc

    RYDEN Amelia was still curled into a ball when I left to get our dinner in the kitchen. The only food we had was our lunch from the fast food we ordered. I took the tray inside her room and shut the door slowly when a gasp came from her. Growling, her eyes glowed golden, and the sword in her grip was aiming at me. “Amelia, it’s me.” I held the food with one hand and flicked the light open. She blew a breath and shut her eyes close, putting away the sword. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have sneaked in like that.” I went to the side of the bed and put the tray on the bedside table. “I’m sorry.” She took a seat and pulled her knees to her chest. “We can say sorry all we want or I thought you might be hungry.” I pressed my lips against her forehead. “Were you having nightmares since you stayed here?” “Nope. Never had.” There was something in the way she looked at me that it felt like she wasn’t telling me. “Before we fought the wraiths, you told me, you wanted to tell me something.”

    AMELIA “I’ve sworn an oath to the people who trained me that I would bring the secrets to my grave. If it’s the only way to earn your trust, then so be it. I’ll pay for the consequences of my actions from now on.” “What are you talking about?” Kailin asked. “We’ll pay it together,” Ren backed her up. “Wait. Wait.” Theia raised her hand. “If this secret will put your lives in danger then no need. Our lives are already in danger, and I’m sure we can figure out how to find the bitch and the bastard just fine.” “It’s not their lives will be in danger, Theia. It’s ours,” Ryden told her which made her face ashen. “Because we’re close to them. We are the collaterals.” “Very well. We’ll find another way,” Zarah agreed. She finally calmed down. “There’s another way but he might ask something rare in return,” Ren told Zarah. “And you may not like it,” I added. “We don’t care as long as we can locate that bastard,” Theia said. “I agree. As long as he won’t ask for a barbecue unicorn.”

    AMELIA“Dane needs our help.” “Go. I’ll inform you when I get a reply. Let me know if you need help,” Zarah said. After we packed some weapons, Zarah sent us to the coordinates that Dane texted me. “I know he cares about my mate and Dane owes him a lot, but I swear, Victor is gonna get Dane killed,” Kailin said angrily. “We’ll have his back, Kailin.” I gripped her hand, trying to comfort her, but I could feel she was really worried about him.The coordinates sent us to the Mexico desert outside the US border. “Great. Now we’re going to be in great trouble against Mexican authority,” Theia reacted. “I’m more concerned about snakes and scorpions than the authority.” My forehead was instantly sweating. I grabbed my phone and sent Dane a message. “We should have packed sunscreen,” Theia was still complaining. “Are you sure we’re in the right place?” Kailin asked. “Let’s take cover.” Ryden pointed at the slightly elevated area.“Where? Behind the cactus? I don’t see anyone here,”

    RYDEN Those assholes Alec paid to kill the faceless guy and his men were humans. They fell for the money Alec offered, and they couldn’t tell a shit about the man they were meeting with. Amelia and Dane were beyond furious. Dane punctured every tire of the vehicle left working. “No. They go by foot to the borders,” Amelia grunted as she set the vehicles on fire. Then she went to the terrified men. “Next time, choose your employer wisely. Haven’t even occurred to all of you why did you get a job with suspicious big cash, Assholes?” “Wait. We can’t walk to the border.” The guy with a busted face riding the first car that went off the road raised his hand. “We’re gonna die of dehydration.” “Not my problem.” Amelia walked away. “You’re worried about dehydration than getting shredded by wild wolves?” Theia snorted.“Who are you people?” While this guy talked, the rest just sat there. “You don’t wanna know unless you tell us something,” I tried tricking them.

    AMELIA After what we’d been through together in a short time, something beautiful happened. I stared at him in awe, wearing the same face the first time he saw me in my wolf form and wolf fire. Now he had in him. He just became one of the four, and the most powerful alpha with that power. “Amelia!” everyone was yelling at me, except Ren. I felt like he already knew when I lost my wolf, that it would take over someone. “Ryden,” I called his name and looked him in the eye. He looked shocked and began to panic as his clothes burned down to ashes and he was completely naked before us, engulfed in fire. “Guys, can someone grab the extinguisher, please?” “You know it won’t work!” Theia yelled. I turned to her and pointed at the wooden floor. “It will work on the floor before this house gets toasted.” I’ll go take it,” Alessandro volunteered and stormed out of the office. “Ryden, if you don’t calm down, you’re gonna burn us all. Trust me. I’ve been in your situation, done that.” “W

    AMELIA “Alpha, stop it. You’re still healing.” Naughty Alpha was looking all cute as he started kissing me on the cheek first, licking my earlobe, then his hand moved to my abdomen, slipping it inside my shirt, tracing his fingers up, teasing my nipple from the bra. “I want you.” “No, you don’t.” I looked at him. His eyes darkened, his breathing was hot, and I could feel his growing erection pressed against my thigh. “Keep your dick under control until you’re fully healed or I will scream.” “I am. Trust me.” He kissed me on the nose. “I missed you. I miss being inside you.” “Really?” I pressed his wound, and he winced. “Right, you’re healed.” His hand was gone, and he chuckled, shaking his head. “Have patience there, buddy.” “Yes. Tell him that.” I faced him and kissed him on the lips. “When we go home, you can have me all you want. I will be yours all night.” He grinned at me. “Is that a promise?” “You know I won’t break it, Ryden. You can tie me to bed if you want.” He arc

    RYDEN “Amelia, stop!” I crawled back to bed. My ears hurt, and that was killing me more than my wound. Then I felt a warm liquid rolling down my upper lip. I wiped it off and realized it was blood. “You’re killing me, please? Ladybug, you have to stop.” The shrilling sound abruptly stopped. The shaking ended. Her body went back to normal. “Oh, Goddess. Baby.” Her eyes were wide as she finally back to herself. She cupped my face and wiped off the blood dripping from my nostrils. “I did do that? I’m so sorry.” “Unless I have that kind of power.” I was still staring at her. What kind of power she had was both frightening and remarkable. “What the hell is going on?” The door slammed open, and Zarah came, furious. She scanned the room and shook her head. “She did it again, didn’t she?” Ren followed Zarah inside, looking at my bloody nose. Theia and Nora were tailing him. “If you can’t get control over your emotions, Amelia, we have to confine you. You can kill any being just with you

    RYDEN “You knew all this time, and you didn’t warn us?” The way Victor averted his gaze and looked as ashamed and guilty as ever. He only proved to us that he knew all along, and what after all, powerful alphas there were out there that he called himself the Alpha King. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” Amelia was angrier than me. Despite losing her wolf, I could still feel her emotions, and my mark on her was still intact. “Whoever he is will come after every alpha who comes his way. Do you understand how deep the trouble you’re in? He will come after our allies, take control of the werewolf council, and take your position. But you don’t give a shit, do you? As long as you’re safe over there and sipping coffee and whiskey.” “Of course, I care.”I even rolled my eyes at his reply.“Cut the bullshit, Head Council. I know you’re scared, but we can protect you. Alpha Califf, Alpha Knight, and the rest of our allies can protect you, but you have to be honest with us.” “No, Amelia. N

    AMELIA “You lost your wolf to save my life. I’m so sorry you have to choose between me and her.” “I can live as a human, but I can’t live without you. You said you loved me, did you mean it?” I lifted my gaze to see his reaction. He still looked handsome despite almost dying and still in pain. “I love you with every beat of my heart. I love you till my last breath, Amelia. I don’t care if you’re human or a tiger or a mouse.” “A mouse? Really.” I sniffled. He tried to hold his laugh, and he grimaced instead. “You should take pain meds.” “No. The bullet that shot me was not an ordinary bullet, was it?” “Yes. Sebastien said, it could be a high-grade military prototype silver bullet, and it should explode inside your body, but it didn’t. It was either intentional or faulty. We don’t know. None of us has seen that kind of bullet before, even at the Werewolf Council.” “How are you feeling?” “Why are you asking me when I’m not the one that has gotten shot?” “So you’re still feisty

    RYDEN My eyes fluttered open. The first thing I saw was the white ceiling until everything came back to me like flashes of memories. I was in Hawaii and Amelia and I had a fight. Nora was talking me out of it. Then I got shot. I groaned as I tried to move. I was shirtless, a bandage on my upper left chest reminded me it indeed all happened. I should have been dead by now. How am I still alive? Then I heard a snore. I turned my head to my right. There she was. I didn’t even know she snored. I guess, that was first. “Amelia?” I tried to move to reach for her, but my wound was killing me. I might have lost a lot of blood, and I didn’t heal faster than my normal healing process. “Ladybug.” She gasped, jolting to sit on the chair. Her eyes grew big as she turned to me and saw me awake. “Alpha? Oh, Goddess!” She threw herself at me and hugged me tight. “Agh!” I groaned and hissed in pain as I tried to wrap one arm around her. “My wound.” “Shit. Sorry.” She slowly pulled away from me,

    AMELIA The surgery was successful. I didn’t even know Sebastien was a corpsman until today. He, Zarah, and Shadow just saved my mate, and I owed them a lot. Ryden was still critical. Since the bullet was silver, it slowed down his recovery. He could be dead, though, but what kind of message our enemy was trying to send to us, and who were the people behind this? What would they want from us?” I was still grateful despite everything. Watching Ryden in bed, breathing, and alive, was the greatest feeling in the world. I still felt the dread crawling in my skin of almost losing him. “How do we find Margaret? “That’s a problem for another day. And it’s not your problem anymore. It’s mine.” I turned and faced Zarah. “Do you think she’s working with Alec now? I mean, why would she? She’s your leader. What did Alec have against her?” “I don’t know, and I’m exhausted, kid. You should get some rest, too.” “Are you avoiding my questions?” I rose from the chair and looked at Ryden one mor

    AMELIA “Father!” I felt the surge of energy rush through me that siphoned from around that it shook the house down and exploded into an intense blast, shattering the glasses in the entire house, everything near me went flying including Theia. I could still feel the extreme pumping of my heart as the sound of splashing shattered glasses dropped on the floor. I heard Theia hit the wall and then she fell, groaning. “Amelia!” Ren came, his eyes could slice me into two at how pissed off he was. “Are you going to get us all killed?” I breathed deeply, trying to calm myself down, but it wasn’t working. I still felt the unconfined energy rolling and thundering through me. “Holy shit!” Theia was quicker on her feet and rushed in my direction. Ren stopped her, blocking her from getting close to me. “Stay there.” “Why?” Theia asked, but Ren was actually talking to me. “Amelia, stay right there.” It was not a statement but a warning. Sebastien came, still wearing the bloody gloves. “Wh

    AMELIA Ryden. My breathing caught as I mumbled his name. I felt him— he was in great pain. He was terrified of something. Something happened. I quickly put my clothes on, grabbed my things, and went outside the room. Nora’s scream poured adrenaline through me as I stormed out and followed her voice outside. “Ryden!” A shudder of dread and terror ran down my spine, and I sucked in a sharp breath as I looked down at my wounded mate. My world stopped. Tears streamed down my face. I stood still, then my body shook, and watched Ryden bleed out to death. “Amelia!” Someone shook me. “Get the fuck inside!” I watched Sebastien and his beta Alessandro carry Ryden back inside. “Now is not the right time for a nervous breakdown. Amelia, look at me.” Ren cupped my face, forcing me to meet him in the eye, and I did. “Ryden.” My chin trembled. My entire world faded as I met Ren’s terrified gaze through my blurry eyes. “Pull yourself together. The shooter is still out there.” “Yeah. He wi
