Priest (Aaron) pov
I still was unable to apprehend all the words I had just heard. That would explain why she knew nothing about the visions and how she as tormenting my life everyday.
“Why aren’t you telling her about all her incredible powers? Do you know how much power and control over so many people she would have gotten if she was aware of her powers?” I said to her wolf who chuckled again.
“I only released myself from the tight spell they had placed on me.”she said and just then Amelia walked right past me and I couldn’t help but keep looking at her. She was just a vessel carrying a powerful wolf which she is means to have a connection with but nothing of that sort is happening.
“Stop staring at her too much…and if you have a vision of her just let me know.” I heard Alpha damien whisper in my ear and I couldn’t help but tense up a bit…I never wanted him to even know I was spying on his wife, I looked away from her immediately and sat down.
The ceremony soon began and everyone was going back and fort and most of them were discussing ad soon luther stood up and walked to the middle of the room, getting everyone attention as they all applauded him without him saying anything and even with all the applauds his attention seem to be somewhere else and when I checked it was Amelia yet again but she didn’t seem to be looking at him but instead at Alpha Damien and it was clear that she didn’t like the fact that she was alert of this ball in honor of me.i just hope she doesn’t dread the news that I was dragged away earlier by the palace guards.
I tried my best to talk to Lena which was Amelia inner wolf but she didn’t respond as it seemed she would only speak to me when she has to but doesn’t respond to my callings.
I turned to look at her in hopes that her inner wolf would respond but nothing happened and I felt so frustrated…I needed to confirm if my visions had always been right, I’d really my powers were special as I had thought. But nothing seemed to be happening and Lena wasn’t answering me. I turned back to the crowd and just I heard her familiar and angelic voice making me smile.
“I kept calling you but you just got the chance to reply me I guess.”I said to her through our weird connection, I never even got the chance to think about that…we don’t know each other from anywhere yet we are able to connect just because we share the same power…is it because she was powerful because that was the only way to explain all the crazy things happening around us.
“I am still trying to regain all my powers and be able to communicate more with Amelia so that was what kept me busy.” She said and I smiled but just then the lights in the room went dim and everyone satarted dancing, like a joy I had never thought I would feel…I smiled in anticipation that I might end up dancing with Amelia as the special guest, but when I turned around all I saw was Amelia and Alpha Damien majestically stepping down from their royal seats and joint the dance and I was left to sit there in sadness as I hoped that she might just mysteriously come to me and ask for a dance..how happy I would be.
Just then, I saw a hand stretched to me and when I checked it was Lucy, when made me roll my eyes in annoyance but still placed a wide smile on my face.
“Huh?” I questioned like I didn’t just understand that she was asking me to join her in the dance.
“You are our honored guest so we should atleast give you the privilege to dance with the most priced possession of the king.” She said but I didn’t really care much about any of the things she had just said as all I wanted more than anything was to be with Amelia.
“I don’t really know how to dance and it’s also not really something I like.” I lied and while I uttered all those words I couldn’t stop looking at Amelia, even though Alpha Damien had warned me…I whole facial image kept flashing in my eyes and even though it hurted so much to look into her eyes, I couldn’t help but look even more into her eyes even if it would kill me…at this stage I couldn’t help myself.
“You should stop staring and come down maybe you might have a chance to dance with her.” Lucy added making me jerk up from my seat in shock.
“What do you mean? I didn’t even stare and why would you say that…” I said to her but she only chuckled innocently even though she was oozing nothing but wickedness, only the moon goddess knows what might happen to me if she begins to threaten me.
“You don’t have to lie to me, she is too mesmerizing and anyone would fall in love with her and that’s why this palace would continue to be in uproar and you might just be the solution.” Lucy said with a wide smile and I couldn’t help but wonder what was going through her mind.
“You are so cunning but yet I love that about you.” I said to her before standing up and taking her hand. We joined the rest dancers and all the people who went dancing were gossiping amoungst themselves while I danced around with Lucy and Amelia looked at me and I could feel the glare having so much of Lena than Amelia.
We continued the dance until I felt a soft touch on my shoulder and Amelia had switched with me.
“Hi.”she smiled taking my breath.
“Hi” she uttered again with a wide smile and j couldn’t help but smile widely, the pain suddenly begin to rush back into my vein and it hurted like hell.
I tried to hold it in but as we swayed back and forth the pain kept coming back and hurting me deep into my soul.
“I didn’t really get your name…but I think I saw you earlier.” She said to me and I couldn’t stop staring at her eyes, she also didn’t break the eye contact but just then she was swayed away by Alpha Damien who looked at me weirdly and Lucy was back to my arms with a smile.
“Did you enjoy it?” Lucy teased at me but I didn’t answer and just stared at Amelia as she danced around with Alpha Damien and in that moment something unexpected happened to me.
I got aroused, what was going on with my body I couldn’t apprehend but I knew it was taking a huge toll on me but still had no choice but to keep silent about it.
Lucy stared at me weirdly before smiling again, like she could see through me and I couldn’t help but look away shyly .
I just hope she won't be able to sense my erection which was all thanks to Amelia…jist then I heard a voice in my head and I knew immediately that it was Lena trying to talk to me.
“I think I would just go back to my seat and rest.” I said to Lucy and without waiting for her affirmation, I walked away from her and went back to my sit while she found another person to dance with.
“Lena.” I called through my inner world while hoping I could connect to her but nothing of that sort was happening and I frowned in disappointment while still watching Amelia dance around with Alpha Damian. I then looked away and my gaze went back to Luther who seemed a bit uncomfortable.
“Why is he so silent? When he owns the last of the night but still decides to hide in the dark like he doesn't love her too.” I muttered to myself and like he could feel someone eyes on him, he turned to look at me and our eyes met, none of us broke the eye contact but instead continue to stare at each other.
After Luther got tired of staring he looked away and grinned widely while I just sat there, I needed to stop thinking of Amelia but yet l couldn't stop myself from thinking about her.
I looked away and tried to stop myself but still I was still thinking!! Still thinking!!
I stood up from the chair and was about to walk away but I was stopped when the limelight was on me.
Alpha Damien smiled at me as he stretched his hand out to me and I knew he was about to give a short message about me to the crowd.
“My loyal friend, Aaron… I can't believe I found you at the right time and mostly when I needed a loyal friend.” he began and I knew I needed to join him on stage even though I wasn't even aware of the kind of lie he was about to plot against me.
“I am also more than happy to have finally seen you after our long years of being away from each other we were able to see each other too.” I lied and smiled widely but his face seems neutral.
“I know everyone is suprised to see him as most of you don't know Aaron bit he had been my best friend when my father was alive and I wasn't even the king yet and he soon vanished so I had no choice but to erase him from the history of my kingdom and Aaron I am really sorry about that.” he said and walked up time before hugging me tightly but then my gaze went back to Amelia who was behind him and had a wide smile on her face.
Somethng about her seemed a bit weird and I couldn't point out what exactly was wrong with her…but I could tell that she wasn't alright just by looking at her.
We soon pushed away from each other and even though we hated each other we couldn't stop acting like we liked each other and just like he had just said we were long lost friends which was totally wrong, we were not friends at all.
“I missed you so much my old friend!” Alpha Damien yelled out loud, and the while crowd began to applaud for us and I had no choice but to wave my hand at the whole crowd.
“Thank you so much everyone, I hope to be of great use to everyone in this palace as I would do my best in making sure Alpha Damian makes the void decision.” I said to the crowd and they all whispered….just the I recalled how the while arrangement and smiled.
Flashback…
So you now see that there would be a little changes if you join me, you know I won’t like to die and at the same time you won’t like to die so why don’t you let us change our fate’s together, let’s make changes and I promise you…you won’t even regret anything.” I couldn’t help but wonder what could be going through Alpha Damien mind…he was definitely plotting something but yet I wasn’t going to let this opportunity pass me by so easily.
“What do you have to give to me? I would tell you the future but that doesn’t matter to me if you won’t find another thing to give to me.” I said to him hoping he would listen to me.
“You want something else right?” He said to me and I smiled back before standing up straight .
“Yes I want power and I know you would give it to me.” I could remember saying to him bit now I wanted more than power at the his stage.
I sat in my room after all the ceremony, I could recall all the false messages me and Alpha damien had to exchange with each other just to make it believable.
I smiled not because I was finally going to acquire the kind of wealth I had never planned for but because I felt like Amelia had something for me. The way she acts and behave makes me think she wants more than she can bargain for.
“If only I had met her long before she was even sold to Alpha Damien, so many great things we would have conquered together.” I muttered to myself while her image continued to play in my head and I couldn’t help but smile, she was too beautiful to even be real.
I stood up from the bed and walked towards the window as all my gaze was at the hall were the party had occurred but no one was there so I looked down to the garden which was close to my window and was stunned to see Amelia and unable to believe I cleaned my eyes with blithe my hands to be sure I was seeing her for real or it was just another figment of my imagination, for it had not been up to a day since I saw her and I can’t stop thinking of her so many times in a day and even my memory was getting tired of thinking too much as even if I didn’t want to think about her I still couldn’t stop myself.
She was really standing there and was going through something’s on her phone as she had already changed out of the flowing gown she had worn to the ball and was now wearing a singlet hand dress that sticker perfectly to her body.
“You are so beautiful.” I muttered, it’s not like she could hear me or anything of that sort but I couldn’t stop myself from saying it.
Just then an unimaginative air began to blow on her hair and it flew in different directions as she first tried to hold it up but it was impossible and so she hissed in annoyance and I could sense she was cursing the breeze for disturbing her and making her unable to understand what she was doing. I smiled and continued to watch her as it seemed like I was so satisfied to watch her move around and say very pleasing words to my ear.
She dropped her phone on the table and stood up before using her hair band to pack her hair up and I couldn’t help but open my mouth in shock as she looked too good and smiled like she was having fun packing her hair and I was also having fun watching her.
She sat back and just as she is about to sit back down, just then the taps that grew the grasses around began to pour around her body as she screamed before standing up and rushing away but then she ran back in and I yelled anted to seize the opportunity and rush towards her when I saw luther enter the garden with her, I hide my face immediately and watched she and Luther to be sure if if truly something was going on between the two of them just as alpha damien said because even though I had so many visions I had never seen the two of them in any intimacy whatsoever.
From the looks of it, it seemed very much like Amelia wasn’t aware of Luther’s presence from the way she squirm around and her body kept getting wet, Luther stood still staring at Amelia and soon she turned around only to be shocked that Luther had been standing there waiting for her, she smiled but Luther didn’t smile back at her but instead had a frown on his face.
“Why did you turn back when you saw me coming?” Luther said to her which made me smile as I found it interesting, everything he said began to make perfect sense to me.
“I didn’t turn back and for your information I did not see you coming so please stop assuming things and making it seem like I am the one trying all my best to get in your way.” Amelia said with a fierce voice which made me chuckle.
“They seem to be drifting apart.” I muttered while watching them as even though I wanted to see them drift apart I couldn’t really tell if I wanted them talking as I felt jealous even though Amelia wasn’t mine to begin with and actually belonged to Luther.
“Stop sitting around alone.” Luther added abd that was all it took for me to understand that Luther wanted nothing more than to be close to Amelia but didn’t know how to go about it.
“Why do you care? It’s not like it changes anything whether I am safe or not.” She said and the the water slowly stopped pouring around and Amelia smiled in satisfaction as she took out her phone which she had been covering with her hand for a few minutes and began going through it.
Luther stepped forward and pulled Amelia up with force making her drop her phone in the grass and he did the unexpected! He kissed Amelia right in the lips…I couldn’t just hide there and watch them so I ran to my coat and wore it before rushing out and ran down the hall heading straight for the garden, even though I had no plan as to what to say I still rushed over there while in hopes that I would be able to stop them from getting any further close to each other.
I ran quickly and soon got to the front of the garden, making she I didn’t look like someone who as panicking I opened the door only to see the two of them sitting together and staring at me in surprise.
Amelia povIt was finally the final showdown,Amelia and Alpha Damien faced each other, their eyes locked in a fierce gaze. Alpha was flanked by Amelia on one side, and he looked confident that they could take me down.What they didn't know was that I had recently gained new powers, making me a formidable opponent. With a sudden burst of energy, I charged towards Alpha Damien, catching him off guard. Damian tried to intervene, but I was too quick for him. I used my powers to knock him back, then turned her attention towards Lucy. We both engaged in a fierce battle, each one of us determined to come out on top. Punches were thrown, kicks were aimed,Just when I thought I was finally winning the battle, that was when Alpha Damian took a quick trick on my father.And immediately just then the flashback of my vision came back, and I knew I had to stop it. This was what I was trying to avoid.Again, I wouldn't let it happen to my father; no matter what, he was the most important person. Ev
Amelia povI couldn’t understand why I was seeing my father in a vision I didn’t ask for…I looked at my father and felt so heartbroken.I couldn’t understand why he would be showing up in my dreams, I decided to consult from my inner wolf and she immediately explained to me why I had seen him and tells me it was my future, I immediately asked if I wcould change it for I didn’t want to watch my own father and the only person who was of great help to me, I had lost everyone who I believed in and he was all I have left, I wasn’t going to let him slip off so easily….it was my only chance to Show my father I really cared about.“I want to save him no matter what.” I said to my inner wolf and she immediately understood.I wanted to see if there was a way I could stop what was going to happen from happening, and without wasting any time, she took me there. I was now happy that me and my inner wolf were now one.My inner wolf wasted no time in taking me back to the future. Just when I was abo
Amelia pov“Are you trying to tell me that this was all the niceness you did? Everything was just an act.” I yelled at him.“What else do you want to tell me that will shock me that you knew he was my father, too?” I said to Luther, who began to step back,“Look, Amelia, when my father locked me up. he said a lot of things to me, and part of it, since he said to me, was that you had gone missing, and he knew you were going to escape, and I was to bring you back or else I would never become the king of the throne, and you know that he means everything.”Luther SaidI could not believe everything he was saying to me. Was this true? Could I even trust Luther, the only man I thought I could trust all my life? It seemed like I had just been duped again by a man.If what my father said was right, he did not just look like alpha Damien but also carried the exact copy of his father. I couldn't even imagine in my head that he would want to betray me and take me back to my father.Just when I wa
Amelia povI became a bit scared as I wondered what my father's words would be. Then he moved closer to me;“he cannot be your mate. What sort of thing is the moon Goddess trying to do with me? Why would she turn everything around when I was never at fault? I lost Ashina through his father, and now she binds you two together. I would never agree to that,” he said to me, and I could feel my world crashing into pieces. I could not believe he was saying this.I thought he would support me despite everything, but from the look of it, he wasn't supporting me at all, so instead, I decided to do him wrong.“Luther is not a bad person, you are the one seeing him as a bad person, but he is the best person. He is the one who has been supporting me all this while, and honestly, do you want to hear his groundbreaking news?” I told my father and then turned to Luther because I knew the news I was about to give would shatter both of them, and even Luther had no idea of it.I knew I was being unfair
Amelia povMy father still seemed puzzled, but I understood what I wanted, and even my inner wolf also understood what I meant, which I thought My inner wolf did until she asked again. Was I sure about what I wanted to unleash?“Your power will take a lot of strength from you, and at the same time, many people will know that the priestess who was meant to have been dead is alive. Do you want that to happen? Do you want them to start searching for you again? You knew what your mother had to pass through. She had to risk even your real identity from your father just because she wanted to keep you safe with her power, and I have used all the strength in me to keep it sealed all these years. Even when you got to talk to me, I still didn't show it to you, even though I needed to give it to you badly,” my inner wolf said, but I did not care; I had already decided. Just when I was about to make my final decision, the door to the throne room was opened, and the last person I wanted to see wal
Amelia povAlpha Damien had rejected his actual mate, and that was when the Moon Goddess had to ruin everything by telling my father that his mate was none other than Ashina. That was where all the war and problems were.I couldn't say this was not what Alpha Damian had said to me; this wasn't what he had told me, and this was what he told me later. He had lied to both of us and had manipulated us into doing all these things.Also, he had kept something this huge from us. My father continued his story by telling me about how Alpha Damien never let Ashina rest, as he could also feel that Ashina was not an ordinary person because she could do things another werewolf like her could not do. So one of the days, Alpha Damien came to meet my father and asked if he knew anything about Ashina.Still, my father couldn't say anything for he was also in love with Ashina and wanted to keep her for himself, even though he was the first to find her. My father kept the secret about Ashina's power awa
