Luther's pov.
I looked around in shock as my name was announced,I turned to Alpha Damien who was sitted close to Amelia and staring at me with contentment.
"Luther can't take on this responsibility all by himself" Lucy snapped.
"Someone else will join him" alpha Damien replied her.
She smiled immensely and took a bite from her food "Susan will join him in this" alpha Damien added,Lucy face turned pale instantly.
Immediately he called my name to take over the palace. In his absence I knew something was wrong somewhere.
"Why me?" I said and everyone turned to face me.
With shocked expressions and murmurs feeling the room I didn't know what to say or do I just sat quietly watching everyone.
"You will have to Luther" Alpha Damien replied,his voice firm.
"But I do not want to," I replied with an angry tone.
I walked out angrily and went straight to my room, turning deaf ears to Alpha Damien's calls as I exited the dining room.
"Why does he want me to take over?" I thought.
After the heated arguments we've been having for the past few days,I just knew I needed to talk him into changing his mind.
We finished dinner and I quickly followed him to explain why I'm not fit to take over things in the palace.
I want to focus on only one thing and that was Amelia.
He knows about all this, that is why he wants to keep me so busy with palace activities.
I walked back to my room as random thoughts filled my head.
I locked the door behind me and went straight to my bed.
Noone mattered more to me at this point in my life than Amelia.
Something is obviously wrong with her,she seems to be scared of something lately and I am one hundred percent sure that alpha Damien has everything to do with her sudden change of attitude.
Just then I heard a knock on the door,"Come in!" I said.
Two guards walked in and bowed their heads in respect.
"Alpha Damien wants to see you Sir Luther" one of the guards said.
"Go,I'll be there shortly" I replied.
I know Alpha Damien is not one to take no as an answer.
I walked straight to his room,his door was open, obviously he was expecting my arrival.
His arms crossed behind his back as he stared at the garden through his room window.
"You sent for me," I said, trying to be as calm as possible.
He turned slowly, staring at me from top to bottom,his hands still crossed behind his back.
"What was the meaning of that you displayed in the dining room?" He asked, his face red with anger.
"I wasn't being rude or anything,I simply gave you an answer" I replied.
"No is not an answer and you know that" Alpha Damien said.
"You don't get to decide what I'll do because I have spare time,I am not Amelia" I shouted.
"Why do you find peace in bringing Amelia into every little discussion we have together,leave her out of this!" Alpha Damien commanded.
"You will be in charge of the palace while I'm away for my trip" Alpha Damien said,his tone brooking no arguments.
"I thought you'd jump at the opportunity of being pack leader while I'm away but rather you refused my offer in front of everyone in the rudest way possible". Alpha Damien said,his voice stern.
"You will lead the pack alongside Susan while I'm away" alpha Damien commanded.
I wanted to shout but there's no point dragging the issue further,I simply nodded affirmatively and left his room.
I was so pissed and I terribly needed to get some bad energy off my system so I went to the training ground at the far end of the palace.
I got to the training center and headed straight for the gym.
I went into arm work out immediately, going up and down on the equipment standing tall above my head.
My mind drifted back to Amelia and how she has been acting lately and why she is so calm to me all of a sudden.
On a normal basis,she wouldn't hug me or let me get anywhere close to her.
"Probably she has started having feelings for me too,I see the way she gets lost staring at my eyes" I thought as I went in for the weights.
I could feel the sweat drip from my back.
It was so hot,the workout made everything so hot,I took off my shirt and continued the workout, not minding the heat pouring through my face.
I left the weight and wore the boxing gloves lying on the corner then stood in front of the big pinata.
I looked at it for a good number of minutes, imagining it was Alpha Damien.
I started punching it ruthlessly,I cursed it as though I was talking to Alpha Damien.
I hit it trying to let all my anger out,then I hugged it as a tear poured down my cheeks.
"Why does he have to be so mean to everyone?" I asked, staring at the pinata.
Amelia deserves better and I am "better" I needed to make her see it and believe it.
For all I know,she cares about me a whole lot,but she's finding it very difficult to trust me or anyone for that matter.
I totally understand how she feels towards me but she can't keep sucking it all in just to please this ruthless Alpha Damien.
I know he's responsible for her bruised arm and I will surely make him pay.
I needed a plan,a plan that'll give room for me and Amelia to confess how we truly feel about each other while dealing with alpha Damien how I see fit.
I walked up to the leg pressing and started using it,my mind racing.
"Ahhhhgg!" I screamed as my leg got caught between it.
I cried out in agony, writhing in pain,soon after some guards came to my rescue and I was rushed to the hospital.
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
