I carefully made my way back to the balcony and hid behind a pillar so she wouldn’t see me. She had her hand on his shoulder and I could see him thinking about her offer.
“All you have to do is reject her,” she repeated, “And you will have the position of the future Alpha.”
FLASHBACK
The day started like any other. I woke up long before the sun had even thought to rise and I started doing my usual chores. It is an unspoken rule that once the members of the house wake up by 7 a.m. the house has to be perfectly cleaned and breakfast has to be ready.
It took me three months to come up with the perfect time to rise in order to get everything done. I wake up by 3 a.m. and spend the next two hours cleaning the entire house from top to bottom. I also have to be quiet because if my father wakes up then I will be in for a lot of punishment. By the time I am done with the chores, I start breakfast which usually takes around two hours as well.
As always, I was finishing it up when my father walked down the stairs. I instantly rushed to his side with his daily steaming cup of black coffee. He took it from me with a dismissive nod and I quickly assembled his breakfast plate- eggs, bacon and sausages.
I placed them next to him and he didn’t even lift his head from his newspaper to acknowledge my presence. I refused to allow the pain show on my face as I swallowed down my hurt. It is my birthday and he couldn’t even be bothered to say a happy birthday to me.
“Good morning father,” His response was a deep grunt and a hand waving me off. “Did you rest well?”
“Do you not have any work to do Amelia?” his tone was an obvious dismissal.
I didn’t allow the pain phase me as I knew my sister would be up soon so I quickly made her special green juice that she drinks every morning.
I had poured it into her glass when she gracefully came down the stairs. My sister- Brittany- and I are twins although she is older by a few minutes. We look nothing alike though; I have very curly brown hair that is a nightmare to tame and hazel eyes while she has long blond hair and icy blue eyes. She is also tall and slender while I am shorter and have more curves. I have been told I look like our mother who died a few years back but she is a splitting image of our father.
As soon as father saw her, he pulled her into a warm hug and kissed her forehead then wished her happy birthday. He told her how proud of her he was and a stray tear slipped down my lips. I don’t know why he never treats me like her- we are twins after all. What does she have that I don’t?
“There you are,” he held her at arm’s length so he could see her, “How is the birthday girl?”
“I am so excited daddy,” she squealed, “And I cannot wait for the party tonight. Thank you so much for throwing it for me.”
“Anything for my darling,” he kissed her forehead again then he saw me watching them, “Are you going to stand there or will you bring in our breakfast?”
I muttered a small apology and hurried to hand her breakfast tray to her. As usual, she didn’t say thank you, she just took it out of my hands and delved into a conversation with father. Once again, I ignored the pain and clutched my own plate tight to my chest as I felt like an intruder in their special moment.
It has been like this for as long as I remember. And a part of me is tired of wishing that thing could be different.
When they were done eating, they left their dishes on the table and went to get ready for the day. I was still cleaning up when they left the house, leaving me in complete and utter silence.
As soon as I was sure that they were gone, I snuck out of the house into the woods that had taken over at the back. It was quiet and I was sure that no one would bother me there.
I followed the marked out path that I had become familiar with over the years. I can navigate this path blindfolded and in my sleep because of how many times I had gone through it, especially in the past few weeks.
I got to a small cave. It wasn’t big enough to draw attention to it but it was big enough that I could go in and practice without being disturbed. A few feet into the cave lay a few books I had taken from father’s library without him noticing a small blanket for when the days got colder.
I sat cross legged on the floor and imagined all the different types of wolves I had seen. I imagined my father’s which was large and black with dark brown eyes. It towered over me easily in my human form and for a very long time it terrified me.
I imagined my sisters which was smaller in size. It was a dirty brown color and in her wolf form, she had the same icy blue eyes as she did in her human form. Her wolf was graceful and petite and I smiled as I thought back to a memory of her running.
I let the feeling of completeness wash over me and I willed my own wolf to come to the surface but nothing happened. I tried harder, even tried picturing what my own wolf would look like. Would it be dirty brown like Brittany’s or black like my father’s? Maybe it would even be a different color, sandy blond or even a deep brown. I didn’t care what color it was, I just wanted it.
I don’t know how long I sat there willing, wishing and praying for my wolf to come to the surface but it never did. As the seconds ticked by I got more and more frustrated. I thought I felt hair o my skin and I opened my eyes in excitement, glad I had made a little effort but the excitement dissipated when I realized it was a stray feather.
I let out a barely contained scream and buried my head into my hands. Angry, hot tears burned beneath my eyelids and for a moment I wondered if I would ever get my wolf. For a moment, I wondered if it was even worth it at all.
But then I remembered why I was doing it all in the first place- Blake. Blake and I have been together for a while and I know that the only way for us to stay together is for me to get my wolf and then we can be properly mated.
He was the reason I started this four months ago and I am not giving up now. I wiped the tears from my face and gathered myself to my feet. I can always try again later.
I stepped out of the cave and was shocked by how dark it was. I ran as fast as I could to the house and looked at the huge grandfather clock that stood in the living room and cursed; Blake will be here to pick me up any minute from now.
I took a very quick bath and changed into the prettiest dress I own. It is an old dress I have had for a while, father said he couldn’t spare any money for a new dress for the party but that doesn’t matter because as long as I am with Blake, I am happy.
I snuck into Brittany’s room and applied a little bit of her makeup to make me look pretty and I tied my hair up into a high ponytail and waited at the bottom of the stairs for Blake to knock. I glanced at the clock and saw that he was running a bit late but I figured there must have been an emergency.
What else could it have been?
EPILOGUEAMELIA’S P.O.V“Baby,” Kaden whispered, his voice soft as his stubble grazed my cheek. He placed soft kisses over my face and shoulders trying to rouse me awake but I wouldn’t move.I mumbled a few incoherent words, nuzzling closer to him and the warmth that emanated from his body. He laughed, the sound husky and timber as his arms wrapped around me.“You need to get up,” he told me, his lips brushing over my shoulders. “You asked me to wake you.”“Give me five more minutes, please. I’m exhausted.”He sighed, not fighting me on it because he knew just how exhausted I was. After the incident with Blake, I was confined to the bed for the rest of my pregnancy. It was a miracle that I didn’t lose the baby, and an even bigger miracle when we found out that we were having twins.The pregnancy was rough and there was a problem at every turn. Our babies came a few weeks early and the labor was so bad that I swore I would never do it again. We’d been parents for two years and even th
AMELIA’S P.O.VI recognized Blake instantly and swallowed.“You don’t have to do this,” I began slowly and he snorted.“Don’t I? Amelia, you don’t know how much trouble you’re in.”He grabbed my arm harshly and turned me to face him, the sharp edge of his knife now digging into my stomach. Fear gripped me but I forced it down into the pits of my stomach. I wasn’t sure if he knew about the baby yet, and I wasn’t going to give him one more edge over me.I took him in. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days. His eyes were red rimmed, there were massive bags under them, and he looked unhinged. His hands were stained with blood, and my wolf screamed at me to get away from him.“You played me like a fiddle,” he spat in my face. “You used my feelings for you against me.”“You took me from my mate, Blake. What did you expect? I didn’t want it to get to this. It doesn’t have to be this way. You can go back, I’ll blame it all on Aiden, I swear. Can’t we just live.”He pressed the knife harder i
AMELIA’S P.O.VHis words struck something inside of me. Over the next few days, all I could do was thinking about his words. He told me that he would find a witch if that was what I truly wanted, but I could tell his heart wasn’t into it, and I was glad for that because I also needed time to think.“I need to go to the office today,” Kaden began slowly as he stood in the doorway to the room.I hadn’t brought myself to ask him to return to bed and he didn’t push. Every night, he slept outside the door, never once complaining or making me feel like I was being a bother to him. I wanted him back with me, I wanted this whole thing over and done with but I couldn’t do that, not until I found a solution. I didn’t want the same problems plaguing us over and over again.“I’ll just stay here.”“Do you want me to send for Clara to join you? I can have-”“I just want to be here alone, I need to think.”He pursed his lips, clearly not pleased with my choice but nodded. I watched him stand in the
CHAPTER 206AMELIA’S P.O.VI didn’t let Kaden sleep in our room. It killed me to do it, I couldn’t even fall asleep but I forced myself to stick to my decision. I had to stand on business and stick to my decisions.By morning, I was exhausted and a tad bit frustrated. I stepped out of the room to get myself a drink of water but I was in for a surprise when I opened the door because to my shock, there Kaden lay. He sat on the floor in front of the door, his knees up to his chest.He didn’t look he had slept a wink and as soon as he saw me, he stilled. He opened his mouth to speak but no words would come out. After what felt like a long minute, he turned away from me, his cheeks tinged pink.“Did you sleep here?” I asked and he shrugged. “I didn’t do a lot of sleeping.”“You sat out here all night, why?”“Because, I couldn’t be away from you. You said you were dependent on me to sleep but the truth is that I am too. I wouldn’t have been able to sleep without you, I didn’t see a reason
KADEN’S P.O.VAs soon as Caleb drove off with Amelia, I felt someone slap me upside the head.There were only a handful of people who would dare to do that- my mother, Amelia and Pamela- I didn’t need to turn around to know who it was.“You idiot,” Pamela hissed. “What were you thinking? She told you to stop multiple times and you kept going. Did you not hear when she said she would hate you?”I did hear her actually, I just convinced myself that she was upset and it would be fine after. I didn’t realize that she meant it or I would have stopped. It was a shitty excuse and I knew it made me a fucking terrible mate as well.“I know I messed up,” I ran my hands through my hair in frustration. “I’ll make it up to her.”Pamela scoffed. “You stupid child, this is more than just making it up to her. After everything she went through, you were meant to be her safe place and you hurt her. This isn’t just about you outing her in public, you betrayed her trust. She has no one right now.”“That’
AMELIA’S P.O.VI walked out of the dining room and out the front door.I knew I was being a tad bit unreasonable but it pissed me off to no end that he couldn’t just trust me. I didn’t want to have that conversation in front of everyone, I didn’t want that part of my life out there. We were having a child together for goddess sake and yet, he couldn’t just listen to me.“Amelia!” Kaden’s voice echoed through the air as he rushed over to me. “Baby, please, just wait.”I ignored him and heads straight for my car. My guards were nowhere to be seen. They must have left after Kaden arrived. It didn’t matter to me anyway, I could drive. It was a terrifying thought to go home alone but I was going to do it. I wasn’t going to sit back and give him the satisfaction.I got to the door of my car when he placed a hand on the car door. “Please, Amelia, let me just talk to you, please.”“I have nothing to say to you,” I crossed my arms over my chest without looking at him. “Just go, okay? I don’t w
AMELIA’S P.O.VClara didn’t say a single word regarding my conversation with Aaron. I could tell she was thinking about it though. She was many things but stupid was not one of it. She knew exactly what that conversation was about and I expected more questions from her but there was nothing.“Do you want to come in?” was the first thing she asked when we got to her house. “My grandparents are home but that’s about it. They’ve missed you. They might want to say hi.”I didn’t want to take the offer but I also realized how cruel it was that I hadn’t come to see them yet. They took me in when they didn’t have to and treated me like their own grandchild. Before I could talk myself out of it, I nodded and followed her up to the front door.My palms were clammy and it felt like my chest was closing in on me but I forced myself to walk into the house. It smelled the same and looked the same, nothing had changed since the last time I was inside. It almost felt like I had never left.“Clara are
AMELIA’S P.O.VClara and I sat down on the wooden chairs while Aaron remained at the edge of the bed. He looked better than the last time I saw him, much better actually.“You haven’t used your powers in a while,” he didn’t waste any time before going straight to the point. “Both of you, not just you, Amelia.”I shrugged. “My wolf was drugged for weeks and I just haven’t had a reason to recently.”“You will soon.”It sounded more like an ominous warning than anything and I wanted to ask more about what he meant but he had already turned away from me and was facing Clara. She had her hands folded neatly in her laps and her face was cast down.“I just didn’t want to,” she shrugged. It was clear she was very uncomfortable with the direction of the conversation.She already told me why so she didn’t need to tell him, especially if she didn’t want to. Besides, I was concerned with how he knew that we hadn’t used our powers in a while. We didn’t talk about it outside his door so there was n
AMELIA’S P.O.VI regretted my words the moment I saw the three guards that Kaden had arranged for me.He had a smile of pride on his face once they arrived and I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. They were quite possibly the biggest and scariest men I had ever seen in my life. One of them had tattoos all over his arm, the other had a mean resting face that could make a grown man piss his pants. The third didn’t look as scary as the others but his sheer size alone was enough to make a person pause.“These are your guards,” he gestured to the men in front of me. “They’ll take you to Clara’s house first and you can go wherever you want after.”I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at him blankly. “Are you serious?”“You said as many as I want. I wanted to get you four guards but I figured it would be too much.”“And you don’t think three is a little over the top?”“It’s this or nothing, baby.”I let out an exasperated sigh before turning to the guards. “Fine.”Neither of them broke
