KADEN’S P.O.VAfter my mate ran away from me, the first thing I did was go back to my house. For some reason, my wolf was acting like a bitch in heat during puberty and was day dreaming of all the ways we could take our mate.I couldn’t get the image of her soft and luscious curves out of my head and as soon as I got into my house, I stripped off my clothes and went in to take a cold shower. It helped a little and I was able to get the boner down and get a grip on my emotions long enough to think about something other than fucking my mate.By the time I got out of the shower, I decided to look for something decent to wear. My wolf whined about wanting to make a decent first impression on her since we scared her off the first time and I ended up choosing a tailored black suit with a navy blue tie. I knew it was over the top but my wolf was overjoyed by my choice and I could feel his glee and desire.“You need to calm down,” I warned him, “I don’t care if you’re in heat but you cannot b
AMELIA’S P.O.V Fear ran through me like a live wire and I was worried that he could hear my heart beating out of my chest. I was scared that because of how fast it was beating, it would break through my chest and splatter on the floor in front of us. That would be a messy sight but it would be better than the palpable fear. He was tall, I would say he is at least a foot taller than me. I barely came up to the middle of the chest and he wasn’t just tall, he was huge. He looked like he worked out daily and he was well built. I was terrified of him and even though the nice girl from earlier-Clara- had told me that he wouldn’t hurt me, I couldn’t bring myself to believe her. I trust her but nothing about this Alpha seems calm and forgiving. The suit he was wearing gave off the vibe of regal and terrifying and I couldn’t help but wonder what he was going to do to me. Maybe he would punish me for stumbling across his territory and running away from him or maybe he will just banish me from
KADEN’S P.O.VIt was a simple touch, just the grabbing of her shoulders and yet my dick was as hard as granite. I mentally cursed my wolf for acting like a teenager going through puberty for the first time and I rushed to take a seat behind the table hoping she wouldn’t notice. I doubt she did because I’m sure she would have gone screaming for the hills if she knew how just an innocent touch got me hard.I tried my best to relax myself during the conversation but it was like each word out of her lips was an aphrodisiac. I will admit that I spent more time staring at her lips than actually listening to the conversation but that is the fault of my wolf and not actually my fault.When she started to apologize, I felt a foreign pain in my chest as my wolf all but screamed at me to comfort her. If it was left to him, he would have pulled her into his arms to calm her down but I had to remind him that she was terrified of us and if I were to try that, she would probably pass out from fright
AMELIA’S P.O.VI am almost embarrassed at how quickly I rushed out of the room when Clara arrived. She was still barefooted and she smiled softly at me as she shut the door behind her. As we walked through the office walls, I took my time to really admire the expensive interior of the place. Clara led me to her car and as soon as the doors were shut and I was sure we were far away from Kaden and his super Alpha hearing that I know every Alpha possesses, I turned to Clara.“Kaden was nicer than I thought he would be,” I admitted and she turned to me with an amused smile. “I thought he would be upset for disrespecting him at the lake earlier but he told me it was fine.” “I knew there was nothing to worry about,” Clara said softly. “Kaden can be scary sometimes but he is a fair leader. You did absolutely nothing wrong.”“I was just expecting to be punished,” I mumbled. “Also, I’m sorry to be such an inconvenience. I know you’re taking on a lot by having me stay with you.”
KADEN’S P.O.VClara had been giving me updates on Amelia’s progress at the house. She texted me when she took a bath and when she ate dinner. My skin itched to see her and to find out how she was doing. The texts weren’t enough for me and I wanted to see her for myself and see how she was doing. When Clara told me that she was asleep, I instantly got into my car and drove to their house.I knew what I was doing felt crazy but I needed to see her. It was already difficult for me to know that she wouldn’t be living under my roof but I needed to see her to make sure that she was fine. Their house is a twenty minute drive from the pack office but I got there in under ten. I probably broke every single speed limit and road safety rule known but I couldn’t bring myself to care.I knocked on the door and it took a few minutes before someone pulled it open. My skin itched with anticipation as the door finally swung open. Clara stood there in a robe with wet hair but I couldn’t be bothered to
AMELIA’S P.O.VI woke up feeling better and more rested than I have in a very long time. I freshened up in the bathroom and I exited the room to find Clara standing in my room. She led me to her room and to her wide closet so I could pick an outfit for myself. I teared up at the fact that she gave me a choice which is something I haven’t had in a very long time.I chose a simple blue floral dress that flowed to my mid thighs. It had thick straps tied into bows and although it was a bit free on my body, it still showed off the curve of my hips especially because the torso had a corset like look and really cinched my waist in.“This dress looks better on you than it ever has on me,” Clara mused as she took me in. “You look absolutely beautiful.”My cheeks warmed at the comment and I found it hard to look her in the eye. The only person who had ever called me beautiful was Blake and I always thought he was lying but to hear someone else say it brought a warm feeling into my chest and a s
AMELIA’S P.O.VClara drove me to the front of a really large building. It had glass walls but I couldn’t see the inside and she explained to me that they were one way mirrors. There was a scary looking guard in front of the doors screening people who went in and my skin prickled at the thought of having to even speak to him.During the drive, she had explained the basic breakdown of the things I would have to do. She said I would have to meet a woman at the desk who would just ask for my details and issue me a new identity card. She would have to ask some invasive questions about my family but for my safety and comfort, they had called her in advance so I could have the interview in a quiet place without people eavesdropping.“Unfortunately, I can’t go in with you,” Clara said and I shot her a wide eyed look.What does she mean? I’m not sure if I can do this by myself. The very thought of stepping out of this car is terrifying. I know I am safe but I can’t help but feel like everyone
KADEN’S P.O.VI was so annoyed at the fact that I had been called away from Amelia. It grated on my nerves because I had spent all of last night thinking of a way that I could spend more time with her without raising suspicions and I had finally found one.I don’t know the name of the woman who was interviewing Amelia but I made a mental note to give her a bonus for putting up with my outrageous demands. She knows there is no physical test and I have never gone into that office to check on their work before. The only reason I was there was because of Amelia. The woman looked so confused and she looked like she had stepped out into an alternate universe but she still played along.For a second I thought she wouldn’t understand and would slip up but she remained professional throughout and Amelia will never know that all of that is just so I can spend time with her.I got to my office and pushed open the door only to see that it was already occupied. My mother was seated on the couch so
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
AMELIA’S P.O.VI was done hiding.If Blake was willing to leave his pack despite not having his wolf then he was a greater foe than I knew and I couldn’t just sit on my ass and wait for him to attack whenever he felt like. He wasn’t backing down anytime soon, I knew that much. I saw the look in his eyes yesterday and I knew what it was. It was a look of pure determination. I knew that it wasn’t about what I wanted anymore or about what he presumed to be a mate bond, this was about an Alpha whose ego was just bruised.I embarrassed him and made him look weak and he wanted me back to show that he wasn’t. I was the shiny trophy that he wanted to keep in a display and I’d be damned if I let him do that to me. He couldn’t control my life- not anymore at least.For the first time since I returned, I woke up earlier than Kaden and made my way down to the kitchen to make breakfast. It felt so good to be back in my own house, barefoot in my kitchen and able to do whatever I wanted.I had bare
KADEN’S P.O.VBlake was a fucking coward.For someone who was brave enough to keep my mate for days, he ran off like a fucking wuss when he realized that he didn’t have his wolf to fight for him.I made sure to comb the entire border to ensure that he was not lurking around. The last thing I wanted was for someone else to go missing. It was torturous enough searching for Amelia, I wasn’t sure I had it in me to search for someone else.As soon as I was sure that Blake wasn’t hiding anymore, I rushed over to Amelia. Her mind was quiet which wasn’t unusual. Ever since she returned, she preferred to stay on her own with her thoughts. I hated it but I knew it would take some time before she went back to the way she was- if she ever did. If she never went back, I didn’t care, I just wanted her.The moment I got to the car, I knew something was wrong. Caleb was standing next to the car but his brows were furrowed in deep thought. He looked somewhat relieved when he saw me but when I asked, h
AMELIA’S P.O.VI didn’t realize just how badly my legs were shaking until I got to the car. I had barely reached it when my legs gave out and I had to grip it so as not to hit the ground.“Shit, are you okay?” Caleb was at my side in an instant but he hesitated to touch me. “Do you need me to call Kaden?”I shook my head. “I’m fine, I swear, I just- I didn’t know how scary it would be to see him after everything.”Caleb assessed me warily but said nothing. I slowly sank to the ground not having the energy in me to open the car. Besides, the grass was much softer and it was fresh, the wind was blowing and I could feel the breeze on my face. I didn’t feel caged anymore and I needed to remember that.“Do you want some water?” he asked and I nodded.I watched as he reached into the backseat of the car and retrieved a water bottled. It smelled like him so it was obviously his but I couldn’t bring myself to be picky. I just uncapped it and downed the water. My heart was pounding violently i
AMELIA’S P.O.VWe sat in the tub until our skin started to prune. True to his words, Kaden didn’t say a word as we got out of the tub. He didn’t even speak as we ate lunch or dinner. I thought he had forgotten and a part of me was relieved because I knew that whatever he wanted to say had to do with Blake.My relief lasted until sometime around ten when there was a frantic knock on our door. I glanced at Kaden who looked to be as confused as I felt. He gestured for me to remain seated while he went to check it out but he should have known better because as soon as he was out the door, I was behind him.“Amelia,” he hissed but I waved him off.I was dressed in lounge pants and a loose shirt. I was prepared for whatever it could be. He muttered something under his breath that sounded similar to ‘goddess help me’.“Stay here,” he told me once I got to the bottom of the steps. I pursed my lips but I was close enough to see the door so I waited.He pulled the door open and I could feel th
