BLAKE’S P.O.VFor a second, I was floored. She was kissing me. I had dreamed about it for so long but I realized that my imagination was a lot different from reality. She was soft and her lips were as soft as pillows. I tangled my hands into the back of her head and kissed her deeply. It felt like everything was suddenly right with the world.She smelled like heaven if I ignored the scent of Kaden that seemed to linger due to the mark on her neck. I was going to get rid of that as soon as possible. I needed to make her mine in every way that mattered. I needed to sink my teeth into her neck and have her carry my mark for all to see but until then, I could settle for kissing her.My hands trailed over her skin. I needed to remind myself that she was here, she was real and she was in front of me. I wanted us closer and I needed to pull her into me but loud ringing cut through the air effectively snapping me out of my trance. It pissed me off to no end that a call always came in at the w

KADEN’S P.O.VAmelia wasn’t here. I wasn’t sure if I was more pissed off or relieved by that.Just because she wasn’t here didn’t mean she wasn’t with Blake though. He seemed too much at ease for someone who was obsessed with Amelia. I wasn’t going to find her here, that much was clear. I had to return to my pack and search for Amelia from a safe enough distance. While I was here, Blake wasn’t going to mess up, I knew that better than I knew my own name.As soon as the sun was up, I gathered the guards I had brought and we were set to leave. Blake looked pleased even though he tried to hide it. He made a show of walking us to the car and Brittany was by his side but she wouldn’t even look at me. It was almost as if she wanted to make herself look smaller.“Maybe next time you can tell me before you come to visit,” Blake said snapping me out of my thoughts. “I have a feeling it will be a better visit then.”“I have no intentions of returning here unless it is to take my mate,” I told h

KADEN’S P.O.VI was so lost in the pain that I didn’t even realize when Caleb had led me into the house. One minute, I was standing outside trying to come to terms with what my wolf had just told me and the next minute, I was inside on my couch. The pain had slowly ebbed away into a vague memory but if I closed my eyes, I could almost feel it.It was the worst thing I had ever experienced and not just because it meant that Amelia was with another man. I trusted Amelia, I knew her better than I knew myself and I knew for a fact that she wouldn’t touch another man. She loved me far too much to do so. She had every chance to do that when I was with Natasha, but she didn’t. If she was with a man then it was against her will.“I need to find her,” I said to Caleb and he nodded.I started to rise but my strength hadn’t returned yet. My wolf had gone into hiding after the pain and with him had gone majority of my strength. He took the brunt of the pain but he wouldn’t talk about it and I cou

AMELIA’S P.O.VI didn’t recognize the man that Blake had asked to watch me. I didn’t even know his name, but the one thing I did know for certain was that he didn’t like Blake, not at all. As soon as Blake had left, he muttered a few choice words under his breath and said something about helping Blake get to where he is now and being treated like a slave.I filed that away for future use and mainly stayed out of his way. He seemed like a temperamental person and it didn’t help that he was twirling a knife around in his hands like he was going to throw it at someone at any time. I knew that I didn’t want to be there when he finally decided to throw it so I stayed in the room.I managed to avoid him for the rest of the evening. I ignored the hunger and my stomach growling every few seconds until the early hours of the morning. I wasn’t sure what time it was because the sky was still dark but I managed to tiptoe out of the bedroom and into the kitchen. Blake had told me that the cupboard

KADEN’S P.O.VI felt like I was going in the opposite direction but mum was certain that this was what we needed to focus on. I just wanted to find Amelia, I couldn’t be bothered about whatever fucked up reason he took her but that didn’t stop me from going through every single thing I had heard about Blake so far.On paper, I knew that he wanted her because he was in love with her, or he believed himself to be but mum said it wasn’t enough. She claimed there was something else I was missing and that I would know what it was whenever I found it.We had maybe two days until it became public knowledge that Amelia was missing and I needed to do everything possible to make sure I was close to finding her before then. I couldn’t handle a panic around the pack as well as trying to find my mate at the same time.“I don’t know what the hell I am meant to be looking for,” I groaned turning to my mother who was standing directly in front of me. She was on the phone but after my outburst, she qu

KADEN’S P.O.VIt took a minute for his words to settle. At first, I thought that I had misheard but when I realized that he wasn’t smiling, I knew that he was serious.“What do you mean by the entire pack knows? How do they know?”“What did you expect when you had people combing the woods looking for her? You were also gone without warning and she hasn’t shown up at school or the pack office. Some guards let it slip that she was missing. Some think she ran away from you.”I rolled my eyes and started to walk away when he continued.“You don’t have to be so combative you know, I am just here to help.”“I don’t need your help,” I made to slam the door but he stuck his foot out to stop me. “Leave, Aiden, I neither need nor want you here.”“Amelia was my friend, you know,” he rolled his eyes. “I don’t care if you want me here or not. I am here to help you. I want her back just as much as you do.”I narrowed my eyes at my cousin. He was many things but helpful was not one of them. Aiden on

AMELIA’S P.O.VBlake hadn’t touched me again since that day but I couldn’t shake the guilt that I felt. I knew why I had done it but that didn’t seem like enough of a justification to me. I had kissed another man, I had let him kiss my skin and even though an entire day had passed and I had scrubbed my skin so hard it turned red, I still felt very dirty.Blake had been whistling around the house since yesterday. I could tell that he was happy with himself. I was starting to wear him down and he was starting to believe that I truly loved him but I still hadn’t won him over enough to make him believe that he could let me out. I hadn’t asked yet and I wasn’t going to so I didn’t rouse much suspicion.“Aren’t you hungry?” he asked snapping me out of my thoughts. He was sitting on the table next to me. “You haven’t even touched your food. If you want something else-”“No, this is fine,” I stared down at the plate of pasta. It was good, I just didn’t have much of an appetite. I forced a for

CHAPTER 168AMELIA’S P.O.VBlake sat beside me. He claimed it was because he loved my company but I knew it was because he wanted to make sure I didn’t write anything that gave away our location. He didn’t fully trust me yet and I couldn’t blame him but I was a lot smarter than he gave me credit for and I had a plan. I just hoped that Kaden would be able to understand everything that I had written.“Can you read it out?” I asked Blake. “I want to make sure that it is direct enough and that he understands everything.”“Of course,” he took the paper from my outstretched hand and opened it up.Kaden,I heard that you were looking for me. You always had a funny way of trying to prove that you are the hero.Life has a funny way of giving you what you want and what I want is Blake.One day, I hope you understand and I hope you learn to forgive me. I left of my own accord. I asked Blake to come get me.Very often, I would find myself dreaming about Blake, about our love and what could have be

CHAPTER 195AMELIA’S P.O.VFor a moment, Kaden just stood there staring at me and I wondered if I had pushed him too far. Perhaps it was never about me being ready, maybe he wasn’t ready to be with me after everything that happened.I felt so incredibly stupid and attempted to turn away from him when he grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. I didn’t want to but we were like magnets, always drawn to each other and I couldn’t stop myself from staring straight into his eyes.“I’m only going to say this once so get this straight,” he began slowly. “I don’t ever want to see that fucking look on your face again. The only reason I said nothing is because I was thinking of how much of a bastard I would be if I fucked you right here instead of taking you up into a room.”I cracked a smile. “I don’t think I can make it upstairs.”“Me neither.”The words were barely out of his mouth before he kissed me again. I felt something akin to relief in the center of my chest. It felt good to be a

AMELIA’S P.O.VIt had been two days since Aiden came to visit and Kaden had not spoken about him. We acted as if it were a fever dream that was locked away in the far parts of our minds.I knew that Aiden wouldn’t give up anytime soon and I knew that one day, I needed to tell Kaden about what had happened but I couldn’t even figure out how to bring it up. It was unsettling and uncomfortable but I didn’t have solid proof that he meant for anything malicious to happen.“You’re thinking hard,” Kaden’s voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I turned to find him standing at the doorway to the kitchenIt was his presence that reminded me of what I was doing and I cursed as I pulled the oven open. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw that my cake hadn’t burnt but if I had left it for a few more minutes, I wouldn’t have been able to say that at all.I rushed to get it out and put it on a cooling rack all the while I could see Kaden trying to hide a smile out of the corner of his eye.I was

AMELIA’S P.O.V“Hi,” I managed out as I made my way over to them and their conversation instantly ceased. I could see that Serena was itching to touch me but they both held back for my sake. “I’m not going to shatter just because you hug me.”That was all Serena needed before she rushed to her feet and threw her arms around my shoulders. She didn’t cry like the last time but I could feel her relief as she held me. I wasn’t sure how long that lasted but as soon as she pulled away, Clara’s arms were around me.“I’m so sorry,” she whispered and I could almost taste the guilt that was radiating off her.“It wasn’t your fault,” I assured her. “We were ambushed, we were sidetracked. Thar had nothing to do with you. I need you to know that.”“You were gone, for so long.”“But I’m back now,” I pulled away and grasped her shoulders. “All that matters is that I’m back now.”She gave me a small nod. I knew it would take more than that to deal with the guilt that she felt but it was a good start

AMELIA’S P.O.VIt was exactly one week since I had been back and I was yet to leave the house.Kaden had been patient with me, not forcing me to go anywhere until I was ready or making me do anything I didn’t want to but even I knew that life had to move on. I couldn’t just sit in here forever and pretend like things were fine and the constant state of boredom was driving me mad.We were having breakfast when I spoke. “I want to go out.”Kaden stopped eating, his eyes finding mine and I could see the worry in them as he slowly ran his eyes over me. He was more protective over me than usual and I didn’t blame him, especially not after what happened. If I wanted to go anywhere, especially now, I knew that there would be crazy rules to come with it.“Where do you want to go?”I shrugged. I hadn’t really thought that far. All I knew was that I didn’t want to be within the four walls of the house anymore. I wanted to talk to my friends, I wanted to be normal, I wanted to see people without

KADEN’S P.O.VWhat Amelia needed whether she realized it or not were her friends.Just those few minutes with Serena had brightened her day more than I thought was possible. It hurt that they could do more for her than I could but I didn’t care as long as it meant that she was fine, that was all that mattered to me.After the interaction with Serena, Amelia declared that she wanted to go home. I didn’t protest, didn’t even make any other suggestions, we just got into the car and drove. She didn’t hide from me when we returned which was a plus in my books, she simply sat on the couch, laying her head on my shoulder in silence.I wasn’t sure how long we stayed there but it could have been ten hours and I wouldn’t have minded. She seemed so peaceful, more than she had since she got back and I loved that for her.“I hate the silence,” she whispered and I turned to her. “When I was there with him, it was always quiet. I couldn’t go anywhere, couldn’t do anything, it was just the two of us

AMELIA’S P.O.VI didn’t want to leave the house the next morning but when Kaden told me that it was to say goodbye to Jackson, I forced myself out.Going to the pack house was terrifying and the entire time, it felt like someone was breathing down my neck and the worst was yet to come. Kaden was a firm pillar by my side the entire time, he never once took his hand out of mine and he never strayed from my side. I knew that I was safe with him but that didn’t mean I still wasn’t a little scared.“You look like shit,” Jackson drawled as soon as he saw me.Kaden stiffened, not liking his tone but waiting to see my reaction. I was silent for a second before a small smile pulled at the corner of my lips. I wrapped my arms around his center clearly catching him off guard.For a moment, he didn’t move and then, ever so slowly, he wrapped his arms around me and squeezed softly.“I would say you look like shit but you actually look better,” I whispered as I pulled back.He had clearly taken a s

AMELIA’S P.O.VI knew I was hurting him by not letting him in but I couldn’t.How could he help when even I didn’t know how to help myself? I was home and that should have been the most important thing but I still found myself terrified. In my nightmare, I was back in Blake’s little hideaway house. I was back with him and my baby was gone.How could I tell Kaden that knowing fully well that he was going to lose his mind and panic? I didn’t want him stressed- didn’t need him stressed right now. One of us needed a clear head and it was obvious that person wasn’t going to be me.“Amelia, baby, please look at me,” Kaden’s voice was soft and coaxing as he wiped my tears off my cheeks. “Please.”I wasn’t sure if it was the please or the sound of pure defeat in his voice that had me slowly opening my eyes. He gave me a small smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes and I couldn’t help it, I leaned up to kiss him. It wasn’t a deep kiss of unbridled passion, it was soft, almost explorative, just

KADEN’S P.O.VI couldn’t bring myself to fall asleep.Amelia claimed to be fine but I knew her better than I knew myself. I knew every bit of her, every smile, every freckle, every curve of her skin, I knew her emotions better than I knew my own sometimes and I knew for a fact that despite her saying otherwise, she was far from fine.I could see it in the way she hardly ever met my eyes, in the hesitation in her voice and in her determination to avoid speaking about whatever she might have faced in that place. I knew the guilt that she felt, sometimes when she let her wall down by accident, I could feel it like a bitter poison at the back of my throat threatening to choke me.It didn’t matter how many times I told her that I was fine with what happened, she couldn’t forgive herself and if she couldn’t, there was no way she was going to move past it. I wasn’t a fan of the idea of her being with Blake sexually but she did what she had to in order to survive and as much as I hated it, I

AMELIA’S P.O.VI was discharged before the end of the day.Kaden clearly didn’t agree with my choice but I doubted he could bring himself to refuse me. I knew I was being a little irrational and illogical but I couldn’t bear to be anywhere else. I wanted to be surrounded by people I knew and by my home, I wanted to be surrounded by him.He carried me into the car despite knowing I could walk and for once, I didn’t protest. Clara and Caleb were nowhere to be seen by the time we were leaving, I presumed they were giving us our space and for that, I was grateful. I loved my friends but today was not that day.As we drove past the turn to the house, I turned to Kaden. “Where are we going?”“Our home.”“But it’s that way,” I pointed towards the turn that we had missed. “Kaden, where are you taking me?”“That was my house, I’m taking you to ours.”I didn’t realize what he was talking about until he pulled up in front of a familiar building. The last time I saw it, he was still trying to per
