last update Last Updated: 2023-08-31 17:57:50

AMELIA’S P.O.V

The bomb that Clara dropped played in my head the entire ride. Those boys would be with me at every second of every day. There would be no Clara to save me then so I would need to be able to defend myself. The truth is that I’m not sure if I can do it. I am sure they have been training since they were children and I have never even stepped onto a training mat in my entire life. Would it really matter how long or how hard I train? They would always be able to beat me.

“You’ll be fine,” Clara assured me and that was when I realized that I was talking out loud. I flushed pink and she gave me a small smile. “Don’t worry about it, are you ready?”

“Ready for what?” I asked and she laughed softly.

“To get your car of course.”

I looked up and realized that we were in front of a large auto repair shop. I didn’t realize it was an auto repair shop because of how prim and proper it looks. The building had cream walls and glass windows that prevented me from looking inside. W

    KADEN’S P.O.VMy irritation was growing with each passing second. I was irritated that I had to go on that godsforsaken date with that girl. She was about as interesting to watch as drying cement. She could barely even hold a simple conversation and she kept trying to throw herself at me. I wanted nothing more than to get up and walk right out of that restaurant but I knew mother would never let me hear the end of it.I spent the entire time thinking about Amelia and her scent and how soft her hair felt beneath my fingers. I thought about how peaceful she looked while sleeping and all the things I wanted to do to her. That was the only way I was able to get through that nightmare. I thought about her so much that for a split second when I was leaving the restaurant, I could have sworn that I actually smelled her scent but I knew it was impossible because I looked around and I couldn’t see her.I felt a pressure at the back of my mind meaning someone wanted to mind link me and I put my

    AMELIA’S P.O.VTime seemed to fly by and my days got even busier. Clara took me to a store where I was able to get some things for school. The closer I got to school, the more terrifying the idea of it became. Kaden hadn’t called me for the test yet so I was yet to train and I was scared of meeting those boys but the general excitement of going to school managed to water down my fear.It took me hours of sitting in bed and squealing into my pillow before I managed to fall asleep and regardless of that, I woke up every other hour hoping that it would finally be morning. By the time I saw 6 a.m. on the clock, I practically leaped out of bed and rushed into the bathroom.By 7, I was dressed in simple jeans and a cute top with a sweater over it and I paired it with sneakers and tied my hair into a low ponytail. I didn’t want to dress too much so I wouldn’t draw attention to myself but I also wanted to look good and I think I managed to get the exact look I was going for.I waited patientl

    AMELIA’S P.O.VMy steps faltered and I wanted to run away and pretend like this just didn’t happen. I looked over at her hoping that her figure would change before my eyes but even as she smiled, I recognized her as the same girl. I was about to leave when Aiden looked up at me. He pulled out a chair for me and I had no other choice but to take a seat beside both of them.I noticed that the girl was also looking at me with a weird and analytic expression. Her eyes were piercing and I wanted to shrink under the gaze but I forced my shoulders to stay squared and I gave her a soft smile which she returned quickly.“Amelia this is Lucy,” Aiden said and I waved at her. She didn’t wave back but all she did was give me a curt nod of acknowledgment which I took to be better than no response at all. “It’s really nice to meet you,” I said to her and she smiled at me- even her smile was beautiful and I had to stop myself from comparing myself to her.“Lucy is also new like you,” Aiden t

    AMELIA’S P.O.VThe entire school stopped to stare at Kaden and I am assuming that it isn’t a normal thing for him to appear on school premises to pick someone up. I felt my cheeks heat up as his eyes found mine and he started moving over towards me. I could hear whispers from people all around wondering who he came for and a flash of movement to his side had my smile falling.Lucy had the smuggest expression on her face as she made her way over to him. She walked like the ground was her personal runway and I couldn’t help the feeling of envy as she proudly made her way over to Kaden. The whispers increased and got louder as she got to his side but to my surprise, he practically ignored her. The truth is, I don’t even think he saw her because his eyes were fixated on me.Her steps ceased as he walked right past her and I saw her mouth fall open as an ugly expression took over her features. I heard people snicker at her and I felt bad for her because people were outright pointing at her

    AMELIA’S P.O.VIt was only a few minutes that I spent waiting for Kaden to return but it felt like hours. I sat in one of the chairs and waited anxiously for him to return. I couldn’t help but wonder what was being said in my absence. I wondered whether he would defend me to Lucy or whether he would take her side and call me a wolf less member. I heard those words every single day at my old pack but hearing it now felt like an even bigger insult.This was supposed to be my new and fresh start but it was like my past kept following me no matter how much I tried to avoid it. It was like no matter where I went, all people noticed first was that I was wolf less. I couldn’t help but wish I had a wolf like everyone else then maybe those words wouldn’t have hurt.All my life I had asked the question, why didn’t I have a wolf? Was I cursed? Was I as useless as they all thought I was? Why couldn’t I just be like the others? I didn’t know if it was jealousy or envy but that emotion was roaring

    AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden stood in front of me like an imposing statue. My hands were still in his and I could feel the weight of his stare like an ever watching hawk. The intensity of his gaze was enough to make even grown men squirm. He stared like he knew all your secrets and he could see through your skin and bones into the deepest parts of your heart and soul and like he could see even the things you struggled to hide.I tried not to squirm in my seat but it was difficult especially because I couldn’t bring myself to look up at him. I could feel him boring a hole into me and I knew he wanted me to look up but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. His gaze and his hands holding mine was leading my entire being into an overdrive and I didn’t understand why that was happening.Suddenly, I felt his grip loosen and I used that moment to pull my hands into my lap. I could still feel the pressure from his hold and somehow as I pulled my hands closer to myself, I felt cold. I almost missed the he

    KADEN’S P.O.VI have never once been more grateful for the fact that Amelia is nervous around me than I have been today. Usually I hate her nervousness and I want her to be free around me but if she was then she would have noticed how many times I slipped up today. From the moment I picked her up at school, it was a battle not to haul her into her arms. When Lucy arrived and messed everything up, I was so frustrated and angry.I was furious at my mother for setting things up with Lucy and I was even more furious that Lucy was now living at my house and there was nothing I could do about it. My anger at Lucy couldn’t stay at the surface for long because Amelia was like a magnet. She was my kryptonite and she managed to drag my attention no matter how far in my thoughts I was buried. Her silence was loud and her words were even louder.No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t help but be pulled and sucked into her world and axis. Speaking to her reminded me of being a teenager again and t

    AMELIA’S P.O.VI was having the most blissful dream about being in an ethereal garden with a beautiful horizon and water as bright as crystals. I don’t remember exactly what I was doing but then I started to hear Clara’s voice. At first I was so confused and I looked around hoping to see her but she was nowhere to be seen. All of a sudden, I woke up and the remnants of my dream were washed away by the awareness of reality.I looked around for Clara thinking she was in my room but my room was empty and my door was still shut. I began to think that I had imagined her voice in my dream when suddenly I heard her voice as clear as day in my head.“Wake up,” she said over and over again and I was confused for a few seconds.I thought I was imagining it all when suddenly yesterday’s events settled in my brain and I remembered that Kaden added me to the mind link. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that I wasn’t actually going crazy.“I’m awake,” I responded in my heads I wiped the re

    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
