AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden didn’t stick around after that. I didn’t know how he found out about Blake but I didn’t want to say anything because I was worried that he would hurt him. My silence however may have done more harm than good because Kaden did not speak to me after that.He walked out of the room even though I tried to speak to him and according to Clara; he walked out of the house without looking back. He had not been back to see me and it had been three days. I tried to ask Caleb about him but Caleb would only give me simple answers and not offer anything else. Clara told me that Kaden had probably told him not to say anything to me.I couldn’t help but feel bad especially because my wolf would not stop reminding me that I had hurt our mate with my actions. I used to think that getting a wolf would be fun but in reality it was like having an alternate persona in your mind who never left you alone. She pestered me day and night and I actually wanted to apologize to Kaden but I was

KADEN’S P.O.VIt felt like years since the last time I spoke to Amelia. Every single time I spoke to Caleb, it took all my strength to stop me from asking him about her. It felt like a physical pain whenever I drove past the house without walking in. I did it more times than I would have cared to admit because even though I could not see her, I wanted to be around her.I had hoped that maybe she would have felt bad about what happened and come to find me but she didn’t and it frustrated me. It felt like I was the only one feeling the pull between our bond and she didn’t even care. I was losing my mind from not being around her and every single time I had seen her, she looked happy.I had documented her training progress by watching her sometimes through the woods. It wasn’t on my usual jogging route but I had decided to start taking the longer route so that I could get a glimpse of her. She had gotten better in training which made me proud and she seemed to be getting along with Ronal

AMELIA’S P.O.VI had been dreading my meeting with Kaden in the pack house because I was unsure of how to act around him. Things had changed now and he wasn’t just my Alpha anymore- he was my mate. I wondered if it would change anything or if things would stay the same and I also didn’t know how I was going to be able to sit across him for an hour while feeling the mate bond surging between us.At the end of school, Clara offered to drive me but I turned her down. It was something I needed to do by myself so I could weigh my pros and cons alone as well as prepare myself for the inevitable surge of emotions that would surface from seeing him. Although, when I got to the pack office, I began to wish I had asked Clara to come with me because there was a gnawing feeling at the centre of my chest.It took me almost five minutes to get out of the car because I couldn’t help but feel like something bad was happening or going to happen. It was a constant ache in my chest that I tried to rub o

LUCY’S P.O.VI went to my car with a wide smile on my face. The force of my grin threatened to split my face in two but I couldn’t bring myself to care. The more I thought about what happened with Kaden and I, the wider my grin grew. When I kissed him, I didn’t expect him to reciprocate. Kaden had been insistent on pushing me away and it didn’t matter how hard I tried, my efforts always fell to naught, until today. His mother always told me to be patient because I would succeed and I didn’t believe her- until today. I couldn’t wait to tell her everything.He kissed me back and I could still feel his hardness between my thighs and the thought of it had me flushing pink. I always knew that Kaden was huge but I didn’t know he was that big. It was like a dream come true but there was something wrong.I didn’t feel anything.He had a physical reaction to me but there was no emotion. It felt like kissing a robot- a hot robot- but a robot nonetheless. It felt dragged and like he had no inter

KADEN’S P.O.VI waited with bated breath for her to push me away. Her lips were as soft and pillowy as always and I could have gotten lost in them. I savored the taste like it was my last because I knew she would push me away. When she lifted her arms, I was prepared to feel them but to my shock, she placed them tentatively on my shoulders as if she was unsure of whether she should pull me closer or push me away.I didn’t want to give her the chance to over think. I grabbed her waist and pulled her flush against me. Her hands wrapped around my collar as a gasp left her lips and I used the opportunity to slip my tongue into her mouth. She kissed me back albeit slowly as if she were still indecisive. I poured everything I had into the kiss. I wanted her to know how I felt about her and that I was sorry for what happened with Lucy. I had never been good with my words so I showed her with the kiss.She seemed to understand because her hand trailed up from my collar to my neck. She was sti

AMELIA’S P.O.VClara was waiting for me in the living room when I arrived. She didn’t say a thing but she was perceptive as ever and she watched me with raised brows. I knew without a doubt that she had some suspicions about what happened. I trusted her and I needed her advice so without saying a word, I grabbed her by the arm and pulled her into my room.She allowed me drag her and once we were in the privacy of my room, I locked the door behind us. I gestured for her to take a seat next to me on the bed and she did without hesitation. It took me a minute to find my words and within that minute, she did not speak or push me. She waited quietly for me to gather my bearings and it only endeared her to me further.“I kissed Kaden,” I said finally and she just raised her brows in amusement. “He was kissing Lucy when I walked in then he was kissing me. I don’t know what’s happening. I don’t understand what is going on. Everything is too fast. He’s may mate and I feel the attraction toward

AMELIA’S P.O.VI was anticipating Friday but when it came, I got so nervous that I feared I would throw up. I had been on a few dates before with Blake but something about Kaden made this feel different. Maybe it was because he was my mate or because he was Alpha, maybe it was both but I was freaking out.Kaden did not appear at training and when I asked about him, Caleb simply said he was handling some pack work. He offered to give me Kaden’s number but I promptly refused. He was the Alpha, there was no reason why someone like me should have his number. Caleb insisted that Kaden wouldn’t mind but I was not willing to take that risk.I had classes to take my mind off things but I didn’t want to go. I had successfully avoided Aiden the rest of the week but I knew that he was only biding his time. I rushed out of class before anyone else and if I saw him coming down the hallway, I turned the other way. There was only so much I could do before he caught up to me and I knew it. Serena tri

AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden led me towards the blanket and helped me sit down slowly. He opened the first basket and the aroma of pastries filled my nose. I hadn’t eaten anything since morning and I was grateful for it because my mouth watered at the sight of the things in the basket. I could see pies and sandwiches and cake slices.The other basket had all sorts of drinks. There was a fruit smoothie as well as some tea and sweets. I smiled widely as I thought of all the effort he must have taken to do this.“Did you make these?” I asked and he scoffed.“I am a good cook but a terrible baker,” he whispered as if it were a secret. “I had to enlist help from a friend who makes the best pastries in the pack. Maybe one day I can take you to her shop.”“I would like that very much.”I thought we were going to eat in silence but Kaden was determined that we do the exact opposite. While we ate, we spoke about anything and everything. He asked a few questions about my childhood and I tried to answer

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
