2023-08-28 16:19:52BLAKE’S P.O.V
Intense pain and guilt filled me as I forced myself to leave that room. I had zero plans of leaving her unattended but I knew that the wisest decision was to give her space. She would fall asleep soon enough considering how drowsy and sleepy she looked while she was speaking to me.
I waited the better part of seven minutes before I pulled the door open and sure enough, she had fallen asleep again.
I slowly made my way over to her and stroked her cheek softly. I have never had the privilege of seeing Amelia sleep. She is always awake and always running around and doing something that she always looked so stressed but in her sleep, she looked like she was at peace.
As I stroked her face, I couldn’t help but think about how we first met. She was grocery shopping and I was there with some friends of mine. We were being stupid and racing our grocery carts and I hit her with mine. Her bags tore and everything spilled and I will never forget the way she started apologizing to me and simultaneously crying over the groceries.
I had seen her around school before because I knew Brittany and I offered to buy her groceries back on the condition that she went on a date with me. She was stunned of course and she asked me if it was a prank and if it was then I could just lie to my friends instead of actually embarrassing her.
Something about her pulled me in that day and as I got to know her, I fell head over heels in love with her. She was the smartest, kindest and most beautiful person I knew and it hurt like a bitch to reject her on that balcony but I had to do it.
Before I started walking around with the cool kids, I was an adopted kid and everyone knew it. I was thin and lanky and all the kids would pick on me. It took years of masterful planning to get to where I am now and the thought- the idea of having all that power at my fingertips. No one will ever be able to hurt or bully me again.
I love Amelia but I need to have that level of support behind me and Brittany can give it to me. It is no secret that she is the favorite daughter. If she asks her father for the moon, he will string it on a leash and bring it to her. If she asks for every star in the sky, he will not hesitate before giving it to her.
If I mate with her then I am secured for life and that is something that my love for Amelia cannot guarantee me.
I looked down at her sleeping features and pressed a small kiss to her forehead. She stirred a little but she did not rouse and I hoped that she would understand and one day come to forgive me for what I had done to her today.
I knew my actions would make her life worse than it already was with the bullies but I figured that if I got the Alpha position then I could at least help ease the pain a little for her.
I stared at her for a minute longer before I realized that it was time to say my goodbyes. I reluctantly left the room to inform her father that she was now resting and I would be leaving but he wasn’t in the living room.
I made my way towards Brittany’s room hoping to see her there but she was not their either. I decided to roam the corridors as a last minute attempt to find them when I heard voices coming from a door.
I peeked in and saw Brittany and her father standing in the room. They were facing the other end so they couldn’t see me and I wanted to announce my presence but something stopped me from doing so.
“You did a good thing today Brittany,” I heard him say as he gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze, “I would have never been able to come up with it myself; you are brilliant.”
“Thank you father,” I saw her preen at the compliment, “Blake is an attractive man and I wanted him so I thought why not get him? Amelia was simply an afterthought.”
“Did you slip her the pills today?” her father asked and my interest was piqued.
“I couldn’t father; she made breakfast and she didn’t leave the table once, there was no chance for me to slip it in.”
“That was irresponsible of you Brittany,” I had never seen or heard him scold her like he did, “Don’t you realize that you could have cost us everything today? She could have shifted from the amount of emotion she was in. If I hadn’t seen what was going on and shot her with a dart then she would have.”
I was instantly confused. I thought back to the balcony and how Amelia was writhing in pain on the floor. Looking back I realize that her posture and her moans of pain did remind me of when I was shifting for the first time and if that is true then why would they want to stop her and why would her father have hit her with a dart to prevent her from shifting?
If anything, they should be excited that she was finally about to shift. Her inability to shift has been the cause of contention in the pack for a while and it has cast some doubts on their family.
“I’m sorry father,” Brittany’s voice brought me back to the conversation. “I just thought it wouldn’t matter because we have given it to her every day for years. I figured that one day would not make a difference.”
“You know the truth Brittany, and you know how powerful it is,” he chided, “There is a reason we give her that poison every day and you were about to ruin it in the span of a few minutes.”
I had to slap my hand over my mouth to stop the gasp that escaped me when I heard the word poison. Thankfully, the duo didn’t hear me because Brittany still had her head cast down and her father was staring at her with a disapproving look.
How could they even think of poisoning their family so she wouldn’t shift? I knew that there were so bad blood lost between all of them but I had no idea that it ran this deep. I had no idea that they would do something as despicable as this to their family.
Amelia is the nicest, kindest person that I know. Everything that she does, she does with her family in mind and it would kill her to know that they have been doing this to her for years. I can only imagine the hurt and the heartbreak that she would experience hearing this. It has already been a terrible day for her.
I didn’t want to hear any more so I quietly slipped away and made my way towards Amelia’s room. I had to warn her about it. Even though I knew it would break her heart, I knew that she deserved to know that she was in danger. I just hated that I was going to have to be the one to break her heart two times in a day.

AMELIA’S P.O.VI woke up with a pounding headache. I looked down and realized that I was still in my dress from the party and that was when the memories slammed into me at full force. I forced back the tears that had gathered in my eyes and cursed when a stray one fell and I had to wipe it away.I am used to having horrible birthdays. One time, my father forgot me at home and took Brittany out for ice cream and cupcakes. When he returned and saw me, he dismissed me without apologizing and I cried for a week after that.This birthday however trumps all the bad memories and the bad birthdays. I knew Brittany didn’t like me so much but I would never have imagined that she would do something like this and take my boyfriend from me. And Blake- I thought he loved me and I was so sure that he would fight for me.Thinking about him brought another fresh wave of tears and even though I tried to fight them, they still fell. I was wiping away my tears when my door opened in a rush and Blake cree

CALEB’S P.O.V When I woke up this morning, the last thing I expected to happen was to be ambushed by my sister. Clara has always been a little special, growing up she would speak to the animals and she claimed they would respond back. My father always thought she was crazy but we soon realized that she did have a gift. She was a seer and sometimes the birds would whisper things to her. Sometimes they were good things and sometimes they were warnings that something bad was about to happen. Regardless of whatever it was, we all learned to take Clara seriously. I knocked on Kaden’s door and I didn’t wait for him to respond before I entered because I knew he wouldn’t. I am the only person who willingly comes in here. Every other person is too scared or is dragged in here for punishment. The rumors about Kaden started a while ago and they have done nothing but spread. Before all that, Kaden was my friend and that is all I will see him as. I don’t know whether or not he actually killed h

KADEN’S P.O.VAfter Caleb left my office, I was thankful for the blissful silence. I ran my hand through my hair in barely contained frustration as I stared at the stack of papers in front of me. The worst part of my job is the paperwork and if I had my way, I would delegate the job to someone else but I don’t trust anyone to take care of my pack the way I would.I was trying to figure out the budget allotment for the next few months when my phone rang. I glanced at the screen and felt the frustration build inside of me as I saw my mother’s name flash across the screen.I had half a mind to ignore her but I knew she would only keep calling so I picked up the phone and put it on speaker.“Hello mother,” I tried to keep the frustration out of my voice, “To what do I owe the pleasure?” “You have a date in an hour.”That’s my mother- she never wastes her time with pleasantries or greetings. She just goes straight to the point and makes whatever demands she has of you. More like she

AMELIA’S P.O.VAs I drove, all I could think about or even feel was the pain from the betrayal my family had just dealt to me. I tried to push the thoughts out of my head but it swarmed my every thought and pore. It still felt unbelievable to think that Brittany and Blake could have done that to me.I knew leaving the pack was a hasty decision and I should have thought about it more but in that moment when father offered it to me; I just wanted to get away from them and everything that had happened. A new pack seemed like the perfect break and exactly what I needed. It would give me enough time to heal from the betrayal before going back home.As I thought about my family, I couldn’t help but think about the warning that Blake had given me. I still don’t know why he warned me or what he was trying to warn me about. He just said I wasn’t safe and I wonder what he meant by that. Was that his own way of saying that he still cared about me? Or was that his own twisted way of looking after

As I followed it I couldn’t help but think about how my life had taken such a drastic turn. A few hours ago, I was getting ready for my birthday and now I am following a bird through the trees. I found myself laughing despite the dire situation because of how pathetic it sounded. All of this is simply because my own sister decided to steal my boyfriend.The bird flew directly ahead of me and I tried my best to follow it while avoiding the trees to the best of my ability. I knew that by the time I was done with this journey, the car would be beat up and in desperate need of repairs but somehow I couldn’t bring myself to bother about that.I was trying to avoid a tree so I swerved to the right and into one of the wolves. I didn’t see him in time and I knew I wouldn’t be able to maneuver around him. He prepared to jump onto the car and I knew he would do it successfully but then the weirdest thing happened.Some birds flew down from the trees and simultaneously started to poop on the wol

KADEN’S P.O.VIt took almost half an hour for my wolf and I to agree on where we wanted to go. He wanted to hunt and I knew that mother would guess that in an instant. I have always hunted when I am frustrated and she knows that. I wanted to go home but I knew that she would probably be waiting for me there so it was out of the options.After a while, my wolf reminded me of a certain lake with a waterfall in the woods and I realized that it was a great idea. I’m surprised that more people don’t know about it but then again, it is too hidden for most people to find. I found it when I was a child and it was my solace for years, I haven’t shared this spot with anyone yet so mother would never think to find me there.I put my phone on silent and left it in my office so I wouldn’t be tempted to pick up her calls. If anything important comes up and people cannot find me, they will relay everything to Caleb who will mind link me if he thinks it is very important.Without informing anyone, I

GREGORY’S P.O.VI cannot remember the name of the she wolf in front of me but one thing I do know is that she knows how to take a dick. I frequented her a lot because she did things just as I liked; she didn’t touch me, she stayed silent and she allowed me use her like my own personal rag doll.I had her face pressed into my office table as I slammed into her from behind. The only sounds coming from her were grunts and moans as I spilled into the condom. I pulled out of her and went to dispose of it. The last thing I need is one of these she wolves getting pregnant and demanding to keep the child; the clean up would be messy.I had righted my trousers in the bathroom and returned to the office when I saw her still naked and in an instant I was hard again. She grabbed her clothes and made to leave but I stopped her gestured for her to kneel in between my legs on the floor.She obliged in an instant and without having to say a word to her, she took me out of my trousers and began to suc

AMELIA’S P.O.VI heard laughter- it was loud and carefree, the kind that you made when you were around friends and you didn’t need to hold back. It was the kind that warmed you from the insides and I knew I had to find the source of it. I looked up to see father and Brittany. At first I doubted that the sound came from any of them but Brittany’s mouth fell open and the same carefree laughter filled the air.I looked around trying to see if I could recognize my surroundings but I couldn’t. From what I could see, we were in an open field. There were tall fruit trees all around us but mainly it was an open space of grass with a small water fountain at the edge almost completely hidden by some trees.I was on one end of the clearing, leaning against a tree with a book right next to me while father and Brittany were on the other end. He was holding a baseball bat and she was pitching balls at him for him to hit. She was horrible at pitching and sometimes she threw them too low or too high

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
