AMELIA’S P.O.VAs soon as Kaden left the house, I jumped out of bed and got dressed. I was eager to get to the library because I held onto the hope that it would have all the answers I was looking for. A part of me couldn’t help but wonder what would happen if I didn’t happen to find what I wanted but I tried to shut it out. There was no use being negative and potentially ruining my entire day.My phone rang just as I got out of the bathroom and I picked it up without looking at the caller ID. “Did you get it?”I knew immediately that it was Clara and I nodded momentarily forgetting that she couldn’t see me. “Yeah, I did. I’m getting ready to leave right now.”“Do you want me to come with you?” she asked. “It might be more helpful if you have two hands on deck instead of one.”“No thanks,” I would have loved her help but this was something I needed to do alone. Besides, I wasn’t sure how the library worked and I didn’t doubt that there would be guards there. I didn’t want Kaden asking
KADEN’S P.O.VThe assumption proved to be correct. We waited for over half an hour before we got the first glimpse of the rogues. It was one rogue at first and he came to scout the area. Thankfully, we were well hidden and he couldn’t see us. We waited until the rest of the rogues had arrived before we exposed ourselves and attacked them.Some of them were smart enough to run away while the others were frozen in place from shock. I gestured to Caleb to follow the ones who ran and he wasted no time before leaving with half the guards. There were more rogues than we counted on but I kinew we still had the advantage of numbers.This team wasn’t filled with children, the youngest looked to be in his mid-thirties. They were experienced fighters and they put on one hell of a fight. I had no plans of taking any hostages because I knew that torturing these rogues would prove fruitless. There were countless scars on the skin of most of them and I knew that they wouldn’t be as forthcoming with
AMELIA’S P.O.VI recognized the woman instantly. Her sharp eyes were not something I could ever forget. She was also one of the first people in this pack to be nice to me. She looked good for her age and she smiled softly when she realized that I had recognized her. The main reason I couldn’t forget her was because she said she knew my mother. I had planned to go back and ask her about it someday but life got the better of me.“I didn’t think I would ever see you here, Amelia,” she smiled then gestured for me to walk with her. “It has been a while since we last saw you and a lot has changed, you are with the Alpha now.”“He’s my mate,” I didn’t know why I was explaining myself to her but I knew I could trust her. My wolf assured me that she was kind so I followed her.She hummed. “So I heard, how does it feel being mated to an Alpha? I assume it isn’t as easy as one would think.”“It’s not,” I laughed softly. “But it’s Kaden and he is worth it, I guess. Where have you been since we la
KADEN’S P.O.VI never realized how hard it was to smother thoughts of murder until I knew another man wanted my mate. A part of me was furious that he would even think about it and I wanted nothing more than to storm into that pack and rip his head clean off his shoulders. I doubted Gregory would care but there was the little issue about him being mated to Gregory’s daughter. If anything happened to her, I knew Gregory was going to tear the world apart to kill whoever harmed her.The only thing that was keeping me sane was my promise to Amelia to trust her. I wanted to lose control, my wolf wanted to lose control but the knowledge that I would be hurting her by doing so was the only thing keeping me from making a drastic decision.“Kaden,” Amelia’s hand on my shoulder snapped me back to reality.After cleaning me up in the bathroom, she pulled me into the bedroom and made me lie in bed while she went to prepare something for me to eat. I loved whenever she cooked for me because it sho
AMELIA’S P.O.VI was practically floating in the air for the rest of the day. I was so terrified to tell him how I felt and instead of the rejection I expected to be met with, he had repeated the words back to me. It felt like things were finally aligning in my favor. I was with a man who I loved and loved me back. We spent the evening together just cuddling in bed and eating snacks. There wasn’t anything sexual about the way he held me, it was just intimate.I woke up the next morning to him shuffling around the room. When I glanced at the window, I saw that it was still dark outside. I sat up slowly glancing at the alarm clock as I did so and it read 4 a.m. my brows furrowed in confusion. Kaden had his back to me and it wasn’t until I cleared my throat that he turned to me.“Hey baby,” he whispered as he crossed the length of the room to kiss me. “You can go back to bed, it isn’t time to get up yet.”“Where are you going?”“There was a little disturbance at the border but don’t worr
AMELIA’S P.O.VAll the maids were gathered in the kitchen within minutes. I tried to tell Kaden that it wasn’t a big deal but he wasn’t having it. He was furious and I had a feeling that it had less to do with the food and more to do with the fact that he was already pissed. The maids were quaking in their shoes as they stared at the empty dishes that Kaden had lined up on the counter.“I need an answer,” his voice was deceptively soft. If you didn’t know him, you would think that he was of right mind but one look in his eyes would show you that Kaden was at his wits end. “Last time I checked, food doesn’t just up and disappear. Someone took it. The quicker I get answers, the quicker everyone else can leave.”No one dared to speak and I think that pissed him off even more because he slammed his hand against the counter. Even I jumped from the sound. I had never seen Kaden lose his cool like this. I could feel the pleading eyes of the maids on me begging me to calm him down but I could
AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden went from worried to confused to aroused in less than three seconds. One second he was opening his mouth presumably to scold me about locking the door and making him fret and the next, he was closing it and staring at me with dark eyes so black that I couldn’t make out his pupils. He reached out for me but I took a step back and gestured for him to come in. For once, Kaden didn’t protest. He just nodded and did as I had asked.I locked the door behind him and leaned against it. “How do I look? It was a new outfit and I just thought I should try it on. Do you like it?”“Like?” he scoffed, “I fucking love it. I would love it even more if you allowed me touch you in it. Where did you even get it?”“Clara got it for me,” I explained as I walked over to him.He wasted no time in grabbing my hips once I was close enough to him and he made a sound deep in his throat that was a mix between a groan and a moan. “Tell Clara I’ll buy her whatever the fuck she wants.”“What if
KADEN’S P.O.VThere was nothing better than waking up to Amelia’s body pressed flush against mine. By the time we were done last night, she was too exhausted to move and I enjoyed the feel of her skin flush against mine so I made no efforts to give her anything to wear. It was both a blessing and a curse because I woke up to her legs slung over my hips and my cock nestled right against her folds. She was breathing softly but that didn’t stop me from hardening. The action had her squirming against me which did nothing to help the case.I muttered a curse under my breath and exhaled deeply through my nose in an attempt to calm myself. There was no need for me to be acting like a horny teenager when I was balls deep inside of her last night. For e brief moment, I understood people who went to drugs, I understood the need for the high because she was like a high and I already wanted my next fix. As I stared at her delicate features I couldn’t help but realize just how perfect she was for
