AMELIA'S POVGetting ready for my wedding seemed to go by in a flurry of activities. I had the best hands to help me with my hair, makeup and dress fitting. Like she had known, my belly had grown a little bigger, so Cleo had made a little allowance in my dress for it. The dress fit perfectly and I looked like a Princess. I even felt like one. Not so long after, we heard a car honk that signaled that it was time to leave. The girls wished me luck and reassured me that I was looking good. After this, Elizabeth appeared dressed in a pastel pink dress. I had asked her to fill the role of my bridesmaid. For a moment, I remembered Hannah and how much we’d planned a day such as this. Regardless of who got married first, we had promised to be one another’s bridesmaid. Or if one was married, at least matron of honor. But those were castles in the air, apparently. Hannah was gone. I felt the sadness associated with her death but stopped my tirade of thoughts. Today was my wedding, and I could

AMELIA’S POVThe wedding ended in a flurry of activities. It was the best day of my life ever. The kind words spoken to myself and Max during the toast still rang in my eye; from Crystalbelle to my parents to Elizabeth to my brother John and Grace and even Analita, it all showed me how happy they were for us. Luke had made a toast too. He hadn’t said much, he wished us happy married life and said, Max was a great friend, and then he’d taken his seat. Max had tensed at that moment. He’d balled his hands into fists, and I’d tried my best to diffuse the tension. I had taken hold of his hands in mine and directed them to my growing bump. His eyes had lit up with tears. There, he’d forgotten Luke, and that had enabled us to finish the wedding reception without any further drama. However, I knew that there was more to come. We’d only just survived one night. With Eve in the werewolf homelands and right beside Luke, trouble was bound to happen. I was so sure of it. Yet for now, I had somet

AMELIA’S POVThe days went by too quickly, in my opinion. One moment, we were just pronounced husband and wife, and the next, we’d spent nearly a month in the pretty cabin for our honeymoon. Every single moment with Maxwell filled me with pure bliss. It felt like I was walking on sunshine with my head in the clouds. If I thought I was in love with Maxwell earlier, well, I was wrong. I don’t know if it is possible, but I fell more in love with him. We grew closer, and I was able to notice his little antics, which just made me fall more deeply in love with him. He quirked his eyebrow in an amusing way when he was deep in thought. He said he wasn’t snoring, but he made this funny whizzing sound when he was asleep. He liked to sleep on his back with his arms folded over his belly. I’d disrupted that though, choosing to curl at his side and cuddle up to him at any given moment. I mean, that was the point to everything, wasn’t it. Keeping one another warm? Making love to him was thrilling

AMELIA’S POVYes, the ride to my homeland was long. It felt like we’d never get out of the car. If felt like it would never end because we just kept going on and on and on. I had to resist every urge to keep asking my parents, “Are we there yet?” When the car did stop, Dad got off first and then proceeded to help Mum and then me. As my feet hit the ground, I heard a delightful scream and looked up to see Jaime running towards me. There was a neat row of children lined up to face one another with a flower in their hands, but I couldn’t even see them properly as I just concentrated on catching Jaime. “Aunty Amelia!” she hugged me tightly.I bent to her level, reveling in her hugs. “My sweet Jaime. I missed you.”“I missed you too. I saw you at your wedding. You were looking like a princess.”My Dad cleared his throat, “I’m sorry to interrupt this chitchat. But we have to get into the house and Amelia,” I looked up at my Dad. “There is a special parade for you.” “Wait what? For me?”“

EVE’S POVFor a moment there, I was almost lost in the euphoria of being Luke’s mysterious mate that his wolf folks were curious about. Luke was very protective of me, and it felt very good. Until Ezekiel yanked me out of this daydream. He’d followed me and Luke into the wolf homelands, and I knew was organizing how more of his hunters would arrive and invade the homelands. He was hiding at the basement of Luke’s huge family house. I was whisked away to see him that day after he took his chance and stole into Luke’s chamber, which was where I was to demand to see him. I knew he was mad at me. His perfectly gelled hair was standing on the ends, and he looked so pale and even thin. Once we were in the basement and the door was shut firmly behind us after Ezekiel ensured to be double sure that no one had followed us and no one had seen us, he lashed out at me. It was sudden and unexpected, but Ezekiel hit me squarely in the face. “You whore!” He hissed at me. I felt my anger flare u
