All Chapters of The Alpha's Substitute Mate : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Fear was too much of an understatement to describe how Amelia felt. It was bone-chilling, spine breaking and bike crunching fear that seeped into her very skin and wore her like clothes. With trembling hands, she counted the blue patterns on the skirt of her Sunday dress. It was the only good thing she owned. The rest of her clothes were either worn out or ripped at the seam. And before she had left for Alpha Adrian's mansion, her father had warned her to wear her best dress and smile. After that, he shoved her and her luggage in the carriage and bid her ridden. Amelia leaned back on the soft carriage seat, trying so hard to relax her stiff joints but the fear wouldn't let her. Her exhale came out as a shaky breath and she blew hot air into her palms. It was becoming chilly all of a sudden. “We're in Alpha Adrian's territory.” The coachman announced to her.Suddenly, the sound of a thousand raindrops hit the leather rooftop and Amelia was compelled to look outside. She had heard

The echoes of a cruel laughter filled the moist air. It was shortly followed by the cry of a girl.“Useless Amelia!” A blonde girl on pigtails laughed as she pointed at her.“Omg. Look at her, she can't even transform.” “Don't look at her. My mom said you'd catch the disease and it'll affect you.”Amelia fisted her hand at her side. “I'm not sick!”Linda said with a scowl on her face. “Then explain why you can't transform, huh?”Amelia fell silent.Linda went on. “Explain why you can't transform!”“She's a witch! Be careful, Linda!” Her friends called behind her. Linda scoffed. “She can't do anything.”All of a sudden, her lips curved into a grin. “Hey, guys. I've got a brilliant idea.”“What is it?”“Why don't we help Amelia transform? Grab her leg!”Amelia cried out in her sleep.“No. Please, don't hurt me!”Adrian threw his eyes open. He heard muffled cries coming from across the hall. Pushing back the bedcovers, he stiffened. There was an odd scent in the house and it wasn't Ame

It was dawn, the midnight sky now displayed the soft warm breeze brushing through, the sky spread with the bright, beautiful galaxy. Everything was so peaceful and calm as I drew the night gaze, but everything seemed to be the opposite of Amelia's condition. Her face had turned reddish-pink, her stomach in turmoil, her mind going blank. Beads of sweat began to drop little by little from her forehead; she was in so much pain. Definitely, she had eaten something she was allergic to.On the other hand, Adrian, in his room, seemed uncomfortable, sensing something—something unknown, something he couldn't figure out just by reasoning. He kept tossing and turning on the bed, unable to shake off the feeling. He stood up, and now the feeling began to intensify. “There's definitely something going on,” he thought. He dragged out his dagger and walked through the stillness, stepping outside. He watched around, even standing at a corner to observe the area, but there was nothing. This seemed

At the prestigious store, Amelia crouched down on the 11th shelf, trying to avoid Linda's gaze. Just then, she heard Linda's voice from behind her.“Amelia, what are you doing here?” Linda questioned, her hands on her hips.“I… I… I came, no… I…” Nervousness enveloped Amelia as she struggled to find the right words, her stammering betraying her anxiety as she searched for a place to hide or squeeze her body into.“Here you go again! You’re married and still don’t know how to use your words,” Linda mocked, stepping closer to Amelia.“I’m sorry, I was—”“Whatever, who cares?” Amelia lowered her head, unsure of how to respond to Linda’s taunts.Linda walked up to Amelia, raising her chin. “Aren’t you supposed to be cleaning the floors of your husband’s house?” She paused, looking at Amelia's outfit. “Hmm, what is this you’re wearing?”“How dare you touch this dress?” Amelia snapped, anger bubbling beneath her sadness.“I’m sorry, I’ll return it now,” Amelia said, bowing her head as tear

"Where's Adrian, my husband?" Sylvia exclaimed, her mind racing with confusion and surprise.Before she could respond, Sylvia pulled Amelia aside as she walked in. "Adrian! Adrian!" she began yelling his name throughout the house."He is not around," Amelia replied in a somewhat sad tone."Oh, well then, I will wait for him," Sylvia mentioned as she sat on the couch with her legs crossed.‘Sassy girl,’Amelia thought to herself.As Amelia walked to her room, she was called by Sylvia again. "Hey you!" she called rudely. "Don't you know how to treat guests properly?""Oh, I'm sorry," Amelia said, walking back down to the kitchen to bring ice and juice.Just then, Sylvia sniffed the atmosphere and yelled from the sitting room, "Hey you, what's your name?"Amelia, walking down to her, quickly answered."I'm Amelia," she introduced."I'm Sylvia Browne, by the way. Well, I smell cookies!""Oh, that really..." Amelia gave a bright smile, not even realizing she was happy;’ the cookie smell w
