AmeliaThe next time I wake, I can hear Maven and the doctor speaking in hushed tones. The doctor says, “The only way to find out about her lineage is if we take a blood sample.”Maven breathes out, “Okay, I’ll speak to her when she wakes up.”“She doesn’t have to decide now, Alpha. It’s a simple blood test. She can go back to the pack house and let me know if she wants to do it. Or she can get it done before leaving. But, once she’s awake we’ll check her vitals again and see how she’s feeling. If she’s feeling good then she’s all yours, Alpha. She’ll just need to take it easy for a few days.”“Got it, doc. Thank you.”The doctor leaves the room and Maven calls me out, “I know you’re awake, Amelia.”My eyes open and I look at him and smirk, “How’d you know?”He shrugs, “I know you. So, what do you think?”“Why do I need to know about my lineage?”Maven says, “You don’t really ‘need’ to know, but it would help you learn more about yourself. Your father didn’t approve of your mother or

MavenI didn’t realize that Amelia would have such a hard time taking things easy. Every day she tries to do stuff around the house and is trying to get back to her normal amount of duties.Truth be told, I was hoping that by this point she would’ve reciprocated my feelings and that we would’ve marked each other, and she would be my Luna.I know she’s feeling better, I know I can’t force her not to do anything, I just want to make her my Luna and have her start playing that role.She walks into my office with Henry in some carrier strapped to her chest and she holds a food tray. I smile at her as I say, “Thank you, my dear.”She gives me a funny look; I still haven’t found the perfect nickname for her. Every time I think I do she gives me a weird look or laughs at me and tells me no.Amelia takes a seat and smiles as she runs her finger through Henry’s hair. She would be a wonderful mother.Her eyes flicker up and meet mine and she asks, “Why are you staring at me?”I chuckle, “Just…

MavenBennett and I walk to the Elder’s meeting hall. I commanded them through the mind link to be here and I hope no one ignored me. If any of them did, then their consequence will be worse than the others.I’m pleased to see a full room when we walk in. None of the men look pleased with me and one says, “Alpha Maven, this demand for a meeting better be good.”I will keep a level head while speaking to them. Everything I say will be clear and concise. I respond, “It doesn’t matter if it’s good for you or not. I saw that a meeting was needed, and you came, as is your job.”Another man scoffs, “You act as if you’re the one in charge here, Alpha, when everyone here knows that we ultimately hold the power.”I hear Bennett chortle behind me and I force myself not to laugh at his reaction as he tries to pretend like he had something stuck in his throat.I place my hands on the table as I say, “I am the Alpha of the Renegade Pack. You cannot replace me whenever you feel like, you have no su

Amelia I don’t know how long I stay in the shower for. When I finally come out my skin is red from the heat. I wrap the towel tightly around my body and I wipe down the mirror so that I can see my reflection. Immediately, my eyes go to the mark on my neck. My eyebrows furrow as it’s more intricate than I would’ve imagined. It looks like the heads of two wolves that are nuzzling and then below the neck it twists together in a spiral. “Huh,” I murmur to myself, and I wonder how Maven’s looks. I brush through my hair and decide on putting it in a side braid that would cover the mark. The mark is going to cause a lot of unwanted attention and I think it’s best for it to remain covered. I walk into his room and find my clothes from yesterday since all my other clothes are in the apartment area and I can’t get there without Maven. I go downstairs and smile at Maggie and Sophie was they move around the kitchen like a well-oiled machine. I jump in with them, grabbing the broom so I can st

Amelia By the time my wolf is tired out and brings us back home, it is late. The sun is setting, and the moon is rising. I feel guilt rise inside of me because I’m sure that I have caused Maven to worry. I shift into my human form and grab a large t-shirt that was hidden behind a tree. When I walk inside I can smell the scent of spaghetti cooking and Maggie looks at me and asks, “Are you okay, dear?”I nod my head slowly and look around, surprised that Maven hasn’t shown up yet. She comments, “He’s giving you space to process, Amelia, if you want to see him then you’ll need to find him yourself.”She watches me, seeing how I’m going to respond, and I ask, “Do you think I can do this?”“What do you mean?” She asks as she sets a bowl down on the island for me to take a seat. I sit at the barstool and say, “Do you think I can be Luna? The only examples I’ve ever seen for Luna have been… horrid. I don’t know what I’m doing. I’m scared to let Maven down. I wasn’t trained for this. I’m not
