#Chapter12I spent the evening yesterday with Lucas and Elijah and it was the best couple of hours I have had in a while. Elijah and Lucas are total opposites, Lucas is always on edge and wants things done here and now unlike Elijah, he's so laid back and has a wicked sense of humour. Their wedding photos were absolutely stunning, Lucas looked so happy. I'm gutted I missed it. I stretched out in bed and groaned. Tristan and Georgie did an amazing job of my bedroom, they replaced pretty much everything. I rolled over and grabbed my phone from the side table. I  unlocked it then promptly screwed my eyes shut as the light blinded me. I let my eyes adjust before I looked properly at it. There was a text from Ria and Lucas. I opened Ria's first...Ria Roo xo - Do you want to have a pamper day ready for tomorrow? xxMe - Um, yeah that'll be... nice. XxRia Roo xo - Well get ready. I'll be at yours soon or we can meet at the packhouse xxMe - Packhouse, 1 hour. See you soon

#Chapter14I paused in front of the hospital and took a deep breath. I really need to go in there and find out how Elijah is and apologise for hurting him. I hung my head down and let a stray tear fall. I don't know how I'm going to do this without losing it. Keeping calm helps keep everything at bay, but I'm not going to be able to stay calm with this guilt eating at me.  'Use Rhydian as an anchor.' Aurora whispered. 'An anchor?' I puzzled. 'Use the mate bond to your advantage. Fake or not.' She stated. I sighed, knowing she was right. I glanced up and Rhydian, who was stood beside me, eyeing me intensely. His lips turned up into a small smile. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Come on, Amaris. This is the only way you're going to be able to go in there. I opened my eyes, slowly. He was watching me, staring. "I need you to do me a favour." I groaned. He raised one brow at me, waiting for me to continue. "Look, I'm not sure why you calm me but I need you to do it no

#Chapter16At some point in the night we shifted. So I'm no longer feeling the warmth of being locked inside my wolf. My teeth were chattering together, I pulled my knees up to my chest and tried to get warm.'Maybe we should go back.' Aurora whined.'No, they aren't safe.' I whimpered.'You're going to get ill, Amaris.' She scolded.I yawned and sat up. A branch snapped in the distance and I froze. Since I have no idea where I am, it could be anyone.I slowly and quietly tiptoed out of the cave. I scanned the area but couldn't see anyone. Since I still have my necklace, no one can sense me. I sniffed the air and caught a very familar scent.I froze, not knowing what to do. I can't let him see me. I stepped back towards the cave, I'll be safe in there. I spun around and listened for any movement. I edged towards the cave, when I heard a voice I haven't heard in 4 years..."Amaris, is that you?" The man spoke, knocking the wind out of me. I didn't turn around, I stayed rooted to

#Chapter18"Amaris, the doctor is here to see you." Tristan gently shook me, waking me up. I groaned and opened my eyes. The doctor was stood at the foot of the bed, reading my medical chart. He looked up from the chart and beamed at me. "It's been a while since I last saw you... Alpha." He smiled brightly at me. I frowned at him, I don't recognise him. "I see you don't remember me, I was the one that treated you after Al-" He was cut off by Tristan snarling at him, "Not now, Doc. Amaris needs to rest and bringing that up will only set her back." Tristan warned. The doctor shook his head and apologised before coming round the side of the bed to me. "I'm Doctor Reeves." He greeted. "So, Alpha how are you feeling?" He questioned, staring down at me. I rolled my eyes and snorted, "I'd be much better if you didn't call me Alpha." I groaned. He glanced between me and Tristan awkwardly. "But... You're my Alpha." He stammered. I rolled my eyes again at him and huffed dramatically. "I'm f

#Chapter20"What do you mean?" He asked, his voice full of curiosity. "Just trust me." I croaked, the pain was increasing again and I knew something wasn't right. "Why should I trust you? When you don't trust me?" He said, his voice full of pain. I glanced at him, "I want to tell you, but I'm-" I screwed my eyes shut and whimpered. "Amaris?" He panicked. He jumped up from the floor and carefully sat next to be on the bed, placing his hand just above where my bandage was. The pain eased slightly and I opened my eyes gradually, keeping my eyes fixated on him. "You're my mate, aren't you?" He whispered, gazing down at me. "RHYDIAN!" Ezra bellowed from downstairs. Rhydian looked towards the door and then back at me, "I'll go get the doctor." He smiled as he stood up. He walked to the door, glanced back at me then ran out of the room. "No, don't get a shower on your own. Aunt Georgie will be there soon." Tristan finally mind linked back."The pack doctor is here. There's something
