AMELIA’S POVWith my eyes in a blindfold, Elizabeth led me into a car and drove to some special location. It was a few days until my wedding, and I knew that she was up to something, even though I didn’t know what it was. We drove for a few minutes before Elizabeth helped me out of the car and into a building; I was still blindfolded. I tried to figure out where I was but couldn’t. The blindfold was done well. Suddenly, Elizabeth stopped and said, “We’re here! You can take off your blindfold now.” I didn’t hesitate, I reached behind me and untied the blindfold behind my head. Immediately, the blindfold fell away, and I heard the words, “Surprise!”I stared in shock at my Mum, Crystalbelle, Analita and Elizabeth’s smiling faces. I stared around me and realized we were in some sort of fancy hotel room that was properly decorated to reflect a bridal shower. Elizabeth walked up to me and placed a sash around me. “Dear little bride of ours, we couldn’t just send you off without having a
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
EVE’S POVThe look on Amelia’s face was epic. When she set her eyes on me, her eyes bulged out; they grew as round as saucers, and it seemed like they almost wanted to fall out of its sockets. It made me laugh. Yet, I had to resist the urge to laugh out loud and still maintain my composure as the beautiful and mysterious woman who was Alpha Luke’s pregnant mate. The reception I’d received from his home pack was something to talk about. Due to how I’d become a wolf, Luke had told me to maintain my distance from everyone in his immediate family. Once we arrived in his homeland, he’d whisked me away into my chambers, and I’d stayed put there most of the time. I’d even been served meals there. Not like I mind being hidden, but what could I do?However, for all the discomfort I felt, the priceless look on Amelia’s face made up for it. It made up for everything. Thinking of what Amelia had sometimes made my head hot with anger. She was the mate of one of the most powerful Alphas in werewol
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
MAX’S POVSo the night went too swiftly for me, really. I’d taken the lead, knowing how innocent Amelia was. Yet, despite how innocent she was, I found her innocence even more endearing. Her large green eyes had been unable to conceal her emotions, and this had made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’d taken time to take things slow for her sake, but she’d insisted. I hadn’t planned to make love to her that night, trying to understand her innocence and her readiness. But she’d shown up in that red dress that had made my little guy stand hard and ready. Even then, I’d used all my willpower to turn away, but she’d made the first move, she’d walked up to me and hugged me, hugging me hard and tightly. I’d asked her if she was sure and if she was ready, and she nodded, giving me her consent. From then on, I’d taken the lead, guiding her and also ensuring she enjoyed herself thoroughly as well. It wasn’t so much as satisfying my desires, it was more about her desires as well. So
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’ POVMax led me to the rooftop of the Moon Castle. There was such an impressive balcony with chairs and even a bed that made star gazing easier. Max sprawled on the bed, and I joined him, curling next to him. I spent the next hour just drinking in his presence close to me and the sound of his voice as he pointed out what star was what to me. He was very knowledgeable about the stars, and I found it even more endearing. The moon was exceedingly bright that night, such that in her light, I could see as plain and clear as day. I stared at Max’s beautiful jawline and those lips that were super kissable and had to bring myself to look away. I said, “Where did you learn so much about the stars?”“Well, there’s a subject like that in wolf high school. So, I learnt there. However, I read further beyond astronomy of high school. I was intrigued by the subject.”I nodded and cleared my throat, thinking of how best to broach the subject before me. I said, “So, I am willing to tell you w
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?”“
