I never expected my mother to ask me such a question in a hurry, she might have been curious but would want to keep the question for later. I coughed and hinted Ethan to take her inside and watch over her, the others followed.
“You didn’t answer me, Damien.” “Just a girl I wanted you to meet.” “Don’t tell me….” “No, no, I’m not sure about that yet, I’m still thinking of what to do with her, since she’s not even having any qualities of being a Luna.” “Of course she does. Bring her to me, let me see her well and touch her.” “Mum, I’m not ready for this. I just wanted to keep an eye on her, that's why I brought her along.” “I’m interested, she’s beautiful.” “Yeah, just the beauty and then she’s not even anything close to being a warrior. You know how I do my things.” “It’s for the best, and the freedom of the people in the pack. The last time everything changed was four years ago, now all we do is plan a war.” “Yes, and that’s why I need to check through her properly before I do anything.” “Well, all I see in your eyes is love, Damien. You just keep pushing it aside.” “We’ll talk about her later. You called us here.” “No, I called you here, not them. You just decided to bring them along. “It’s for a reason.” “And what reason is that? A pack of betas on a journey quite far from here,hmm?” “Mum, don’t make it any harder.” The scent of the room filled me when I held her face to calm her down and stop the pestering about coming with my boys. Amelia on the other hand will be good with them around anyway. They all must have assumed she’s my mate and that’s why they are treating her nicely. But not cassie, she’s just doing her own thing I guess. “Mum, I hold a great deal of protection with the pack and I fear if I do not do things right, it will turn the other way round. Silently, everything will be disfigured.” “You should talk to Terry, he has traveled a lot to know more about the Silver frost. He’ll have better answers.” “I’m really hungry, and I’m sure the boys would love to eat your food too.” “I’ll tell Enny to bring you food soon.” The horse’s neigh was so loud and their shadows were brightly fixed into the room. The spot my mother stood on captured a picture of them, though reality didn't make any difference. “You brought horses?” “Can’t travel by car, it’d be a lot of stopping by. This city is long on security, using the forests was better.” “I can tell.” We went up the stairs as we talked, it appears she has been planning the meeting with me for a long time and she spared no details. Everything she said was like she had it all sketched out. Her image was beautiful. “That’s right. Nick has grown more than you think. I’m sure Scarlette will be happy that her son’s growing up well.” “What can I say? There’s a mother here.” “I didn’t do anything. Terry has been doing well in fathering his child. You know one time, he told me he misses his wife but Nick would talk to him and comfort him. Trust me, I’ve seen him move well.” I laughed heartily, it makes me happy to see my family are doing well. “Alpha, we might need your attention here.” “Excuse me, mum.” “What did it mean?” “The little boy keeps coming into our room and says he wants to play with her.” “Her, you mean Amelia?” “Yes, Alpha.” “So? What’s the deal about that?” “She refused to play with him and Nick is crying loud right now. She said you haven’t given the order to play with anyone.” “Let her come out here.” “And what are you going to do to her?” “Mum? I’ll handle it.” “Just give him the order and he’ll tell her what to do. She doesn’t need to come here.” I took a deep breath and looked at Frank, he bowed and left immediately. “Mum……” “Don’t do that. Do not think about saying anything. You give the orders but not try to make them slaves.” “I just wanted her to be fine.” “It’s obvious you haven’t been treating her well, she’s too scared to even play with a child. And then I thought you had your humanity back.” “Mum! I promise I wasn’t going to do anything to her.” I have everything I need from my mum. I might have been a monster ever since Keila died. She was my peace, her smiles got me all the time. My mum has seen us once and more, she could tell I was falling in love and hiding it. I’m not going to love Amelia or give her the freedom she asks for, she might be my mate, but not one to enjoy such benefits. She should stay listening to me. I’ll do what I can to make her believe that I am not one to play with. She’s getting on my nerves, and I have to make sure she doesn’t get in the way, like Ethan had said. I must get back my revenge for Keila, and I’m sure that’s what she wants. To bring her back to lay in rest and peacefully. My mother looked at me and shook her head. “We have a lot more to talk about I guess.” I just can’t imagine the last time I have been holding an offender on with a punishment. The pack hasn’t been healthy and I needed to change that. I’ve taken it too easy with them all. It's giving me so much headache already and Amelia isn’t making it any easier. My life so far has been hell inside until Amelia showed up and made it comfortable, so I thought.Amelia stood before Alpha Gideon, her father, her fur shimmering under the moonlight like silver silk. Her eyes, a piercing shade of amber, reflected the wisdom of her spirit, while her sleek coat, a blend of charcoal and snow, spoke of her lineage as the alpha's daughter.Her father noticed she was wrestling with her thoughts.“Are you okay?” “Yes, father.”“I'm okay but nervous, father.”“I can't believe you've grown so beautiful. It's a great evening, Amelia.”“I get it.”(Both) “The moon gives you great peace when you smile.” They laughed.The scent of pine and freshly fallen snow mingled in the crisp air as the members of the Silver Frost pack gathered in a circle, their breath visible in the chilly evening. There were so many figures late that evening in the areas and the pack house. It was cold and bright. Every werewolf in their form, howling. The full moon whispered such defense in their favor and every heartbeat of the m
Amelia had grown accustomed to the rhythm of the forest, the rustle of leaves, and the calls of distant creatures. For months, she had lived in solitude, hiding from the world, seeking solace in the embrace of nature. But today, something changed. As she crouched beside a small stream, cupping her hands to drink, her ears caught the sound of footsteps. Her heart quickened, and she froze, every muscle tensed with apprehension. Were they from her pack? Had they found her? She listened intently, the murmurs growing louder as the voices drew nearer. They spoke of an Alpha, one filled with rage, heartless and cruel. Fear gripped her, and she struggled to control her breathing, hoping against hope that they weren't here for her.Damien, Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack, prowled through the woods with his packmates, his senses attuned to every scent, every sound. The whispers of his companions filled his ears, painting a picture of a tyrant ruling over his
Damien's heart was like an encased ice meant to preserve a flower, prowling the corridors of his mansion like a predator on the hunt. The revelation of Amelia being his second chance mate did nothing to thaw the coldness that had settled in his soul. If anything, it only fueled his determination to keep her within his grasp, to assert his dominance over her in every way possible.Locked away in a room, her every move monitored, Amelia's world had shrunk to the confines of her prison. Damien's iron grip left her feeling suffocated, her attempts at escape thwarted at every turn. He was relentless in his pursuit, his presence a constant reminder of her captivity.As Damien approached the door to Amelia's room, a wave of conflicting emotions washed over him. He knew he should confront her, demand answers to the questions that had been plaguing him since her arrival. Yet, every time he drew near, the intoxicating scent of her skin would assail his senses, rend
“What's your name?”“Amelia.” She said bowing her head her eyes popped out like a reservoir that's preparing to lose control. Damien stood up and walked around her He scoffed and rubbed his hand through her hair inhaling every scent he got.“Look at me Amelia,” he lifted up her chin, I'm your alpha now and you listen to me.You do that and you get to stay out of the dungeon but if you don't, then you stay in their till you're ready to listen”“Stop doing that thing.” Amelia responded“Stop doing what? He said sternlyAmelia, not minding how his voice affects her, replied instantly.“That thing you do to look cruel.”She knows he's her second chance mate. Why does he have to act cold?“You've become so comfortable telling me what to do.” he picked her up from the chair and dragged her to the entrance of the door.“Ethan.” Damien called out.“Yes Alpha.”“Get her out of here and take her back to the dun
Damien was lost in the thoughts of the night he had with Amelia. He could remember the way he flipped his hand round her waist. He saw her in her wolf form and it strengthened the scent he had control over once. He was moved with her glow in the dark night and her soft ash eye. Her beauty he noticed at that moment and walked towards her himself. Amelia stared at him as he moved close to her “You've suffered so much yet you still look beautiful under the night sky.” He whispered in her hears.“You're drunk Damien.”“No I'm not.” He said flipping her hair back and forth. He took her hands and watched her reaction. He has longed to move closer to her so close. He lifted her up from the corridor and took her to his room.Amelia wondered how she didn't stop him. Is it because she suddenly felt wanted?Damien had her head in his hands holding it and rubbing his palm on her cheeks. He sniffed her and her scent got him held. He dropped his hands
Amelia’s POV “Oh! Really? Really? You think you can just come in here and do whatever you want, have you forgotten I’m the alpha and you have to listen to me? Amelia, get your butt out of here.” Damien spout angrily. His voice beckons fury, I could feel the whole room tremble, Ethan could not do anything and I just stood still maintaining my order before things go wrong again. Damien took a few steps close to me, in his bathrobe, looking so handsome, and with each step he took it was pleasing and enticing. I almost forgot his fierce words, and that stopped when he finally got to me. “Didn’t you hear me? Get out and back to where you should be, and one more unnecessary act, I’m throwing you into a punishment that you will regret ever talking back at me.” I shivered at his words, maybe I made a mistake trying to talk him into releasing me. He never will, I guess. I mean, I feel so stuck, I want to stay and I can’t even make my own choices around here. I feel so suffocated. “You
Damien’s POV The sight of her not being in the room ached me, I don’t know why I felt like she’d run away. And her absence in this room turned me off. “Where the hell did she go to?” My hands flipped the mirror down, breaking it into pieces. My fury rose not seeing her immediately. It took about thirty minutes before Ethan showed up. “Without her? I swear, she’ll regret doing this!” “Calm down, my lord. She was just having fun with one of the damsels around.” “What are you saying? I want to see her here right now.” I took his hands, and said slowly and slowly. Ethan might have been the only one who has seen my miserability, His face comforts me, my childhood friend does a great deal as he shows love, and comforts me. “I’ll bring her here now.” “Yes, please. Do so.” Ethan left the room swiftly and I sat quietly on the bed waiting for this girl that tortures me with her disappearance. “My Lord, I’m so sorry. I just thought she needed a walk, since she’s unfamiliar with the pac
Amelia’s POVThe morning came so swiftly, I felt like I hadn't had any sleep. Her voice brought me up from my sleep.“Rise and shine, you have to start getting ready.”“Did he tell you to do this too?”“No, but he might have. He told me to get you ready by sunset today.”“I see.”“Come on, you’ll be fine.” She encouraged me like I had last night. Cassie’s presence has given me a lot of risen feelings to stay and get used to the pack house interests. I might have learnt a thing or two, like giggling and ignoring the crippled arrogance.We rode through the dark cold night, my face felt so pale and argued. I watched the silence fading with Ethan’s voice over my head.“Are you okay?” His face looked so questioning and quite different from the real question he asked me. I just sniffed the blunt air and ignored him like he had ignored me all through. I’m not suffering that hard, I just couldn’t compare the hard feelings I’ll get if I was actually back at home. Ethan turned back and looked
