Amelia’s POV
The 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 up at Damien, whose eyes were stoned and focused on the book he was reading. “What is he reading?” I whispered right beside Ethan. He turned his face back at me. “I don’t know, ask him.” “Don’t even try.” Damien had responded even before I stood a chance to ask a thing I sat back gently and smart. A tense atmosphere, like an unwanted reunion. It wasn’t the most blissful journey I’ve been on. Well, I wouldn’t want to talk about my run away from home and the days alone in the forest. “Let’s rest a bit, I need the night breeze.” Damien’s cold voice interrupted my thoughts. “Come, I’ll help you.” One of them offered a hand for me to alight. He looked straight at me, and I looked away. “Help her if you will, stop staring firmly at her.” A familiar voice said almost giving an order like Damien. I quickly got down on my own, without his help. Everyone had gone different ways in the forest, camping as if a bonfire. My eyes caught the figure of the young werewolf that offered me a hand earlier. He seemed unanswered to, a same fit of Cassie and I couldn’t imagine the sight of that. “Who are you?” I asked without thinking. He looked at me and laughed out loud. “So sorry about his behavior.” “Who?” My eyes asking questions over again like, ‘that wasn’t the answer I expected’. “I’m Frank, the alpha’s beta, one of them to be precise.” “And what about Ethan?” My voice thrilled in disbelief, he’s the strongest Alpha, why would he need so much betas? “He’s the closest to the Alpha. I wasn’t expecting that question, anyway.” He gave me a funny look, and I tried to smile, it just didn’t work out well for me as I burst out in laughter. “Seems you guys are having fun.” Another young man’s voice right behind us spoke as I could feel his presence close to us, of course, he was close to us. “Yeah, wanna join in?” Frank asked. “With pleasure, frank.” “He’s Danny, but we call him the pack’s cupid.” Frank had exposed Danny’s weakness. “You know, one time he almost got himself killed because of love. Sadly, the girl was human and was a spy. If the Alpha had known they were together…..” Danny didn’t let Frank complete his words before he landed a faint punch on his shoulder. Frank winced in a bit of pain, and they both laughed out loud. I watched them both play heartily. --------- Damien’s POV “You shouldn’t have brought her along.” Ethan said in a displeasing tone. “I see no reason why I shouldn’t.” “The silver frost had shut down every one of their attacks, I can’t tell why.” “Why? You’ve been busy telling me what to do ever since she arrived.” “I’m sorry, but you seem lost every time we talk about her. The last time, it was a dream you almost tore out from.” “Don’t lecture me, Ethan.” “I’m not, just trying to look out for you.” “Yeah, look out for me and fight the silver frost for killing your father. Remember I lost Keila and my father in the same fight?” “Yes, you did, and didn’t bother to fight back for their lives since Amelia arrived.” Ethan kept on pressurizing me with Amelia’s presence. I felt like I can disengage from the unnecessary thoughts I’ve been going on with her being around. “Let’s make sure to go back home safe after this feast. The silver frost pack will pay for what they did.” “Here I thought I was the only one having a sense of returning to the old days.” I suddenly pulled out a smile at the tone of his words. Ethan looked at me in disbelief, I only felt comfortable with him around until Amelia arrived bearing the same scent as it was so difficult to have a different smell. Ethan has been jealous since then and wants me to focus on planning a fight against the silver frost. “If my mum calls for a feast, I really cannot predict what she’s up to. She refused to come into the pack since father died.” “Right. Who knows? She might just need to see you after these long years.” “Suddenly, you think?“ “Well, she’s growing just like you.” Ethan paused. “Is that why you asked her to come along?” “Not all, I just needed to make sure she’ll be okay.” “If you say so.” I could hear the boys giggle so hard. Ethan and I stood up and followed the sound, I was surprised at the feminine voice I heard. It was drawing and calling. I didn’t know why I wasn’t annoyed, I just had a sense of belonging. We saw them all gathered around a fire, with Amelia in their midst. I didn’t know what to think, I just looked at Ethan who looked clueless also. The rustle of the leaves and the cold wind that blew the fire bolder across our face gave them a sense of our presence. They all stood up immediately and moved closer to us. Frank was the first person to speak. “We didn’t think you might want to join us, Alpha.” He said with his head low. “It’s fine, you can go on with the fun, leave some space till we get to our destination. And her? No harm must come to her.” I turned back to Ethan, who just stood lifeless like a statue and one with a broken rib. “You don’t think she’s enchanting too right?” I whispered to Ethan. “I mean, she’s acting just like Keila.” “Come on Damien, Keila again?” “Can’t you see it?” “All I can see is your infatuation with this girl.” “I’m just amazed being able to smell her and her scent as strong and the same as Keila's“ “Well, you could say the moon goddess gave you Keila back.” “Are you going to accept her?” Ethan asked with a curious look.Ethan gave Damien a curious look, waiting for his answer. He was sure he’d accept her but Damien was quite unpredictable and made his decision as he wanted to. “I can’t say yet, I may give her a chance but not sooner. I can’t risk the pack in the hands of a fragile Luna. One that will stay and not run like my mum did. “You mean someone that will be able to fight alongside you?” “Yeah, a bit of Keila’s affectionate and concerned behavior.” “Amelia looks comfortable here though, have you asked her yet? “Ask her what?” “What she was doing behind that tree that night we were on patrol.” “I have, she refused to say.” Ethan gave a faint smile causing Damien to turn to him strongly. “Do you know why she’s not talking?” “Not so, but you’ve not given her the chance to speak on that and you’ve claimed her.” “If I lose a captive, I lose ten percent of my respect. No one dares to trespass into our pack. That is a rule everyone knows.” Damien said with a firm utterance, like
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 anythin
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
