MavenI definitely didn’t plan on doing that with Amelia right then. But when I walked into the bathroom and heard her moans and saw her pleasuring herself, I couldn’t resist joining in and showing her greater pleasures than what she could imagine.After, we went to bed with her sleeping in my arms. I run my hand up and down her side enjoying the feel of her soft skin underneath my fingertips.She turns toward me with a soft moan, and I smile as I hold her closer. I will never get tired of this. I wish I hadn’t held myself back from her for so long.Suddenly, her face looks distressed, and she lets out a gasp as her eyes pop open. My eyebrows furrow and I say, “Hey, hey, you’re okay. What happened?”She looks at me with wide eyes as she shakes her head softly as she responds, “Nothing, it was just a bad dream.”“Amelia, that didn’t seem like nothing.”Her lips press together and she breathes out, “I think it’s time for me to tell you what happened that got me banished.”My eyebrows ra
AmeliaIt’s like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders since telling Maven the truth about what happened to me. He hasn’t pushed me for intimate encounters, and he makes me feel like I have a voice.Growing up as a rogue, I never had a voice. It’s weird feeling like I matter now.Although Maven said I could do other duties around the pack, I decided to keep up with my normal house duties with Maggie and Sophie. They’ve become like family and just because I’m in a relationship with Maven doesn’t mean I want things to change or that I want to stop working.The only thing Maven has required of me is that I have to go to daily training sessions to learn how to fight. He has me working in group sessions and has me in solo sessions with our trainer three times a week.It’s exhausting. I’ve never experienced anything like it. But I did notice a change in my body, and I was improving every day, so I suppose it’s a good thing.Life has become consistent and mundane. It’s the same thing eve
MavenIt wasn’t a huge attack, when the alarms had gone off, I was worried.I look around me and see that we don’t have any major casualties. Relief floods through me and it’s time for me to go to Amelia and explain the alarm that had sounded.That alarm only sounds when we are concerned about a huge attack, and we need everyone to get to safety immediately. It wasn’t as bad as the patrol had thought and the battle was over with quickly.I run back to the packhouse and open the safe house door and a crowd of women, children, and elderly exit. I see Maggie and I smile at her as I ask, “Where’s Amelia?”Her eyebrows furrow with confusion as she says, “Amelia never came here.”My heart jumps to my throat and I stutter as I ask, “Wh-what do you mean she never came here? I told her to come here and that you would be here.”I don’t give her a chance to respond before I start running to the training spot where Amelia had been at. As I run over there I yell, “Amelia! Amelia, answer me!”Why d
AmeliaMy dad paced angrily around the room. The woman looked angry as she fixed the pentagram. She looks at him and says, “She has to drink it by the time I’m done chanting, or it won’t work.”He looks at me and says, “Drink it, Amelia.”I shake my head and say, “What do you mean you’re trying to get rid of the monster inside of me?”“Look, your mother wasn’t strong enough to survive it, but you’re younger! You can handle it.”Shock floods through me and I ask, “Did you kill my mother? I thought it was because of the Alpha.”He shocks his head as he says, “You don’t understand baby. It’s the wolf side of you that keeps you bound to a pack, to an Alpha! Think of how much better your life would be without that.”“Being a wolf is part of who I am! I don’t want to give that up!”I think of Maven and the life I’m beginning to have with him. My life is finally getting good, and my dad is the last person I ever would’ve expected to sabotage me. He walks over to me, holding the cup of poison
AmeliaI rush off into the woods, but I’m unable to shift and the forest floor hurts my bare feet. I have to push through the pain though, I need to keep moving. I need to get to safety.I can hear my father’s voice as he yells for me and I can hear the woman complain, “I thought you said she would cooperate!”The world begins to spin, and I have a hard time moving properly. It’s like the trees have doubled and I can’t tell if I’m standing up or not anymore. I keep moving my feet, even if I’m on the ground I could just crawl away. But how am I supposed to know if I’m crawling or running?Why do I feel so funny?I feel my father’s hand grab my ankle as he yells, “Gotcha!”I scream out and tears pour down my face. What am I going to do?My legs kick with all their might, but it’s like it’s nothing for my dad. The woman says, “Finally, let’s tie her up and get this thing done with.”I scream out as loud as I can and I call for the only person I believe could save me, “MAVEN!”MavenI dri
Maven My heart is in my throat as I bring Amelia to our pack doctor. Her lips are blistered and she’s unconscious, but at least I got her. I just hope I got her in time. I sit by her side in the pack hospital as the doctor looks over her. While he does this, I breathe out and scroll through my phone.There is only one witch that I trust that can tell me whether something is wrong with her. The phone rings twice and she says, “Can I help you?”“Cora? It’s Maven. I need your assistance.”“How urgent?”I glance at Amelia and the doctor’s furrowed brow as he examines her and I say, “As fast as you can, please.”“I’ll be there shortly, Maven.”I nod as I hang up the phone and look towards the doctor. He hasn’t said anything to me, but he doesn’t need to. His facial expressions show his concern. The silence is killing me though, I need to know how bad this damage is. A few minutes pass and the door opens and I smile softly as I see Cora making her grand entrance. Her black curly hair is
AmeliaMy head is pounding, I don’t even want to open my eyes from how bad my head is hurting. But I can tell the light is shining bright through my closed eyes. I don’t know who’s with me, but I can’t help but murmur, “Turn off the light.”I hear Maven’s frantic voice, “Amelia?! Did you just talk?”I respond in a low tone, “Yeah, can you dim the lights before I open my eyes?”He doesn’t listen to my request as his lips are quickly pressed against mine. My eyes fly open, caught off guard by his kiss before I close them again as I melt into him.His hands are on either side of my face and he kisses me tenderly. The kiss is so soft and sweet like he’s scared he’s going to break me. I can feel the love behind his kiss, but I can also feel the want he has to deepen the kiss.I try to take us further, but he pulls away from me as he softly shakes his head. I lift my hand up, trying to block the light and I say, “Maven, the light?”He laughs as he jumps up, “Sorry, you’re right. It’s too br
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
