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
AmeliaIt’s been a week since I woke up. Maven is a lot more protective of me than he used to be. We still talk, play, and watch TV together the way we used to when he would come to my little apartment. But now we either do it in his bedroom or he stays the night in my bedroom.He doesn’t want me to do my ‘slave’ duties. He thinks I need more time to rest, and he thinks I shouldn’t do those duties anymore.I spend time with Maggie and Sophie, but neither of them will let me do anything. Everyone is so worried about me, but I’m feeling great. It’s like I was never in that small coma.I sit on the barstool by the island in the kitchen and Maggie sets a cup of tea in front of me. She smiles softly at me as she asks, “How are you feeling, dear?”I shake my head at her, “Maggie, I’m fine. I’ve been telling all of you that! There’s nothing wrong with me.”She shrugs, “You can’t blame us for worrying, dear. You were unconscious for 2 weeks and when you arrived at the pack hospital your lips
MavenI didn’t realize that Amelia would have such a hard time taking things easy. Every day she tries to do stuff around the house and is trying to get back to her normal amount of duties.Truth be told, I was hoping that by this point she would’ve reciprocated my feelings and that we would’ve marked each other, and she would be my Luna.I know she’s feeling better, I know I can’t force her not to do anything, I just want to make her my Luna and have her start playing that role.She walks into my office with Henry in some carrier strapped to her chest and she holds a food tray. I smile at her as I say, “Thank you, my dear.”She gives me a funny look; I still haven’t found the perfect nickname for her. Every time I think I do she gives me a weird look or laughs at me and tells me no.Amelia takes a seat and smiles as she runs her finger through Henry’s hair. She would be a wonderful mother.Her eyes flicker up and meet mine and she asks, “Why are you staring at me?”I chuckle, “Just…
MavenI’m on cloud 9 after having the perfect night with Amelia. We never left our room, Maggie dropped off a tray of food outside of our door, and all we did was watch movies, make love, and sleep.It was perfect.I look down at her, she’s in a deep sleep and I decide to take this opportunity to go make coffee and some breakfast for her. I’m quiet as I slip out of bed, but the moment I move, her body turns toward me. Her eyes are still closed, but her subconscious knew I was leaving. I pick up my shirt from yesterday and place it in her hand. I smile as shortly after she pulls it closer to her and takes in a deep breath wanting my scent to comfort her. I slip on some basketball shorts and a t-shirt and look at her once more to make sure she’s still asleep before I make my way downstairs.I’m going to make breakfast myself, even if Maggie is up. I think it would be more meaningful is I did it.When I get to the kitchen I stop in my tracks as I see Elder Julian sitting on a barstool by
MavenBennett and I walk to the Elder’s meeting hall. I commanded them through the mind link to be here and I hope no one ignored me. If any of them did, then their consequence will be worse than the others.I’m pleased to see a full room when we walk in. None of the men look pleased with me and one says, “Alpha Maven, this demand for a meeting better be good.”I will keep a level head while speaking to them. Everything I say will be clear and concise. I respond, “It doesn’t matter if it’s good for you or not. I saw that a meeting was needed, and you came, as is your job.”Another man scoffs, “You act as if you’re the one in charge here, Alpha, when everyone here knows that we ultimately hold the power.”I hear Bennett chortle behind me and I force myself not to laugh at his reaction as he tries to pretend like he had something stuck in his throat.I place my hands on the table as I say, “I am the Alpha of the Renegade Pack. You cannot replace me whenever you feel like, you have no su
MavenI rush to the pack hospital to meet with Dr. Hudson. Even though he said she’s okay, it makes me uneasy at what could’ve happened.Could she somehow be pregnant? The incident with Kaden wasn’t that long ago.Just the thought of it makes me angry that he could’ve forced a child upon her.A nurse brings me straight to a room and I pace as I wait for the doctor to come in. He smiles as he walks in, “Thank you so much for coming so quickly, Alpha.”I nod my head and say, “What’s going on with Amelia?”“Well, your witch friend was right. Amelia has a strong wolf; it has been suppressed because of her being poisoned for so long. Her blood matches with someone and I believe it is her sister.”My eyebrows knit together, “Amelia was an only child.”“I’m aware that’s what she believes, Alpha. But I don’t think that information is accurate.”“Go on.” I breathe out as I cross my arms and look at Dr. Hudson. He smiles, “I believe she has a sister named Penelope Fox and… well, I don’t know al
