In Fox Town outside the Misty Forest, Amelia was having a great life.It may not be perfectly great because she never dated anyone, but she did enjoy every single day she had there.In the second month after they settled down, she got her own bakery shop with Irene’s help.There was this cute little shop waiting for rent on Eric’s way to school. Amelia fell in love with it the moment she saw it. Ever since Eric bought her cookies with money for the first time, she had been dreaming of having her own bakery shop.Cooking delicious food had always been the greatest joy in her life, and the scent of freshly baked cakes and bread always made her smile.She loved the feeling of devoting herself to something sweet and healing.Irene noticed her little wishes. She passed her a check at dinner, “Just think of it as Eric’s training fee, and I need you to help me take care of Ella.” Her voice was cold and stern as always. Amelia knew what a great favor Irene was offering her.“Thanks,” she clu
After closing her shop, Amelia drove directly toward Eric’s school. It was a two-story building in the middle of the town.When Amelia arrived, Eric had been waiting there in the parking lot. Seeing Amelia, he waved his hand to her first and then ran towards her truck.“Good afternoon, Anne.” He sat in the passenger seat as usual and greeted her. Amelia smiled, “How about school today? Any new letters?” Eric blushed. He had already hit puberty, was much taller than two years ago, and had a handsome face. Lots of girls liked him.“You know I don’t want letters, Anne.” He coughed to cover his embarrassment, then changed the topic, “What’s our training today? You said we could go explore the Misty Forest when summer comes. Can we go today?”“I said ‘If you can run faster than me by summer, then we can go explore the Misty Forest’,” Amelia replied while turning around the truck, then drove directly towards the woods outside the town.Eric co
Darren didn’t mean to scare Amelia with his fury. He had already seen tears in her eyes, but he couldn’t control himself.The fear of losing his mate was too strong. It was even more scary than seeing the earth crack and the sky fall.The moment he sensed her life was in danger, he had completely lost his mind. He ran through the vast forest in almost the blink of an eye. Moon Goddess knows what he would turn if he hadn’t happened to be nearby.He just came to this area minutes ago. After he got that phone call from Fay, he ordered his army to come here to meet him by plane, then ran towards the Misty Forest via woods and mountains in his wolf form to save time. If he hadn’t done so, if he had been late for even a second, he might have lost her forever. And he would burn down the whole forest, even the whole world, for her.“Ooooooooooooooooooooh!!!”He roared towards the darkened sky over and over again, angrily, furiously, ragefully, and ferociously to unleash his wrath, his fury,
One should always tell their true feelings to their partner.It contradicted everything Amelia had learned from her past life. Still, she decided to talk with Darren.Seeing him walking away like that was like a knife stabbing right into her heart. Amelia didn’t want to lose him again, and she surely didn’t want to see him hurt. She had already realized there must be some kind of misunderstanding between them. It’s just difficult for her to find the right way to face him. It was she, after all, who escaped from him without leaving a word…Amelia lay on the bed awake the whole night.The next day, when the dawn cast first daylight, she quickly got off bed and freshened herself up in the bathroom.After that, she left a note to Irene, then drove her truck back to her bakery shop. She decided to bake some muffins for Darren as their “meeting gift”. She needed to thank him for his help last night no matter what, but soon, she realized she had no idea what flavor he liked. The time they
“Do you know I was married once?”That ticking sound in her head was extremely bizarre, but Amelia only allowed it to exist for two seconds before she swept it to the corner of her mind.The cozy ambiance of the forest afternoon was too nice for her to waste it. She lay on the blanket with Darren together, watching the glittering sunshine chasing the naughty leaves above her head.The sound of the wind blowing through the trees was soothing like the ocean. Amelia placed her head on Darren’s shoulder, raising her hand to look at the view through her delicate fingers.All the painful past, all those fear and despair had already dissipated into the thin air. Now Amelia thought about it, it couldn’t even be counted as a nightmare.She turned over, lying on Darren’s strong chest, telling her ridiculous past with an amused smile.Darren raised his brows in surprise, “Really? When?” his hand stroking her soft hair.Amelia pressed her ear on his chest to feel his heartbeats, “A long time ago,
The determination in her eyes was very unusual. Darren couldn’t help but ask her, “Why?” He knew Ian used to ab/use Amelia, but she had never mentioned it directly in front of him. Now she must have made the proposal for a reason.Amelia hesitated about telling him about the future. It was the strangest thing difficult for anyone to believe and it wasn’t necessary for her to help Darren.“Do you know why I saw you kissing that girl outside the Wolf Committee?” Her tone was cold and calm, which surprised herself a little.Darren shook his head with confusion. Amelia replied, “Because Ian took me there,” she stared into Darren’s eye, “He kidnapped me from the hotel and forced me to watch you kissing that girl. That’s why I misunderstood you and left.”Darren pressed his lips. Rage started to build up in his chest. During the past two years, he had always assumed Amelia had left spontaneously. He never thought Ian played a part in it.“Did he hurt you?” He cupped her cheek into his palm,
In the woods not so far away from Fox Town, little animals there witnessed the most horrible fight in the pleasant afternoon.The girl’s face turned red and she screamed angrily, “How could you not trust me?! It was Ian who took me away from the hotel! I didn’t run away on my own! I didn’t make that phone call! It’s your stupid warriors failed their job!”The man argued with her, but his tone wasn’t confident at all, “My people will never let Ian get into the hotel. You cannot accuse them like that. You are their Luna. You should trust them and be their support.”Amelia almost laughed out at his clumsiness. She quickly mind-linked him, “You should be angrier. This isn’t a fight at all!”Darren scratched the back of his head. He felt embarrassed, “I don’t know how to fight, Amelia. And I can’t shout at you. I can’t do that.”Amelia curled up her lips. How could a man as powerful as him be so gentle?She pondered for a while, then replied, “I will do the fight. You just pretend to be hu
Amelia didn’t get much sleep at the night. What Irene told her bugged her head. Somehow, she had a really bad feeling about what had happened to Green Lake. The Moon Goddess’s relic that was too good to be true, the vampire original which only existed in stories, and Jeff’s betrayal and Ian. All those things tangled into a puzzling knot in her head. She sensed something huge and horrid would fall upon the little town soon. The long-lost fear recaptured her but she wouldn’t try to escape this time. The one thing she had learned from her tragic past life was that nothing could be solved by escape. Avoiding would only make things much worse.“Just hope you will be here with me, all the time.” She laid on the bed on her side, whispering to the air in the dark.Darren sensed her via their mate bond. He answered her uneasiness with a deep growl in his throat.They both had a tough night without much sleep.The next day, when the dawn cast its first light, Darren climbed down the tree to l
