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
Night. Amelia didn’t go back home until the sky had gone dark. Now she didn’t need to pick Eric up for the training, so she stayed late to try a few new recipes. When she stopped her truck in front of the house, a black shadow stood up from beside the street. Amelia noticed it was Jeff. While getting out of the truck, she kept her facial expression cold.Jeff had run to the car door to greet her, “Luna,” he bowed his head to show his respect.Amelia snorted, coldly, “Haven’t I told you to get out of my sight? Are you fucking deaf?!”Jeff clenched his fists, but he kept his tone genial, “I need to talk with you, Luna. It’s important.”Amelia scoffed rudely, “If you weren’t here to tell me that fucking bastard had already died, then get the fuck away from me!” she then pushed Jeff on the shoulder fiercely to make her way.Jeff was startled by her unexpected violence, but he soon grabbed Amelia’s arm, “Wait! We need to talk!”Amelia turned her head, and her eyes were throwing daggers,
Amelia frowned impatiently after hearing Darren’s reply from Jeff’s mouth.She rolled her eyes, standing on the porch of her house, and then cursed, “I can’t believe I thought he really loved me. What a pretentious bastard!”Jeff persuaded her patiently, suppressing his anger, “Just rent a house and get a housekeeper. It’s easy.”Amelia snorted, “Easy how? Haven’t you ever managed a home? Do you know how much effort it needs to decorate a house? Not to mention the cost. He can’t expect me to pay for it, can he?”Jeff started getting a headache. He didn’t expect Amelia to be so petty. He growled, “I will pay for it! Tell me how much you need?! I will send you a check tomorrow.”That was unexpected. Amelia tried hard not to laugh out, “In that way…” she quickly did the math in her mind and then multiplied it, “I need 250 grand.”Jeff almost jumped, “Are you renting a house or buying one?!”Amelia crossed her arms, “I am the pack’s Luna. I want to live in a fancy house. That’s the minimu
Amelia ran all the way to their new house. Darren followed her in his wolf form.It was pretty crazy to laugh and run in the heavy rain with a huge wolf running after her. Whoever saw it might think she had lost her mind, but Amelia felt genuinely happy.Apart from that mysterious vampire original, everything went smoothly. She had already figured out what Ian was up to. All she needed to do now was to set up a trap, and then wait for Ian to appear.She was eager to snap Ian’s neck with her own hands. But before that, she wouldn’t for/bid herself from enjoying life.She and Darren, they both deserve happiness.After pushing open the door, a huge lobby was presented in front of their eyes. Amelia had half-finished decorating it. There were red tulips on the table, and cozy art prints on the walls. She pointed to the window which opens to the outside, “How about a little coffee table there? We can plant some flowers outside and install a swing.” She said that while turning her head ba
