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
“Let’s pay a visit to the Green Lake.”The moment Amelia said that, the vibes around Darren became nervous. It was the first time he showed that kind of emotion in front of her. Amelia felt surprised. She asked, “Is everything alright?”Darren hesitated. His mood fell down, “I … don’t like that place,” he added, “It arises … bad things inside me.”That was some odd information. Amelia widened her eyes, “You have been there?”Darren shook his head, “No. I had my warriors check it for me. And they found nothing unusual. I tried to do it by myself…several times, but I failed. Each time I stopped at the entrance. That place, it …. scares me.”It would take something really special to have a powerful Alpha like him to say the word “scared”. Amelia bit her bottom lip. She got worried, but was more convinced of her assumption, “Is there something dangerous in the Green Lake? Or something special to you?”Darren went silent for a while. He lowered his head as if hesitating, then answered, “
Irene returned home a little bit late today. Earlier in the afternoon, Amelia texted her she wouldn’t come home for dinner. After picking up Eric and Ella, Irene took them to eat pizza at the restaurant. Eric was a really smart kid. Ever since Darren showed up at the little town, he had sensed something unusual was about to happen.In the middle of their meal, he nudged his little sister and announced, “Ella and I, we are not into this place that much. We can move anytime,” he then looked into the eyes of his little sister. “Right?” Ella nodded her head at the table. Her little face was smeared with some ketchup, but her smile was warm and bright. “I will go anywhere with Mommy, Eric, and Anne!”Irene smiled, picking up the napkin to clean Ella’s face gently. She felt sorry for her two lovely kids, but sadly, she was on a way of no return. If she was caught, not only she, both of her kids would certainly fall to endless tort/ure.“Thank you both,” she replied with a genial smile, “b
The moment Irene said that, Amelia almost yelled. “What are you talking about?! How could that be possible?!”Irene took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, then went to the shelf to fetch the wine. She found the bottle of whiskey she liked, then poured some into the glass. After taking a few sips of it, she got some energy back. She then turned and looked at Amelia.“Your father, James, was the college roommate of Jackson. They used to be very close, but gradually drifted apart after they each got their own families. 12 years ago, after hearing what happened to the Green Lake, your father drove to the Misty Forest to pay condolences to his old friend. On his way back, he ran into a wounded kid in the gas station who tried to steal food from his car. He caught that kid and found he was a wolf. And most importantly, that kid was wearing Jackson’s watch.”Amelia asked. “That kid, is he Ian?” It’s difficult to find the right word for her current feelings. Irene nodded her head. “Ye
Warning: This chapter contains disturbing violent content. If you would rather not read that, please skip from the first bolded line to the second. It won’t affect the plot.The moment Adam said that, Amelia froze on the spot. She stared at Adam as if he was some kind of death omen.Adam, though, continued without any explanation.He said, “The story went back to 12 years ago, when an extremely brutal tragedy fell upon the forest where the little wolf lived. All the other wolves in that forest were killed in that disaster, except for our little hero. He managed to escape and survive like those badass male leads in legends, and then he was adopted by a kind-hearted Alpha who had a very, very beautiful daughter. Her name was Amy.”Amelia clutched her fists.Adam went on, “The wolf should be thrilled and grateful after being adopted by such a warm-hearted Alpha who treated him as his own son, but he didn’t. Instead, he felt terrified and restless day and night. He knew he only got adopte
Right after Adam asked that question, Amelia turned and ran. She didn’t run back to the house to find her mate. She didn’t run to the forest to arrange wars with her packmates either. Instead, she ran to the bar in the middle of the little town. She pushed open the door, walked directly through the noisy crowds, and then found Jeff at the corner booth with two young girls in his arms.Seeing Amelia walking toward him, Jeff lifted his brows with a confused tone. “What are you doing—Hei!”Amelia had already caught him by his throat. She lifted him up from the booth, smashing him onto the wall, and growled, “Where the hell is Ian?!”Jeff was frightened by her, and so did the crowds. No one had expected a slender girl like her to be so strong and ferocious.They all stopped what they were doing, looking at this bizarre scene in surprise.Amelia didn’t let their amazed stares stop her. “Tell me where the hell he is?!” She tightened her grip, eyes erupting fire. Jeff found no strength o
