His hands moved across my body with precision, leaving a trail of heat in their wake. My breath hitched as his touch grew more insistent, his fingers exploring every curve and contour with skillful expertise.I felt a surge of desire coursing through me as his hands found their way to my breasts, his touch sending bolts of electricity racing through my veins.

Amelia's POVAlpha Kayden began walking out of the room, I couldn't let the moment pass without addressing the unspoken tension between us. "You didn't deny it, you just avoided the question," I said, my voice firm, despite my thoughts telling me to stop. He stopped in his tracks, his posture rigid as he turned around to face me. His eyes bore into mine, cold and calculating. "Repeat what you said," he commanded, his tone sharp and authoritative.I took a deep breath, steeling myself for his reaction. "I said, you didn't deny it," I repeated, my voice steady despite the nervous fluttering in my chest. "You avoided the question."Before I could finish speaking, he was in front of me, his eyes ablaze with a fierce intensity that sent a shiver down my spine. "Shit," I muttered under my breath, realizing too late that I had overstepped my bounds.He took my hand roughly, bringing it up to my face as he studied me intently.

Amelia's POV I slowly opened my eyes, I felt something familiar lying on my chest. It was my favorite bead necklace, but it wasn't as soft as I remembered. I sighed, the weight of it feeling strangely heavy against my skin.The smell of the room was different too, no longer familiar but antiseptic, like a hospital. I blinked, trying to adjust to the dim lighting, and could hear the silent beep of a machine nearby. It felt surreal, like I had been transported to another world.Suddenly, the lights came on, and I winced, covering my eyes with my hand. "Fuck!" I exclaimed, the brightness almost blinding me.A figure approached me, and as my eyes adjusted, I realized it was a doctor. He wasn't smiling as he walked towards me, and I knew instantly that something was wrong."Good morning, Miss Amelia," he said softly, his voice calculated and clinical. "How are you feeling?"I tried to sit up, but he gently held my hands, preventing me from moving. "You had a bad fall," he continued, his t
Alpha Kayden's POVI walked through the dim hallways of the palace, the crazy things that had already happened so early, pressing down on my shoulders like a heavy burden. My steps were heavy, my movements sluggish as I made my way towards my chambers.My eyes were heavy, I had barely gotten any kind of sleep.The events of the past few hours replayed in my mind like a broken record, each moment more infuriating than the last. How could she say that… that there is something between us? The mere thought of it made my blood boil with anger and frustration."She's just like any other person," I muttered under my breath, my voice laced with annoyance. "She doesn't know anything."But deep down, a small voice nagged at the back of my mind, whispering doubts and insecurities that I couldn't ignore. What if she was right? What if there was something more between us, something I couldn't explain or control?I shook my head, trying to banish the thoughts from my mind. It was ridiculous, absur
Amelia's POVThe doctor's hand rested in mine, I looked at him, silently whispering my inten, but without words. He seemed to understand, his eyes widening in realization."You can't be serious," he exclaimed softly, his voice filled with disbelief. "Do you have any idea what you're asking me to do? That could cost me my life."I sat up, determination coursing through me. "I know," I replied firmly, meeting his gaze head-on. "I'm not the kind of person who asks for favors, but all I'm asking is for you to delay the news about my pregnancy for a little while longer."The doctor sighed, rubbing his temples as if trying to ward off an impending headache. "Why?" he asked, his tone tinged with frustration. "Why do you even want that?"I hesitated, knowing that if I tried to explain, he might not understand. "It's complicated," I replied quickly, unable to put my feelings into words."How long do you want me to keep it a secret?" he pressed, his voice edged with impatience."Just for a few
Amelia's POVI slowly opened my eyes, feeling groggy and disoriented. It took me a moment to remember where I was – lying in the infirmary, surrounded by sterile white walls and the faint scent of antiseptic. It seemed I had been asleep for a while, my body finally succumbing to the exhaustion that had plagued me for days.With a deep breath, I sat up in bed, feeling the dull ache of needles in my skin. Grimacing, I reached out and pulled the IV needle from my arm, wincing at the sharp sting of pain.“Fuck!.” I exclaimed softly. As I stood up, a wave of dizziness washed over me, but I shook it off, determined to find some answers. Walking towards the door, I pushed it open slowly, the hinges creaking softly in protest.The hallway outside was dimly lit, the soft glow of overhead lights casting long shadows along the walls. "Hello, is anyone there?" I called out, my voice echoing faintly down the empty corridor.But there was no response, only the sound of my own voice reverberating t
Amelia's POVI felt a rush of adrenaline coursing through me as I scrambled to my feet, my heart pounding in my chest. But before I could regain my balance, Alpha Kayden's beta, Julius, rushed towards me, his large hands reaching out to steady me."Are you alright?" he asked, his voice filled with concern as he helped me up.I nodded, unable to tear my eyes away from Alpha Kayden's retreating figure. His sudden dismissal had caught me off guard, leaving me feeling raw and exposed.As Julius released me, I took a hesitant step forward, my gaze lingering on Alpha Kayden's back.

"How are you feeling?"I sighed, the weight of his question
Amelia's POV He winced and smiled painfully, he reassured me, "You don't need to be sorry. I had it coming." His voice was filled with exhaustion and resignation. He touched my arm lightly, guiding me to sit on the bedTaking a deep breath, I listened as the doctor continued, his tone grave. "Even though I would like to help you, I can't keep your pregnancy a secret for long. You've seen how cruel Alpha Kayden can be."I nodded, understanding the seriousness of the situation. "Don't worry," I replied softly. "You won't have to keep it a secret for long."The doctor smiled faintly, a hint of relief crossing his features.
