Alpha Kayden's POVAs Julius delivered the news about Amelia, my heart skipped a beat, and a surge of hope and fear coursed through my veins. I turned to Ramona, who had heard Julius's words as well, and her eyes filled with tears while her expression turned sad, it was as if she knew exactly what was going to happen. I stopped and sighed, turned around and took a step towards Ramona. She in turn, rushed towards me, her hands gripping mine tightly. “I knew it.” She said with a slight tremor in her voice, her eyes digging deeply into mine. “I knew you were going to ask me to help your mate… and my answer is yes..yes Alpha Kayden I'll be your mate.” she said finally. I sighed and turned to Julius who had a surprised look on his face. I froze in place, stunned by her words. How could she have known? I rolled my eyes, as I tried to figure out how she came to that conclusion, even though it was true. “How…how did you know?.” I asked with a slight stutter. “I didn't say anything abou
Alpha Waylen's POVI sat outside, on the balcony of the palace. My eyes scanning through the pack. It had almost been three years since I sent my Beta Luke, to check if anyone, especially Alpha Kayden, was looking for Amelia. So far there had been no sign of them. I sighed and leaned back in my chair, Inhaling the fresh air. In the most unexpected way, Amelia and her children had become the most important part of my life, except for her son of course. If there was anything I could do not to show that I hated him, I would. I felt uneasy, to think of the fact that Amelia might find out about how I truly feel about her son, who was a replica of his father. Just then, the gates of the pack opened, causing a small stir among everyone. I squinted my eyes to get a better look, and then I spotted him. “Alpha chad.” I muttered under my breath with delight. I could see he was surrounded by a group of imposing escorts. Alpha chad was from the silver moon pack, a neighborhood ally. I wat
Alpha Waylen's POVI sighed and fixed my shirt, adjusting my collar to cover up the bruise which had left a scar. As I approached the hall where the meeting was supposed to take place, I could already hear the sound of chattering, and with each step I took, it grew louder. The low hum of voices echoed through the wall, mingling with the clinking of glasses and the occasional burst if laughter. I stopped in my tracks and took a deep breath. “Fuck this.” I said quietly and then I pushed open the heavy doors and stepped into the room. Instantly the chatter stopped and all eyes turned towards me, I scanned the room for a moment to find the familiar faces. My eyes fell in Luke, who stood near my chair he smiled nervously and nodded with a mixture of excitement and curiosity. Then my attention shifted to Alpha Chad, who was seated comfortably in the middle of the room, his posture confident and his eyes fixed on me, his piercing green eyes held a hint of amusement, as if he knew somet
Alpha Waylen's POVI watched as Alpha Chad's eyes remained intensely in Amelia, a hint of fascination and curiosity burning through his gaze. My instincts told me that his interest in her went beyond mere curiosity, and it made me uncomfortable. "What are you looking at?" I asked Alpha Chad, my voice echoing with a mixture of caution and curiosity. His smile widened, and he turned his attention back to me."Alpha Waylen, my dear friend, you just told me that you're not married, and these beautiful children aren't yours," he replied, his voice echoing with sarcasm and mocking intelligence. "So, my best guess is that this lovely damsel doesn't belong to anyone. And I must say, she has caught my attention."I felt a jolt of frustration boil through me and I turned my attention to Amelia who was now holding her children, her eyes remained on her kids as though the rest of us didn't matter. “What's your name angel?.” Alpha Chad asked her directly, his eyes digging deep into her. Ameli
Alpha Waylen's POV“You can't be serious.” Alpha Chad said under his breath. I could see that he was slightly getting offended, just like I was, but he kept his calm. The room fell into an eerie silence as Alpha Chad's words hung in the air. My mind raced, processing the audacity of his proposition. How could he suggest such a thing? Amelia was not just anyone that could be traded for the sake of an alliance. My protective instincts flared up again, and I became even more annoyed. I stood up abruptly, my fists clenched and my voice echoing with intent. "I will not repeat myself," I said loudly, my tone cutting through the silence. "Amelia and her children are under my protection, and I will not entertain any suggestion that suggests differently or reduces her to a bargaining chip. Alpha Chad's smile faded, and he looked at me with a mix of surprise and annoyance. "What's gotten into you, Alpha Waylen? I merely made a suggestion," he said calmly, his voice echoing with frustrati
Alpha Waylen's POVI leaned closer to Luke, my voice barely above a whisper. I looked around the room to make sure that no one else could overhear our conversation. “What do you need, Alpha?” He asked, his voice low just like mine. "I want you to keep a close eye on Alpha Chad and his men," I instructed. "I don't trust his motives, and I have a feeling he's up to something. I need you to watch their every move, their interactions, and report back to me any suspicious activities."Luke's brow furrowed slightly, but he didn't hesitate. "Understood, Alpha. I'll make sure to keep a close watch on them and report back to you immediately if I notice anything out of the ordinary.""Good," I said underneath my voice. It was great to have someone that I could trust"I want you to be discreet about it. Don't let them know they're being observed. We don't want to give them any reason to be on their guard.""Absolutely," Luke assured me. "I'll be like a shadow, watching their every move withou
Amelia's POV“What?.” He asked softly. His face was still close to mine and I could smell the wine in his breath. I could feel the tension in the moment, and my heart was beating faster than It ever did in a long while. “Umm…nothing.” I whispered under my breath as I pulled away even more. “I'm sorry.” I whispered again. He moved closer to me and this time he placed his hand on my arm and rubbed it softly. “I don't know how to say this Amelia… but I think I'm in love with you.”There was a brief stop and I could feel my heart pounding in my chest. “It took me tonight to realise how much I actually do and how I have been repressing this feeling… I can't stop thinking about you Amelia.” He pulled me closer to himself, his grip on my arm tightened by a bit. He placed his hand on my face again and tried to kiss me the second time. I pulled away again and sighed heavily. “I'm sorry, I can't.” I muttered. I could feel my hands shaking from the awkwardness of the situation. “Why?”
Amelia's POVI felt a shiver run down my spine as he moved even closer, his eyes fixed on mine.Suddenly, I started to back away, my heart racing. But just as I was about to turn and run, I stumbled and began to fall backwards. In a flash, Alpha Chad reached out and caught me, his strong arms wrapping around my waist to steady me."Careful there," he murmured, his face dangerously close to mine. "Wouldn't want you to hurt yourself." He said and he had the weirdest smile on his face. My whole body was rigid to his touch and the closeness of his body made me deeply uncomfortable. Mustering my courage, I pushed against his chest, trying to free myself from his grip.“Let go of me.” I said in a small whisper, my voice trembled slightly. He smiled and loosened his hold, but didn't let go completely. "Now, now, there's no need to be so tense," he said, a sinister smile playing on his lips. "I just want to get to know you better, that's all."I stared at him, my thoughts about him turning
