Amelia's POV"Do you want me to escort you to your chamber?" He said softly, I turned to look at him for the first time that evening and he smiled, probably trying to calm me down, but it wasn't working. I hesitated for a moment, then nodded. I didn't want it to seem like I was pushing him away, I didn't want to give anyone a reason to feel terrible. Waylen placed his hand gently on my back, guiding me through the winding hallways towards my room. The warmth of his touch was comforting, and I found myself leaning slightly into him as we walked. He pressed his hand tightly against my back, and then shifted it downwards towards my waist. When we reached the door to my chamber, Waylen turned to me. For a moment we stood facing each other without saying anything. "Amelia, if you need anything at all, please don't hesitate to let me know. I'm going to place a few guards outside your door, just to ensure your safety." He said as he broke the silence. I looked up at him, a small smile
Amelia's POVMy heart was pounding in my chest as I made my way through the winding hallways towards Alpha Waylen's chamber. The conversation I had with Freya had left me unsettled, and I needed answers. Something wasn't right, and I couldn't shake the feeling that Waylen was hiding something from me.I reached in front of the room, took a deep breath to steady my nerves. Raising my hand, I knocked gently, my pulse quickening with each passing second. The door swung open after a while. "Amelia," he said softly, his eyes scanning through me "I wasn't expecting you….yet, Is everything alright?"I offered him a small smile, trying to hide the storm of emotions that I was feeling inside. "I... I hope I'm not disturbing you, Alpha Waylen," I began, my voice barely above a whisper. "But I was hoping we could continue our conversation from earlier.Waylen's expression softened, and he stepped aside, gesturing for me to enter. "Of course, my dear. Please, come in."I stepped into the roo
Amelia's POVI rushed out of Alpha Waylen's chamber, I could feel my heart racing and my palms becoming sweaty. I quickly pressed my back against the wall, trying to steady my breathing. I had expected Alpha Waylen to come after me when I rushed out of the room, and tried to convince me further, but he didn't and that was totally fine with me. I stood there, my mind twisting and turning and trying to make sense of everything he had just told me. I totally understood everything from his point of view, but marrying him was something that felt too much and I wondered to myself if my reaction to his proposal would have been different if he didn't pin it to what was happening with Alpha Chad and Kayden. It was so easy to use circumstances as an excuse to get what you want and I felt like that was what he was doing. Closing my eyes, I took a deep breath willing my nerves to calm. I couldn't stay here, not with Alpha Waylen's words still playing through my mind and with the possibility
Alpha Kayden's POV“Are you sure we shouldn't force our way in?” Julius asked impatiently. I turned to look at him with a calm smile on my face. And for a moment, one would think that he was the one fighting for Amelia himself. But he was fighting for me, and I couldn't blame him for feeling the way I should.. it would. “I don't think we have to do that.” I whispered under my breath. Even if I was desperately thinking about that, I also had it in mind that our initial plan was still in motion. “And after this..what are you going to do?”Julius asked. I chuckled at his enthusiasm. He just had a child and I knew that he was desperate for me to experience the same. “We can't think of that now can we?” He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair."That cheating bastard.” He muttered, refreshing to Alpha Waylen. I looked around and sighed, the woods were now completely transformed into our own camp. I was not going to leave this place until I see Amelia and leave with her. I
Alpha Waylen's POVI stared into space, my mind replaying Amelia's expression, and her hasty exit from my chambers. It has almost been an hour since she left, and the silence was deafening. I had watched her calmly as she rushed out, avoiding the question I had asked her about not once, but twice. A small smile tugged at the corners of my lips as I played through her reaction in my mind. “Fuck” I muttered and stood up from where I was. I walked sluggishly towards the small bar in the corner of my room. I scanned through and then selected a bottle of premium whiskey.I unscrewed the cap and without the patience of pouring myself a glass, I brought it to my lips, taking a long satisfying gulp. The liquid burned as it went down my throat, but I didn't mind. I hoped that it cleared my mind and replaced the almost overwhelming feeling in my chest. "So, this is how you want to play it, Amelia?" I murmured to myself, the words echoing with a hint of frustration. "After all I've done fo
Alpha Waylen's POV The knock interrupted my thoughts, and I let out a frustrated sigh and walked towards the door, grabbed the knob and yanked it open with more force than necessary. To my surprise, it was Luke, standing on the other side. "What is it?" I demanded, my voice low and firm. “Alpha.” He muttered and moved forward, I sighed and let him, as I walked back into the room.His eyes widened slightly as he saw the state of the room, the shattered glass and the strong smell of alcohol. “I just wanted to check In to see if everything is alright.” He whispered. “It seems you're busy.” He added rather sarcastically. I frowned and faced him. “Is that supposed to be funny?” My face was dangerously close to his and I could feel his long, scared breath. “I'm sorry.” He whispered an apology swiftly. I studied him for a moment, wondering if I should tell him about my concerns regarding Amelia. But then I decided against it - this was a personal matter, and I didn't want to risk
Amelia's POVI scoffed, slightly surprised that Alpha Kayden uttered those words. "You love me?" I repeated, my voice dripping with sarcasm. "That's rich, coming from the man who forced me to run for my life."Kayden flinched at my harsh words, but he didn't back down. "Amelia, please just hear me out," he pleaded, taking a step closer to me.I took a step back, holding up my hand to keep him at a distance. "No, Kayden. I don't want to hear your excuses. You made it perfectly clear three years ago that you wanted nothing to do with me, even after I tried to explain.” He shook his head, I looked down and I saw that his hands were twitching. I had never seen him like that before. "That's not true, Amelia. I was a fool, a coward. I let my pride and my position blind me to what was truly important."I rolled my eyes, crossing my arms over my chest. "Oh, so now you're admitting that you were wrong? Forgive me if I don't exactly buy it."Kayden took a deep breath, running a hand through h
Alpha Waylen's POVI stood quietly in the shadows of the dense forest, watching the scene unfold before me with a mixture of shock and disbelief. My mouth hung open as I observed Alpha Kayden pull Amelia into his embrace and press his lips against hers. Part of me wanted to rush out and tear them apart, to show Kayden that he could not simply waltz back into Amelia's life and reclaim what was mine. But I knew I had to remain calm and collected – after all, I was an Alpha, and I needed to act as one.I ran my fingers through my hair, letting out a heavy sigh. "So this is what I get, Amelia?" I whispered softly, my voice echoing silently with a hint of bitterness and disappointment. I watched as Kayden pulled away, his eyes searching Amelia's face intently. She seemed stunned, her own eyes wide and her lips slightly parted. Then, she uttered the words that made my heart sink."I have children for you, Kayden. Triplets – two girls and a boy. He looks just like you."My fists clenched t
