Hey everyone! Please review and leave a gem for this chapter 😊 Thank you!
The moment he stepped into the borders of the pack he sensed that something was wrong. It was dead silent. He couldn't even hear the usual distant noises of the market. It was strange and almost felt like he missed his way and wasn't where he was supposed to be. Walking into the pathway leading to the village, his footsteps echoed around, coupled with the rattling noise of leaves on the ground. He walked past the guards standing at the border, his brows knitted in confusion at the weird atmosphere. Something was wrong. This doesn't happen in the pack, only when a member- he stopped abruptly on hjs tracks. Only when a member of the pack dies. What the hell happened here? Without wasting any more time, he began walking faster. Who could've died? The alpha's human mate? No, they did not plan on killing her soon. But what if she was the one. The quietness of the village made him know it was someone very important or precious to the pack that died. Well, there was only one way to f
"There." Rieka stretched out her hands passing the cup of tea to Amelia. "Thanks."Amelia gave a small smile and took it from her, taking a sip from it. "You look like shit." Rieka moved beside her, plopping down on the sofa. "What?" Amelia snapped her head to her, raising her brows in confusion. "Yeah, you look like shit." Rieka smiled and crossed her right leg, fully facing her. Amelia chuckled, taking her eyes to the cup in her hands. "Maybe." She replied in a low voice. "Amy, I understand how you feel about Winter's demise, but you really need to woman up." "Woman up." Amelia laughed, pushing her hair from her face. "Yeah, come on. I won't say I'm not hurt but we have to focus on the future, on the safety of the pack, cause this is much evidence that there's danger in the pack. Probably a traitor within us. We shouldn't be weak now." "Hmm, it's hard focusing." Amelia twitched her lips, slowly stirring the tea. "You have too." "Well, that would be better if I have no idea
"No, no. We can't tell Sebastian about it." Amelia opposed, shaking her head vehemently. "We can't, it's gonna ruin everything." "Then what do we do?" Rieka asked, stretching both arms out. She just came up with a suggestion of telling Sebastian about Ana. That was the only thing she could think of. He was the alpha, it'd be better if he handles this. He was surely wiser than they are. "Come up with a good plan. Like you said." She replied and ran her fingers through her hair, heaving out a deep heavy sigh before adding. "A good plan that doesn't involve telling Sebastian." She rolled her eyes as she said those words. "Like?" Rieka folded her arms and quirked her brows, staring at Amelia with a dry look on her face. "I suspect Ana very much. I think she has a lot we don't know of, going in her freaking head." Amelia explained, looking exasperated. Frustrated. Anyone, name it. It was hard keeping up with Winter's death. She wanted to speak again but stopped and looked around cauti
"The poison signifies a threat." Odwolf continued, staring straight at Sebastian. "The people won't feel safe anymore, we have to find the killer.""That's true. We must find the killer." Boris spoke, supporting Odwolf's idea.Soon the hall became noisy again as they kept bringing in different suggestions, both wrong and right.Sebastian could swear he was tired of sitting here, listening to them bicker."Enough!" They all went silent when a deep authoritative voice of Adolphus rang throughout the room. "The alpha's trying to think here and you all bickering like old babies, ain't helping at all."It was then they all took their eyes to Sebastian, who sat still, not saying a word."Alpha." Boris was the first person to speak after a few seconds of silence. "Why don't we shift this to tomorrow? It's late already.." Adolphus suggested raising his brows at them before taking his gaze to Sebastian.Sebastian stared at them for a few minutes before nodding his head in approval. "Good, no
After her training session with Rieka, Amelia spent the rest of the day at the castle taking several walks around. She went to the garden and picked a lot of flowers, giving them to the children at the village. It made her very happy to see their faces lit up in excitement.She also went to the kitchen, offering to help Madam Loretta with some work, though she politely refused, saying she was the alpha's mate and should not be seen doing things like this. Nevertheless, she remained at the castle, bored and alone, trying to busy herself with irrelevant things.Well, it was all because she was waiting for him, Sebastian. She waited till evening, hoping she'd see him after the meeting was over.A few minutes ago, she heard he had returned to his room. That was the news she'd been waiting for all evening. Without wasting much time, she left the garden where she was heading back into the castle.To be honest, she has missed him. Though he hardly talks to her, she has really missed his frow
*The Next Day*Sebastian had woken up very early this morning and did all the important paperworks he had to do. It was because he had some very important research to do today. He hurriedly got dressed and walked out of the room, heading down the stairs.He walked out of the castle, heading straight to the training field where he guessed she might be."Rieka." He called as he walked up to her, after sighting her at the end of the field."Hey." She greeted briefly, picking up an arrow."I need to talk to you." He spoke, staring at her as she placed the arrow on the bow, gently."I'm always available." She replied without looking at her. "You're the one who's always busy." She added and glanced at him before taking her eyes back to the bow.Sebastian heaved out a deep sigh before speaking. "I need to talk to you about Amelia.""Hmm, okay. Go on." She simply replied without even sparing him a glance, drawing the arrow back."Rieka, I need your attention." Sebastian spoke exasperatedly.
"Wakey, wakey sleeping beauty. Rise and shine! Your prince in- oops!" Rieka chuckled and walked to the window, drawing the curtains open. Amelia groaned and picked up a pillow, placing it over her face to shield her fro the bright rays of sunlight coming from the window. "Hey come on, wake up." Rieka plopped down on the bed beside her, bouncing softly. "Hey, wake up." She rolled her eyes when Amelia did not respond but only let out small groans. She smirked, raising her brows before she lifted her right hand and smakedher butt. "Ow!" Amelia jerked up from the bed with eyes wide open in surprise, rubbing the spot. "What was that for?" She whined, pouting her lips. "A wake up smack." Rieka replied, letting her lip stretch into a wide grin. "Ugh!" Amelia plopped back on the bed, looking up at the ceiling. "Hey get up, go have your bath and get dress up. We're going out." Rieka announced with a smiled plastered on her face. "Where?" Amelia sat up on the bed quickly, using her hands
Rieka simply chuckled and when Amelia turned away from her. She mouthed 'smile' to Sebastian with a warning look on her face. Then she placed her hand on the small of Amelia's back pushing her gently "Go, it's your evening." She whispered. Amelia moved slowly to the table, twisting her hands together. Geez! She never expected this. She never even thought about this. This is a better definition of unbelievable. The decorations were perfect. The flowers? Just how she loved it. And the candles made it look really romantic. Now she understood why they waited till evening. So the candles lit the garden. It was nearly dark but the dim lights from the candles made it perfect. Couples with the fresh scents of flowers from the garden. It made her feel thousands of butterflies in her stomach. When she was nearer to the table, Sebastian stood up and drew a chair back for her, in a gentleman-like manner. Heavens. This is pure romance. She heaved out a deep sigh as soon as she was seated, then
