Aurora's p.o.v Enough was enough and that's exactly how I felt. I put on my mask well for years not showing myself. I let them abuse Amelia and I acted weak and needy to blind her over our true strength and power. But this time I wasn't going to be the quiet she-wolf that everyone thought of. I walked out of the pack house and stood in front of the warriors who were slowly getting to their feet. They looked better and I was sure their strength had been restored. Many pack members were also outside whispering and chattering to one another. I looked at the Beta then at Sherry who quickly moved behind him. She truly was a coward but I cared less about her. "I am called Aurora. I am the Alpha Queen born from the royal castle of the moon-star pack and next heiress to the throne." I said strongly making sure my dominance was lanced through my voice. The murmurs and whispers instantly died. All I could see was fear and shock on their faces. "My human was in your midst trying to live a
Ian's p.o.v"And that's an order from your alpha queen." She said.I wanted to strangle her and tell her how her words meant nothing to me but I couldn't. For some reason I found myself submitting by bearing my neck to her."Good." She whispered then stood up."Axel is badly injured just like you were. He was the one taking most of your pain in order to sustain you. He won't be able to communicate with you for the time being until his full recovery." She said as fear washed all over me."Relax, he is just asleep." She whispered as I sighed in relief."Remember my words Ian because you wouldn't like to anger me would you?" She asked, then smiled.I faced the other side angrily when I heard a loud thud.I quickly looked back and saw her laying on the ground unconscious.I moved out of bed without a second thought and carried her in my arms carefully then slowly put her on the bed and pressed my hand on her chest."She's alive." I whispered in relief when I felt her hear
Amelia's p.o.vI woke up feeling well rested. My body was relaxed and my mind very calm.I frowned when I felt a hand pull me to a hard chest. In a second I turned and came face to face with Ian. He was asleep and he looked very handsome and innocent.I frowned deeper, feeling confused. The last thing I could remember was being in a panic state at Felix's house. I was very afraid and I couldn't stop the emotions I was going through. My wolf was way angry over Chase stopping us and she couldn't seem to calm down.Wait, she took over and pushed me into our subconscious."Hey, what did you do?" I asked my wolf silently."I am not hey, I am called Aurora." She responded."Did you bring us back to Ian's pack?" I asked after looking around and noticing that we were in Ian's pack. "Yes. Our mate was badly injured and in pain, I had to take over and find him. Right now he is still recovering and having us close to him is helping him a great deal." She responded."Is that
Neo's p.o.vAs we ran through the woods I had only one thing in mind, to lead my mate to safety. My legs were hurting and my chest was aching badly.For quite a long time we continued without stopping because we knew the warriors must have noticed our disappearance yesterday.Vision was quiet and refused to talk to me or help us in any way. Despite siding with our mate he had regret over his betrayal to our alpha, that's what was eating him up."I can't run anymore." Sherry said in a whining voice for the tenth time.She stopped in her tracks, making me do the same and look at her seriously."Why should I go through all this hell?" She asked as I frowned.What exactly did she mean by that? Didn't she want to be with me?"I don't understand." I said under my breath."What's there not to understand huh? I didn't sign up for this at all. My plan was to simply kill Ian and have you take the alpha's position, not us running around like some wanted fugitive!" She spat."Sherry, it seems you
Ian's p.o.v"Alpha." Blade called softly behind me while I walked back to my bedroom.I had to get the fuck out of that basement because it was hard to watch Neo crying like a little kid and Sherry screaming out in pain and begging him to take back his rejection. It was a mess that I didn't want to involve myself in."Alpha." He called again, this time a little louder.I stopped and turned to face him."I understand that our Beta did betray you for his mate, but we all know how most pack members of other packs act towards their mates. He was under an influence of love and submission to her that's why he did all that. Neo and I never saw eye to eye at times, but when it came to you he had no reason to question nor doubt you, he was even willing to give his life for you." He said as I raised a brow."So?. What the fuck do you want me to do?" I asked coldly."Please, allow me to go in search of a witch. He won't last long with the Otis he has consumed...., and t
Ian's p.o.vFor the first time in my life, my eyes were filled with tears.As seconds turned into minutes her words began to sink in slowly."I wasn't your father's actual mate and he knew that. Because of the curse, he couldn't find his true mate, and that frustrated him a lot. He was growing old and the curse was getting worse, it was driving him insane day by day and sadly he couldn't do a thing to stop it. Besides that, he was weighed down with another worry, and that was to produce an heir to his pack." She said then took a step closer. "You see, your father knew it was a matter of time before he would fall and leave his pack without a ruler, perhaps in the hands of his enemies. He had to have an heir from any she-wolf capable of respecting him and raising his pups well, that's where I came in. He never loved nor gave me his attention. Actually, never was there a day he wanted me for anything besides his release and duty." She said sadly then continued."I w
Amelia's p.o.vI was sitting sadly on the bed with Ian resting his head on my lap.It felt very unreal yet it was real, everything was happening.When he came into my room I was a bit nervous and I did prepare myself for his bad words or commands, but then he spoke and his voice was filled with sadness and pain, I had to look at him.The words he said about being lost made me feel bad and seeing him in tears made my heart ache. No matter how badly he had treated me I couldn't just stand there and watch him break down. He needed me and Aurora felt it as well, when she whispered to me, go to him I rushed to embrace him.For half an hour he couldn't stop sobbing, even after helping him lay down he was still sobbing.There was a moment I thought it was Axel but seeing it was Ian came as a shock.Whatever it was that had happened, I knew it was beyond sad and bad to make an alpha who wouldn't treat his own mate kindly or love her break down.I didn't want to ask and I
Ian's p.o.v I groaned softly then slowly opened my eyes. My body was relaxed and the beautiful tingles I felt were making me feel at peace. I frowned for a second and smiled when I looked at Amelia who was laying next to me with her head resting on my arm. I moved my free hand without a second thought and brushed her long hair backward. "My mate." I whispered softly then froze when she shifted a bit and opened her eyes gazing into mine. I kept quiet not knowing what to say or do. Was I to greet her? Perhaps kiss her?. No, the kiss was way out of line. "Morning." She whispered with a warm smile. "Morning," I whispered back then leaned in and kissed her lips lightly. Fuck being out of line, she really looked perfect with her sleepy eyes and messy hair. When I pulled back she was staring at me with a frown on her face. I was about to ask what was wrong when she quickly sat upright and brushed her hair with her fingers, her gaze was fixed on her pajama which was wrinkled on her b
