It had been two days since Aleah left Maxmillian's house. All processes to reach her proved abortive. Maxmillian and Amelia moved on with their daily life. The injury Isla incurred on Amelia had completely healed. For some reason, they were expecting another shape-shifter which Grace was going to send to show up again, but unfortunately, none of them did."What do you think she will be up to this time around?" Amelia questioned Maxmillian while they were back for breakfast."No idea. But Grace is definitely up to something, I can sense it." Maxmillian replied."She should give up already. I am so fed up", Amelia said."She isn't one to give up easily. If she is, she would have forgotten about me a long time ago. Whatever she is planning, is not good at all." Maxmillian added.Just while Maxmillian and Amelia were having their discussion, Maxmillian's phone rang. "Hello?" He said, answering his call."Good morning sir." The person on the other side of the phone greeted me. His name is
"You signed all your life work under your wife's name?" Alexander questioned rhetorically.Maxmillian smirked. "I'm glad you are now begining to see her as my wife," he said."Alexander Monroe," Amelia called out, walking directly to him where he sat. Shivers ran down his spine just by seeing Amelia alone. He couldn't control his heart race, he became numb instantly. "Your heart is beating faster than usual now," Amelia told him. "For someone whom you claim you love, you know how to make her feel pain," Amelia told her."What...what are you talking about?" Maxmillian stammered."On two occasions you have sent two different shape-shifters to come hunt us. The last girl did a clean job leaving injuries on my body. I hope she rot in hell." Amelia said."That was the handwork of my mum." Alexander lied. "Although she didn't send the girl to attack you.""Oh, which means you are aware," Amelia said."I would never hurt you intentionally, Amelia. I wouldn't do that. You know how I feel a
"Have you started reading the book Aleah gave you?" Amelia asked Maxmillian as they got back home, hours after saving the company from Alexander."No. Not yet." Maxmillian replied.It was already dusk. Their ride back home was calm and quiet. For some reason, Amelia was so angry with her husband that she couldn't even look at him.As soon as they got home, she flung her purse on the couch. Staring at Maxmillian aggressively."How did you know Alexander was around?" Maxmillian asked."So we now keep secrets from each other?" Amelia asked back."Secrets? What are you talking about?" Maxmillian asked, looking confused."Before you left, you had no intention of telling me what was wrong. If I had not trailed you, I wouldn't have found out about Alexander's return." Amelia added."I had no idea he was back either. I wanted to keep you safe...""You have been trying to keep me safe since we got married. How has that worked out for you? If not for your sister, I would have died the other day
After a long chase, Alexander didn't succeed in catching the shape-shifter who attacked Amelia. He came to the spot where the incident had happened, and saw Amelia, lying helplessly and unconsciously on the floor. He carried her up and took her to his house. At about 11 pm in the night. Amelia was not back home. Maxmillian began calling her phone, but there was no response since she was still unconscious.Maxmillian Knight became worried sick. He was restless, he had no idea where she would be or where she would go to. He knew she had no friends. He sent a few of his guards whom he had recently employed to go in search of his wife. Maxmillian began pacing from one corner of his compound to another. Hoping that Amelia would just pop out of nowhere. He understood they had a misunderstanding before she left, every word she said to him kept ringing out loud in his head. He saw the guards he had sent to search for her approaching him without Amelia. "Where is she? Where is my wife?" Max
"The Alpha." Melissa cried out, startled that she was before the Alpha. "Leave us, Melissa," Alexander commanded.Melissa couldn't get her eyes off Maxmillian. Her jaw dropped. She saw a lot of Alexander in Maxmillian. Their voices were alike. Their body posture was the same. "I said LEAVE!!!" Alexander roared, sending shivers down Melissa's spine. She ran out of the room immediately. "What are you doing with my wife?" Maxmillian asked."Me?" Alexander smirked. "No, no, no, I didn't do anything. I haven't done anything yet actually, I have just been staring at her beautiful skin from afar." Alexander said. "I must compliment you, Maxmillian knight, you are doing a great job taking care of our woman." "Our?!!! Have you gone nut, Alexander? She is my wife, my woman, my Luna, Mine alone. I won't share with you or anyone, it's high time that got stuck into your head," Maxmillian said angrily."Your woman? You can't even protect her," Alexander said."What? I'm guessing it's the secon
The night was long. Maxmillian had retired to bed with Amelia, but he found it hard to sleep. He cuddled Amelia sweetly, wrapping her around his arm, so she could feel warm. "Why haven't you slept?" Amelia quietly."I can't sleep" Maxmillian replied."Why is that? What is troubling you?" Amelia questioned again, turning to face Maxmillian."I just feel weird about all of these things going on. I can't even take care of my son properly because it's not safe. Every day, I go to see him, watching him from afar. But he dont see me. I wish I could have two of you in here without worrying about anything," Maxmillian said."I am sorry about everything I said earlier this evening. I know you are trying to protect us....""But I am not doing a good job," Maxmillian cuts in. "I would die if anything happen to you, Amelia. Yes, you know I love you, but you have no idea how much I love you. I can't lose you, I want us to grow old together for a very long time." Maxmillian said."Then let me fig
Aleah went upstairs to check on Amelia, who had been wide awake hearing everything Aleah told her husband.Aleah knocked on the bedroom door of Maxmillian's room, thinking Amelia wasn't awake."You can come in" Amelia said."Hey... Amelia? How are you doing?" Aleah asked."I'm feeling better." She said, sitting up on the bed."Maxmillian told me everything that happened between you and Alexander yesterday. Are you sure you are alright? Did Alexander say anything to you? Anything weird, did he hurt you?" Aleah asked curiously. "No, he didn't," Amelia replied."Did you get to see this werewolf in question?" Aleah questioned her. "I can find her.""It was fully shifted, Aleah, I couldn't see the face. It was really dark." Amelia answered. "I wish I had been there. It wouldn't have seen the light of the day" Aleah grudged.Amelia kept staring Aleah. Feeling excited inside of her. "I'm so glad you are back," Amelia said."Me too. But I won't be staying for long, I have got work to do,"
Alexander picked up his phone to call his mother, and to tell her about the latest update. "What did you say?" Grace asked, sounding so shocked. "A book about shape-shifters? I have never heard of it." She said."Me neither. I never thought there would be such a book," Alexander replied."You need to get your hands on that book, and you need to do it fast Alex. If that book truly exists, then all of us are doomed." Grace suggested. "How did they come across that book in the first place? If Maxmillian had such a book, we would have known. Don't you think?" Grace said."I was told that Maxmillian's sister came around," Alexander added."Who?" Grace questioned curiously."Her name is Aleah.""Aleah? I have never heard of such name before," Grace said."Well, according to my source, he said she happens to be Maxmillian's elder sister. I think she was the one who killed Isla. She might be a dangerous mom," Alexander said."This is getting serious. Do you want me to come over? I can send m
