KADEN’S P.O.VI made sure the door was locked before I took a seat. The last thing I needed was someone walking in and overhearing something that they didn’t need to. I knew the healer since I was a child, she was the one who delivered me and she was the first to be called whenever there was an emergency. I never bothered to learn her first name and she never offered, I always referred to her as Dr. Brown. She had always been kind and softspoken but she could also be fierce when she needed to be.Most people were scared of me but she had never looked at me as anything other than her patient. She regarded me with the same soft and cool tones she reserved for her patients. Although she gave me the respect that came with my title, that was where it ended. I never got special treatment from her and for some reason, I liked it.“I don’t where to start,” for the first time, she sounded unsure. “If I talk to you, I need a promise that your mother will not come for me. She made me swear that
AMELIA’S P.O.VI was anxious for my day at school. I could already imagine the rumors going around in the rumor mill and I was terrified. A part of me still wasn’t sure if I was allowed to talk about my relationship with Kaden or not. I knew he took me out for lunch but it was in a private location. I was in uncharted territory and I had no idea how to proceed.“Everything will be fine,” Clara told me when she saw me stressing in my room.I called her in to help with my hair. I was hoping that nobody had seen us during dinner but just in case, I wanted to make sure I looked good. If I was seeing the Alpha then I needed to be presentable enough and worthy to be on his arm. I picked my prettiest top and paired it with skin tight jeans and my hair was curled then styled back.Clara dropped me off and I was in a very good mood when I got to school because I felt pretty but the moment I stepped out of the car and the whispers began, I felt uneasy. I wanted to rush back into the car but Cla
AMELIA’S P.O.VKaden kept his arms around me as he made a quick call to his receptionist and asked her to get some food for us. I couldn’t help but wonder why he didn’t just mind link her especially when she had to call to confirm what drink I wanted with my food. I kept my question to myself because I didn’t want to seem too inquisitive but when she walked into the office and smiled softly at me as she placed the plastic bags on the table, I couldn’t help but turn to Kaden.I waited until the door had shut behind me before I spoke. “Why don’t you mind link people? I have only seen you use it with Caleb. Don’t they know how to?”“They do but they can’t because they don’t have access to my link.”My brows furrowed in confusion. I cocked my head to the side but Kaden didn’t pay heed to me, he was more interested in making sure that his secretary had gotten everything he asked. I remembered him giving me access to his link so easily and I thought it was like that with everyone else.“I h
AMELIA’S P.O.VAs I watched Lucy being dragged out with hatred and anger in her eyes, I couldn’t help but feel bad for her. I would have been angry too if the man I thought I was going to be with had thrown me out of his office like nothing. I knew that Kaden had told her repeatedly that he wanted nothing to do with her but I still couldn’t help but feel a pang of hurt for her. It was embarrassing.“This is why I didn’t want you outside,” Kaden muttered as he gently grabbed my upper arm and led me back into the office.I turned to him in confusion wondering what he was talking about but he didn’t say a word until we were safely behind the doors of his office. I could see that he was a little annoyed and I knew that a part of it was directed at me.“Did I do something?” I asked hesitantly as I took a slow step back. Whenever father was upset with me, he tended to explode and although I trusted Kaden, my instincts couldn’t be ignored and they screamed at me to get away whenever a powerf
KADEN’S P.O.VI dropped Amelia off at school for the first time since we started seeing each other. She tried to discourage me from the idea but I was set on it. I didn’t want to hide her, I wanted everyone to know that she was the one I had chosen. For a second, I worried there was another reason she didn’t want me dropping her off but she assured me that she just didn’t want people to stare.At the end of the day, she agreed and she had her face buried in her hands the entire time. Her cheeks were red from the moment we got into the parking lot and they got worse when I kissed her deeply not caring who was watching. I saw the looks of shock and interest on the faces of the students but I didn’t care much about it. I waited until she had gotten into the building before I drove off.I immediately drove towards the hospital. All through last night, I couldn’t stop thinking about what I had been told. I had a feeling there was more to the story than what Dr. Brown was telling me and sin
AMELIA’S P.O.VWhen Caleb came to pick me yesterday, I was worried. He took me straight to the office without a word and drove off. I waited for Kaden to arrive but his office remained empty and it didn’t matter who I asked, no one knew where he had gone. I tried to reach him via his mind link but his wall was firmly down and nothing I did would budge it.When Caleb came to pick me up after, I had asked where Kaden was. His response was that Kaden was fine but it didn’t put me at ease. Even though Caleb didn’t say it verbally, I knew he also wasn’t aware of Kaden’s whereabouts. I had never worried for a person the way I worried for him and it was very obvious because I could barely eat my food.“He is fine,” Clara tried to assure me when she saw me playing around with my food. “Kaden is more than capable of looking after himself.”“I know he is,” I said softly but that didn’t stop me from worrying.Most of my worry was about him but there was a tiny part of me that couldn’t help but w
KADEN’S P.O.VI knew it was wrong to put her on the spot like that but I needed to know whether she still felt for the boy. I watched her every move carefully while trying to maintain the façade of sadness and guilt because the truth was that I didn’t care what happened to Blake or anyone else from that pack as they didn’t directly influence Amelia.In fact, when Caleb told me last night that Blake had mated with Brittany, I was filled with relief. The relief was so palpable on my face that Caleb had to remind me of his past with Amelia and how she might feel about it. It put me in a bad mood which was why I didn’t go to see her all day. I kept trying to remind myself that there was no way she could still feel anything for him after being with me but the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it was possible.When she walked into my office, I was filled with so much frustration that I lashed out at her but I quickly realized it wasn’t the right way to go about the situation
AMELIA’S P.O.VAnger burned through me the entire way home and it wasn’t until I got to bed that it was more disappointment than anger. I had hoped we had gotten past Blake but it seemed like it bothered Kaden more than he cared to admit. I understood that Blake was a major part of my life but I couldn’t believe that he thought I would still want him after everything that had happened between us.I still cared for Blake, it was obvious considering what we had been through but it was not in the same way that I did for Kaden. What I felt for Kaden could not be explained into words. It was mind blowing and all consuming. The only reason I stayed quiet when he mentioned Blake was because a part of me was relieved and I was thinking about the bond between us and whether it would be broken since he had mated with Brittany. I was having a silent conversation with my wolf but he took it as something else.I couldn’t stand to be around anyone because I knew my mood was volatile so I spent the
