KADEN’S P.O.VI wanted to go to Amelia but I felt like enough time had not passed yet. She hadn’t reached out and I thought she would do so at her own pace and when she felt ready. I made sure to send her flowers every morning but I never got a response back as to whether or not she got them. As I stared at her name on my screen, I had to fight the urge to click dial.A knock on my door snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked up just as Caleb walked in. Our friendship had taken a hit since what happened and I couldn’t blame him. I had hurt someone he loved and it was unforgiveable. If he was in my shoes, I wasn’t sure I would be able to forgive him either.“The guards are back in formation and the border is clear, although there have been some suspicious rogue sightings,” he rattled off the news as if he was reading it off a piece of paper. “I have asked the guards to keep an eye out and I will let you know if anything changes.”“Thank you, Caleb.”He turned on his heels to leave a

AMELIA’S P.O.VWhen we got to the house, no one was there. It was completely empty and I never banked on being alone with Kaden. It was already hard enough to be in the same car without touching him, but being in the same house was another ball game entirely because I had memories of Kaden around this house. I had memories of him in my bed and in my space and seeing him seated comfortably on the living room couch was bringing back memories that I had tried so hard to suppress.To his credit, he didn’t seem as bothered as I was. He had one leg crossed over the other and he was still slowly nursing his coffee from the café. I wasn’t sure if I was relieved or annoyed that he didn’t seem as bothered as I was. He had promised not to do more than I could handle so maybe he was just living up to his word.We waited for thirty minutes before they finally arrived and to say they were shocked to see both of us was an understatement. I was pacing the room and Kaden was seated comfortably on the

KADEN’S P.O.VI should have known that Amelia didn’t take to instructions well, I just didn’t expect for her to run headfirst into a frenzy that she knew nothing about. The border patrol had caught the man trying to sneak in. He looked like a rogue, he was dirty and his hair was matted but there was something off about him especially since he was asking about the Vibrius wolves.As Amelia rushed in, I tried to grab her but she brushed past me. I noticed that her eyes were darker than usual and that was when it hit me- her wolf was in control, not her. She made her way over to the man and analyzed him with watchful and intelligent eyes. The guards looked at me in confusion and I gestured for them to take a step back.The man was bound, he couldn’t harm her, and I didn’t want them overhearing anything they shouldn’t. Once they were out of earshot, I turned to Amelia’s wolf.“You better have a good reason for putting her in danger,” I whispered and Tara scoffed.“Amelia isn’t in danger a

BLAKE’S P.O.VWaiting patiently had always been something I did extremely well. I was naturally a patient person and I believed in the long game but I was starting to get increasingly frustrated by how long of a game this was becoming. With every passing second, it became harder not to storm that ground and take Amelia as my own but I couldn’t. That bastard, Kaden, had everything on tight lockdown.Something went on last night. One of our spies had told me that there was a disturbance at the border but it was quickly covered up and everywhere was locked tight. It was difficult to get in or out and there was no way to know what had happened.I knew of one way and that was how I ended up dialing Aiden at six in the morning. He picked up on the fourth ring and he sounded grumpy as fuck.“Is there a reason you are calling me this early?” he drawled. “What the hell is your problem? I offered to help, I didn’t sign up to be your toy.”“Are you done bitching?” I spat and he fell silent. “Wha

AMELIA’S P.O.VThe inside was gorgeous to say the least.The ceiling was so tall that I couldn’t touch it even if I stood on a table. It was completely bare but as Kaden outlined what he planned for each space, I could almost see the vision come to life. The downstairs was going to be the family room, the kitchen, the dining room and our offices. There was a wash room and a gym as well. He spoke with such excitement that I couldn’t help but feel it too.“The upstairs is even better,” he whispered to me and he pulled me up the massive spiral staircase into a massive hallway. There were three doors, one in front of us and one on either side. He pointed to the one facing us. “That will be our room. It’s huge and-”“What about the others?” I cut him off and his cheeks tinged pink. It was amusing seeing the feared Alpha with pink cheeks.“They’re going to be for our children- if or when you decide to have them.”“What if I don’t ever want kids?”He didn’t hesitate. “Then we won’t have kids
