AMELIA’s POV….“Never mind. I’m not interested.” I stated bluntly as I made to get off the bed, but he held on to my hand as he shook his head.“Of all people, you should know that I have your best interests at heart.” He told me and I sighed as I nodded.“I know you do, and even though I don’t quite understand what you mean by keeping my powers in check, I can assure you one thing. I do not want anything to do with him. I do not want to be around him one bit, Alaric.” I said as I moved closer to him, whispering, just in case anyone was passing by.“Have you forgotten I am carrying his pup? I know because I’m half vampire, it might not happen, but what if he manages to smell his pup growing within me? What shall I do then?” I asked him and he placed his hand on my shoulder as he led me to the bed, having me sit as he ran his fingers through his hair.“You and the baby were what I thought about the most before I came up with this as a solution, so believe me when I say that no matter h

AMELIA’s POV…As I staggered through the hallway, I could see people staring at me strangely, but no one said a word about it while I passed by. Contrary to Alex’s pack, they weren’t looking down at me. They just seemed to be, I don’t know, worried for me?“Are you alright, my Lady?” A maid who was bold enough walked up to me and I nodded as what had happened earlier came back to mind, causing me to cry harder as I almost fell, but before I could, she grabbed me as she kept her tray on the table, and immediately, two other maids joined her to hold on to me.“You don’t seem to be alright. We’ll get you to your room now.” They said as they started to help me to my room as I looked around the place weakly.They helped me to the bed, tucking me in as they helped me with a glass of water.“Get some rest, my lady. You’ll be fine.” They told me and I nodded as I forced a smile even though I wasn’t really in the mood for it.“Thank you, ladies, so much. I am really grateful.” I told them as I

AMELIA’s POV….For a moment, the words got caught in my throat and I didn’t know what to say, but then, I managed to pick myself as I stared at him.“What do you mean? Our baby? What’s…..” he didn’t even let me finish speaking before he rushed to me, grabbing me off the bed as I gasped and he looked me in the eye, anger surging through him and I had to admit, this scared me because I hadn’t seen him like this.Sure, he had gotten angry many times; but he had never had this anger towards me before. I turned to Alaric and he didn’t seem to know what to say, either.“What are you doing? You’re hurting me!” I gasped in pain as he looked me right in the eye, his eyes burning with rage and I gulped in fear as Alaric rushed to him, trying to get him away from me.“What are you doing, Alexander? Let go of her! You’re going to hurt her.” He said as he tried to get Alex away from me, but Alex, without even doing as much as turning, flung Alaric across the room as he kept looking at me.“Why did

ALPHA ALEXANDER’s POV….It was the moment I had been waiting for for such a long time. I was finally alone with her and could finally ask her the things I wanted to. The things that had been bothering me.“Why did you leave me?” I asked her. No matter how hard I tried to wrap my head around it, I just couldn’t think of the main reason she left. Ariana? But Ariana had been around for longer and if she was the reason, she would have left the first time, so why?“Do you know what damage that did to me? Do you know how much it hurt? I almost went crazy, when I couldn’t feel or pick your presence around me. Do you know what it did to me?” I asked her, and just thinking of how she didn’t even stay with me, I felt my eyes water to earth and I clenched my fists.I took in a deep inhale as I moved her closer to myself. “We loved each other, so what happened? We planned to even start a family together, so why did you wake up on a certain morning, only to leave me and….” Of course, she tried to

AMELIA’s POV….I held the sword in my hand as I caressed it tips, taking in a deep breathe as I ran my fingers through my hair.“That’s strange, though, don’t you think?” I heard Alaric ask his second in command who I addressed as “beta” most times.I shook my head as I kept jumping from each side, making sure the sword moved with me from each side. This was a trick Alaric had taught me and I needed to perfect. According to him, I never knew where the attack was coming from so I needed to be very mobile.I needed to make sure my sword could move from all angles and I completely agreed with him, because I didn’t know the things I was up against. They had managed to take Alex through a portal, and as such, they could be very harmful to me, and my baby.I shook my head as thinking about my baby being in danger, fear surged through me. “Argh!” I groaned in fear as I swung the sword while I turned.“Oh, my goodness!” I heard someone scream and turning, it was Alaric.He had fallen backwar
