Kayden's povThe moment I went to my study, I heaved in relief. I don't know what was going on, but I was really scared. My heartbeat drummed hard, and I didn't need anyone to tell me that I was panicking again. I looked around my study, and found a bottle of whiskey, which I grabbed, downing the content of the glass.I didn't care about the amount of alcohol there, and what it could do to me. My throat dangled as I downed the content of the bottle.As soon as I was done, I wiped my lips with the back of my hands, waiting for the drink to take effect.I didn't know how long I stayed there, but I got a mind link from my beta, telling me that he was back with my assignment.A smirk plastered on my lips.“Take him to the torture room, and offer him a seat. I'm on my way…” I explained, pushing myself up from the seat. It had been a while and I wanted to see if she was awake first. Making her watch her step father suffer was a good punishment for the both of them.Amelia was a really c

Amelia's pov.I stood there a little puzzled by what was going on. Worry clouded me, and I was scared about the whole thing.The place where I stood was a meadow, and I seemed lost on how to go back home.“Hello!” I yelled, but only my echoes returned to me. My heart sank down to my ribcage.If only I knew where I was, then maybe I would have been able to find my way back home.“Hello, anyone here?” I asked in the hope of getting someone's attention. However, I heard someone familiar call my name.“Amelia?” The same echoed, causing me to turn towards her with worry.“Mother?!” I exclaimed widening my eyes as I rushed towards her with happiness.My arms were wrapped around her with a smile on my face as I sobbed. “My darling…” she said softly, rubbing my back as I cried like there was no tomorrow.“Don't cry, darling, please…” she begged with tears in her eyes, making me aware that there was definetely something wrong. Once I pulled away from the hug, I noticed that my dress had chan

Amelia's pov.I was in the room, pondering on what had just happened. I didn't know what was going on. He had sent me out of the bathroom, and refused my touch.I thought he was pleased with me, we were having fun…The thought alone caused me to be broken.I didn't know what else to do because I was really confused, but I hoped that things would get better because I was confused on how things went.I got into the bathroom, and made sure to clean up after what we did.Then I laid on my bed to rest a little because I was exhausted, and hurt.I didn't expect him to even do that kind of a thing to me. I was worried, but then I pushed everything away. I was already tired, and the medications I received were making me feel weird.I was so tired, and my eyes were extremely heavy. I didn't know what was going on, but I could tell something was definitely wrong.My heart was heavy, and I tried my best to do what I could.My mom told me he loved me, so I was just gonna to trust the process.

Amelia's POV Kayden's arms were wrapped tightly around me, his hands gripping my waist and back almost painfully. But the pressure reassured me that I was safely out of harm's way. As his panic gradually subsided, I became aware of strange stirrings within myself. My mind was clear again yet emotions played in my chest that did not seem my own - anger, outrage, a fierce protective urge. I glanced up at Kayden's face, taking in the silver glint of his eyes and twisted snarl. There was no mistaking the anger that was emanating from his rigid frame. When I was falling just few minutes ago from the stairs, I was scared.. terrible. Last of me didn't want to die, another part wanted to find out what was going to happen when I fall. But what I was feeling now was something different… there was anger. I wasn't angry at Ramona, I barely even knew her, what I felt was a shock surprise… why was she going to kill me, she didn't even know me yet. The anger that I was feeling, wasn't mine.

Amelia's POV The knock echoed through the room, my heart leaped in anticipation. Could it be him? Alpha Kayden, coming back to check on me, perhaps to offer some explanation or reassurance? I hurriedly stood up, my mind racing with the possibilities.Raising the hem of my dress slightly, I let my thighs peek out, a subconscious gesture of allure. Then, with a quick adjustment, I pulled down the neckline of my dress, amplifying the curve of my breasts. Every movement was calculated, a silent invitation for his attention.Rushing towards the door, my heart pounded with excitement. I couldn't wait to see him again, to feel his presence close to mine. My hand trembled slightly as I reached for the handle, anticipation thrumming through my veins.As the door swung open, my breath caught in my throat, but the sight that greeted me was not what I expected. Instead of Alpha Kayden's imposing figure, it was my maid standing before me, her eyes wide with surprise."Miss Amelia," she exclaimed
