*Amelia*

Hot tears streamed down my cheeks as I stormed into the dimly lit bar, my heart pounding with fury. The man I’d been married to for two years, Adrian, was sitting there with another woman, his lips pressed against hers as if the world outside didn’t exist. Tonight was supposed to be our anniversary—a celebration of our love—yet here he was, entangled with someone else.

I’d doubted my friend when she called to tell me she’d seen Adrian with another woman. I’d trusted him. But now, standing in the bar’s smoky haze, there was no denying the truth.

Without hesitation, I marched toward him, my voice trembling with anger. “Adrian, what is going on here?”

He froze, his lips still hovering close to hers, and turned to face me. His expression shifted from shock to guilt in an instant.

“Amelia, what are you doing here?” he stammered as he stood, but my gaze had already shifted to the woman. When I saw her face, my breath caught in my throat. It was Mara, Adrian’s ex-mate.

The woman who had abandoned him two years ago—the one who chose another Alpha over him because Adrian hadn’t shifted into his wolf. The same woman who shattered his heart when he was at his lowest. And now she was back?

I clenched my fists, my voice sharp. “So this is why you didn’t come home for our anniversary? To rekindle things with her?”

Adrian stepped toward me, grabbing my arm. “Amelia, let’s talk outside,” he said firmly, steering me away from the curious eyes around us.

Once outside, I yanked my arm free. “What the hell is going on, Adrian?”

He sighed, running a hand through his hair. “It’s not what you think. Mara… she’s been through a lot. Her father forced her to leave me, and the Alpha of the Redmoon Pack… he’s been mistreating her. She came to me for help.”

“And that justifies kissing her?” I shot back, my voice rising.

He frowned. “She’s my fated mate, Amelia. I couldn’t just turn her away.”

My heart twisted at his words. “And me? What am I, Adrian? Your chosen mate? The woman who stood by you when everyone else doubted you?”

“Amelia, that’s not what I meant. You’re my Luna, and nothing’s going to change that,” he insisted, his voice softening. He reached out to wipe the tears from my cheeks. “I’ll make it up to you, I promise. But for now, I can’t just leave her. I will tell Jake to take you back home”

His words felt hollow, but I nodded numbly. He kissed my forehead before heading back inside. As I stood there in the cold night air, the weight of his actions settled over me. Deep down, I knew everything was about to change.

As Jake drove me back to the palace, I asked the maids to clean up the anniversary dinner I’d prepared, then retreated to our room, too exhausted to think.

The next morning, I woke to an empty bed. Adrian hadn’t come home. My heart sank as I got up, the ache in my chest deepening with every step. From downstairs, the sound of laughter and chatter reached my ears. My stomach churned as I made my way down, dread pooling in my gut.

At the dining table, Adrian and Mara sat together, their conversation light and easy. She was seated in my usual spot, her hand brushing his as they laughed. They didn’t even notice me until I cleared my throat.

Adrian looked up, smiling. “Hey, Lia. You’re finally awake.”

I ignored his casual tone, my eyes fixed on Mara. “What is she doing here?”

Adrian’s expression turned serious. “She has nowhere else to go. Her parents won’t take her back, and she’s left the Redmoon Pack. She’ll stay here for now.”

Mara’s voice was soft, laced with false humility. “Please don’t be angry, your highness. I promise I won’t be a burden.”

I could see through her act. The feigned helplessness, the calculated tone. But Adrian was blind to it.

“Amelia is kind-hearted. She’ll understand,” Adrian said, his hand resting reassuringly on Mara’s shoulder.

My throat tightened, but I forced a small smile. “Of course,” I murmured before turning away and heading upstairs. I couldn’t stay in that room any longer.

"Amelia, where are you going? Come join us for breakfast," Adrian called as I headed upstairs.

"I'm not hungry yet," I replied quickly, avoiding his gaze before continuing up the stairs. I didn’t want to be anywhere near his ex-mate—if I stayed, I might say or do something I’d regret.

---

I had barely settled in my room when there was a knock at the door. Assuming it was a maid, I called out for them to enter. But it wasn’t a maid. It was Mara.

She stepped inside, her demeanor completely changed. Gone was the timid facade. Instead, her lips curled into a wicked smirk. “Nice room,” she said, her tone mocking.

I stood, crossing my arms. “What do you want?”

She walked closer, her eyes glinting with malice. “I just thought I’d remind you that Adrian is my fated mate. You’re nothing but a placeholder.”

My jaw tightened. “If that’s true, why hasn’t he rejected me yet?”

Her smirk faltered, but only for a moment. “Oh, he will. And when he does, I’ll be the Luna of this pack.”

I laughed bitterly. “Then why are you here, Mara? If you’re so confident, why not just take what you claim is yours?”

Her eyes darkened, and before I could react, she pulled a knife from her pocket and plunged it into her own stomach. Staggering backward, she screamed. “Help! Somebody help! The Luna stabbed me!”

The door burst open, and Adrian rushed in. His eyes darted between Mara, clutching her bleeding stomach, and me, my hands stained with her blood from trying to push her away.

“Adrian, she attacked me,” Mara gasped weakly. “Please… make her stop.”

As she collapsed, Adrian’s gaze turned to me, filled with rage and anger.

“What did you do?”

To be continued…

    Seeing what she had just done, Amelia immediately felt dizzy, and at the same time, her two feet wobbled, and she fell to the ground.Throughout her whole life, the last thing she has imagined herself doing was killing someone, and also before becoming a doctor, she had made an oath never to claim someone's life, and just now she has broken that oath, jeopardising her career as a medical doctor.Even though she decides to hide this from everyone and decides to continue being a doctor, will her conscience allow her to treat someone, especially when she remembers that she had broken the oath she took before becoming a doctor?As these thoughts were running through Amelia's mind, she immediately broke down in tears. Liam, who was still in shock because of the gunshots, on seeing Amelia break down in tears, immediately jolted back to reality, and with that, he immediately stood up from the ground where he was lying."Your majesty," Liam said to Amelia as he tried running towards her, but

  • My Ex Mate's Stepbrother Is My Second Chance Mate    Chapter 117 : I Underestimated You

    "Liam, what are you doing here?" Jake asked Liam with surprise."Well, Beta Jake, I'm the one who is supposed to be asking you this question: what are you doing here? You left earlier this morning with the Alpha, so where is he, and why are you here instead of being with the Alpha?" Liam asked Jake with furrowed brows."Well, I will be sincere with you: Alpha Alex is already dead, and I, on the other hand, don't want to have anything to do with Wolfenwood Pack anymore, so I think you should take your leave," Jake said to Liam, who furrowed his brows at him once again."Alpha Alex is dead, and you are still alive. How on earth is that possible? You are his beta, so weren't you supposed to protect him and prevent anything from happening to him, or were you the one who killed him? Because I don't see the reason why you would no longer want to have anything to do with your pack just after the death of your alpha, who you were supposed to protect with your life if possible," Liam said to J

    Amelia woke up some moments later only to find herself lying on a bed in a strange room she had never seen before.The last thing she remembered was being knocked out by Jake at Wolfenwood Pack, as she had refused to get into his car.Sighing heavily, Amelia tried getting up from the bed, but unfortunately she couldn't, due to the fact that both her hands and her legs were tied up."What the hell?" Amelia muttered in surprise, seeing how her legs and hands were tied. Without hesitating, she started trying to break free, but all her efforts seemed to be to no avail, but suddenly she remembered that she could shift into her wolf form, and without even thinking twice, she tried shifting, but to her greatest surprise, the shifting wasn't working; it was as if her wolf had become dormant and was no longer connected to her."Tricksy, what the hell is going on?" Amelia asked her wolf with a panicked tone as she tried to mind-link with her, but to her greatest surprise, she wasn't able to min

    After the discussion with Liam through the phone, Adrian increased the speed of his car in order to reach his destination as soon as possible.After driving for almost an hour, Adrian finally got to his destination, which was Redmoon Pack.Knowing already who he was, the guards watching over the border of the Pack didn't try to search him or his car like the first time he came to the Pack; instead, they only greeted him and allowed him to pass through.Getting to the palace, Adrian parked his car in the parking lot before being led inside the palace by one of the guards."Please have a seat; His Highness will join you very soon," the guard who led Adrian inside said to him and with that he nodded in reply before sitting down."Should I ask one of the maids to serve you something like water or juice…?" "No, it's okay," Adrian said to the guard, who bowed his head in respect before walking away.Just some minutes later, Derek made his way to the sitting room where Adrian was while grin

  • My Ex Mate's Stepbrother Is My Second Chance Mate    Chapter 114: Time to make the Alpha proud again

    The past few hours in Wolfenwood Pack have been nothing but great chaos; almost all the guards in the Pack have lost their lives except those you accepted to pledge allegiance to Dave, who claimed to be the new Alpha of the Pack.After striking down all the soldiers of the Pack, Dave and his men made their way to the palace, accompanied by Jake and the guards who had pledged allegiance to Dave.Getting to the palace, the first thing Dave did was to call Mara and inform her that everything had been taken care of and that she could now come to her new home, which is Wolfenwood Pack, and in just less than two hours, Mara had already come to the Pack with her son Diego.Meanwhile in the court chamber of the palace, Dave could be seen sitting on the throne, and right beside him was Mara, who sat on the throne that belonged to the Luna of the Pack, and right in front of them was Amelia, who was kneeling down before them while glaring daggers at them."Well, Jake, first, thank you for your l

    Bringing his hand to his back, Alex slowly touched the area from which he was feeling a slight pain after the gunshot only to feel some liquid gushing out from the area, and without hesitating, he lifted his hand up to his face only to see that the liquid was his own blood.On seeing this, it immediately dawned upon on Alex that Jake had shot him. _______________________________Giving how Alex and Jake were close right from childhood, Alex would have thought that Jake had shot him by mistake, that he was trying to shoot Dave and mistakenly shot him, but from the way Jake was smiling after firing the gunshot, Alex could already tell that he didn't do it by mistake, he had deliberately fired the gunshot at him, but what he didn't understand was why none of the guards did nothing about it, it was as if they were already aware of what was about to happen.As this thoughts were still running through Alex's mind, a sharp pain shot throughou
