Amelia

“You will always be alone, Amelia.”

I draw in a sharp breath and feel the harsh burn in my lungs as I run. But I don’t stop. I can’t.

The voice slithers through the trees, cold and filled with venom. “No one will ever love you. You don’t belong anywhere.”

The woods blur around me with thick branches shaped like claws, the mist curling against my naked skin like ghostly fingers. Above me, the moon bleeds red, glaring through the thick fog like doom’s eye.

“Help!” I scream so loud, my thr

  • A Secret Baby For The Alpha Quarterback   Chapter 193

    LauraI stared at the unfinished portrait on the page, suddenly feeling like my thoughts were kinda ridiculous and absurd. I snapped the sketchbook shut, my fingers brushing over the clasp as I locked it. This secret? It's staying right here, tucked away in a corner nobody knows about.As I blew out the candle and curled up in bed, sleep wouldn't come. His face haunted me—the way he stood up for me in the snow, that faint smile when he showed me his overlook."Get a grip," I muttered to myself. But the more I tried to push him away, the more his image clung to my mind.Maybe this crush was doomed to stay locked in that sketchbook, just like I'd always be watching him from a distance.The next day, a pack hunt came out of nowhere. Sam stood in the morning light, his hair edged in gold. He glanced at me, his black eyes catching the rising sun. "Laura, you're with me today."My heart pounded so hard I could barely nod.The hunting party tore through the forest, wind roaring in my ears,

    Violet"I-I didn't mean to kill her. I just wanted to scare her, make her agree to let you leave Derek. But-but she said she would never let you suffer, and I got so angry that I just..." Liriel's voice was full of pain and regret."So all these years, you let me carry the pain of losing my mother? You let me think it was an accident?" My voice was shaking."I was scared. I didn't dare admit it." Liriel started crying. "Violet, I know nothing I say will help now, but I really regret it. All these years, I've lived in nightmares every day, repenting every day.""Repenting?" I laughed coldly. "If you really regretted it, why did you kidnap my children later? Why did you hurt Derek?""Because I lost it!" Liriel broke down, crying."Seeing you two happy, I couldn't control the jealousy in my heart. I know I was sick, I know I was beyond saving. But Violet, I really regret it."Tears came to my eyes too—not for Liriel, but for my mother who passed away. Finally, my mother could rest in pea

    Violet A month later, Derek was discharged.We went home, back to warmth and our life. He was still recovering—no heavy stuff—but he was living. Breathing. With us.That night, finally alone, he pulled me tight."Violet, I thought I'd never see you again." His breath brushed my ear. "When I was under, I heard you. Every day. Heard the kids sing. Your voices dragged me back.""We promised," I murmured into his chest, soaking in his heat. "I'm not letting you break it.""I love you, Violet." His fingers slid through my hair. "This life, the next—I love you.""I love you too, Derek." I looked up into him. "Always."We held each other and cried—for the miracle, the scars, the fact we were whole at last.A few months later, my dessert business took off. With his backing and the Ward Family's resources, I opened more than a dozen shops around the city. But I kept prices friendly. I wanted ordinary people to taste joy.He started sketching my dream flagship store, tossing out wild ideas I

    VioletDisinfectant hung in the hall like a cold fog. I sat on the bench outside the ICU, fingers locked tight, eyes on the closed door. Two weeks had crawled by. I barely left, only slipping out when the kids needed me.Derek was still out.That night on the cliff, he bled so much saving us he almost didn't make it. The doctors said it was bad—knife wound to the chest, a jaw dislocated from clamping the rope too long, systems thrown off by massive blood loss.They pulled him back from the edge. Even with an Alpha's healing, with injuries like these, no one could say when he'd wake.I touched the mark at my throat. It had settled into a little flower. Even with him deep under, I could feel that fated mate pull—thin but stubborn, like a thread tying our souls together."Mom, we came to see Dad."Leon and Theodora's voices floated down the corridor. I blinked, saw them coming hand in hand, Edmond behind them. He'd been helping me with the kids so I could keep vigil here."Will Dad wake

    Derek "The family's interests don't justify hurting innocent children," Elder Ward said, firm now. "Liriel, release them. It ends here.""I won't!" she shrieked. "If you won't help me, I'll do it myself! If I can't have Derek's love, I'll burn everything he loves!"She swung the knife, eyes blazing, and hacked at Violet's rope. She was gone—hate ate her whole.The rope sawed halfway through.My opening.While they were split between arguing and gloating, I moved. Now or never."Drop it!" I bolted for Liriel, going for her knife.She was quick. Instinct jerked her arm up as I crashed into her. White fire exploded in my chest.Steel buried deep. Blood bloomed hot."Derek!" Violet screamed, voice breaking."No! Why did you rush me?" Liriel screamed too.The pain blurred my vision. I couldn't fall. I would not.I gritted through it, wrenched the knife from her hand, and hurled her aside. Warm blood poured down my ribs, soaking my white shirt. I didn't look."You ran into me! I did

    Derek When Violet and I reached the spot Liriel named,sight before me turned my blood to ice.An abandoned pier. A cliff. Moonlight on jagged rock. And at the edge—the worst thing I ever saw—my kids, bound and dangling over the abyss.Leon and Theodora shivered in the wind, small and helpless. Their cries ripped the night open—and my heart with it."Mom!" Theodora saw us and broke down, wailing."Mom, help us!" Leon thrashed, the ropes biting into him. No give.Violet staggered, nearly fainted, then lunged for them."Babies!" she sobbed. "Please—let them go! They're just kids!"I yanked her back. We couldn't rush. Black-clad men already spotted us, eyes hard and hungry.My fists knotted. My wolf howled for blood. The urge to tear them apart clawed at my control, but I held the line. Our kids hung on Liriel's whim. One wrong move and I would lose everything."Liriel!" I roared, my voice ricocheting off stone. "Let them go! They're innocent!""Innocent?" A laugh slithered out of the

    JaxonFreckles gave me her number, and that's considered the biggest win in my book.The thought runs through my mind as I lean back in my desk chair, phone pressed to my ear, unable to keep the satisfaction from my voice."When I gave you my number, I didn't expect you to call and text me daily,
