Hi darlings, thank you for reading! XOXO
Amelia’s POV I shook my head as Alpha Nico began speaking, telling me that I would be taken away by plane with my family and would be safe, but then he said Beta Winston, with warriors and other she-wolves, what is he thinking. I looked around the table and no one was saying a word, all their faces were stoic, but Lilly’s face looked like she was watching a horror movie.I scrunched my brows as he addressed me, telling me he regretted what he had done but then the words that I only read began to float out of his plump lips, he was rejecting me, but why. I tried to speak but my wolf howled in my head, “you did this, it’s because you keep telling him you don’t want him, you don’t want him, you don’t want him, how many times do you think someone can take being told how horrible they are, how much you hate him, so now he’s giving you exactly what you wanted, a way out, happy now, because I’m certainly not.” I felt my body being lifted and now I was in the foyer struggling for my fathe
Beta Winston’s POV Watching Alpha Nico on the edge of that cliff, the howl that came from his wolf was pure grief. I don’t know what he was thinking or why his wolf was so heartbroken, but I knew it wasn’t going to be good.I followed him back to the packhouse but then I went to see Amelia. I went to knock on the door when her I heard her voice inside, “it’s not fair I’m mated to him, and I shouldn’t have to make this choice at all.”I turned away from the house and walked in silence back to the packhouse, I don’t know how I feel right now, my Alpha is hurting, and it seems that Amelia just doesn’t want him.Entering the meeting and seeing his back to the rest of us, I mind linked him, “are you okay, Alpha.”He chuckled sarcastically as he responded in my mind, “of course, Beta Winston, I’m an Alpha.” The chill that ran up my spine had me rooted in place as he turned and stared directly into my eyes. I couldn’t breathe but when he began to speak, it was a tone I’d never heard fro
Alpha Nico’s POV Bryce’s words echoed through the room as he stepped out of the library, my father’s large hand cupped my shoulder, “go for a run son, clear your mind, it used to help me.”I smirked and nodded as he left the room, Russ was the last to leave, but he shut the door and turned looking at me, “Alpha Nico, maybe we should talk.”I leaned back in the chair and motioned for him to sit, “we should, since we are the ones that are needed to either perform or restrain ourselves.”He gave me a half smirk, “I read something today about the dark witches a line in a passage, it didn’t flow with the rest of the context, but maybe you can make sense of it,” he closed his eyes, “the power that is pure, heart and soul, can extend the cycle 4 moons more.”I sighed, “that’s the problem with witches, everything is either deceit or so cryptic that it’s hard to decipher.” I ran a hand down my face, “I’ll think on it, maybe ask Catalina if she has a clue or perhaps ask Amelia’s wolf Harmony.
Russ’ POV During dinner with Lilly, I noticed she had some of the same mannerisms as Amelia’s and it was unsettling. Bryce told me about the twin thing, but her eyes hold what Amelia’s does, that sweet innocence that shines from within her. We took a long stroll through town and chatted, she told me about living in many different places, she is almost 200 so she’s been around some. I couldn’t help but ask, “so you’ve lived in other countries and your very attractive, how many boyfriends have you had?” I’m not being hypocritical, I’ve had plenty of women, but she acts as if she is a teenager, and she’s well over that age.She giggled, “a few, but nothing as serious as this,” she fluttered her lashes to me.My arched a brow at her, “serious, how is this so serious?”She smiled, “well, when we copulate and bring forth one of the most powerful pure light witches that this world has or will ever see, it makes it serious and special don’t you think?”I shook my head, “I haven’t agreed
Alpha Bryce’s POV Finding Alpha Nico asleep in the library was impressive, his concern for all this as an Alpha is commendable, but as my daughter’s mate, I’m not so sure of it. I’m sure it’s me just being a father, but I’m not impressed with his efforts yet and now time seems to be running out for all of us. After he left, I sat in the library looking for more information to help Amelia, this is more than any 18-year-old should have to be dealing with. She’s my little girl and now she is holding the weight of our species on her shoulders. Being asked to give herself to a mate that she has not liked before she even knew him. Her wolf isn’t helping, she is in love with her mate, and I get it. My wolf has always been in love with Mia, he had threatened me before Catalina left and even more times during the 15 years of her absence than I care to remember, his outbursts of profanities at me were nonstop for months when she left. I know how relentless the wolf can be, and Harmony w
Catalina’s POV I sat quietly watching both Amelia and Lilly as the meeting went on, Amelia would watch closely as Alpha Nico would get closer to Lilly, sparking her jealousy and I’m sure that is exactly what he was hoping for. I’m not surprised he is doing it, just that she is actually falling for it. This morning at breakfast she was livid over him once again, her words floating through my mind, “the audacity of him,” she scoffed, “using this bond and now this Blood Moon just to get into my pants, this entire situation is bullshit, oh and he has my wolf siding with him.” I couldn’t help but look at the bags under her eyes, she didn’t get sleep last night and she is always a beast when that happens, I shook my head, “perhaps you should cancel this outing with him, see him after the meeting, get some sleep.”She growled, “No, all that crap last night at dinner, she was spouting out things that made no sense and you all bought it, like the world will end if I don’t fuck him.”My ey
