AMALATonight, I will be meeting a bunch of higher-up wolves who are on the same level as Seth or Richard Bates.I feel a bit nervous as the words Seth told me last night has finally come to me. If I screw this up, I will be executed immediately. Amy will wake up only to learn about my death.That is something I have to avoid at all costs."Are you nervous, Amala?"Marie is kind enough to brush my hair as she helps me get prepared.I just found out that if I want them to acknowledge me, I need to be presentable. "Somewhat. I need to stay strong so I can be alive when my sister wakes up.""You have a sister?" Marie asks with a surprised tone.I smile as I nod. "Where is she then?""At the hospital. This hospital that your husband brought last night.""What happened to her?""She's—" I cut myself halfway when Seth's words last night echo in my mind.'Never tell anyone about your past crimes.''Keeping a young pup away from the pack is a serious crime in Twilight Hound City.'"My sist
AMALA N-no way! A cold sweat drops from my cheek as I am beyond stunned that I couldn't budge as the guards approach with hurried steps. But Seth steps in front as he grabs my hand. He then glares at the guards who later flinch and step backwards after seeing his fury. "Alpha Seth, move away." However, that only encourages him to give a light squeeze on my hand as his fingers interlace mine. "S-Seth…" My voice sounds shaky. He turns back to the council as he takes a deep breath. "Council members, how could you have forgotten that the humans who fought against us have already lost and perished before I was born? This human…my mate, is younger than I am and she doesn't know much about the history of the war!""Yes, Alpha, it has been thirty years since a new era has changed for us. We fought for a decade against the humans to conquer and we obviously won."His thin frown deepens. "But, the war lasted for ten years, Alpha! The humans, despite being inferior, had known to fight back
AMALAEveryone stares at me in utter surprise and after declaring these words, the room has become eerily quiet. Yet, I stand there with a firm and determined look and I haven't stopped observing the look on that asshole's face. As expected he doesn't remember our first meeting, so in order to lure him, I continue. "Hey, Mr. Bates." I wave my hand, innocently. "Remember me? I am Amanda Gaines' daughter and we met three years ago."Richard Bates rises from his seat. His whole body trembles as he glares at me. "YOU LYING BITCH!" He points his accusing finger at me. "I don't remember impregnating a human!""If you don't believe me, get her blood sample, have both of your DNAs tested. You'll see she is your biological daughter."With his shaking fists as they are both clenching tightly, he glares at me. "Why are you saying this now, human?""Because if I will be executed here, I want to ensure my sister, Amy Gaines, will be living in a healthy environment. And if you die along with me
AMALAAt that moment when he held my hand as he defended me, my heart fluttered as I felt that familiar sensation that drew me to him. This cold-hearted wolf has kept his word by protecting me from the brink of death but I won’t admit that I see him in a different light at that moment.Unfortunately, that impression is being shattered by his cold words. He doesn’t trust me until now and he thinks that his wife, the woman who is his temporary Luna, is more trustworthy.Fine, then! I won’t be swayed again just because he saved me. In fact, I won’t believe any of these wolves again!But then again, he saved me three times now, huh? First with the Red Moon party when that pesky wolf got in my way, then, the time when he not only paid all of my debt but also brought Amy to a private hospital and finally, he defended me, a human, against the Council members. Amy has taught me to be grateful yet…it’s a complicated feeling.It is an awkward ride to the hospital as I am now sitting next to M
AMALA“Hey, have you heard? The Alpha found his fated mate!”“I've heard it was a human girl! The moon goddess chose a human for his mate!""What about Marie Bates? Will she lose her position?""I'll say we will protest for our real Luna! She has been nothing but great to our pack!""Oh, that's the one! Tch, she looks filthy don't you think?"More insults come to my hearing range like it has been intentional just to make me feel unwelcome.Unbeknownst to Amy and Marie who are chatting without a care of their surrounding, the whole area of wolves are looking at me. As soon I turn to meet their stares, they either look at me with disgust or look away.But honestly, it doesn't bother me even the slightest right now.My mood has already been dampened by the sight of Marie holding Amy's hand as they both walk around while Marie gives her a tour.Marie is clearly trying to take Amy away from me.I continue giving her the stink eye while she blissfully chats with my sister. I would have bee
AMALA"Wow, this room is big, Amala!" Amy runs around with her tiny feet.I scan around the room and let out a whistle. Who would have thought they would make so much effort for Amy's room as soon as we immediately left the hospital?Walls are newly wallpapered in pink with bunny patterns, a large queen-sized four poster bed is being decorated with pink frills. There are toys everywhere and as Amy opens the box, she giggles as she pulls out different dolls and books."Amala! It is like a doll house!""It is like a Barbie room which comes to life," I mutter."If you excuse me."Finrel, who escorted us to this room, excuses himself before closing the door. Now that Seth and that snake, Marie, are discussing their plans of "reforming" me, I have some time alone with Amy.I sit down next to her as she starts opening the huge castle with a king and queen doll inside."Say, Amy, when you said Frisky, what do you mean by that?""Ma-wi said it is my wolf!" She answers while taking out the dol
AMALA“You have my husband then I’ll take care of Amy, what do you think?” Marie asks with that angelic smile of hers.“Ma-wi!” Fear slowly resides as soon as she sees her and she runs, passing by Seth, and give her legs a hug.I glare at her and my hands clench. At first, I wanted to give her a piece of my mind, yelling at her for the stunt that nearly got me killed!But I can’t say it, not now…Seth is set in stone that Marie is too honest to her core and Amy…she has a strong liking for her.And that pisses me off the most!Marie crouches down a bit to be on Amy’s eye level as she asks, “Do you mind if I take over Amala for tonight, Amy? She’s a bit tired and I don’t mind staying away to be with you.”Amy quickly turns to me as her eyes fill with excitement. "Can Ma-wi stay here tonight, pweez?" Amy begs as she is very eager to be with her after their first meeting.A pang strikes my heart once again when my position as her favorite is at stake.I turn to Marie who only gives me a wa
SETHOnce again, that human, Amala Gaines, is testing my patience and each time she acts defiant, I have morbid thoughts of ripping her dress and taking her, forcing to mark her as my mate, so it will keep her mouth shut from now on.If I hadn't left that room, I would have done it.At that thought, my wolf supports the idea with a jubilant bark and I wish I could give it a warning glare."Behave, my wolf. Don't act rashly or else it only proves that human's point about us."My wolf only scoffs in annoyance and I almost attempt to roll my eyes.Even if I couldn't stay in my own bed to rest, there is another room where I can rest if I want to sleep separately from Marie.I head to the other side and to my study room and into the balcony.In this place, I feel at ease with its tranquil evening and the crescent moon illuminating the city lights.It is my haven and the place where I can relax if I want to.I found my fated mate but why am I feeling so restless? Why does it really have to
