#Chapter302LITTLE DETAILSI have no idea how I’m feeling right now, there are so many thoughts running through my mind.I’m confused why I’ve got a mate and a beloved. I know we have a family history of having two... Nanna Ayla had two mates, but they think that was because of the prophecy, and Grandad Leon was always supposed to be her true mate, but never in my wildest dreams would I have expected me to have a mate and a beloved.I’m happy, elated, absolutely over the moon at the fact Brody is my beloved. He’s everything I wanted in a beloved. He’s thoughtful, caring, and a decent being. I’m certainly lucky to have been blessed to spend my life with him.But I’m also worried. No, I’m absolutely petrified. When Luca finds out I’m also destined for someone else, I don’t even want to think about what he’d do. He’s going to be angry and jealous, and that’s a dangerous combination. Jealousy can make even the nicest people do wrong things. Luca is deranged and definitely wo
#Chapter303WHEREVER YOU GO, I GO“So, we’re going to live in the palace forever?” Callie asked.Brody glanced at me with his brow raised. We haven’t discussed what’s going to happen. I still want to be part of the royal guard, but now I have someone else to think about.What does Brody want to do with his life? Would he be happy staying in the palace? There are all these little things we’re going to have to deal with.Until the threat to my life, well all our lives are dealt with, the best place for us is the palace. But after that, I need to think about Brody and Callie, not just myself.“I don’t know about the future, but yes, for now, we’re staying at the palace.” I answered. “Is that okay with you both?”“I like the palace. I like my bedroom. I like your family. I want to stay.” Callie answered.I smiled at her and nodded. “I’m glad you like it here.”I glanced to Brody, he seemed deep in thought. He smiled sweetly at me and took hold of my hand and Callie’s.“Wherev
#Chapter1I stomped back and forth across the floor of my bedroom, waiting for the taxi to arrive. I can feel the rage rising with each step, and no matter what I do, whether it's counting to ten, taking a deep breath, nothing helps; I can't settle.I thought I had experienced pain before. Everything I have ever endured feels minuscule compared to it. This pain hurts to breathe; my whole body aches. Sometimes, I find it hard to breathe. It feels like someone is squeezing my lungs, then releasing them only enough for me to catch my breath before resuming the torture, like a never-ending, vicious cycle.I collapsed against the wardrobe as I heaved in deep breaths and tried to calm myself down. My eyes began to burn as a low growl slipped out."We can't travel like this, Amaris. If we lose control, it's dangerous," my wolf, Aurora, whined.1"I know, Rory, I'm trying." I groaned, massaging my temples.I drooped my head low and breathed deeply. My eyes were still burning, so I knew I
#Chapter2Flight two six three to Exeter is delayed. Sorry for the inconvenience.'1I grumbled and ran my hand down my face. I need this over with, so I can get back here as soon as possible. The longer time passes, the more agitated I get."I guess your flight too?" Someone chuckled from behind me.I looked cautiously over my shoulder and nodded. A young guy stood behind the table. He had a rucksack slung over his shoulder and was scanning the room.He walked around the table and stopped in front of me. "Do you mind if I sit here? It's a little packed in here." He asked.I smiled and nodded my head, "sure."It'll be nice to have some company while I wait for this damn airplane. He smiled brightly at me while sitting down. He picked up a menu and began to dart his eyes over it."Want another drink?" He offered, gesturing his head towards my drinks, "my treat?"I gave him a small smile and shook my head, "I better not."He nodded his head while taking two bottles of water out
#Chapter3We pulled away from the car park, I admired the scenery as we drove. I have to admit, I have missed this place."How is everyone... back home?" I asked apprehensively.He kept his eyes fixated on the road. I noticed his knuckles turning white. I know this is a hard time for him too. I'm kicking myself for not being here when it happened. I wasn't here for any of them."Everyone is as good as can be." He stated."How's Lucas?" I uttered. He exhaled heavily and shook his head. "He's still angry with me isn't he?" I asked, sadly."Yeah, he's still a little angry." He admitted. "I know, I just hoped he would eventually understand," I hummed."He does understand why you had to leave. He just misses you is all." He disclosed, "You missed some pretty big milestones in his life." He added with a sad smile.I gasped harshly. "I was there when he met his mate, remember?" I huffed, "That was when I also met my mate. Well, one of them." I grumbled.1I held my head in my hands, b
#Chapter4As we neared the pack borders, the nerves kicked in. I haven't seen anyone from home in 3 years and I'm not sure how they're going to react. Especially when I'm expected to be their Alpha.As the border came into view, 4 wolves appeared from the tree line. I didn't recognise any of them but it has been that long since I've seen anyone, they could have different warriors.'I don't recognise any scents, Amaris.'They were all a little smaller than Aurora. She was quite a large wolf, especially for a she-wolf. But I do have Alpha blood in me.The larger wolf shifted, he stood in between the other wolves completely naked. I rolled my eyes but kept in wolf form.Aurora stood taller and padded the ground. The wolves all looked at each other. Before the naked dude spoke, "Shift." He commanded, well-tried. Aurora doesn't respond to commands. A wolf went behind the tree and brought some shorts out for the guy.Aurora cocked her head slightly then sat down. The wolves growled an
#Chapter5Lucas edged towards me and I backed away. "Amaris, it's me. You don't have to be scared." He whispered.I'm not scared of Lucas. I'm scared of Rhydian. I don't know what he's planning. This is how it starts, I meet my mate, everything goes great and then the truth comes out.A special potion made by a witch called Matebane. I was given this potion, which made me believe that another was my mate. It destroyed me last time.It's happened twice before. I'll be damned if I let it happen again.3I will not get sucked in."Lucas, you know what you need to do." Tristan turned his head towards him. Lucas nodded and kneeled in the same position as Tristan. He bowed his head, Rhydian looked at us one by one, confused."You need to show you're no threat," Lucas whispered."But why?" Rhydian asked, puzzled."Amaris's wolf feels threatened. It will be safer for you and Amaris if you just do it." Tristan explained. Rhydian sighed then kneeled. Placing his hand flat against his kne
#Chapter6I woke up with a pounding headache. I kept my eyes shut and groaned. I haven't lost control like that in 2 years. But my goddess, am I paying for it right now. If I lay here and pretend it didn't happen, I don't have to face the mess I have made.A knock on the door interrupted my pretending. I groaned, pulling myself up then glanced around the room. Fuck my life, I've completely destroyed the room. I slowly went down the stairs, careful not to make too much noise. My head can't handle the steps. I halted at the bottom of the stairs and sniffed the air. I caught the scent of my uncle, auntie, Lucas and some familiar scent. I recognised the scent, it's Lucas's mate. I met him vaguely when Lucas found him. Well, let's get this over with.I opened the kitchen door and stood awkwardly in the doorway. They all stared at me, probably trying to decipher what mood I was in. In the past when I have lost control, I never know what mood I'm going to be in when I have gained contr
