AMELIA “ Why do you think His Highness will send me away just because you want it? ” She sneered. I took my eyes off Tyson and fixed her my best glare. “ I am his mate. And you are…you are what? I don’t even know what to call you. ” I was genuinely confused for a moment. “ I—I am His Highness’…I am… ” She didn’t know what she was either. “ Elizabeth! ” I snapped, ignoring the girl’s scowl. Tyson watched silently. I could feel his intense eyes on me, but I didn’t want to look at him and lose the strange courage I found in me. “ Yes, Lady Amelia. ” Elizabeth came to stand behind me hurriedly. “ Escort this girl out of the Eastcarin Citadel. ” I glanced at her from over my shoulder. She nodded quickly and progressed towards the girl. There was no missing the pleased look in Elizabeth’s eyes when she grabbed her arm and started dragging her away. “ Your—Your Highness. ” She stuttered, digging her heels into the floor. I blinked and forced myself to look at Tyson at last. His
TYSON She must have seen my eyes turning red. I ran my fingers through my sweaty hair and sat down on the edge of the bed. I was still having a hard time controlling the hunger for blood that was trying to make me run feral. I knew the scent of Amelia’s blood now. And for some reason, I craved it. I had to retreat earlier today because of it and I had to make her run away from me a few minutes ago. I didn’t know if I could hold myself back when I could see the vein pounding in her neck. “ Why her? ” I groaned, throwing my head in my hands. I never craved someone’s blood before. I did my absolute best to avoid consuming blood, to begin with. And it had been painful but it was not impossible. I managed to do it for a whole year and I didn’t think anything would push me back to the hellhole I crawled out of, a year ago. Even thinking about that time was torturous. I did something no other Lycan would ever even dream about. To protect my sister and her child from the Vampire King,
AMELIA I didn’t think he would listen to me, let alone agree to my idea. But, he did and I still couldn’t believe it. He didn’t need to agree to anything. He could have just sent me away, but he was ready to do it. Did it mean…there was still hope? I swallowed as I stared at the ceiling of my room. I had been at it the whole night and every time, I reached the point of the delusion about hope, I was forced to get a reality check. Would I forgive someone like me? No. Would I ever feel anything for someone like me? Never. Would I think anything good about me? That was impossible. The reality check was hard, but it was necessary. I couldn’t get hurt due to my heart again. There was no hope for Tyson and me. I was here until Tyson got what he wanted from me and until Adelia was safe. After that, I would accept what was bound to happen to me. A knock sounded on the door. I sighed and shifted my focus to it. Elizabeth stepped inside after opening it and turned to face me. “ Could
AMELIA I was stunned into silence. I didn’t know what to do. So, I kept my eyes on the table surface and sensed Adelia sitting beside Dad. The table was set and dishes were served. The heat of Tyson’s eyes didn’t leave me alone for even a moment. But I didn’t want to focus on it right now. I had to think of something quick. Adelia was right in front of me. The thought made me look up. How could I keep my gaze somewhere else when my little sister was right across me? But unlike me, she was not looking at me. She was doing what I wanted to do—stare at the table and pretend that no one else existed in this place instead of me. ‘ Adelia. ’ I whispered down the bond in hopes that she would reply. But she showed no signs of doing that anytime soon. My voice was met with resistance. Dad must have given her potions to keep this mindlink between us severed. This was the same thing that kept me from finding my way to her or else, I would have sensed her through our bond and gotten to her
AMELIA For the first three days after Adelia was taken away, I laid in bed and found my energy drained and my life bleak. A part of me wondered if I had given up on this world and didn’t want to face anything or anyone again. But, the more significant part of me knew I was just laying dormant because I was waiting. There was no doubt in my mind that Dad would do something horrible. So, like an obedient puppet, I was just waiting for that to happen. After that, I would know what I needed to do. On the fourth day, Elizabeth had enough of my hunger strike and went straight to Tyson because apparently, Former Queen Eliana didn’t give a damn about me. The head maid thought, at least, the Lycan King would make me eat or drink something and make me give up on trying to kill myself over this guilt and helplessness, but she returned defeated—maybe more defeated than me. “ His Highness doesn’t care. You need to look after yourself, Lady Amelia, please. Snap out of it. ” She whispered the sam
TYSON “ I looked into it, Your Highness. ” Evan informed. I placed the side of my head on my fist and leaned to the right. “ How much of it was true? ” I wondered. I shouldn’t be doing this. I didn’t need to order Evan to get some warriors to look into this Adelia issue when I didn’t believe Amelia in the first place. But even I couldn’t deny that something felt off. For all I knew, it could be a scheme of Alpha Kingsley and Amelia to get me to sympathize with the poor liar. That’s what it felt more like when Amelia cried and screamed at me to stop her sister. The sister in question didn’t even stop to look at the crying damsel in distress. Judging from the look on Adelia’s face, I doubted she was in any kind of trouble. She looked just a little distressed which was not a strong enough reaction of someone who was supposed to be in danger. “ The warriors reported that Alpha Kingsley sent Lady Adelia to her aunt’s pack. The Midnight Pack. She is safe and sound…She just seems to
AMELIA I didn’t know where this courage was coming from. I continued to walk until his knee touched mine and sparks rushed up my spine. Tyson’s eyes remained on my face, refusing to waver and steal a glance at the rest of my body. It was either because I was not attractive enough for him or he had extreme control over his desires. The first option sounded a lot more reasonable because he had seen half the women naked in this Kingdom and I doubted he would find me to his liking. “ Are we done with the Adelia Act? ” He asked. A vein in his jaw ticked. My heartbeat sounded in my ears. I swallowed my saliva and refused to answer this absurd question. It was decided that he wouldn’t believe me, so from now on, I would never try to make him. “ We are over it. ” I nodded, before placing my knee on the side of the seat. Tyson’s eyes narrowed on me. “ what the fuck do you think you are doing right now? ” “ I am seducing you. ” Was it not obvious to him by now? “ How do you plan on doing
AMELIA “ Are you not going to ask me anything? ” I mumbled as I walked ahead of Elizabeth. “ Be careful. That’s all I want to say to you, Lady Amelia. ” She whispered. Earlier, she was waiting outside Tyson’s room for me. She made me run back to my room, take a shower, and change into a presentable grey gown that she thought suited me. Now, we were hastily walking towards Eliana’s chambers. Apparently, she was still waiting for me and I didn’t know what she wanted. Elizabeth seemed to have a hint but she refused to tell me, or even talk to me. Was she disappointed that I chose to throw myself at Tyson even after all the rumors she believed to be true? I couldn’t tell but this explanation felt right to me. We stopped outside the big wooden door. Elizabeth pushed ahead and knocked at it. My heart skipped a beat as she stepped back so I could enter the room after a few moments of delay. “ Don’t mind it. ” She whispered. “ Mind what? ” I wondered, keeping my eyes still on the doo
