Will Amelie wake up in time to escape or will she be shipped off to the dungeons? Ellie xo
Amelie POVI sit there in disbelief that Colby and Kate still believe what they did when I left. “Why did you bother to come for me, if you believe I did all those things?” I ask. “We never stopped loving you, Amelie. We were disappointed,” Colby says.Look at him in disbelief. “Why, after all these years of me being a model citizen, is it so easy for you to believe the lies?” I ask them angrily. I see their faces shift to confusion. “What do you mean?” Colby asks quietly. I knew that voice. That was his voice that says you better not be lying to me. A part of me simply wants to walk away from all of them but another part wants to tell them the truth. The reality is I have nothing left to lose. I already left my Pack. Clearing my throat, “After my shift went wrong,” I start to say as Colby and Kate squirm in their seats. “I started getting bullied at school. A lot,” I say looking down at my hands. I hear Kate gasp, “I knew it. Why didn’t you tell us?” she demands.I l
Matt POVI spent an hour last night trying to get Amelie to talk to me before Rosie whipped the door open shouting at me to leave. She then proceeded to slam the door in my face. Blake had popped his head out with a chuckle, “She is a spitfire,” he says with pride before shaking his head and closing his door.I laid in bed for a couple hours trying to think of what I could do or say to make this right with Amelie. We were so fragile the last thing I needed was a misunderstanding adding to our challenges “Misunderstanding?” Thorne, my wolf, snarls. “You did have words with that slut about becoming our Luna,” he reminds me angrily. I shake my head, “Not now, Thorne,” I mutter trying to focus on fixing things. “Yes, now,” he says as he pushes forward in my mind. “I warned you and you did not listen. Now I think it is time for you to listen to me,” Thorne says. “You need to simply go up to her, take her in your arms and mark her,” he says as if what he is saying is logical. May
Matt POVAs I leave Amelie, I relive the fear I had felt at her screams. When I raced into the room, I had no idea what to expect. Seeing her crying and screaming in what was apparently a dream broke my heart. I was grateful to have her back with us again. Even if I was uncertain for how long that would be.For now, I was not letting her out of my sight. I knew Blake felt the same way about Rosie. Someone was still after them. Whoever had them, had gotten away. There was nobody else found in the house after we left. All rogues had been disposed of.What they wanted with the women was confusing. I walk into my office and see Blake and Shane standing there. “I do not want to be away from the women too long,” Blake says. Nodding, “I agree. I dropped Amelie’s bag off, and she was screaming and crying having a bad dream,” I share with both men.“It must have been terrifying for both of them,” Shane says. “What do they want from the women?” he asks. “They have not told us yet
Amelie POVRosie and I followed behind Matt and Blake. Shane was at the door to greet us. Rosie moved behind me, uncertain of who he was. As I realized she had been frightened, I introduced her to Shane, “He is the Gamma for the Blood Moon Pack,” I say to her. “Rosie was with me,” I share with Shane saying no more.Shane nods looking to Blake and Matt, “We will debrief you once we get Amelie and Rosie settled,” Matt says to Shane. Shane shuts the door behind us and watches as we walk up the stairs.We reach Blake’s floor and Rosie’s footsteps falter. “Is there not somewhere else we could stay?” she whispers to me. “I trust Blake,” I reply calmly wanting to assure her we were as safe here as anywhere.I see Matt tense when I say that, but I do not feel bad for it. I still do not know his intentions and until I do, I will not let my guard down. “Amelie, there are changes of clothes in the room for both of you,” Matt offers. I know I should not be taken away by it, but his scen
Matt POVI was so confused as to what to get so I got everything. Burgers, fries, onion rings, colas, shakes, desserts. Everything they had. Whatever the women did not eat, Blake would I was certain. I was grateful when Amelie had said we had got there in time, but I was still scared for her. Without a doubt both women will benefit having therapy to help them get through what they experienced. If they wanted it. The last thing I wanted to do was push anything on them after what they went through.Waiting for my order, I glance out the window and see Kate, Colby and now Blake standing by the SUV. “Do you need me?” I mind-link Blake. He shakes his head no, so I continue to watch them until my order is called up.I take the multiple bags of food and trays of drinks out to the vehicle. I walk around to where the three of them were standing. “Is there a problem?” I ask. “We want to see Amelie, but apparently she is not ready yet,” Kate replies. I can see the emotion on her fa
Amelie POVI consider the question. Did I want to share anything? Would they believe me? Kate and Colby believed the worst of me. Did I need that to happen again? No; I did not know whether to share anything with them or not.I knew they were waiting for an answer. “I do not know,” I reply quietly staring out the window. I see the scenery passing by quickly. I recognize none of it and realize it was the time I was in the trunk, and I saw nothing outside. We must still be a couple of hours away from the Blood Moon Pack.“Did they say anything?” I ask them. “They said it was none of our business,” Blake replies. Of course, they would. Nobody wants to talk about their slutty niece. I did not think I could trust them and just kept my mouth shut. Blake looks back at me realizing I was not going to talk. “We will not judge you, Amelie; we just want to understand,” he says as he continues to stare at me. I know I had shared about my wolf with him, but I wondered how much the
